20-May-2013: Harvest Heaven

[Scherzo]

Just to have a number to put in, though small. Going from level 87 to 88 in hunter at jadinkos (that'd be about 400k xp) I had 8 grapevine seeds, or a seed every 15 minutes.

I have no idea if this is unnaturally high or low, but at this rate, going from 80-99 at jadinkos would be about 220 seeds.

 

Considering this is the fastest way to train hunter, I guess there will be some seeds coming in here, though I have to agree with the rest that it's hard to predict how easy it'll be to get the new brews, or if it'll be places where they are worth using.

Probably another endurance test like the kiln.

how do reed beds work? Is it just like a private hunter area or do you "harvest" toads and sallys making it a fast way to get summoning supplies?

It was never going to be 'fast' compared to the direct methods.

Harvest a Reed Bed yields about 5 toad egg sacs, 2 swamp lizards and 20 swamp tar.

Egg sacs = 15 swamp toads when opened, so 75 toads.

1hr 20 grow time roughly.

 

So maybe better source of toads just about, not sure on collection rates but 300 in 1hr 20 seems about the max I'd expect for uber efficient levels of focus. (300 as 75*4 for 4 hops patches)

Swamp lizards and swamp tar are just plain awful. 80 Tar in 1hr 20 is easily doable by normal means and 8 lizards is definitely doable.

Catch rates on swamp toads?

I forget they are just items that spawn, you'd of thought Jagex would've changed tht by now.

 

Collection rates.
