ikraz66 Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 Farming: You will not be able to plant trees, bushes, calquat or cactus (because the potted versions of these plants are untradeable). If you later harvest your produce without assistance, you will get no experience for doing so unless you have a sufficient level. According to this, you can not get experience from harvesting crops unless you have the required level. Does this mean that if i use garden pies or spicey stews to plant high level herbs or trees, I will no longer get harvesting/ check health exp? Proud owner of a Quest cape!

The_Kuniva Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 This is just to do with the new assist system, if you plant them on your own with a garden pie, you still get the exp when you pick/check health. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordanweb Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 I always thought you needed the level to check-health... To answer your question, it probably does, best way to find out is to test it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, I did calquat trees at 69 with garden pies, you only need to eat the pie to plant the tree, you don't need to have the level to check it's health Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To answer your question, it probably does, best way to find out is to test it though.I got 75 farming by checking health on a magic tree, so you didn't need the level to check health when I last checked. I also planted dwarf weeds with spicy stew and got exp from picking. Proud owner of a Quest cape! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikraz66 Posted November 7, 2007 Author Share Posted November 7, 2007 I just found this in the recent updates forum: Warning! If you have 80-82 farming and are growing spirit trees with garden pies be sure to raise your farming lvl before you check health! Prior to this update you could always plant a seed above your farming level with the benefit of garden pie or EVIL dave's stew and then you could check health or harvest it at any farming level without using another pie. You always got full xp for harvesting/checking health, even though you did not have the appropriate level. I've done this many times with spirit trees and recently have also done it with Torstol herbs. Now, when they made the Assist System update they made it so that you could plant certain things far above your skill level with the help of other farmers. To go along with this, they changed it so that you cannot get xp for checking health or harvesting ANY plant that you don't have the xp to use yourself. When I saw this in the Assist System article in the KB I assumed it just would apply to plants that you planted using the Assist System, but it applies to plants you planted yourself as well. I just tried it for myself... I am 82 farming, planted torstol seeds myself using garden pie, then I harvested with only 82 farming and I got zero xp. So, if you're growing high level plants all by yourself using garden pies, be sure you raise your level before you check health. They REALLY should have drawn attention to this more. Losing 19k farming xp because you don't know the rule has changed before you check your spirit tree would really be a disaster. It makes no mention of this change in the Farming section of the knowledge base, even though many of the most damaging occurrances will involve trees that cannot even be planted using the assist system. Looks like you can't pot up for herb seeds. Check health exp for trees is still unconfirmed Proud owner of a Quest cape! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Kuniva Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 If that's true then i feel it may be a bug, I doubt jagex would change it like that on purpose, just a side effect/screw up of the new assist system. But if it is the case, you should pot/pie up before you check-health in order to prevent missing out on some well earned XP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ikraz66 Posted November 8, 2007 Author Share Posted November 8, 2007 Well I had no problem checking the health of my Taverly yew tree at 59 farmig 1 hour ago Whew that's a relief. It looks like you only need to have the farming level to get exp for picking exp and not check health. Proud owner of a Quest cape! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
