Answered Livid farm tips and tricks

[Samaster]

Hello all,

Fast is the time approaching where I will become livid with farming....

I am going to be doing livid farm fairly soon and with the ninja update of key binds curing plants, I wondered if anyone had any useful tips or tricks to make this ordeal pass a tad faster?

Thanks

Basically, they earlier nerfed the ability to quick hop between worlds where the farm would be out of sync, so one could quick hop between worlds and get points twice as fast. I think this is no longer possible, but might give it a shot anyway.

 

Now with keybinding available, it is quite easy to do. Remember that the livid plants are always the same rotation:

If you have the BXP gear, use them. They exp gained are affected by BXP and thus also the gear. Artistan, farming and construction gear all apply.

 

If the QH world method doesn't work, try to do something in the meantime like fletching broad arrows/bolts or high alching slayer stuff or whatever you can do while stationary ;)!.

 

EDIT: I found some confirmation that the QH world method indeed no longer works.

Ah damn! Should have done it earlier.

 

So is the estimated time for completion still around 51 hours?

Indeed, the Quickhop method was utterly nixed a while ago. A shame in a sense considering how easy it has become to hop worlds, finally.

 

Your estimate for completion time sounds pretty much accurate if aiming to complete it as fast as possible. I actually found some nice data on a page of Sal's Realm to calculate xp and such for various methods. It's been updated only a few days ago so I would imagine that the numbers are trustworthy. You can have a look here if you'd like :).

 

Edit: well to be more precise, you can move onto the more "click-intensive" method which would probably be easier with the addition of keybinds, and cut off a few hours.

Ah cool. Thanks guys and girls :)
