Farming

[cat666]

I am currently higher than my friend in all skills. She seems to want to beat me in something and obviously I don't want her to. :twisted:

 

 

 

She blitzed my firemaking level, so I took mine to 90, currently 3 levels ahead of her. I think she got bored of that, and realised it was a losing battle.

 

 

 

Now she has decided to get high farming and is very very close to me. Luckily I have a huge stash of seeds saved up so last night did a nice tree run so today will be getting 5 mage trees, 3 palms and 2 papayas. Also planted a spirit tree which won't be ready.

 

 

 

Also I am doing allotments/herbs, strawberries, marigolds and high level herbs.

 

 

 

My question is, is this the most efficient way to train farming? I don't want to be spending too much on it and ideally would like to use the herbs myself, if I have to sell them though I will. Also I don't really want to be training farming, as I am after the new slayer items.

 

 

 

Any ideas on the best way to incorporate the two until she gets bored of farming?

I do:

 

Maple trees

 

Pineapple trees

 

and herbs when I feel like it

 

Cost doesn't really affect me, but I don't know about you.

I'd plant pineapples, yews (only slightly higher gp/xp than maples) and kwuarms/snaps/toadflax/whatever.

 

It would get you about 70-75k xp per day, and the seeds cost about 500k.

 

Herb runs make like 80k, so you would be able to make a good part of the money spent on seeds back by doing herb runs.

 

I will be doing this too once I feel like rcing again to pay for the yews, it's quite fast and cost efficient at the same time.

 

I really doubt her catching up with you if you keep doing this for a longer period of time.

You seem set, but if you ever get on a budget, do curry trees instead of pineapple, curry are only like 2-3k a seed and still give tons of exp.

While I don't feel I have anything to contribute since I'm less experienced at Farming than you, I just want to say you're friend really seems like an hyper-competitive person, especially since this isn't the first thread you've posted about trying to keep ahead of her in one skill or another.

[D Jay99]

Lol, tell her she should try to beat your smithing/range level too while farming, she may even catch up with you :P .

[cat666]

:lol: I'm more competitive than she is. I could just let her get the XP to rise above me.

 

 

 

If she sets her mind to beating my runecrafting or mining then she'd beat me :D
