{1.0} Introduction to this Guide.

I love Farming. I really do. I find so many people who struggle and hate the skill. I was thinking of writing a guide to leveling, but Dr Toxic beat me to it. Instead, I've written a guide giving you detailed info about where to find EVERY single patch in RuneScape, as well as many ways of getting there. I've also written a little about each patch and how it works. Pics will be included and I hope you find this guide very handy. Well, here it is.

A Guide to EVERY Farming Patch in RuneScape.

{2.0} Allotments, flowers and herbs.

Allotments are one of the most widely used Farming patches in RuneScape. Many different fruits and vegies are grown here. Kah bah gees, strawberries, corn, watermelon and the list goes on. There are a grand total of 4 Allotment patches in RuneScape and all are relatively close to a bank. Allotment patches also come bundled with herbs and flower patches, both quite useful as well.

Allotment 1: Draynor.

This allotment is used by many farmers. Easy access and close to not 1, but 2 banks!

There are many ways to reach this patch.

A) Glory to Draynor and walk north to patch.

B) Home Port or Lumbridge tele and walk west from Lumbridge to patch.

C) Falador tele and walk south to patch.

D) If your house is in Rimmington, use House Tele and walk from Rimmington.

E) Use Fairy Ring to get to Zanaris then walk from Zanaris, through swamp to Draynor then north to patch. (Need to start Fairy Tale pt 2.)

F) Catch a boat to Port Sarim and walk north.

I highly recommend A). This is closest and as long as you have a charged glory your fine. B), C) and D) are all fine to use, they are easier to get to as you can get free laws through W66 Law Co. (or craft your own). E) Is a stupid way, but its a way to get there, just very slow. F) is ok if your low on laws, you can't use home port because of timing and you don't have a glory AND your near Tzhaar. Hey, it might happen! :lol:

Allotment 2: Port Phasmatys.

This allotment is not as widely used as Draynor, but for hardcore farmers or those who want maximum harvests, grab your ectophial and head over. This one isn't as close to a bank as Draynor, so if you have big harvests, expect a little time cut out here. On the plus side, there is a waterpump VERY close to the patch so I recommend you refill your watering cans here!

There are a few ways to get here.

A) Use Ectophial then walk west. (Ghosts Ahoy required.)

B) There is a fairy ring in the Haunted Woods. Sadly, it is one way so it won't work.

C) Walk from Canifis.

D) Use Kharyll Tele (Need confirmation, is that the Canifis pub tele?) and then walk west from Canifis.

Use A). Use this always. If you haven't completed DT or Ghosts Ahoy, you'll have to walk from Varrock to Canifis then walk west from Canifis (method C)) If you've done DT, then use route D) As its a quick access to Canifis.

Allotment 3: Catherby

Move over fishers! This is a prime Farming patch. It is close to a bank, easy to get to and no quests required! What a patch!

There are easy ways to get here, cheap and easy.

A) Camelot Tele and walk south.

B) Gnome Glider to "Sindarpos" (White Wolf Mt) and walk south to Catherby. (Requires Grand Tree completed.)

C) Come from Taverley and go under White Wolf Mt using underground passage. (Requires Fishing Contest) then walk south, right into the patch.

D) Walk over White Wolf Mt from Taverley to Catherby.

E) Walk from Ardougne. :ohnoes:

I recommend A) and B). They are both quite quick. You do require the Grand Tree complete for B) though. For those on a tight budget, use C), this goes under White Wolf Mt, skipping an annoying trek. The passage leads right up and just north of the patch so it is recommended as well. I don't recommend D), do Fishing Contest, easy quest. E), I don't know why I listed it but it is a way to get there, just slow.

Allotment 4: Ardougne

Our final allotment. This one is fairly annoying to get to. It is also fairly close to a bank. Sadly, most forms of transport required to get near the patch requires quests.

A) Ardougne Tele and walk to the north bank, then north out of Ardougne. (Requires Plague City completed?)

B) Gnome glider to Gnome Stronghold then walk from Stronghold to patch. (Requires Grand Tree)

C) Get boat from Brimhaven to Ardougne to walk through city and out to patch.

D) Walk from Seers.

E) Dial up BLR on Fairy Rings then walk west to patch.

A) and E) are probably the fastest. B) is also good if you've done the quest. C) is not recommended and D) is only if your in Seers and have no tele.

EXTRA: Herb Patch.

This is a newish herb patch released with the quest "My Arm's Big Adventure" Herbs planted in this patch will NEVER die! No bank nearby sadly.

A) Trollheim tele and walk into the stronghold.

B) Walk from Burthrope (remember Climbing boots!)

A) is recommended. You earn the tele off Eadgar's Ruse quest and since that quest is required to do My Arm's Big Adventure, that is the best way to get here. Otherwise, walk from Burthrope using B). Could take a while...

{3.0} Trees.

Trees are a favourite with Farmers. Not only are they great xp when you check their health, they are your own personal tree. It grows back like any other tree AND it cannot be used by others. Just yourself!

There are currently a nice 5 tree patches.

Tree Patch 1: Lumbridge

A tree patch fairly close to a bank and easy to get to!

A) Home port or Lumby tele, walk out of courtyard and around to patch.

B) Use Gnome Glide to "Kar Hewo" (sp?), walk through gate then across bridge to Lumbridge.

C) Walk east from Draynor.

D) Leave Zanaris and walk north from Shack.

I highly recommend A). You can use your home port or a Lumbridge tele. B) is ok if your near a glider spot and don't want to waste a tele. C) is only if you don't have a tele and D) likewise. You could check the allotment in Draynor, bank, then walk east.

Tree Patch 2: Varrock Castle

This one is fairly close to a bank. Also easy to get to.

A) Varrock tele and walk north. Voila!

B) Use Spirit tree to teleport to Varrock woods near Wildy and then walk south.

C) Use Balloon from Enlightened Journey quest. Walk west from Lumber Yard.

D) Walk north from Lumbridge.

E) Walk east from Falador.

A) is perfect, very close to tree patch. B) and C) are good alternatives but both can be tough to be near spot where balloon/glider leaves from. D) and E) are slow but they work if you low on laws.

Tree Patch 3: Falador.

Another good patch, one of the two tree patches closest to the bank. Easy to get to as well! The best tree patch out there! :)

A) Falador tele and walk from centre.

B) Come north from Draynor.

C) Canoe to Barb. Village then walk west

D) Walk from Varrock

E) Use balloon from Enlightened Journey then walk north, past the gate, then to Falador.

A) is the best option here. B), C) and D) will all work and E) is a little slow.

Tree Patch 4: Taverley

If you like your balloons, then this patch will be easy to get to. Sadly, no bank nearby, either have to walk to Rogue's Den or Falador. Only 1 way to get here quickly.

A) Use balloon from Enlightened Journey and walk north, Voila!

B) Games necklace to Burthrope and walk south.

C) Walk from Falador.

D) Go under White Wolf Mt (or over if Fishing Contest not complete) from Catherby to patch.

A) is the best option, if you can use the balloons though. B) would be the best for most as a games necklace is fairly easy to get and its probably the closest to the patch. C) and D) are both alternatives, just a tad slow.

Tree Patch 5: Gnome Stronghold

A personal fave. Close to a bank and easy to get to, provided you like Gnomish quests. This is a new patch and should be added to your farming routine. It's been confirmed, you can get into the Stronghold with no quests. (Thanks Pedrahm5)

A) Get Spirit tree to Stronghold and walk west to patch.

B) Gnome glider to "Ta Quir Priw" (Grand Tree) then climb down the tree, walk southwest to the patch.

C) Walk from Ardougne.

Either A) or B) will work really well. C) is for those who don't like Gnomish quests, or who happen to be in Ardougne.

{4.0} Fruit Trees.

Another popular one with Farmers. Fruit trees also give big chunks of xp, and the fruits can range from useless to vital. Pineapple trees are hot property as they give Pineapples, used for Supercompost. There are 4 Fruit tree patches in RuneScape.

Fruit Tree patch 1: Catherby.

Great spot. Close to a bank and easily accessible.

There are easy ways to get here, cheap and easy.

A) Camelot Tele and walk south.

B) Gnome Glider to "Sindarpos" (White Wolf Mt) and walk south to Catherby. (Requires Grand Tree completed.)

C) Come from Taverley and go under White Wolf Mt using underground passage. (Requires Fishing Contest) then walk south, right into the patch.

D) Walk over White Wolf Mt from Taverley to Catherby.

E) Walk from Ardougne. :ohnoes:

I recommend A) and B). They are both quite quick. You do require the Grand Tree complete for B) though. For those on a tight budget, use C), this goes under White Wolf Mt, skipping an annoying trek. The passage leads right up and just north of the patch so it is recommended as well. I don't recommend D), do Fishing Contest, easy quest. E), I don't know why I listed it but it is a way to get there, just slow.

Fruit Tree patch 2: Brimhaven

This is not a bad patch, sort of close to bank, bring some coins for the boat!

A) Catch a boat trip from Ardougne, costs 60 coins return.

B) Walk from Karamja.

A) is the best way. You can bank before and after. B) is only good if your in that area.

Fruit Tree Patch 3: Gnome Stronghold

This Fruit Tree Patch is east of the Tree patch in Gnome stronghold. Near a bank and easy to get if you like your Gnomish quests.

A) Get Spirit tree to Stronghold and walk east to patch.

B) Gnome glider to "Ta Quir Priw" (Grand Tree) then climb down the tree, walk southwest to the patch.

C) Walk from Ardougne.

Either A) or B) will work really well. C) is for those who don't like Gnomish quests, or who happen to be in Ardougne.

Fruit Tree Patch 4: Tree Gnome Village Outskirts

A deserted patch. Far from a bank, hard to get to if you don't like Gnomish quests, only use if you need xp!

A) Walk from Ardougne.

B) Spirit Tree to Tree Gnome Village, talk to Elkoy to leave village then walk around to patch.

B) is easily the quickest. Use A) if you don't like Gnomes.

{5.0} Specials.

Specials are not widely used. High lvls Farmers (83+) use Spirit Trees to give them another tele in those hard to reach places. Sadly, other specials aren't used very much. To kick off our specials list, we have the Bittercap Mushroom!

Bittercap Mushrooms.

I included a pic because I'm not sure if people know much about these.

A) Dial up CKS on Fairy Ring, simple, close to patch.

B) Walk from Canifis

C) Walk from "Priest in Peril Gateway"

A) recommended. B) or C) will also work.

Cacti

I will again include a pic of these as I've just grown a patch!

And heres the location.

A) Glory to Al Kharid, walk to patch.

B) Home port or Lumby tele, walk east to Patch, through gates.

C) Use Duel Ring and walk south. (Thanks Berrakus)

D) Gnome Glider "Kar Hewo" to Al Kharid then walk east to patch. (Thanks Berrakus)

All options will work well here. B) is slightly slower and C) is the best from those on a tight budget.

Belladonna

I can't farm these so I will just give the location.

A) Glory to Draynor and walk north to patch.

B) Home Port or Lumbridge tele and walk west from Lumbridge to patch.

C) Falador tele and walk south to patch.

D) If your house is in Rimmington, use House Tele and walk from Rimmington.

E) Use Fairy Ring to get to Zanaris then walk from Zanaris, through swamp to Draynor then north to patch. (Need to start Fairy Tale pt 2.)

F) Catch a boat to Port Sarim and walk north.

I highly recommend A). This is closest and as long as you have a charged glory your fine. B), C) and D) are all fine to use, they are easier to get to as you can get free laws through W66 Law Co. (or craft your own). E) Is a stupid way, but its a way to get there, just very slow. F) is ok if your low on laws, you can't use home port because of timing and you don't have a glory AND your near Tzhaar. Hey, it might happen! :lol:

Calquat

I hear these are popular, and are grown to be used as big xp chunks.

A) Catch a boat trip from Ardougne, costs 60 coins return.

B) Walk from Karamja.

C) Walk north from Shilo

D) House tele (if house is in Brimhaven) and walk south.

C) is the best way. You can bank before and after at Shilo. D) isn't too bad if your house is in Brimhaven. B) is only good if your in that area.

Spirit Tree

The Big Kahuna of Farming. The Spirit Tree. There are 3 locations for a Spirit Tree, but you can only plant in 1 spot.

Location 1: Miscellania

A) Take boat from Relekka, walk north then east to Etceteria.

B) Dial up CIP on Fairy Rings and walk east from Miscellania (Thanks again Berrakus)

A) is the only way to get there. If someone has another way, please post it.

Location 2: Draynor

A) Glory to Draynor and walk west to patch.

B) Home Port or Lumbridge tele and walk west from Lumbridge to patch.

C) Falador tele and walk south to patch.

D) If your house is in Rimmington, use House Tele and walk from Rimmington.

E) Use Fairy Ring to get to Zanaris then walk from Zanaris, through swamp to Draynor then west to patch. (Need to start Fairy Tale pt 2.)

F) Catch a boat to Port Sarim and walk northeast.

I highly recommend A). This is closest and as long as you have a charged glory your fine. B), C) and D) are all fine to use, they are easier to get to as you can get free laws through W66 Law Co. (or craft your own). E) Is a stupid way, but its a way to get there, just very slow. F) is ok if your low on laws, you can't use home port because of timing and you don't have a glory AND your near Tzhaar. Hey, it might happen! :lol:

Location 3: Brimhaven

A handy location for a Spirit.

A) Catch a boat trip from Ardougne, costs 60 coins return.

B) Walk from Karamja.

A) is the best way. You can bank before and after. B) is only good if your in that area.

{6.0} Bushes.

Bushes aren't used much. They don't give much xp. Some higher lvl bushes can be quite useful however, especially for the budding Herblore fanatic.

Bush Patch 1: Champions Guild

Quite accessible, if you want to grow bushes, this is a good spot, also for starting out farmers, this patch is close to both the Lumbridge hops and the Draynor allotment patch and even the Varrock tree spot is nearby! Might be a bit of a walk to a bank though.

A) Get a canoe to Champions Guild, and walk north, too easy!

B) Varrock tele and walk south.

C) Lumbridge tele or Home port and walk north.

D) Walk east from Falador.

A) is easily the best way here. Use your lumbridge tele or a home port and you can use the Lumbridge Canoe station, very fast and right to the patch. B) is quite quick, C) a little slow, but can be combined with canoe as I mentioned. D) is also a slow route.

Bush Patch 2: Rimmington

If your house is in Rimmington, that will be a bonus getting to this patch! It is possible to bank using a servant if your house is in Rimmington. (Thanks Tommybuckk)

A) Home Tele (if your house is in Rimmington) and walk west, very quick access.

B) Glory to Draynor, walk west into Rimmington.

C) Walk south from Falador.

D) Use teleport in Wizards Guild that goes to Dark Wizards Tower, then walk southeast. (66 Mage required?)

E) Dial up DIS on Fairy Ring, walk north to Draynor then west to Patch.

F) Home port or Lumbridge tele, walk west to Draynor, then west to Rimmington.

A) is the best bet, if your house isn't in Rimmington, go B). C) is alright if your in the area. If you happen to be in Yanille, D) is a good option. You need access to Wizards Guild however. E) is a bit slow, but it will work. Same with F), but even slower...

Bush Patch 3: Etceteria

There is a bank close by, hard to get to though. Maybe plant a seed and pick the berries when doing MTK runs? High lvl Farmers (83+) might use this patch if they planted their spirit at Etceteria.

A) Catch boat from Relekka, then walk northeast to Etceteria. (If house is in Relekka, use that tele, Enchanted Lyre, AJR on Fairy Rings, then walk west to Relekka)

B) Use Spirit Tree to Etceteria (82 Farm required, must of planted Spirit Tree there.)

A) is obviously the only way to Etceteria unless you planted your Spirit Tree there. I've listed a few ways to get to Relekka as well.

Bush Patch 4: Ardougne Outskirts

The final bush patch. A little way from a bank and a bit far away as well.

A) Ardougne tele and walk south.

B) Catch a boat from Brimhaven to Ardougne, then walk southwest to patch.

C) Get a spirit tree to Tree Gnome Village, talk to Elkoy who will take you out, then walk east to patch.

D) Dial up DJP on Fairy Rings and walk west.

D) is your fastest option if you have Fairy Rings. A) isn't too bad either. C) is good as there are spirit trees around. B) is fairly slow, but if your on the Karamja/Brimhaven region, its not too bad.

{7.0} Hops.

Hops are another rarely used Farming patch. Beer brewers might use it, but I don't know many beer brewers... Some patches can be included in your farming run though if you have the seeds. There are 4 hop patches.

Hop Patch 1: Lumbridge

Not bad for a beginner. Close to Champions Guild bush patch and also sort of close to the Draynor allotment. Good for extra xp.

A) Canoe to Champions Guild and walk south.

B) Walk north from Lumbridge (use home port or lumbridge tele)

C) Walk south from Varrock

D) Walk east from Draynor.

A) and B) are your best bets here. Since the home port is free, it can be used here as long as you haven't used it within the last 30 minutes.

Hop Patch 2: Entrana

With the new balloons, a little easier to get to. Got to go to Draynor for bank though. Remember, no weapons or armour!

A) Catch a balloon to Entrana (Requires Enlightened Journey quest)

B) Catch a boat from Port Sarim.

Either will work well. The closest bank however, is back at Draynor.

Hop Patch 3: Yanille

This patch has a few ways to get to and has a bank close by.

A) Get Gnome Glider to "Lemantolly Undra" (sp?) (Feldip Hills) and walk north through ogres, to Yanille.

B) If your house is in Yanille, use house tele and walk east to the patch.

C) Watchtower tele and walk east along fence then into Yanille. (Agility shortcut halfway)

D) Walk south from Ardougne.

E) Leave CW and walk south, then east through Feldip Hills, then north to Yanille.

F) Dial up CIQ on Fairy Rings, then walk south, then east along the Yanille fence line into Yanille.

A), B), C) and F) are all good options and will work well here. B) is the quickest, but all will put you nearish to Yanille. D) and E) is quite slow compared to the other options.

Hop Patch 4: Northwest of Seers.

This patch is a little out of the way, but if your passing through Seers, maybe stop and get some hop seeds out.

A) Camelot tele, then walk west along the path in Seers, then head northwest when you get to the Pillory.

B) Dial up ALS on Fairy Rings, then walk east, leave McGrubor's Woods and head north to patch.

C) Use lyre to Relekka then walk south.

A) and B) are the best bets. C) is a waste of a lyre telly imho.

{8.0} Concluding Words.

Well, thats it. That is my guide to every farming patch. If your ever lost, can't find that Belladonna patch or need to know a way to get to that Ardougne bush patch, be sure to check here.

If you have found any errors, post them here and I will fix them up. If you have any suggestions such as another way to get to a certain farming patch, post them here. Constructive criticism is always nice, don't just flame the guide.

*NOTE* The AOW Map to Farming patches is a dead link.

{9.0} Suggestions and Corrections.

Berrakus, many different little errors and suggested a few extra ways to get to patches, thanks heaps!

Pedrahm5, confirmation of not needing any quests to get into the Gnome Stronghold. Thanks as well.

Tommybuckk, told me that you can bank in Rimmington by using your servant if your house is there. Thanks!

hawkwing221 · January 2, 2007

I'll look forward to the finished version.

Good luck on completing the guide!

:o

EDIT: Nice guide! 10/10

Kenshinjapan · January 2, 2007

Dude...paste it from word when it's ready...this is pointless

tromort · January 2, 2007

omg! finish it first THEN post it..and hy wud i look here? on tip.it its much easyer

Severation · January 2, 2007

really good guide. some things could be changed

for example, for the taverly tree patch, using the falador bank seems to be quicker.

also, I recomend having a ring of duelling on you at all times whilst farming (and pretty much everything else). you dont know how many times ive forgotten seeds. or, when the yield is beyond inventory levels. for example, the canifis patch. its a lot quicker to, once your inventory is full, to tele to castle wars, bank, then ectophial bank. however, this can be quite expensive if you value your emeralds.

Mamong · January 2, 2007

I'm really sorry, I didn't even realise I posted this... :oops:

EDIT: Alright, complete guide is now up.

ugafan_2009 · January 3, 2007

Very nice guide. :thumbsup:

radmix · January 3, 2007

wow nice guide

Mamong · January 3, 2007

Thanks for the support Uga and Rad. Fixed a few typos in guide.

pedrahm5 · January 3, 2007

Very nice, detailed guide :) there aren't enough of these.

And btw you don't need to start or finish any quest to get into the gnome stronghold

Berrakus · January 3, 2007

A few things...

Spirit Trees are level 83, not 82.

The easiest way to get to Miscellania is by Fairy Ring (CIP). It takes you just North of the Miscellania Castle.

For mushrooms, use CKS on the Fairy Rings, not BKR.

The quickest way to get to the Cactus patch is by Duel Ring (and don't forget the gnome glider option)

Calquats are not used as farmer payments.

miracleman58 · January 3, 2007

You make me sound like an idiot! :oops:

All mistakes corrected and added in your extra ways to get to Cactus patch.

Pedrahm5, thanks for the confirmation about Gnome Stronghold.

Mamong · January 3, 2007

Thanks for all the support so far! =D>

Mamong · January 4, 2007

Edited some more mistakes. Logging off for the night.

The Runar · January 6, 2007

Incredible guide! We need more like this.

Mamong · January 10, 2007

Thanks Tiigon. I'm glad my guide is helpful, it did take a lot of work.

Mamong · January 13, 2007

I'm wondering if my guide needs a few more pics on the actual plants themselves. What do people think about this?

Tommybuckk · January 13, 2007

Very nice 10/10 On the PAtch by rimmington portal with 20+con and a servant they take things to bank

:

Mamong · January 14, 2007

Ok thanks, I'll add that you can use a servant to bank.

Kinslayer777 · January 14, 2007

Kharyll is in fact Canafis Pub tele.

Mamong · January 14, 2007

Ok, thanks for that. I'll add it in the morning, along with some stuff from Severation. I'm too tired now.

Mamong · January 30, 2007

Aww, third pagenow :(
