Jesus_Status Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 When ever I do my herb runs I always plant the Port Phasmatys herb patch first, recently it's been taking longer then the 75 minutes it is supposed to take. I planted at the Port Phasmatys herb patch over an hour and a half ago (90 minutes), and it still is in its last stages of growing. Yet my Falador patch which I planted second is fully grown...how does this make sense?...can somebody please tell me what is going on. This isn't the first time it's happened.

VonMedo Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 They take 75+ minutes to grow,not 75,so you can expect atleast 75 minutes for growing,but no less Mamiću odlazi! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blakdragon39 Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 If the herb gets diseased and recovers, it'll take another farming 'tick' to grow. That's where the extra time comes from I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D Jay99 Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 Also logging out or in seems to reset growth cycles (trees being done way faster when you plant them in the evening than in the morning, herbs not growing when you log back in every 10 minutes to check, etc. no conclusive evidence though but that can be it).

It doesn't reset the growth cycle, it resets the growth cycle's substage. But that doesn't apply here since one of the patches grew while the other didn't. ~It's Super Effective!

aspeeder Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 If the herb gets diseased and recovers, it'll take another farming 'tick' to grow. That's where the extra time comes from I believe.I think you're confusing herbs with different patches that can be protected by a farmer, since herbs can't be watched over if they get diseased then they die. http://i700.photobucket.com/albums/ww6/aspeeder/Siggy_zpsewaiux2t.png 99 Strength since 6/02/10 99 Attack since 9/19/10 99 Constitution since 10/03/10 99 Defense since 3/14/11 99 Slayer since 8/30/11 99 Summoning since 9/10/11 99 Ranged since 09/18/11 99 Magic since 11/12/11 99 Prayer since 11/15/11 99 Herblore since 3/29/12 99 Firemaking since 5/15/12 99 Smithing since 10/04/12 99 Crafting since 9/16/13 99 Agility since 9/23/13 99 Dungeoneering since 1/1/14 99 Fishing since 2/4/14 99 Mining since 2/28/14 99 Farming since 6/04/14 99 Cooking since 6/11/14 99 Runecrafting since 10/10/14 9 Fletching since 11/11/14 99 Thieving since 11/14/14 99 Woodcutting since 11/20/14 99 Construction since 12/03/14 99 Divination since 2/22/15 99 Hunter since 2/23/15 99 Invention since 01/20/17 99 Archaeology since 5/14/22Quest Point Cape since 08/20/09 Maxed since 2/23/15 Fire Cape since 02/27/13 Slayer: 3 Leaf-Bladed Swords, 8 Black Masks, 2 Hexcrests, 26 Granite Mauls, 5 Focus Sights, 32 Abyssal Whips, 9 Dark Bows, 1 Whip Vine, 3 Staffs of Light, 15 Polypore Sticks Dragon: 9 Draconic Visages, 7 Shield Left Halves, 20 Dragon Boots, 40 Dragon Med Helms, 8 Dragon Platelegs, 6 Dragon Spears, 20 Dragon Daggers, 5 Dragon Plateskirts, 1 Dragon Chainbody, 63 Off-hand Dragon Throwing Axes, 19 Dragon Longswords, 27 Dragon Maces, 1 Dragon Ward Treasure Trails: Saradomin Full Helm, Ranger Boots, Rune Body (t), Saradomin Vambraces, Various God Pages Misc:1 Onyx,1 Ahrim's Hood, 1 Guthan's Chainskirt, 1 Demon Slayer Boots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaphias Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 I always just used 90 mins for my farming, seems like they were done 95% of the time. 8,325th to 99 Firemaking 3/9/08 | 44,811th to 99 Cooking 7/16/084,968th to 99 Farming 10/9/09 | Runescaper August 2005-March 2010Tip.it Mod Feb. 2008-Sep. 2008 | Tip.it Crew Sep. 2008-Nov. 2009 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet my Falador patch which I planted second is fully grown...how does this make sense?...can somebody please tell me what is going on. This isn't the first time it's happened. There is an odd randomness that occurs with farming that you are describing. I have always noticed it more with fruit trees. For some reason, the fruit tree patch in the Gnome Stronghold seems to me to consistently grow faster than any other patch. Also, sometimes trees would take closer to 24 hours to grow sometimes and others more like 13-14 hours. All without any noticeable (to me, at least) rhyme or reason, just as you're seeing. Every time I'd ask a question about this I would get the same sort of responses that you're seeing now that don't quite ring true. I'm not reallky providing you any answer, either. Just wanted you to know that what you're seeing aren't that uncommon. Niccosdad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
