Seaweed
Seaweed can be obtained by either fishing (using a big fishing net), as a drop from rock crabs, picking it up in its respawning spots, or buying it from Charter Ships in the Catherby area.
Respawn Areas
On Entrana, you can pick some of the seaweed up and use telekinetic grab to get the others.
Note: One great benifit of the Entrana spawns is that they are near the Law Altar. If you have 54 Runecrafting, it is easy to craft or Run Laws while you gather seaweed at the spawn. As the altar is on the route, it takes only a few brief seconds to craft the runes. You can use pouches if you have them. Simply wear your Law tiara, bring the pouches and/or essence with you. Then craft the runes and walk over to the spawn.
Shilo Village, there are four seaweed that respawn here.
Northeast of Rellekka, this is the best way by far as it is close to a bank and it has nine seaweeds respawning.
There are three main ways go get and bank seaweed here. The first is to make many lyres and have them enchanted. This will take one raw shark per lyre or one raw bass each while wearing your Ring Of Charos (a). After you have enchanted them all, use the lyre teleport to get close to the seaweed, pick the seaweed up then glory amulet or dual ring teleport back to a bank and repeat. The second way is to have started the Giant Dwarf quest. Bank your seaweed in the Keldagrim bank. The fastest way is to use Fairy Rings. Above the Keldagrim entrance, is a fairy ring (DKS), which you can use to go to the Zanaris bank.

Gems
Gems can be mined from any type of ore rock. Wearing a Glory Amulet (4) will increase your chances of getting gems. You can also mine gems in Shilo Village if you have 55 Mining and have completed the Shilo Village quest. Of the gems you can mine in Shilo Village, Sapphires, Emeralds, Rubies and Diamonds can be used in crafting jewelry. Opals, Jade and Red Topaz can be cut and either sold to a General Store for a few gp, or noted and brought to Gabooty in Tai Bwo Wannai Village who will buy them for Trading Sticks. You can use the trading sticks to buy village clothing or to get into the Mahogany and Teak tree area.
Another good place to obtain gems is the Rogue's Den as well as through many random events.
