Its the process of learning farming. I call this process Fertilization

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

1) You see the skill, think it should be fun

 

 

 

2) You try the skill the way you try other skills and wait at the crops, only to die of boredom

 

 

 

3) You rant to Freshwacka about how stupid farming is

 

 

 

4) Freshwacka tells you ranarr/snapdragon farming made her 10m, and shows you your process

 

 

 

5) Your farming goes up 20 levels in a week

 

 

 

6) You enjoy farming

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Congratulations, you have opened your farming chakra. (5 Bonus points to someone who can tell me what show that is from)

 

 

 

It came from the basic Asian concept of life energy? Dunno, that's what I'm thinking.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As for farming, it's useful for herbs, but the concept of it just drives me insane. Seriously, I'd kill myself if I had to tell my parents I was on the computer farming.

hey wheres my 5 points? even tho I was just warned #-o

I think farming is a fantastic skill.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A lot of people just go about it the wrong way, which is why they don't enjoy it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It's an invaluable addition to herblore and probably accounts for half of all herbs i've owned.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It's very easy to level if you use tree seeds and earns you some healthy respect if you're a high level :)

Farming is what you make of it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If you hate it, then dont do it (just use ToG)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If you want to learn how to like it follow Freshwackas guide and the lame naruto reference (im guessing)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If you still hate it then dont train it, why train a skill you hate?

Its fun that thieving or slayer and stuff came, but farming is kinda useless....

 

 

 

Could BE useful for some people who train herblore a lot.

 

 

 

But i have also only herblore 45. Farming is useless.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

this is an akward thing to say. What does say slayer provide for you? A nice money making skill from monster drops, you can't argue that, right? What's farming? A good money making skill. This is annoying that people are ranting about farming while they haven't given a good chance. It takes a little getting used to farming, because its the most unique skill in the game imo.

I like to slay creatures and yes, i love the drops (sometimes)

Something even stranger.....

 

 

 

After all those posts yuo are not convinced yet of the profitability and the easyness of farming?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Then we can't anything for you.... :wall:

I have maybe farming 38 but thats because i do tears of guthix.

 

 

 

I can understand some people that they train farming because the have all they're other skills 99 lol.

 

 

 

But, why are some people crazy about farming?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is a fun skill to level in.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

But if you just stand around one spot and wait for grass to grow... you won't like it, you won't level fast, and you won't be a farmer.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You gotta race the clock. Go to all the spots. 4 allotments, 5 if you did the quest. 4 hop places. 4 fruit trees. 4 regular trees.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You'll start sparkling. You'll start seeing what you can grow next. You'll sparkle some more. You'll start seeing what herbs you want to grow and set your goal. You'll find uses for your produce. You'll enjoy the herb output.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

- Use supercompost for less disease. Some will die, but so what. You'll be so busy running around getting exp, it won't matter.

 

 

 

- Have fun doing the mole, cutting trees, and other ways of getting tree seeds.

 

 

 

- Get your thieving up by stealing seeds, and collecting them in your bank. Start saving all the herb seeds you get for future use.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If you actually do it the right way, its very easy to get hooked on.

Don't just sit at Catherby and watch the grass grow. Run around! Get your travel route!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Be a travelling farmer!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You won't be able to keep up with it. Seriously. By the time you finish all your rounds, you'll have to steal more seeds because you planted so many. You won't be able to plant, and get seeds faster than the crops get ready.

go leesters, i couldnt have said it better myself

And ironically, that's what first put me off! I used so many laws those first few days (but I got to 30 really really quickly) that as soon as I hit the high scores I gave up. Now, after a rather long absense, I have developed a route that uses up the few tree seeds I have, gets some decent xp from bushes, and grants me a silly amount of herbs, all for just one law!...... and some jewllery teleports, but I have around 100 Rings of Dueling, and more Games Necklaces for charging Glory's, so it's hardly costly. And my herblaw level loves it.

personally i hate it but i do consider it a great money maker and useful at high levels but i just dont like wasting time getting to and from my crops
