Farming Runs

[LitterBug]

Hey, for most of RS - I have been farming only herb/bush patches

 

However, I decided that it's too slow and why not train farming a little faster?

I want to incorporate tree/fruit runs into my daily farming so I'm asking for a bit of advice.

 

What is a decent path to take?

I have access to lunar magick and I will be using tele tablets if it's more efficient

Otherwise - I can stick to normal.

^I can obviously buy any teleport item (jewlery, etc)

 

Thanks for the help guys

 

Additionally - is there anything else I should be doing?

My plan so far is just to supercompost the trees and wield a magic secateur and have a hatchet in my inventory.

I will be farming yew + papaya trees for now (if it turns out that I can't afford the yews - I would switch to maple but I don't think this will be the case)

 

As an additional consideration - I will be planting spirit trees as soon as I can.

Does anybody have any advice on where to plant them?

I want to set up a very efficient traveling system - I will be more then willing to move my POH to wherever is needed and I will be setting up rooms for teleports/glories.

Do Love Story ASAP so you can use house teletabs, that way you don't need to worry about where your house is. Personally, for fruit trees, I do Catherby tele, elf crystal, duelling to mobilising armies to spirit tree to gnome stronghold, then spirit tree again to gnome village and use the guide to get out of the maze, then brimhaven teletab and run north.

 

You could use a spirit tree in brimhaven, but it's faster to use a teletab. Spirit trees should just be used for exp, so it doesn't really matter where you plant them. They are outclassed by other transportation methods at every location

 

Also, brimhaven teletab then run south to plant calquat.

 

I don't plan trees, so I'm afraid I can't help you there

Don't forget about the herblore habitat fruit tree patch ;)

You should do tree and fruit tree runs seperately too, since you can do tree runs much much more often

 

For trees, teleports aren't especilly convenient, so you'll be pretty much stuck with:

 

Varrock tele -> Varrock castle patch

Fally tele -> Falador garden patch

Lumbridge tele -> Lumbridge castle patch

Duel ring to MA -> Spirit tre to Gnome strong -> Gnome stronghold patch

 

When you know you can do both runs at once (like when you've been offline for a fair while/in the morning), its fairly easy to add in the tree run to the fruit run, with your teleport to gnome stronghold covering both a fruit tree and a tree. I tended to just get the gardener at the patch to cut down my normal trees, its much quicker and wont clog your inventory with logs.

So a small stack of coins (a few k) should be added

What is a great quest to do for teleports is Love Story, which lets you chip house teletabs to teleport to all the different house portals. No more moving your POH.

 

In my bank I have: A stack of house teletabs, a stack of each regular teletab, around thirty of each type of dragonstone jewelry, rings of dualing, games necklaces and slayer rings, and lastly my ectophial and explorers ring.

 

Now this gives me a total of.. well I won't count, but it's over thirty teleport locations. And this is regardless of the spellbook I am on. Now I realize it's a significant investment but really, the luxery of travel to wherever I want regardless or my spellbook is priceless.

 

Edit: Slayer rings are really important because the Rellkala (sp?) teleport puts you right next to a ring. Likewise the mobilising armies teleport from the ring of dueling puts you right at the spirit tree network.

if the gardener cuts your trees - do you get the exp for it?

I think I'm going to go on lunar for the herb runs and just bring tele tabs for everything else

 

Is it actually true that spirit tree's aren't useful?

I always thought it was a pain having to go to al kharid to the gnome glider or to yanille and running north west.

What's the closest place to a spirit tree?

I believe it is Draynor.

I believe it is Draynor.

 

I didn't know I could plant a tree in Draynor?

Where exactly is it?

[JPMC Mate]

It is near the docks south of the stile of the cabbage patch.

To clarify, this is a Spirit tree patch and not a regular/Fruit tree patch.
