Farming Boost


Monk

Recommended Posts

I'm wanting to plant mage trees for the bonus xp weekend and I was wondering if there is there any way to boost from 71 to 75 farming?

I really would recommend getting the level though. Its 1, maybe 2 tree runs and you would save a lot of time in not having to gather spices, make the stews, and hope for a +4 boost (which isn't rare, just not necessarily common), when you could be training a skill or making money.

A stranger plant will boost you by 4 at your level.

 

I was looking at that but at 71, I'd get the +1 level and 4% boost after that.

 

(71+1) * .04 = 74.88

 

Would that .88 round up or down?

one thing about the stranger plant...

 

 

you can not boost or reboost if you're already boosted. by this i mean, if you boost four levels and then it reduces by one, you'll have to wait till you return to your normal level to boost again. this could be inconvenient if you're trying to do things rapidly

Yep. The only reason to ever use the stranger plant is for when you can boost 4. A good way of maximizing your boost time is to boost some other stat (maybe take a quick sip of combat potion or use an EE spec) and then wait for it to drop by 1. If you boost then you'll be able to get the most out of the stranger plant time.

 

And then there's that logging in and out silliness that allows you to have an infinite boost, but that's another story :rolleyes:

You'd also need the boost to check health/recieve the xp (I'm not sure which requires the level) which would be a hassle.

No, You dont need to boost for checking health or picking herbs.

The only thing you need to boost for is planting (trees/herbs) and for getting xp while picking herbs higher then your level.

Been using this method for spirit trees and Torstol - if you have a big pies stock it is not a big hassle at all.

Only for herb picking xp? Well that's just weird. Thanks for telling.

I'm quite sure I didn't get xp for checking the health of my spirit tree.

You don't need the boost when you check, but you don't get xp if you're under the required level.

just checked all major guides and didn't see any evidence to back up your statement .

Not that i am completly sure i am right about this issue either, but i believe i saw those 20k added last time i checked-health my spirit tree.

 

Lets take herbs, if you are under level (like i am right now with Torstols) you get the following message:

I would expect similar message to appear when checking health on trees when i am under the required level.

 

Anyway,I am going to sent this question to Jagex - hopefully they'll answer before the weekend.

Eh, I wouldn't quote me on that. I'm trying to find the source for it now to double-check and I can't seem to locate it on the RS website. :???:

 

Quite frankly I wouldn't want to test it even if I didn't already have the level to plant all the trees.

It appears i was right after all

That mod was wrong. You still need the boost to plant the tree in the patch. I would know because I spent a lot of time getting spices to plant my spirit tree yesterday. I needed the boost to put the seed in a pot, and I needed the boost AGAIN to transfer the seedling from the pot to the spirit patch. If you need proof I have pics on the pic/screenies thread. The pics are only of me trying to get spices, which proves I acutally know what I'm talking about :rolleyes: If you look at my pic I have 2 spirit seedlings in my inventory, yet I'm still trying to get spices to stew. That's because I tried planting the seedlings but I needed 83 farm to plant them.

 

Anyways, what I would like to know is do you get the xp from checking the tree w/o the boost?

Ye, you are right, he was wrong about the transfer-to-patch part.

I still think he was right about the check-health part.

I posted another thread about it on the RSOF, hopefully we get a more accurate answer about this issue this time.

If we dont, i am not gonna take any chances tomorrow and will stuff myself with pies before checking my spirit tree.

I realize I am late to the party... I see no one mentioned cider(m). If you could somehow get to 72, it would be enough to boost you to 75.
