An (Outdated) In-depth Guide to Farming

Recommended Posts

This guide will act as an in depth guide to leveling up Farming on any mode.

 

First and foremost, you're going to need supplies. To get what you need, go to the Skilling shop found in the Edgeville shops.

You're going to need: 1 Rake, 1 Watering Can, 1 Seed Dibber, a varying amount of Supercompost, and Seeds.

Seed XP values and level requirements will be found below NOTE: These are the total values of planting and harvesting a full crop, not individual crops.

Now that you've collected the supplies you need, head on over to one of the Allotment patches. These can be found under the Farming tab in your Training Teleports. To efficiently level up Farming, you should be rotating between both Catherby and Falador. If you have a Daily task requiring you to farm Allotments, the Task teleport will bring you to the Catherby allotment patch.

When you start the Farming skill, you must first clear the allotments. To do this, you use the Rake purchased on the Allotment, clearing it of weeds (which will be placed in your inventory. Drop them, they're junk). After the allotment is clear of weeds, you must use a Supercompost on it. This will prevent your plants from becoming diseased and dying. Next, you must plant the seeds by using them on the allotment. Finally, after the seeds have been planted you must use the watering can on the plants to prevent them from withering and dying.

As well as vegetable allotments, there are herb patches which allow one to grow Herbs. To grow herbs, follow the steps provided above at the Herb patch. You do not, however, need to water Herbs as they do not wilt.

In the event that you forget to use supercompost or water an allotment or patch, the plant will become diseased. In order to clear the allotment or herb patch of the diseased plant, you must use a spade purchased from the General Store on it.

At level 85 Farming, you will unlock the achievement Cultivator III. This achievement will grant you the Magic Secateurs item. Whilst equipped, the Magic Secateurs will hasten the crop growth rate, and it can be used in pace of a Rake and Seed Dibber.

At level 99 Farming, you may purchase the Farming Cape, which hastens growth rate by an additional 10% and turns harvested crops into Noted items.

 

With the addition of the Cavern of Prosperity, two new methods of farming have become available. After obtaining a Skiller's Tome II or greater, you may choose to kill Sapling (Lv. 50) or Deciduous (Lv. 100) Tanglefoot. To gain Farming experience whilst killing these, you must have magic secateurs equipped. Protect from Magic is reccomended.

Ents and Tanglefoot also drop potted saplings, which can be planted at the tree patches. Fruit trees take 16 minutes to grow, and require specific farming items to be protected.

The exp ratios are very very very off, for supreme atleast

The exp rates are the total exp gained from planting and fully harvesting. I've added a note regarding this to avoid future confusion. Ty for pointing this out.
