I’ve been hunting Mokoko Seeds since Lost Ark launched, and West Luterra is where you learn to look. I’ll skip fluff: this region has 53 seeds across three zones. If you want the rewards (and I’ve noticed they actually matter), start collecting early while you level.
Why collect seeds? They trade for account-wide perks: extra character slots, mounts, storage, rare materials. In my experience the 50-seed milestone (extra character slot) pays off fast. Surprisingly, some late rewards are purely cosmetic, so decide what matters to you (depends on your playstyle).
Overview — West Luterra at a glance
Three zones, 53 total Mokokos:
| Zone | Seeds | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Bilbrin Forest | 21 | Music/emotes often required |
| Battlebound Plains | 19 | Combat areas, hidden bunkers |
| Lakebar | 13 | Castle and underwater spots |
Bilbrin is the richest. Battlebound hides many behind fights. Lakebar asks for careful exploration and swimming stamina. We found tackling seeds as you do quests saves time.
Bilbrin Forest — quick tips
21 seeds here. Learn the Song of Resonance and Forest’s Minuet first. Some seeds sit by landmarks; others need musical emotes or precise positioning. The north has easy ones; south hides trickier groves. A couple are in caves.
Heads up: a few seeds require main-story progress before they open (this doesn’t always work if you skip quests).
Battlebound Plains — what to bring
19 seeds. Expect fights. Personally, I prep for combat: potions, gap closers, escape options. Some seeds sit in enemy camps; some behind breakable walls. You’ll trigger events that reveal others. Be ready to retreat if you get overwhelmed — quick exits are a lifesaver.
- Healing potions — non-negotiable
- Song of Escape or mobility skill
- Light source for tunnels
Controversial bit: focusing purely on Mokokos here can slow down gearing. Some players grind for gear instead; I think balance is better, but you might disagree!
Lakebar — castle and water
13 seeds split between castle interiors and lakeside caves. Many spots unlock as you progress the castle quests. Several seeds are underwater — bring stamina or breathing items (or you’ll waste time). One seed needs a multi-switch puzzle with guards nearby.
Swimming required? Yes. Plan for short dives unless you’ve got potions.
Rewards — what you actually get
Exchange Mokoko Seeds at the NPC in major cities. Here are common milestones (these are the ones players aim for):
| Seeds | Typical Reward |
|---|---|
| 50 | +1 character slot |
| 100 | Mount (mostly cosmetic) |
| 200 | Title or small bundle |
| 300 | Extra storage |
| 500 | Pet or cosmetic |
| 800 | Rare materials bundle |
Why this order? Early seeds give broad account utility (that 50-slot matters to twinking alts), while later rewards reward persistence. To be fair, some later items are less game-changing than players hope.

Tracker (quick code template)
// Tracker example (copy-paste)
West Luterra:
Bilbrin Forest: [0/21]
Battlebound Plains: [0/19]
Lakebar: [0/13]
Total: [0/53]Pro tip: don’t try to 100% in one session. I’ve noticed efficiency spikes when you split runs by zone and revisit after story beats. Oddly enough, skipping one stubborn seed and returning later often saves more time than brute forcing it.
One more controversial note: some guilds hoard guides and sell waypoint maps. I don’t like that practice — it’s paywalling exploration (and yes, that’s a hot take!).
Final bits — practical advice: bring healing, mobility, light, swimming gear. Track your total; aim for 50 early. Enjoy the little victories. Between us, sometimes the best part isn’t the reward but the moment you spot a seed tucked under a mossy rock (honestly, that small thrill never gets old). Oh — and I forgot to say: have fun, and happy hunting!
