August 17, 200817 yr You may or may not remember me from when i grew snapdragons for all the barrows sets. Since then i have been busy farming well over 5k snapdragon seeds in several batches. I only bothered to take pictures of the last 3 batches and only have the last batch seed amount. [hide=Batch yields]In order: 3rd Batch Penultimate batch And the final batch of seeds I started with 2265 seeds and it took me near 2 months to grow them all, remember all these seeds are profit as i started with 4 seeds back in December. I also farmed limpwurts as well on the side, but i'm too lazy to take a pic of them. When i finished herb farming i had 5399 limpwurt roots, might sell of use for more herblore xp, who knows.[/hide] [hide=It's herblore time!!]I wasn't going to pass up the 2mil+ free herblore xp and i would of had extra cash after anyway, so i bought vials and spiders eggs. I was surprised how quickly they went from herbs to potions, just took 5-6 hours of non-stop mixing/looking at tif. Spent another few hours using up my eggs to rack in the yummy herblore xp :thumbsup: Ended up with: All of this pot making got me a well earnt rank of 84: [/hide] [hide=Heaven in alot of supplies]All the super restores got me all the supplies i need for 99 farming All of the yews have come from my kingdom, either directly or selling the other seeds and buying yews. Most of the spines came from farming them at the end of every herb round. [hide=How i farm]Note:This is zarfot's method not mine - Tab to Falador- Falador park (Yew/mage) - Tab to Lumbridge- Behind Lumbridge Castle (Yew/mage) - Tab to Varrock- Varrock Castle (Yew/mage) - Dueling ring to Castlewars and Balloon to Taverley- by the gate (Yew/mage) - Balloon to Gnome Stronghold- by the Agility Course (Palm) - Run southwest- Gnome stronghold (Yew/mage) - Run northeast to Spirit tree- Brimhaven (Palm) - Spirit tree- Outside Tree Gnome Village (Palm) - Teleport crystal- Lletya (Palm) - Catherby teleport- Catherby (Palm) [Also stop in Catherby bank quick to deposit Coconuts and withdraw a Calquat sapling, house tab, and 2 energy pots] - Tab to house- Tai Bwo Wannai (Calquat)[/hide] [hide=FAQ/info]Enough with what i did with the snapdragons, i think your wanting to know the details behind them. How many seeds did you plant per day?: 40-45 i was hardcore farming for the last month Whats your herb average?: 6.4-6.7, i was getting higher averages with a higher farming level How long did this all take?: 9 Months How did you not get bored: Always had a clanchat to chat in while i farmed Did you get annoyed by anything: Yes, slow growing herbs were the bane of my farming How much profit did you make?: It would of been 111mil if i sold the herbs straight off, but with making the pots it was 94-95mil. How much xp per farm round?: 3-4k If you have other questions i'll try and answer them[/hide] [hide=Farming levels on the way]Before posting this thread i got 93 farming from trees and forgot to screeny :wall: I started with 63 farming but only took pictures in the later levels. [/hide] [hide=Fun picture]Covered edge bank in empty watering cans [/hide] I'm proud to of done this, but i was also mad at the same time. It started off small just going for all the barrows sets them somehow changed to getting 99 off it. I would only suggest for people to do this is they have determination, alot of time and a clanchat that just keeps you entertained. It's going to be nice for the next 2 months or so casualy tree farming and getting about 2 and a half times the xp i was getting. Lastly, rate me out of 10. Those with a little bit of knowledge are more dangerous than those with none.
August 17, 200817 yr Very, very good. That's a lot of herbs :shock:. And 40/45 seeds a day, even that would deserve a 10/10 rating. Very nice herblore rank and good luck on 99 farming, hawt skill :thumbup:.
August 17, 200817 yr I heard you talking about a snapdragon thread in the clan chat, but I didn't expect it to be quite this spectacular. 10/10, that's an amazing achievement. Now go buy a few victory crackers.
August 17, 200817 yr Author AWESOME! Any anti-boredom tips? Tif/clanchats help alot. Other than that i'd suggest not looking at your seeds everytime you go to farm, did that with my last 50. Slow 2 days ever. Those with a little bit of knowledge are more dangerous than those with none.
August 17, 200817 yr Nice bro, you're one of the real farmers ;). Some people dream of success, while others make it happen.

August 17, 200817 yr I'm assuming you sold the super restores. How much were they worth? All the same, 10/10. Both for the speed and determination. And insanity. catch it now so you can like it before it went so mainstream
August 17, 200817 yr Author I'm assuming you sold the super restores. How much were they worth? All the same, 10/10. Both for the speed and determination. And insanity. 98-99 mil Those with a little bit of knowledge are more dangerous than those with none.

August 18, 200817 yr I already rated, but I have a question :). Did you make all your snapdragons into potions or only the final batch?
August 18, 200817 yr Oo very nice :) AOM pls :o o btw 93/10, now go get 99 \ Credits to Littleboy for the signature.
August 18, 200817 yr Gratz heaps! Good work :mrgreen: My Gallery :: Deviant Art ->Gallery :: Favourites :: ::My blog ::
August 18, 200817 yr Author I already rated, but I have a question :). Did you make all your snapdragons into potions or only the final batch? Just the final batch, really wish i made all the herbs i farmed into pots as well. Those with a little bit of knowledge are more dangerous than those with none.
August 18, 200817 yr you are like the pro-version of me i have been farming snaps since 62 (did ranarr before that) now i am 77 farming (doing fruit trees since 68) 2 question: what's your max snaps from 1 herb (mines is 15) did u cut the logs from the magic/yews? and bank them go for it, awesome achievement
August 18, 200817 yr Author 2 question: what's your max snaps from 1 herb (mines is 15) did u cut the logs from the magic/yews? and bank them go for it, awesome achievement 1st: 18, i was giddy :lol: 2nd: Nah i just pay 200 gp for the tree to be cut down. Thanks :thumbsup: Those with a little bit of knowledge are more dangerous than those with none.
August 19, 200817 yr I showed my friend this thread, and basically he said "that's how Rate this used to be...". Hope that's a good compliment for you. I never give ratings, because I think it's pretty pointless most of the time, but I'd definitely give this a 9/10, with the last 10/10 coming when you finish that farming. Awesome... awesome work. -Man, I really do love Runescape, and I'm sure if it was a real person I would of asked it to marry me by now.
