Need 65 farming

[brad1431]

from almost 62, I am doing maple trees right now, but it is expensive, I need 65 for While Guthix sleeps, what is the best way from 62-65 farming? Thanks

Pineapple trees, Orange Trees, or Curry Trees. Also do like, willow trees, they're cheap.

 

 

 

Throw some herbs in, you'll have 65 by like, the next farming run after you plant.

Like darksin said, pineapple trees along with willow trees are cheap yet quick. I got from 60 to 65 farming in maybe 2 or 3 days when I wanted to level it. Just plant pineapples once a day at least, and willows at least twice a day.

Farming is one of those few skills that can't be speeded up because it depends on real time.

 

 

 

Always plant the things that give you the most experience at your farming level.

 

 

 

The only way to "speed it up" is to use every plot. By the time you figure out a good route, you'll probably be at the level you want.

 

 

 

The best things to plant will be trees and fruit trees. Papayas and pineapples and Yews and maples...don't really bother with anything else if you can.

 

 

 

From 62, plant watermelons (if you have the seeds already...they're expensive otherwise), strawberries, or sweetcorn in allotments, limpwurt in the flower patches, and the best herbs you can plant (which probably won't be snapdragons, unless you've saved those seeds, but just plant anything you can in the spots). Plant mushrooms near Canifis, whiteberry bushes (and make sure to dig them up and replant), and wildblood hops if you have the seeds (or whatever else you can, as long as you're not going out of your way to plant them). Note your produce at each stop and to make it easy, try planting the same thing.

 

 

 

ALWAYS pay to protect your crops, if you can, because it will eliminate the lost experience from dead crops. If it's cost prohibitive, then you can take your chances, but never with seeds you're paying more than 1k for (in my opinion). Always use supercompost, even if you're paying, because it will cut down on lost growing cycles due to disease. Even if the farmers are looking after your crop, they could get diseased (then instantly cured) and lose a growing cycle. This is why (rarely) crops will take five or ten minutes or so longer than expected.

I disagree with the above. Farming can be measured by 2 ways. The time you spend farming (this is the one used when calculating Farming efficiency) and in real life time. I think the former is the one that really matters, since you can do whatever you want while you wait so you can hypothetically speed up Farming by using better quality crops, as well. If you're worried about money, I definitely recommend staying away from paying your crops. It's pretty overrated. 1/7 Yew trees die, and it costs 80k. It costs 26k to protect 1 Magic tree, and since you multiply that by 7 it costs 162k just to save 80k. Obviously not worth it.

 

 

 

ALWAYS PLANT HERBS. You kind of shrugged it off and said do it whenever you can. Trees, Fruit trees, and herbs are the 3 crops that are actually worth doing. You make over 1m/hour + 50k farming xp/hour from farming herbs. Seriously. I say the watermelon takes too much time with inventory management to be really worth it. You could do it, but like I said before you'd be wasting time farming.

 

 

 

And yeah, always use supercompost.

If money is an issue and you know how to play Minesweeper (the microsoft game) then I suggest you try playing Vinesweeper on the themed world. It's 20k exp per hour and it's virtually no cost to the user unless you lose flags.

If you want to make some good food, you can also plant potatoes and sweetcorn, then catch tuna's and buy some bowls and butter in the chest at lumby. then you can make tuna potatoes.

 

also why don't you boost your stats with a pie?

He asked for fast, and as I mentioned, the only way to make it "faster" is to plant the things that get the highest experience. I didn't shrug off herbs. If he wants to speed it up, he has to use everything at his disposal.

 

 

 

I've never bought a seed...ever. I'm in the 80s in Farming and all I do is plant high level tree seeds that I get from MTK or other bird nests. I plant nothing but willows and up or curry and up and have saved seeds anytime I can't. I planted bushes in the bush patch on Etceteria every trip to MTK (once a day) and herbs harralander and below go in the patches all around with everything higher going into My Arm's patch. I saved all the cactus spines I harvest and use those if I have a yew tree seed and the five plots I never plant anything but palm trees in yield me plenty of coconuts to pay for magics that get planted in the Gnome Stronghold. I save the crops I have gotten/grown for other crops. I don't plant anything less than sweetcorn and only if I have all the seeds necessary.

 

 

 

The person asking should definitely thieve seeds for crops and find other ways to spend time between making tree runs, both fruit and wood trees.

 

 

 

I don't see where we disagree. I think paying for Farming is dumb, because it cannot be sped up, except for optimizing the plots and patches you have available. Time can't be sped up. Just maximize experience.

you do know that you can pot from 62 using a garden pie to get +3 bonus dont you?
