Note: Profit and/or best exp/hour doesn't concern me.

 

 

 

For farming, what is a decent way to level it without having to watch a clock? Like, are there semi-efficient ways that I can farm and pay the farmer just in case I don't get on for a day or two? I live a busy life with a busy, always changing schedule. Because of this, I'm not so fluent in Farming and what I can do in it.

 

What would you guys recommend?

1. Plant some trees

2. Wait until tomorrow

3. Check the trees

4. ???

5. PROFIT!

 

Or not profit actually, you'll end up losing money.

Trees and fruit trees are great in a situation such as yours. They can be paid to be taken care of by the farmer, and the fruit trees are 14.6hrs to grow minimum, whereas the time for a wood bearing tree to grow varies with the type of tree. The farming skill guide:

shows these times. As you increase in level there are also "special crops" which take some time to grow, and can be monitored by the farmer. Allotments can be monitored, but I personally don't feel they are worthy. You could always throw some in along with flowers and herbs just for the extra experience when you log in, or stick to the previous method explained. Once a plant is grown it can't die so it's not so much about watching the clock. :mrgreen:

Thank you guys.

 

 

Getting married, working, summa school, regular school, family, friends and bears oh my! I play RuneScape in my free time, which I get a couple of hours here and there, but nothing consistent.

I just do penguins every week, takes like 20 minutes for 15k worth of exp. Then just spend about 10 minutes and plant 5 curry trees, the seed cost like 3k each. You get about 25kish worth of exp for 30 minutes of work. :mrgreen:

Of course farming is already much more than 25k xp for 30 minutes of work. If planting magics, palms, calquat, and poison ivies, you're looking at over 100k XP in the same time.

 

I think penguin points are better used to something that costs you more to train or something you don't enjoy, like herblore or agility.
