Quests for Farming

[natea]

Im starting to really get into farming but I know im not doing everything right, Im trying to make it faster. I was wondering from the master farmers here what quests are essential for farming. Btw im level 52.

[Jake_Corsair]

Definately "A Fairy's Tale pt.1" for the Magic Secateurs(sp), and "My Arm's Big Adventure" for the disease free herb patch. Those 2 off hand are the only ones I can think of, but if I remember more (before any else thinks up others). I'll edit my post or reply.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And just thought of a few more as I hit submit. :oops:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

EDIT1: Throne of Miscellania and Royal Trouble, using them to collect maples (and herbs and flax to an extent) will gain you a lot of nests (or herb seeds from flax and herbs). That will gain you a lot of tree seeds, which you'll be needing for faster xp.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

EDIT2: Chartres beat me too it #-o

Nice Farming level :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

These are all the quests I know of that give farming experience:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A Fairy Tale Part I

 

 

 

Enlightened Journey

 

 

 

Forgettable Tale of a Drunken Dwarf

 

 

 

Garden of Tranquility

 

 

 

My Arm's Big Adventure

 

 

 

Recipe for Disaster

 

 

 

Rum Deal - This one gives like 7k experience

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My advice, plant tree seeds all the way if you can. Managing your kingdom after Royal Trouble quest will give you loads of tree seeds if you set your workers to cutting maples. I got a lot of farming levels this way.

Thank you both, how do i get farming exp from managing maples? I dont really follow RS updates :(

[Jake_Corsair]

You won't get farming xp from them collecting maples, but you will get bird nests as a bonus when they do. From them, you will get tree seeds (mostly seeds, sometimes jeweled rings or bird eggs). Which will be valuable farming xp.

sounds interesting, how much money should I have to start off?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Also which quests are good for teleporintg? say for that disease free patch, thats a very long walk

[Jake_Corsair]

Eadger's Ruse for the Trollheim Teleport, makes the walk a bit more manageable.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As for the kingdom managing:

 

 

 

http://www.tip.it/runescape/?page=manag ... ingdom.htm Is a great guide to it. After the 2 quests, you'll want make sure you have at least 750k in it at any given time (it will take 10% of the amount with the max being 75k). That way you can get the maximum amount of resources each day.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You don't have to put that much in, but for maximum resources, it's best.

[natea]

So, finish those two quests, put in 750k, get it to 100% every day, then after how ever many days i get my things?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

how much should I put into maple

What you want to do is make sure your coffer is never below 750k when they take the money. If you only have 750k in the coffer, you'll need to go back and get it every day and readd money.

[Jake_Corsair]

Well if you start with 750k you'll have to add another 75k each day to get maximum. I usually put in 1 mill and can leave it for 4 days for max. resources.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You'll be able to get your resources every day (starting one full day after you put the money in). You can either collect each day or go back in a few days (or longer if you have enough money in there) and collect all at once. Personally, collecting after a while is better in my opinion. Since you get bonus' based on how much of the resource you've collected. So for example, if your workers have collect 1289 maple logs, you're only 11 logs away from another nest. Leaving it in there for another day would get you more. (those are meant to be exact numbers, also you won't know how many your workers have collected until you collect).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I usually have them collect maples 100% and then 50% on herbs or flax (depending on what I need).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here is a calc for checking out profits and very close estimates to what you will get with money/time/approval ratings.

I know it's Rune HQ, but until Tip.It can come up with their own....*hint* :-w

[natea]

so say if i put in 1 million? Could I just get the approval and let it sit for 10-11 days?

[Jake_Corsair]

Well after 4 days, you wouldn't be getting max resources as it wouldn't be taking the max amount of money out of the coffers. But you'd still get a good amount of logs and nests.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

These are rough estimates using the Tip.It Guide

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

At max amount money taken each day, you'd get about 891 maples (8 nests bonus)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

At 600k in the coffers (60k taken out), you'd get about 713 maples that day (7 nests).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So leaving it for 10 days would still get you quite a bit (8 bests for the first 4 days, then gradually declining) till you collect.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Also before you collect (if you let it stay for a few days or longer), raise your approval rating up again right before you collect. It drops 1% each day. And when you collect it's basically an average from your spproval (if I understand correctly). So at 100% to start with, leaving it for 10 days, then raising it back up right before you collect, would be like have a 95% approval rating. Which doesn't drop you down that much. (matter of fact, I've done that and gotten more than the calc said I would).
