Strange Plant



Strange Plants are Hardmode quest plant items that can be turned in to the Dye Trader, who rewards the player with 1 out of 33 special dyes, all but two of which are quest-exclusive (the player receives 6 of the randomly chosen dye type).

Strange Plants are found at any altitude, and can grow in most biomes, though this follows certain restrictions (see below).

Tips

 * Since Strange Plants can grow on bare, grassless Dirt, a simple farm can be made to collect them. An empty long, flat platform above the ground can be an effective method of spawning them.
 * An easy way to find Strange Plants is to go across the surface with the Spelunker Potion effect, as Strange Plants will be highlighted.
 * Strange Plants can spawn on Floating Islands. Since those may be rarely visited, touring them can often yield several.
 * Selling the dyes granted as rewards for turning in the Strange Plant is more profitable than selling the plant itself. A single Strange Plants sells for while the quest-exclusive dyes can be sold for  each, at minimum.
 * By making a Dirt bridge across the sky, it would allow Strange Plants as well as Blinkroot to spawn easier, as using grass spawns weeds, which lowers the spawn chance of Strange Plants.
