jaskkes Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 Hey I never post here because im lazy but I always read so I feel somewhat involved in the community. I know its not much nowadays because everyone can buy this level but its taken me a while. I started really regularly farming back in July 07' and have been farming herbs since then. In December I started farming maples and papayas, and had a month or two of watermelons. During this time to make the money for the seeds I trained runecrafting. The day I got 91 runecrafting was the day I bought everything I needed for 99 and more. Ill never stop farming, herbs are too good to not farm. Ive never bought a herb to level up, apart from a 100 or so rannars for some prayer pots when I needed them. Heres some produce I farmed, not alot considering I didnt collect maple roots but im guessing ive planted around 1000 maple seeds. I sold all my cactus spines recently (around 900) when they jumped in price. The curry leaves were also farmed, but that was from a while ago when I used to train with curries instead of papayas. Of course the amount of toadflax herbs is nowhere near the amount I have farmed because ive used them on herblore but you could work out how many ive farmed by taking my herblore experience, minusing the experience needed to level 81, dividing that by 180 and adding on around 5k toadflax herbs that I sold to buy pure essence. I hope I dont sound too braggy but I just love farming and the organisation and stretched time it takes. Worth getting 99? Nah not really, its not any different from getting level 83 but I guess it adds to my total level a bit. Thanks for reading :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichieMcD Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 Well done : It's always nicer to see someone do it the slow way instead of power planting "exp" seeds. 10/10 \ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D Jay99 Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 Very, very nice. I had this as my goal for a while too, but couldn't stand the 40k xp/day I got from pineapples/calquats/kwuarms. I do plan on getting it some time, but it'll have to wait. Getting 60m to pay for yews/papayas first :|. Congratulations! :thumbup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was pretty fun to see those herbs in trade values sometimes ;) Nopnoob = Thankyou :) kranked1 = A level is a level but it feels good to have done this slow and steady and not break the bank :D D Jay99 = I tended not to think about the experience per day but the herbs per day :P I was hitting almost 300 on some days, and thats nice! Cup_Lion = Thanks, you too! Lenticular_J = I love you for whatever Rolling Stones/Moss means! toast647 = Thanks for the thumbs up toast! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragons_Might Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 I liked this post up until.. Worth getting 99? Nah not really :o How can you say that? Farming is ftw... And 99 was worth every bit of work for me.. Best skill ever \ Grats as well :thumbsup: the trick is to balance all of these methods to get 99 and either play real life or train another skill while farming. 635th to 99 Farming 12/16/07 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
