Farming JuJu

[Quest_Done]

hey guys, just wondering, what all levels are needed in order to make a farming juju potion?

[Tnt6200]

64 Herblore.

[Quest_Done]

64 Herblore.

 

thats all? dont you need other requirements just to get the stuff to make the potion?

[Who]

70 Hunter to box trap common Jadinkos for the chance of getting an Ugune seed, and 70 Farming to plant and harvest that seed.

[Gilformen]

you also need 74 hunter to catch igneous jadinkos which drop marble vines, required for the potion itself.

 

just so you know, the process can take a while. i probably spent 4-5 hrs hunting and farming in the habitat to end up with 7 farming pots. i'd rather just spend that time farming.

It only takes a while to get started.

 

Once you can get up one of the two herb seed only jadinkos you can easily get a big horde of seeds built up.

Plus once you have the first pots you can use them when you harvest the herbs to make em which epically increases how many you can make.

Plus spending your time just farming is in no way better. The combined herb,farm and hunter xp of making the pots is far greater than any extra farm xp you'd get by just farming instead; plus they hugely increase profits of herb runs.

 

If you only got 7 pots from 4-5 hours you did it wrong. I mean an average farm patch gives out around 8 - 12 herbs if I'm not mistaken. That means from 1 seed you would get 7+ pots. Then using them pots to harvest the next seeds your looking at like 20 - 30 herbs from a patch when it helps and even if not u still gonna get another 8 - 12 to make more pots

Uhm average yield (when not dieing) is 6.8.

 

With a juju pot it becomes 10ish..

 

 

I only EVER had 20 herbs from a patch, and never more than that.. (And I got all my lvls by farming herblore).

[Quyneax]

My record is 28, but that aside...

 

You need 64 herblore, 70 farming, 74 hunter as said before. Herblore can be boosted by 5 but that's really not worth it as it is such an easy and useful level to get anyway (While Guthix Sleeps quest requires 65 anyway). Farming can be boosted by 3 with a pie, on demand, so you can do that easily. Hunter can be boosted by 3 with a potion, and by 8 with the Ooglog pool, which is a bit out of the way. Overall, I'd recommend at least 70 hunter.

[Sy_Accursed]

I thought average yield with super compost and magic sectaurs was 8 - 12 range, but meh still 6 herbs a patch average means only 7 pots in 4 - 5 hours = doing something wrong.

 

Cause first patch 6 herbs...6 pots

Second patch you'd use 1 pot so have 5 pots left. Then you'd get either 6 or 12 herbs so you'd have 11 or 17 pots

etc.

etc.

You'd only use 1/3rd pot

 

 

That's also why you should ALWAYS use farming potions when farming juju.. Even when farming "1" patch you get on average 2 more potions, yet you only use 1/3rd..

[Sy_Accursed]

Doh! Yeah totally spazzed on juju being 3 doses still.

 

Which makes it even worse if u can only make 7 pots in 4 - 5 hours.

[Gilformen]

i was hunting common jadinkos for herb seeds, since im not high enough for draconic, so even after hunting for hours, i only got one of the herb seeds i needed. thats why it took so long. the drop rate is awful.

[Quyneax]

The drop rate is not bad, 1/5 is a seed and the herb seeds are not uncommon. I personally have more than I need (not that I need much, except for farming). But yeah, you want to use camouflage as the catch rate is terrible. And that camouflage takes a while to get.

[bedman]

It takes an hour or two to get started, but once you got that, it's pretty easy, and it's good hunt xp. I started at 80 hunter though, so I just unlocked all clothes, and then did Draconics for xp, and got seeds on the way. You've got to see it as a whole: hunt xp + juju pots. Otherwise it is indeed not that much worth the time (well, it still might be, but less).

[zotto]

I did 70-80 hunter at herblore habitat and I got about 150 juju farming pots (Not exactly sure how many I used already) out of it, with 5 ugune seeds still in the bank.

 

That said, I spend several levels not hunting something that actually drops herb seeds.

 

I also noticed that once you get to draconic jadinkos it seems a bit easier to get ugune seeds.

 

But honestly, put some time into it. It is well worth it. It makes a difference between little or no profit to HUGE profits. Hunt common jadinkos for a few hours and you are bound to end up with a fair stock of juju farming pots. Sometimes you have a streak of bad luck. Sometimes you get 3 ugune seeds within 10 minutes.

 

This is one of those things you just have to invest time in.

So you have the possibility of getting a seed as well as the withered vine that the common jadinkos drop?

[Quyneax]

Yes, common jadinkos would make you get withered vines as a 100% drop. No two jadinkos drop the same vine however, so if you were hunting draconics, you'd get draconic vines only (like different bone drops). Seeds are secondary drops, like rune chains, meds and adamant javelins.

Should I move on to igneous jadinkos when I have the seeds needed to lure them for more frequent ugune seeds? I'm only 74 hunter.

[Gilformen]

igneous dont drop herb seeds. they only drop marble vines as far as i know.

 

i hunted them for a while til i got 100 vines and they never dropped anything else.

Igneous drop vine bush seeds.

 

As covered higher up the thread u get (on average) about 1 seed per 5 jads caught.

But the seeds depend on the Jad; higher level jads tend to drop better seeds.

Plus what seeds each jad drops vary.

Common, Shadow, Diseased and Camouflaged drop all seed types (vine flower, vine bush, herb and tree)

Igneous and Cannibal drop only bush seeds.

Aquatic only drop flower seeds.

Amphibious drop only tree seeds

Carrion and Draconic drop only herbs (these r obv the golden two if u do it purely for making pots)
