About Torstol seed
Torstol seeds are for herb runs. Planting one in a herb patch requires 85 Farming and produces grimy torstol, which can be cleaned for Herblore. The seed and herb have separate prices: when you buy a seed, you are paying for the harvest you expect to get. Farmers compare that cost with the value of the herbs, allowing for disease and variations in yield.
New seeds come from monsters, seed packs, and pickpocketing master farmers. Planting uses up a seed, so regular herb runs mean repeat purchases. Gardeners will not protect herb patches for payment, and white lilies do not protect them either. Compost increases harvest lives; your Farming level also affects the chance of saving a life while harvesting. Those mechanics matter when deciding how much to pay for a run.
Torstol herbs go into super combat potions, anti-venom+, Zamorak brews, and surge potions. Seed buyers therefore have a reason to check the herb market as well as the seed quote. For resale, focus on activity at both prices: a farmer buying a stack and someone selling seed drops can leave very different volumes on each side. A large daily total is less helpful if the latest trades have gone quiet.
