farming - snapdragon

Recommended Posts

I farm snapdragons. Here's why.

 

I have scroll of life. That instantly eliminates any cheap seeds, since more expensive seeds will always outperform them. That leaves me with only snaps and torstols.

 

Torstols are cool. They're probably statistically better than snapdragons. However, unlike snapdragons, the market for them is much smaller. Whereas I can typically sell all my snapdragons instantly at a decent price, and buy the seeds instantly at a decent price, that's rarely the case for torstols, where you must wait to buy seeds for a while, even at max, and wait some time for herbs to sell, even at minimum. That's time that you CAN'T spend doing herb runs if you farm the way I do (buy a load of seeds, farm all into herbs, sell herbs, buy more seeds, making it a closed cycle), whereas you could farm during that time if you used snaps. That easily justifies the use of snaps over torstols, imo.

 

Also, since I have 99 farming, I care little about the xp the herbs give. While not everyone is 99 farming, those who do not care about their farming level are on the same boat, more or less.

By the way, look at my sig. See the farm logo? It says 70. I know what I'm doing.

 

Erm... you might not have meant it to be, but this is kinda funny...

 

OT: Snaps do not only make more profit, but are also much more fun to farm. Nothing is as good as a 44 snap + 2 seeds harvest (except torstol, more herbs, more seeds etc.). I'd rather have 50-450k per run than a level 200k.
