Aiel Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 small sample size. DK drops (solo/LS): 66 hatchets, 14 archer rings, 13 berserker rings, 17 warrior rings, 12 seerculls, 13 mud staves, 7 seers ringsQBD drops: 1 kite, 2 visages, 4 dragonbone kits, 3 effigies, lots of crossbow partsCR vs. CLS threads always turn into discussions about penis size....It's not called a Compensation Longsword for nothing.I've sent a 12k combat mission to have Aiel assassinated (poor bastard isn't even Pincers-tier difficulty).

Vulxai Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Bad luck. Can't really use one run as a sample, you need a rather large sample size. ~ Proud Father ~ Proud (Currently Deployed) Army National Guardsmen ~ Proud Lakota ~ Retired Tip.It Crew ~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Autist Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 I've had 3 dead ones before too. Make sure you use supercompost. Get juju-farming pot and scroll of life. Keep farming :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quyneax Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 If you are using supercompost & magic secateurs, you're unlucky. If you don't, you need to get them (you may still be unlucky).

Zaaps1 Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 You aren't using supercompost or magic secateurs. The minimum herb yield is 3. With both of those factors, it is 5. Get them. Use them. You won't regret it. Great part: Supercompost helps prevent disease as well. ~It's Super Effective!

Wkw Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Supercompost reduces the chance of disease by 30%. By far enough that I need not check in on them if they are diseased.Doing all 5 patches with snapdragons, magic clippers, and super compost is always going to profit you. Even more if you use scroll of life. Runescape player since 2005 Ego Sum Deus Quo Malum Caligo et Barathum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golvellius Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Sounds normal to me. You aren't using supercompost or magic secateurs. The minimum herb yield is 3. With both of those factors, it is 5. Get them. Use them. You won't regret it. Great part: Supercompost helps prevent disease as well.3 is the minimum with both those things.Although, over 5 patches I can usually score at least 20 herbs.

Quyneax Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 3 is the minimum without boosts, with compost and secateurs, it's 5. If Golv meant to say it isn't, he's wrong.

aspeeder Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 It should also be noted that herb yields/deaths are not affected by your farming level as your OP seems to imply; just use supercompost/magic secs and get scroll of life/juju farming pots asap and you'll do fine. http://i700.photobucket.com/albums/ww6/aspeeder/Siggy_zpsewaiux2t.png 99 Strength since 6/02/10 99 Attack since 9/19/10 99 Constitution since 10/03/10 99 Defense since 3/14/11 99 Slayer since 8/30/11 99 Summoning since 9/10/11 99 Ranged since 09/18/11 99 Magic since 11/12/11 99 Prayer since 11/15/11 99 Herblore since 3/29/12 99 Firemaking since 5/15/12 99 Smithing since 10/04/12 99 Crafting since 9/16/13 99 Agility since 9/23/13 99 Dungeoneering since 1/1/14 99 Fishing since 2/4/14 99 Mining since 2/28/14 99 Farming since 6/04/14 99 Cooking since 6/11/14 99 Runecrafting since 10/10/14 9 Fletching since 11/11/14 99 Thieving since 11/14/14 99 Woodcutting since 11/20/14 99 Construction since 12/03/14 99 Divination since 2/22/15 99 Hunter since 2/23/15 99 Invention since 01/20/17 99 Archaeology since 5/14/22Quest Point Cape since 08/20/09 Maxed since 2/23/15 Fire Cape since 02/27/13 Slayer: 3 Leaf-Bladed Swords, 8 Black Masks, 2 Hexcrests, 26 Granite Mauls, 5 Focus Sights, 32 Abyssal Whips, 9 Dark Bows, 1 Whip Vine, 3 Staffs of Light, 15 Polypore Sticks Dragon: 9 Draconic Visages, 7 Shield Left Halves, 20 Dragon Boots, 40 Dragon Med Helms, 8 Dragon Platelegs, 6 Dragon Spears, 20 Dragon Daggers, 5 Dragon Plateskirts, 1 Dragon Chainbody, 63 Off-hand Dragon Throwing Axes, 19 Dragon Longswords, 27 Dragon Maces, 1 Dragon Ward Treasure Trails: Saradomin Full Helm, Ranger Boots, Rune Body (t), Saradomin Vambraces, Various God Pages Misc:1 Onyx,1 Ahrim's Hood, 1 Guthan's Chainskirt, 1 Demon Slayer Boots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the objectives system was still around, you could set your farming level to any level that didn't give immediate rewards (like level 83 = spirit tree, etc.). It would tell you that higher farming levels either got better harvests or less deaths. (I forget which of the two it is.) Of course, that doesn't at all mean it's correct, by any means. But in my mind, it certainly does cast a little doubt. I do feel like on the road to 99 farming, my yields have steadily gotten better, but of course that's horribly un-scientific, so take it with a grain of salt. ~It's Super Effective!

zotto Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Maybe you forgot to add supercompost. And you forgot that you didn't. I do that sometimes. Or not equip the magic secateurs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Th e Doctor Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 If you start the harvest and get one herb it doesn't matter if you equip the secatures later, over 1000 seeds farmed before I got my scroll of life and jujus and I've never had less than 5 except when I forgot super compost or to have my secatures equipped from the very first pick.

zoth01 Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 i did 50-90 farming 90% by herbs, and i can confirm, you can't get less than 5 with supercompost and magic secateurs, no matter what seed you are planting/what farming lvl you got. About the farming lvl affecting, i did some research with player's farming logs, and i had alot of troubles finding any significant relation between the lvl and the amount of dead seeds/ herbs per seeds rate. At most, i found out that (once again, this could be simply a coincidence) that some seeds generally yield a bigger harvest than others, problem is that the example i took showed 5k snaps vs 200 kwuarms, so that's why i think it doesn't prove anything :???: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
