MaffeDennis Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 I've recently been questing like crazy i started this month with only 116 qp and now i have 255 qp \ These are the quests i still need to complete: Back To My Roots Cabin Fever Dealing with scabaras Devious Minds Fairy Tale Part 2 The Great Brain robbery Grim Tales Rocking out Rum Deal Spirit of summer Summer's end And of course While Guthix sleeps I still need some other quest requirements in order to complete them all but most of them won't take that long. But with farming there's nothing you can really do in order to speed up the process so i was wondering what would be the fasted way of getting my farming up? I'll probably wait for things to grow while im skilling/questing. Thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
intervention Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 trees and fruit trees get gardner to look after them and check on them twice a day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladycai Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 Also, making herbs would help cover for the dent that fruit tree/tree seeds give. EDIT: If you imagine toadflax, with sup compost and secrateurs you'd get about 7 per patch; now multiply that by four patches! Not to mention you can do this every 80min or so. 95/99 Summoning95/99 Slayer [hide=This is what you look like when you play RS too long][/hide] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Low C Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 Manage Thy Kingdom can get you fruit tree seeds very cheap, all you have to do is put your workers on maples. And like Lady said, herbs will cover your other costs. All the farming levels I've gotten were cheap and I don't think I've spent anything on it overall, matter of fact I think I've profited from farm.

Jesus_Status Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 tree seeds are good up till about 60...doin tree seeds alone costs me about 4-5mil to get to 65, but that was when all the seeds where at peak most seeds have dropped about 30% in price now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Locust Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 If you can get your hands on "Garden Pie"...it temporarily boosts your farming level by 3 levels. You can plant things in advance and enjoy the extra xp (while getting rid of those seeds sitting in your bank)... Garden pies are pretty easy to make with the cooking skill. Good luck!

dorcus1 Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 Plant all the highest tree seeds (fruit and normal), the highest herbs, and watermelons. And play vinesweeper. I got to my farming lvl mostly with herbs, though, so my advice is just pointing out the obvious. "The best defence is to stay out of range" - French proverbBad luck happens. Learn and get over it.

The fastest exp would be your best fruit tree seed and your best regular tree seed. Plant those. You can check and plant the regular ones 2 times a day. (I usually just do it once though) and you can check your fruit trees once a day. This is going to be costly though so I will tell you a less costly way in a bit more detail. ----------------------------------------------------------- This is usually the best "bang for your buck": The best regular seed to use is the willow seeds, even when you can plant maples and yews. (For faster exp you might want to step up to maples but it will cost you.. in fact I don't think its worth it seeing as they are 34k!! Compared to 4k for a willow seed) Willows are the best gp/exp As for your fruit trees you should be planting any really. Once you hit level 51 farming only do Pineapples though. So from 37-51 do whatever you can. Banana's until 39 then oranges until 51 (you can switch to curry but its only 500 more exp per seed and cost 3k per seed where as oranges are only 800 gp) Once you hit 51 go straight to pineapples. Now to make a dent in (for the most part completely cover the cost for farming) you will need to plant herbs. Doing toadflax + marigolds have the best return ratio gp/seed. (I do toadflax even though I can plant ranarr and snaps, they are more worth it IMO) A toadflax seed is 460 gp but the herbs you get back can be sold for 2.1k! So once you get that 1 level plant toadflax's + marigolds for the max return. Doing 4+ herb runs a day is enough to pay for any costs you ensue for the price of tree seeds. So I will summarize if for you. The only thing you should be planting is: Regular trees. (Willows all the way to your goal level) Fruit trees. (Banana until oranges, then oranges until pineapples. Pineapples until your goal level) Herbs + Flowers. (Toadflax and marigolds, all the way to your goal level) Things to Remember: -Magic Sectuers (when you get them) always use them when harvesting herbs. -Always use super-compost on your herb seeds and marigolds too if you want (I always do) -Always pay the farmers their respective costs when planting trees. Some people tell you not to but I don't like losing out on an extra 8k exp if a couple of my trees die. (The cost of farmer payments can make it get a bit pricey, but its nothing that a 5th herb run can't cover the cost of) -Always do 4 herb runs a day (5 or more if you are on a bit more often and can squeeze it in) -Always do ONE tree run a day. This applies to fruit trees mainly since they only grow once a day. But you can if you want make two regular tree runs a day to maximize your exp. (If I forgot anything I welcome anyone to correct me)... Djay? ... :oops: Apparently, my signature was to big. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
