Need advice for 99 Farming

[nerdboyxxx]

99 Farming has been a long dream of mine (been my favourite skill). I have decided to pursue. But I need a bit of advice first.

 

 

 

I am quite short on cash. I skill for money, and have decided to get 99 woodcutting over the next 2 months. I will be making approx. 28M to 99, I will be buying 58 summoning with this money for 10M, then training Runecrafting to get some more cash. So, money isn't really an obstacle here. I can make it (even if it takes me 4 months...) but all I need is some advice on training farming.

 

 

 

I am currently doing willow tree runs, mixed with a number of vegetable/hops/herb/fruit tree runs per day. To get 99 woodcutting I have had to narrow down my training to just tree and fruit tree runs for now.

 

 

 

Here is a list of what I do:

 

 

 

Vegetable: Tomatoes (will move to strawberries)

 

Hops: Wildblood

 

Herb: Ranarr (currently make anywhere from 100-300K a run from this)

 

Fruit Tree: Apple tree (will be moving on soon)

 

Tree: Willow (here is where my problem lies)

 

 

 

I have seen the prices for Yew seeds... I won't be doing those to 99. I have decided on maple trees. I need to know, if I play about 3 hours a day (will be doing the run and harvesting the next day then repeating) how long will it take me to 99? I know it will cost me about 120M doing this, but I can cut that cost down a fair bit with my herb runs.

 

 

 

So, basically I just need to know how long it will take. When I am 70 Farming, I will be doing the following runs:

 

 

 

Vegetable: Strawberries (Watermelon will just cost too much)

 

Hops: Wildblood (the best I can do)

 

Tree: Maples (this is what is gonna cost me)

 

Fruit Tree: (need advice here. Need a tree that won't cost me a fortune to plant)

 

Bush: Poison Ivy

 

Herb: Ranarr (Unless you have another herb that makes just as much cash)

 

 

 

So, basically need to know how long all the above will take to 99 Farming. Remember, playing about 3 hours a day, possibly 2 or 1 hour if I get too much schoolwork.

 

 

 

Thanks for any help.

At 62, start doing Snapdragons as your herb. You get, on average, the same amount of profit or more than just ranarrs.

 

 

 

I just finished a week of training farming, I only stopped because the seeds are curremtly being merched and are raising in price very fast.

 

 

 

Once prices die down, I recommend Maple trees, Pineapple plants, Strawberries and Snapdragons (plus whatever you want in the other patches). If you doing a minimum of three farming runs per day, it should cover the cost of the tree seeds. But remember, currently pineapple seeds are sitting at 26K, almost double what they usually are.

 

 

 

Good luck!

thanks for the input :) I am going to be making some cash through rcing, so the cost of certain seeds shouldn't be a problem. I'll definitely start doing pineapples and snapdragons as well :) I might not make it all back but it'll definitely cost less.

 

 

 

Well I better get started. Thanks again :D

Last time I checked, orange trees make a slight profit. The seed costs less then a basket of oranges (and you harvest 6 oranges, not 5!!), but I don't know about current prices.

 

 

 

Also, when doing willows, cut the branches to minimise losses. They are wanted by summoners.
