Are they permanent protectors of Herb/Allotment patches as long as they're in there? Or do their effects die after the first lot?

I really don't know, but I would say as long as they are planted they should be working their magic? That would make sense to me. But that is just a guess.

That's what I thought, but I thought some cool TIF person would be able to tell me the truth. :D

i think it lasts forever because if you try to pick them they turn into ashes

I haven't had a single strawberry patch die after planting them, and I've planted about 200 seeds. I'd say it's permanent.

I heard from a 99 farmer (she got 99 after the lilies) that they worked for ever.

 

 

 

I will definitely be using them as and when I start farming again.

:thumbsup: YAY! One go at soloing mole and i've got no diseases. :

I heard they only work for Allotments? Herbs are not protected.

 

 

 

Or am I mistaken?

Yeah, only allotments.

You don't even need to kill the mole yourself...the claws and skins are tradable. :

Going to correct myself. It's probably cheaper to pay the farmer with a basket of apples (I do strawberries) and plant marigolds. Marigolds sell high.

It'd actually be even cheaper just to supercompost the strawberries and let 10% of them die. :geek:

You only need to plant the lilies once. They protect forever. So you go to the GE, buy 4 skins / claws and trade them. Your allotments are then protected forever (once the lilies grow to maturity). No more farmer payments.

 

 

 

Sounds pretty cheap to me.

 

 

 

It's a crying shame they don't protect herbs (the only crops I grow now).

That would crash farming and Herb (more then it already is)

 

 

 

I think jagex made a oppise instead of when u pick the flower it was supposed to when u harvest your alloment but i could be wrong

Even if they did protect herbs, it'd only make herb farming about 11% more profitable. Remember that only 1/10 herb plants die anyway, so going from 90% to 100%, while significant, is hardly enough to make everything crash. And if you stopped using supercompost, it wouldn't even increase your profits because of the reduced yields. Besides, relatively few herb farmers will have done the Falador hard tasks anyway; the requirements are fairly demanding.
