Farming - does the level matter?

[rikvdb2]

Do your crops/herbs die more often when you have a low farming level? i.e. if you have 85 farming, do your torstols die more often than if you have 90 or 95 farming?

 

 

 

Thanks.

I can't say for sure, but I do am pretty convinced that it does matter.

 

My snapdragons die less often now than when I was a level 62 farmer.

 

I hope I could help :D

Thank you for your response. In a week I will be 85 farming but if my torstols are going to die often I would stay at dwarf weeds. The problem is that with farming you can only do it at specific times on a day (not like other skills (e.g. fletching) which you can do actually whenever you want) so it is important to know which one is the fastest (or cheapest). Thanks again.

No, the death rate is the same for your plants regardless of your farming level. A level 99 farmer will lose their potatoes to disease just as often as a level 1 farmer.

troacctid may be correct on that, I really do not know. I am pretty sure it increases you yield some. I have heard some say it doesn't. But on my account it does. It does for allotments anyway I am for sure. I'm thinking it may not increase yield on herbs for what ever reason?

Doesn't increase yields either. Farming levels allow you to plant new things, but the old things are always the same no matter what level you are.

I really don't think so. But what does matter is whether or not you're using compost/supercompost. And you can also pay farmers to farm your crops for you. You can also use that patch up on top of the one mountian (the name escapes me at them moment), where the herbs never die.

You are more than likely right troacctid. I may have went from compost to supercompost or something and didn't really think about it at the time, just noticed bigger yields. Cause at one point I do remember starting to get better yields on potatoes back when I was farming them.

Thank you, I'll switch to torstol directly when I can :

Actually, since farming level doesn't matter except to plant new crops, it follows that you should probably plant whichever herb is most profitable and not worry about the experience, since by the time you could plant torstol you can already plant everything and further level-ups don't help you.

You're right, but I want as much experience as I can because I'm aiming to get a high farming level. The cape I also love and because farming is quite a slow skill and you cannot do it just whenever you want, I do have to care about the experience. With 'my' method of farming it will already take 300 days :shock:. For profit I already have other methods and therefore, for me, the experience currently is more important.

 

Thanks anyway for your suggestion.
