First, read this, if you haven't done that already.

 

 

 

Just plant the best things you can in the allotments. Once you reach 15, start planting trees, and start planting fruit trees at 27. Once you reach 33 or something, stay planting willows/curry until you can plant pineapples, then plant willows/pineapples.

 

 

 

Don't pay the farmer to watch your curry trees, the seeds are really cheap.

 

 

 

While planting trees, also plant herbs. Plant ranarr/toadflax/kwuarm/snapdragon, they make quite a lot of profit.

 

 

 

Also, sorceress' garden isn't a bad idea. I got to 30 farming there, farming is way easier if you can plant trees.

always pay farmers to watch your trees, its not about the cost of the seeds, its about the time it takes them to grow. you dont want to have spent an entire day getting no experience because of death

No.

 

 

 

If I were to pay the farmer for all the yew trees I'm planning to grow to 99, I'd have to pay 48m to get 99. This would take 83 days.

 

If I wouldn't pay for the trees, I'd cost 38m to get 99, and it would take 88 days to get 99.

 

 

 

So, by paying 10m, you'd save 5 days, 40 minutes of 'real' farming time. Not exactly worth it.

 

 

 

This is just an example, but for most trees, it's better not to pay. Only pay the farmer if the payment is under 1/4th of the cost of the seed.

Doing all the quests that give farming xp is the best way to start farming, as you can get to 25+ farming rather quickly.

 

Fairly Tale pt 1 will get you to around lvl 17, which is enough to do to the drunken dwarf quest, which will get your farming to about 26. This means you can now do Garden of Tranquility, giving enough xp for lvl 29-30 farming. In addition, the Goblin sub-quest from R4D gives 1000 farming xp, which leaves with only around 1k experience needed for lvl 32 farming, which you could easily get using tears of guthix.

 

 

 

Thats a good way if you enjoy doing quests, and since I wrote that 2 years ago, I'm sure there are more quests you could do to get even more xp without actually farming.

I'd recommend doing the Fairy Tale Quest Part One as soon as possible if you're going to start farming, and most of all read the farming guide. It will help you out immensely. A week after beginning farming reread the guide. As well the magic seculars will really help out your experience in the long run. Tears of Guthix really helped me out. I had level 44 farming before I ever planted a seed. Just plant the best seeds available to you and make sure to have fun.
