99 Farming While Runecrafting

[xxtheonexx2]

Hello, I have began the process of working on 99 runecrafting but got to thinking: why not be efficient with my skills and do farming while runecrafting. I figured that i would still be making profits or atleast break even while I runecrafted while I farmed. But I need help trying to figure out the best method of what to farm.

 

I have 93 runecrafting and 81 farming.

 

Unless someone convinces me otherwise, I will only plant trees and fruit trees, while not farming herbs because it will take away time that i could be runecrafting and making money that way.

 

I have began by purchasing maple seeds, palm seeds, and calquat seeds to reduce the cost of farming but would it be better to save time and spend more money by planting yew trees instead of maples. Wouldn't this allow me to reach 99 farming quicker therfore I could get back to purely runecrafting to earn the extra money back?

 

Any tips and advise will greatly be appreciated! Thanks.

An herb run makes more profit per unit time than any method of runecrafting. Unless you are making 2-4m an hour somewhere else, the time used for herb runs is always worth it. Plant high-profit seeds only.

 

Trees: use calquat and spirit trees to cheaply boost the experience you're buying. Spirit trees can be obtained by setting your kingdom workers to collect maples. The choice between papaya and palm, maple and yew has to be made individually. Using med prices (and paying to protect fruit trees but only supercomposting regulars) here are some gp/exp values:

 

Maples (11 gp per exp) vs. Yews (13 gp per exp)

Papaya (being merched atm; 7.5 gp/exp baseline) vs. Palm (11 gp/exp)

 

Judging from the above I would go with Yews and Papayas (after they crash). Regular trees are more expensive because they can be planted more frequently than fruit trees. If you are patient and want to save time and money, just do 1 farming tree run a day.
