Neohero1972 Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 Hi I'm sorry if this is the wrong section to post this in. I have noticed that after i have completed the Buyers and Cellars + sub quests then it is almost impossible to get potato seeds as a drop from Master Farmers (i've actually had to buy the potato seeds i need !) Has anyone else had similar experience ? Suggestion: If completing Buyers and Cellars has more benefits (i'm aware that quality of drops becomes better from NPCs up to level 40) then we definitely should have a section for this in the Thieving Skill Guide.

Saunamajuri Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 Why would you want to grow potato? Arent they already plentiful around lumbridge? "An Amateur practices until he can get it right. A Professional practices until he can't get it wrong." Quests just keep bringing me back to this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, i'm using them: 1. to make tuna potatos2. to get strange rocks However, that wasn't really my question !

But I still manage to get them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ambler Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 As far as I am aware it increases the chance of getting rarer loots- so you will not get some bad ones as often! hopeully the better drops should pay for your seeds though! ^^My blog of EoC PvM, lols and Therapy.^^My livestream- Currently: Offline :(Offical Harpy Therapist of the Mad[hide=Lewtations]Barrows drops: Dharok's helm x2, Guthan's helm, Ahrim's top, Hood and skirt, Torag's hammers, Karils skirt, Karil's top, Torag's helm, Verac's skirt, Verac's Flail, Dharok's Platebody.Dag kings drops: Lost count! :wall:4k+ Glacors, 7 Ragefires, 4 Steadfasts, 4 Glaivens, 400+ shards![/hide] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also lets you continue thieving even with a full inventory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neohero1972 Posted April 30, 2010 Author Share Posted April 30, 2010 I got 3 clue scrolls from pickpocketing 6 H.A.M members, so the drop rate of good stuff from lower leveled NPCs has really gone up - just too bad that i'm wayy tooo lazy to got on treasure hunt !

Evil_Sabre Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 You're getting better loot, therefore more money; so buy potato seeds with the extra money. This topic is pointless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outsanity Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 Likewise however, the chance of most ALL herb seeds minus tarromin (and if I remember correctly from when I thieved the other day) harralander, has gone down immensely. I have 99 thieving and 87 agility (for extra loot) and in more than 60k thieving exp, I didn't get a single herb seed other than the two I mentioned, which I got quite a lot of. What this means to me is that now almost all other herb seeds have become harder to get. In 60k exp at master farmers I could normally get at least 4-5 ranarr seeds. Now? Nothing. It's highly upsetting. Especially since you get a HELL load of Sweetcorn and Strawberry seeds, which now have decreased a lot in price, and will only continue to do so once people get word at how common they are and they begin to flood the GE. |2,300+ Total|138 Combat|12 Lvl 99 Skills|99 Slayer| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well perhaps you're right, but in all the dozens of times I have thieved master farmers for profit, I've never gone more than 30k without a ranarr seed. It's 43 (or 41, can't remember) exp per steal. That's almost 1,500 steals without a single herb seed other than the 20+ tarromin and 15+ harrolander I got? Seems fishy. I'm not doubting you but I also ask you don't doubt me. I could just as easily say you had extremely good luck. We need people to test this I suppose to really know.

PuppyKing Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 Its a conspiracy. Jagex changes the rates of the seeds, when they want more or less of the seeds flooding the market. :mellow: :thumbup: Blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zaaps1 Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 Suppose it kinda sucks not being able to get what you want, but it's a relatively small trade-off when you consider the better loot you are getting. All in all, I think it's worth it, even if it means inconveniences such as the one you stated. ~It's Super Effective!

Until sweetcorn seeds become so common there's too many of them in the GE and they won't sell even at the small, trivial cost they will drop to. |2,300+ Total|138 Combat|12 Lvl 99 Skills|99 Slayer| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying this, but I'm making a point. We need people to test this. Perhaps when find some time and the urge to grind out seeds I'll go and thieve a couple hundred thousand thieving exp worth of them and see how it turns out. |2,300+ Total|138 Combat|12 Lvl 99 Skills|99 Slayer| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neohero1972 Posted May 1, 2010 Author Share Posted May 1, 2010 Hi From my experience when thieving Master Farmers i have only noticed an improvement in the droprate for sweetcorn seeds and a slight improvement for tomato seeds and the almost total absence of potato seeds. I'm not sure whether or not Jagex have tweaked other seed drops. I think it is worth to mention that: 1. i haven't really grinded Master Farmers that much2. i usually wear a Ring of Wealth Adventurer's Log for Neohero1972 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
