Madouge Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 I've been out of herb farming for a while and I'd like to get back into it, what are the most profitable herbs to farm nowadays? Is it still Snapdragons, Kwuarms and Rannars? Click the pic if you wanna see a Ranged Slayer blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Synthox Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 Looks like I best get dungeoneeringingNow it goes in this order:SnapdragonAvantoe (slightly more profit than ranarr, i believe, although it is really close)Ranarr I hope this helps. TT rewards: 2 ranger boots, Zamorak page 1 (2x), Guthix page 1, Ancient page 2 You must construct additional oak larders doors... I mean pylons Barrows: 10. Total value~22.3 mil.

geesch Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 Avantoe is where its at. They are cheap with great profit margins. I don't do dungeoneering, so snaps are out of the question. Wergs suck now, ranarr might be ok, but the seeds are pretty expensive, so they require a lot of initial investment. Each failed crop is also more devastating as opposed to a cheap seed like avantoe. Having a scroll of life would change this evaluation, though. Just remember, just because the seed and herb is expensive doesnt necessarily mean its the most profitable. It's a common misconception.

Quyneax Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 Not neccesarily, but snapdragon beats avantoe for having the same or more profit (even without scroll of life) and a lot more xp. Torstol is best. Those are the most expensive seeds (and herbs).

geesch Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 Torstol seeds are almost 190k each, and the herbs are 30k ish. Which means you need more than 6 herbs per patch to break even. Regardless, I dont think the op can grow torstols. I grow torstols personally, but avantoes are still a very good option for just about anyone looking to profit. Snaps/torstols are higher risk, but have the ability to yield a high reward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snaps/torstols are higher risk, but have the ability to yield a high reward.I get that you would talk about risk of investment when you do corp or something, because you can spend hours upon hours without any worthwhile drop, while investing a lot. Farming herbs however, has a laughable investment risk. "Oh noes, 2 torstol seeds died this round". Well, no worries, because other rounds you can get lucky and make 500k+ in one round. It's not like you get 10 bad farming trips in a row. Sure, it sucks when they die, but the great profits at lucky runs MORE than make up for it. In the long run they are undeniable the BEST profit (and xp). A Guide to Chinning in Ape atoll: up to 325kxp/h! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
