I’ve been collecting Mokoko Seeds since 2021 and I still find new spots in 2025. In my experience, these little green seeds matter more than most players admit: they give cards, materials, mounts and pets you won’t get elsewhere. If you want the short version — focus on thorough exploration and prioritize early-region seeds first. Honestly, that approach pays off.
🌱 What Mokoko Seeds are (quick)
Mokoko Seeds are small collectible items spread across Arkesia. There are about 1,200 seeds (counted around March 1, 2025). They hide behind scenery, under bridges, inside houses and sometimes require an emote or quest to appear. I’ve noticed you recognize patterns after a while; the game hides them where you least expect.
🎯 Why collect them?
They trade for tangible progression items, not just cosmetics. We found that the exchange milestones give better value the more seeds you bank. That’s why I save seeds for higher-tier exchanges — the payoff (cards and mounts) is real, especially if you’re building a roster.
There are exceptions: depending on your niche (PvP vs. crafting), some rewards matter less. Don’t collect obsessively if you only care about fast combat power. This doesn’t always work for every player.
🗺️ Where to focus first
Start in starter continents: Rethramis and Yudia — lots of visible seeds, minimal mechanics. Then go to Tortoyk and Anikka. Punika, Rohendel and Yorn hold harder seeds that often need story progress or emotes. Punika alone has over 100 seeds and many require endgame steps (as of March 2025).
Want a simple priority? Rethramis → Yudia → Tortoyk/Anikka → Punika/Rohendel/Yorn. Works better than random hunting. Why? Because early seeds unlock exchange tiers that make later hunts easier.
💡 Practical tips that actually work
- Check behind waterfalls, under bridges, and inside small buildings — sounds basic, but I still miss them sometimes.
- Use headphones and boost environmental sounds; that chiming gets louder as you approach. It helps more than you’d think.
- Divide a map into zones and clear them methodically. We found grid searches cut misses dramatically.
- Use community maps (Papunika, LostArk Codex) after you try a natural search — they save time on the weird ones.
Here’s the funny part: turning music down and environmental sounds up often beats staring at the minimap. Surprisingly effective! (By the way, this depends on your audio setup.)
“If you treat seed hunting like a checklist you’ll burn out; treat it like exploration and you’ll actually enjoy the journey.” — personal advice
🏆 Exchange tiers (practical table)
| Seeds | Typical Rewards | Example |
|---|---|---|
| 50–200 | Materials, small cards | Silver, potion packs |
| 300–600 | Better cards, crafting parts | Rare card packs |
| 700–1,000 | Mounts, pets | Unique mount blueprint |
| 1,100+ | Top-tier rewards | Legendary card packs, exclusive cosmetics |
Specific milestones changed over the years; this table reflects what Totoma offered by March 2025. Don’t take every drop as permanent — Smilegate updates things sometimes.
🛠️ Quick workflow (copy-paste)
Search query for maps:
site:papunika.com "Mokoko" + "Punika" + "exact location"
That search often surfaces direct map links. Use it when you’re stuck; it saves hours. To be fair, sometimes community markers are out of date, so verify in-game.
🔍 Advanced notes and odd tips
Some controversial takes: the community overvalues cosmetic seed rewards compared to gameplay gains — I disagree with that trend. Also, I think developers sometimes lock seeds behind tedious quest chains just to stretch playtime (yes, that’s cynical). Would you agree?
Counterintuitive insight: skipping a side quest for a while can reveal seeds you’d otherwise miss because the world state changes when you return. I… well, I tested this on several maps in 2024 and 2025 and found it true in a few cases.
Analogy: hunting Mokokos is like combing an old attic — you need a flashlight, patience, and the willingness to move things around. Another one: seeds are breadcrumbs that guide you through the map’s hidden stories.
📌 Region snapshot (short)
- Rethramis: easy, visible; great for starters.
- Yudia: similar; good early bank of seeds.
- Tortoyk/Anikka: moderate; some quest locks.
- Punika/Rohendel/Yorn: hard; story or roster gated.
Tip: collect region seeds as you follow the main story. We found most early-region seeds come naturally that way.
Final thoughts (brief)
Seed hunting is slow but rewarding. If you want efficient progress, be methodical, use sound, check community maps after you try on your own, and save seeds for higher exchange tiers. There are exceptions and updates (watch patch notes in 2025), but persistent collectors get the best long-term value. Go find a few — you’ll be surprised what turns up!
