I would assume that your herb drops will improve, but since the drops are so low-leveled to begin with I wouldn't expect to suddenly be getting lots of high-leveled herbs. In short, it will probably help somewhat, but don't be disappointed if you still get a fair number of guams.
Food barely costs anything...10 Pineapple pizzas which will most likely cover the task if you have a Bunyip, costs 3k if you make it yourself. The clue rewards will cover the cost. Or use bones to peaches and make use of all those bones, since you won't be getting much of anything else.
Trollheim tele and rune to the patch, i think im not to sure tho. This is the fastest way I know of. You have to do My Arm's Big Adventure to use the patch and Eadgar's Ruse to use the Trollheim teleport.
I think the nature amulet works on all patches (even trees and special crops), but the farming amulet only works on allotments. The amulet of nature is untradable, though, so you'd have to make it yourself. As for the amulet of farming, it only works on allotments and bushes, so you can't use it on herbs.
It's very simple. If you're looking for the capacitor, fuse, or meter, look in the console. If you're looking for the cog, lever, or powerbox, look in the boiler.
There are two paths to get there, and depending on which item you pick up, you have to go a certain way back. One of the paths requires a crossbow with grapple, so that's probably why you're stuck.
If you've done Tree Gnome Village, you can talk to a spirit tree and it will offer to teleport you directly to the evil tree if there is one. Usually there isn't, though.
Tip.it's circus guide is pretty good for getting started and/or getting the best costumes. You can find it under the minigames section. But, if you want to maximize experience, then this thread is the best place that I know of to find information.
I've never been too keen on the desert mining camp since the high-level ores are all the way at the back, so you'd have to do a lot of running to get to them. If you really want to mine addy, you'd probably be better off going to the Lumbridge Swamp or the Grand Tree and world hopping. Or, if you don't mind the risk, you could go to the hobgoblin mine in the wilderness or the Jatizso mine.
The only real difference between vinesweeper and minesweeper is you have to watch out for rabbits coming and eating the seeds you've marked before the farmer gets to them.
