Lost Ark: Complete Mokoko Seeds Guide for Ardetain Region

Lost Ark’s Ardetain region has 31 Mokoko Seeds. I checked the numbers on 2025-11-12 and that count is correct for the three zones: Rethramis, Loghill, and Battlebound Plains. I’m a long-time player and guide-writer; I’ll tell you plainly where to look, why it matters, and what trips people up.

Seeds are small, green collectibles that give Adventure Tome progress and exchangeable rewards. Collecting them helps progression (skill point potions, cards, mounts at milestones) and forces you to actually learn the map. Honestly, hunting them made me a better player—better at spotting destructible walls, reading patrols, and choosing routes.

Quick facts (short)

• Total in Ardetain: 31 seeds (as of 2025-11-12)
• Zones: Rethramis (10), Loghill (12), Battlebound Plains (9)
• Common hides: behind breakables, in instances, on ledges

I’ve noticed new players rush the story and miss easy seeds. Why? They don’t pause to look for odd lighting, tiny gaps, or suspicious bushes. Ask yourself: did you mark spots you couldn’t reach? If not, start doing that.

Rethramis — the starter area (10 seeds)

Rethramis is simple. Most seeds are visible or require only basic destruction. This area teaches you what to watch for. Pay attention to: behind houses, near water, and between trees. A few seeds are inside quest instances—don’t skip cutscenes carelessly.

Tip: climb suspicious cliffs later if you can’t reach them yet. This doesn’t always work immediately (depends on your mobility), but note the spot and come back.

“Mark suspicious spots on the map — you’ll thank yourself.”

Representative Rethramis spots

• Lakebar Village: blacksmith rear
• Ankumo Mountain: waterfall ledge (climb)
• Prideholme: church courtyard
• Rethramis Border: behind breakable rocks

Loghill — expect puzzles (12 seeds)

Loghill adds complexity. You’ll need destruction skills, mobility, and sometimes timing. Use explosive barrels or skills that break walls. I found a few seeds required enemy actions to clear obstacles—yes, you may need to lure foes into hitting something (oddly enough, enemies are part of the puzzle).

Watch rooftops and cave ceilings; don’t ignore small caves. To be fair, some community maps are wrong—always verify in-game yourself.

Checklist example (use as a quick tracker):

Bilbrin Forest — 3  
Borea’s Domain — 2  
Loghill Dam — 4  
Medrick Monastery — 3

Battlebound Plains — tactical hunting (9 seeds)

Here you combine seed hunting with combat awareness. Seeds hide in forts, depots, and patrol routes. I’ll say something controversial: hunting here solo is often slower than asking a small group; some people will disagree, but fighting smart usually beats fighting hard. You might need to wait for patrol gaps or clear encampments first.

Area	Seeds	Hazard	Best move
Northern Outpost	2	Patrols	clear then collect
Central Battlefield	3	Artillery	time your runs
Southern Stronghold	2	Elite guards	stealth or group
Supply Routes	2	Moving patrols	wait for gap

Combat tips

1. Scout patrols before you try to grab a seed
2. If you can, pull enemies away rather than clear the whole camp
3. Keep an escape path ready

(This list isn’t exhaustive.)

Why collect Mokoko Seeds? — short answer

They give Adventure Tome progress and milestone items. Beyond items, they force you to learn the map and mechanics. That’s why I push new players to finish Ardetain first: the region is small, seeds are accessible, and you’ll build habits that save hours later.

Practical prep and route

• Bring destruction skills and mobility
• Have HP potions and empty bag slots
• Mark unreachable spots during first run

Recommended route: Rethramis → Loghill → Battlebound Plains. Follow the story for access. This works because story unlocks many earlier-blocked areas, and it reduces backtracking.

// Example quick route (copy for notes)
Rethramis: clear village, mark cliffs
Loghill: check rooftops, break walls
Battlebound Plains: scout patrols, time runs

Advanced tips (short list)

• Batch nearby seeds in one trip
• Document weird spots (take screenshots)
• Use community maps to confirm tricky locations

Surprisingly, some seeds are easier when you ignore the marker and just explore with curiosity—like finding a coin under a couch. That’s the counterintuitive insight: over-reliance on pinned guides can blind you to simple visual clues.

Here’s the funny part: many players treat seeds like chores. I found that treating them like small puzzles keeps the hunt fun. Between us, if you rush, you’ll miss subtle ones—and yes, you’ll have to backtrack later.

Rewards — exact milestones

As of 2025-11-12, common milestone rewards include:

• 50 seeds — Mokoko Seed Selection Chest
• 100 seeds — Skill Point Potion
• 200 seeds — Giant’s Heart Selection Chest
• 300 seeds — Mokoko Pet (cosmetic)

Don’t expect top-tier gear from Ardetain alone; Ardetain seeds are foundation work. There are exceptions for event chests, though, so check the event calendar (verify dates in-game).

Final, quick reminders

Start with Rethramis, mark anything you can’t reach, learn to read the environment, and go back later. This method works; I’ve used it since 2020 and we found it saves time. One caveat: server events or updates can change spawns (that happens), so double-check in-game on patch days.

Go collect them. Seriously—enjoy the little wins. I… well, I mean—don’t rush; celebrate each seed.

Good luck, and shout if you want a screenshot guide for any specific seed location!
