3hitm4g3u Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 Is there a minimum possible yield for herbs when you harvest them? 5 with supercompost and magic secateurs. And with nothing? And do herbs still get diseases? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And do herbs still get diseases? They do. With nothing it's 3 I think, with just secateurs 4. Herbs die about 1/8th of the time with supercompost.

stonewall337 Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 I hated it at lower levels. Right now I do just herb runs. When I get into something alot, such as slayer/pking/making money by MH/camping I let herb runs slide. I plant marigolds/limpworts and toadflax+snap/rannar in my arms patch.

12pure34 Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 Once in a while I get addicted to it. From 50 to 65 or so, went extremely fast. Due to the cheap price of watermelons back then (2 years ago), I did herbs + watermelons, with willow trees, curry trees. Thing is, it.. was so relaxing. Wether you do 15 minutes of 30 minutes to do an allotment round, it doesn't matter much really. More then 3/4th of the work gets done while you do other things / log out. It is awesome. Currently I reached 70 and I am doing only Snapdragons atm. Invested 4m into seeds, getting 6.5m out of it or something. If watermelon seeds ever get cheaper again, I will become addicted again :D I just love watermelons haha. PS: who wants to buy 3.5k+ strawberries ? :P PS2: I noticed a few posts above someone stated 4 herbs minimal. With magic secrateur and super compost, the minimum is 5, average is about 7-8. About 10% dies if you include My Arm's patch. With all that involved, average ranges anywhere from 6-7 per patch on longterm. Can be higher, can be lower, Statisticly it is around 6.8 I believe. Just a little bit of info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there anyway to check on multiple patches while being somewhere else? I tried two herb patches but one died #-o . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thestig0 Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 I need to get back into farming and fit it around training other skills too, I get bored easily though and used evil stew to beat the Varrock achievement diary :thumbsup: My legions of fans: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimmy_jim Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 I haven't been a member since about six months after farming came out. It was all the rage then and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was a really good money maker, and by the time I cancelled members, I was making 500k-ish a day. The prices of all herbs have dropped substantially since then though :( RIP Michaelangelopolousu can control my tip it account, but youll never control how fine i am!This is by FAR my favorite song: I love N_odie and would never edit his posts! I love Rainy_Day too <3 And also Cowman_133. <33 Oh, and Laikrob is a going to hunt me down and kill me like a pest kangaroo if I reveal how awesome she is. I owe tripsis skittles.

bedman Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 I used to do it alot, but I'm a freak in getting rounded stats so I stopped at 85 because I didn't feel like getting 90. On top of that, the daily farming, albeit profitable, takes me out of my routine. I mean, bork, battlestaves, penguins, kingdom, and then farming. I'm having a hard time to find time to do other things too :o A Guide to Chinning in Ape atoll: up to 325kxp/h! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea where you got the idea that Farming has to be expensive... ;)\ It doesn't, but I'm not going to farm exclusively bushes, herbs, strawberries, and flowers to 99 am I? That would take over a year. Whereas adding 2 tree runs and 1 fruit tree run each day to that gets it in ~70 days. ~It's Super Effective!

Randox Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 I used to hate the skill more than I do now, though I still dislike it. About the only farming I do is ranarr seeds and watermelons (I get seeds from kingdom). I am often short on laws though, and rarely on normal magics anyways, so the house tabs I would consume would be a waste of time (I make them and use my house as normal teles, plus a glory and tele to canifis). This means I don't set up a whole bunch of patches unless there full of things I don't care about. Herb growing normally means me fishign in Catherby while I babysit my ranarr. Someday I'll work out a whole bunch of things to grow that will allow me to grow what I need to pay the farmers, so I can be self sufficient and not worry about stuff dying.

WoodenFruit Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 Farming It keeps the price of my obsession with Herblore down and before that I farmed for money. I only do herbs, limpwurts, belladonna and coconuts. Oh and the lowest yield without secateurs but with supercompost is always 5 for me. ______________ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zaaps1 Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 Yes, every farming patch has the potential to profit a considerable amount (except hops, which still profit, but a small amount). Herbs: Obvious Flowers: Limps and Marigolds Allotment: Sweetcorn and strawberries Trees: Willow branches Fruit Trees: Coconuts (pretty much all produce, just don't dig up the tree again, same goes with willow branches above. You only profit if you leave the tree there.) Hops: All of um? Bush: Whiteberry and Poison Ivy Special: All specials, except spirit trees, profit. Calquats profit eventually if you don't dig it up ~It's Super Effective!

Money Wasted Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 I used to dislike the skill until I had to get from 58-65 farming for While Guthix Sleeps. I loved it even though I did manage to lose 1m (I grew papaya trees and yews as well as herbs and all the other stuffs) Can't wait to get 70 for varrock diary :thumbsup: I still haven't started farming herbs daily though I plan on doing so soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

12pure34 Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 I'm making a bit of money from farming now but I can't see how people actually make a substancial amount of money from farming. Yesterday I finished my 100 snapdragon seeds. Bought for 4.8m. All the snapdragons eventually sold for 7.2m. Seeds for 20 herb rounds, lasting 15 minutes each at worst, 8 minutes at best. Let us say 12 minutes average. 7.2m - 4.8m = 2.4m Amount of trips: 20 Total time on trips: 240m aka, 4 hours. 2.4m / 4 hours = 600k per hour. Now herb rounds, thats time well spend!!

Everyonedies Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 i used to really dislike the skill. I still dont farm for profit although i have started to enjoy growing things. Im almost 41 farming 58xp away. So ill get it next time around. But what i have come to enjoy is the fact that once you plant it and pay off the farmer to watch it you dont have to do anything so it takes care of it self. Kinda like your kingdom which is another thing i love to do. Just cashed in for 9mil profit on that. http://www.clanhavok.net/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How are your herb runs that slow? Mine take like 6 mins max even if all patches give good yields :? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
