The garden

Where to get twigs and cut grass, and how to use the scythe

Release-week resource replies and developer scythe control · Sources checked October 1, 2026

The short answer

Get a scythe from the woman selling seeds at the market, right-click it in the hotbar to equip it, then click grass clumps. Eastshade supplies that equip-and-use sequence. For twigs, a player directs you to chop trees; the axe is used through the enchanted tree-cutting spell, rather than a normal inventory axe.

Buy, equip and use the scythe

  1. Find the seed seller at the Wisk market and inspect her scythe listing.
  2. Put the scythe in an accessible hotbar slot.
  3. Right-click its hotbar icon to equip it, then left-click a grass clump to use it.
  4. Check the collected grass before repeating the action for the amount your recipe requires.

The October 1 shop guide lists a scythe for 65 GP at the seed shop. The original problem was having the tool without knowing the use action. These replies do not establish a mana cost for the scythe, so a full mana bar alone is not the missing equip step.

Use the woodcutting song for twigs

A release-week answer identifies chopping trees as the twig source. Follow the enchanted axe and tree-cutting guide to cast the chant on a suitable tree, then check the resulting items. If you have not obtained the song yet, continue the first garden lesson; buying the grass-cutting tool does not unlock the tree spell.

Keep gathering separate from pond planting

The scythe is also named in players’ cranberry pond preparation and harvest instructions. That is a water-edge task, not the land-plot tilling sequence. If your goal is a potion ingredient, gather the named resource and check your recipe; these discussions do not establish that any grass, bush or tree gives every ingredient, or specify a universal respawn timer.
