Barrows armour and farming questions

[ishepp]

Two questions. I'm got members last week, and I got a couple of questions.

 

 

 

1) barrows armour needs repairing after 15 hours. Is this 15 hours of wearing it, or 15 hours of wearing it in combat. i.e. does the time go when you're wearing it but not fighting?

 

 

 

2) Haven't started farming, but I want to know this: Do your crops only grow when you are logged on, or do they keep going when you logged out?

 

 

 

Thanks in advance for answering.

1st question, id like to know the answer too.

 

 

 

2nd - They grow even when you are logged out.

1 Barrows only degrades when fighting. So when you're wearing it, say, while fletching, it will NOT degrade. Fighting includes ranging or maging from a safe spot. So if you are shooting without getting hit, your armor will still degrade.

 

 

 

2 Crops will grow if you are logged out, so planting crops before you go do something else is a great idea. Just pay the farmers to watch them so they wont die.
