Farming A Useless Skill?


Zoladex

Recommended Posts

Many people say its not worth getting ur farming lvl up, takes too long for too little sort of thing.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What do you all think, what do u farm and whats the profit!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Mines only 3 so not worth saying what i get.

It helps herblore alot, and if your already high herblore you can make heaps from selling the good potions.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

445(4) super attacks and 208 (4) super restores all from farming, very not worthless

 

 

 

:D how many herbs per seed do you average?

i'm getting from 3 to 8 a seed. and not using super compost :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

well farming is nice skill combined with herblore, otherwise it's pretty useless

1500+ total 89 cmb; 1600+ total and under 93 cmb.

02/04/07 reached all skills 60+ under lvl 90 cmb.

07/19/07 reached all skills 70+ at lvl 93 cmb.

Farming is far from worthless. Using 11 ranarr seeds I was able to get 116 prayer pots which I am using at Barrows. 17m profit made and they're not even half gone.

Well to namke but a single thing: Herbs

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What item do all herblorists want/need: herbs

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What item can only be got otherwise via combat and even then high lvl ones are hard to get: herbs

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

aka anything from about rannar upwards has a big demand amoung herblorists. Around 90% of time farming herbs produces 10 - 15 herbs

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If you farm all 4 patches as say rannars u'll get about 40 - 60 rannars

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

people can pay up to 2k for rannars from what i seen thts around 80k - 120k for 1 load of herbs whihc take 30mins to grow.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

to make tht from herbs via combat is even costly

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Pl;us factor in limps, tree roots etc and u are basically rolling in it

I'd love to buy every ranaar you grow for 2k each :lol:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

they sell for more like 5-6k to be honest

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

But I dont think anyone yeilds an average of 10-15 each harvest , nor any harvest at all

I like to fart silently but deadly in movie theaters

I have talked to alot of farmers and they mostly list off harvests of in the 8 - 12 range, but for simplicties sake i rounded a bit

Probably depends on levels and luck. I was lucky to ever get 8 from one harvest, herb wise. Usually averaged about 6, I'd say.

At 67 farming, using super compost, Id say the average is about 8.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sure you do get insane amounts of herbs in some patches, but that balances up with your herbs dying every so often. And no I never use nature ammy or "check on" my plants to see if they're diseased.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Tough love its called. :wink:

average is about 8, but you can et as low as 4 herbs per pickin, and as high as 14 with high level herby and super compost...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

farming is also a great way to get sweetcorns (duh... how else) for the tuna tater in my other thread (22hp - 1bite)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

useless? not completely

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

i planted a pineapple tree in brimhaven, so everytime i go there i have a full invent of pineapples for super compost and pineapple pizzas (altho, those are now a bit obsolete)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Farming is also a great way to get magic xp while alching and teleporting all over the place

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

hell, for the fun of it, i even started to brew some hops for the not-often-used beverages like chefs delight (+3 cooking) or apple cider (+1 farming) or greenmans ale (+1 herblore) or even slayers respite (+1 slayer)

I enjoy it just cause i like it (no apparent reason,i just do). Only problem i have is that i run out of seeds quickly (the ones im planting) and it sucks getting corn, strawberry, tomatoes, and watermellons.

Yes, farming is worthless because it takes a long time to raise and the only good things that come from it are at high levels. Btw I bet runecrafting, herblore, and slayer are worthless as well, right? :roll:

useless, lmao!!! i grow herbs all day long and sell. and it gets u up total lvl, thats how im past all my lvl 90 friends in total, cus i farm

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You have friends who are level 90 with skill totals in the 1100s? o_O

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Farming is my worst skill, simply because I find it annoying teleporting around and farming patches, and obviously because it's the newest skill. But it's far from useless, as many people have already pointed out, buying herb seeds and growing them will overall save you money as opposed to if you had just bought the herbs.

Its my worst skill because I stopped growing Ranarrs when I got 45 herblore. However, now that it goes hand in hand with cooking, Im going to have to start off again.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It's very profitable and very useful. People just complain because they can't buy it as fast as possible. It's a skill you actually have to work for.

Well my avergge yield is taken from what my friends have told me of what they get, when I ask them bout it cause they constanly try to buy all my herb seeds

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As for rannar prices I said that as as minmum as I have never really traded in rannars and my only major exposure to them has been my merchanting friend trying to make a quick sale using his 'friend' prices where he offered at 2k each (shame I had no money then)

runecrafting: death runes (blood later)

 

 

 

slayer: gran maul, whip, armoured boots, mistic.

 

 

 

herblore: high lvl pots...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

fire making is more useless...
