Starting Farming

[Nul_Oblivion]

I'm about to start Farming and I've read through the Farming Skills Guide on this site a few times, but I'm curious to know the easiest/quickest way to get from level 1 to 30.

 

 

 

I plan on just starting with Potatoes, but which farming patches should I use? Should I plant potatoes on multiple patches at once or just stick with one for now? Also, what other crops should I start planting afterwards to get me to level 30 pretty easily?

 

 

 

Any kinds of tips and advice would be helpful. Thank you! \

This guide seems to be a good place to start, if it doesn't cover what you want to know, I`d bet that it is several more tutorials on farming on this forum. Just use the search function...

Firstly, dont just use one patch at once, it takes ages and watching your crops grow is NOT an option (if you want to stay sane).

 

 

 

In terms of gathering seeds, most low level ones can be bought from the seed stall in draynor (provided you haven't stolen from it recently)

 

 

 

Another route is thieving from master farmers but with your level I wouldn't advise that.

 

 

 

The main farming patches I use for allotments are falador, ardougne and the one near the ectofuntus (if you have access) - all the patches can be found in the tip.it guide.

 

 

 

Use the highest level seed you can (obviously) for faster experience or lower as your finances allow and once you get to level 15 growing oak trees will be your fastest exp.

 

 

 

Hope I helped, feel free to ask for more information/explanation

Alright, thank you so much! I had planned on using the patch north of Ardougne and the one in Catherby. I figured I'd just fish in Catherby while I'm waiting and watching my crops grow.

 

 

 

Is it worth the trouble and cash to let a farmer watch over your crops for you so they don't get diseased? I figured since I'd be close to both patches, I wouldn't need to worry about having a NPC watch over them.

It really isn't worth it - I don't know about your finances but the seeds at low level are so cheap the time you spend watching them could be so much better spent (and indeed with more money earning potential)

 

 

 

Payment is also kind of pointless at low levels (I only pay for trees myself).

 

 

 

Can you get online now, I feel in a generous mood and may give out some free low level seeds (although I have no potatoes =()

I'm actually online right now at the farming patch north of Ardougne.

way not to read the post, hes going from lvl 1-30

 

you should usemore than 2 farming patches

You should establish a route that suits you and your speed, using an ectophial, air staff and law runes should get you around enough places.

Keep in mind that garden pie raises your farming by 3 levels. This is a great tool for planting trees at a lower level. Once you start reaping the experience from trees you will be at level 30 in no time at all.
