Farming timer/counter !!

[gedderz]

this is a grate little tool simple but fantasticly effective!

[devial1]

That is great I love it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

But I have a suggestion witch my take some time to do. Have it alert you when they go into a different stage. Such as from inspect to harvest. Like that. I think it has certain times when it does that I just havn't bothered to check.

the whole noobs thing, not nice. :notalk:

 

 

 

u where a noob once too. i dont think u should say things like that, it may offend people.

[Luke]

Great!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Well done :!: =D>

[ssenmodnar]

u used the times that the guides posted

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

from personal experience, they are always much more

 

 

 

sometimes the RS farming clock can glitch and cause fruit trees, which take supposedly 14.5 hours to grow, well over 26 hours... but those are usually freak accidents

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

usually giving fruit trees 18 hours growth time is enough of a buffer

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

i dont have a specific guideline but roughly growth time * 1.25 is a good estimate, but like i said, sometimes it can be WELL more due to freak glitches

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

farming growth runs in cycles rather than clearly defined time intervals

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

handy indeed, but not so practical

*Claps*

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

That's really nice, good job!

I have to agree with this - I've had herbs easily take 2.5 hours to grow (essentially double the time normally).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My friends think I'm going crazy, but I timed it to the minute and never left the plot (logged out and logged in when time was supposedly up.)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I haven't noticed it for trees, but I usually give fruit trees about 18-20 hours anyways.

[Greedom1]

^ that said, this is a rather handy tool that will be extremely helpful for the lower level farmer, but somewhat less so for a higher level as they usually have a good handle on the crop cycles and the rounds you need to take.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(At least I know that I do - usually a slay task takes up the time for herbs and especially bushes to grow fully - every other slay task and the belladonna is done... You get the idea.)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'll rank it a 9.6/10 (only because I think there's always room for improvement...)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Nice addition, and thanks a bunch :)

[Azurechaos]

Awesome! I'll use this once I get some maple/ranarr seeds going. :)

[Greedom1]

Speaking of times not being correct - I just experienced a horrible lag on my herb plot.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The details:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Torstol planted on roof of Troll Stronghold.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Growing time: over 10 hours. Yes, 10 hours!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So last night I planted a torstol, waited about 60-70 mins and it hadn't finished, so I logged out and went to bed. Today I logged in about 8+ hours later to find it hadn't grown. I did the new quest, came back and it still hadn't grown. Ugh! Then, I farmed some other plots, (about 60 mins later) and it -still- hadn't grown. Finally, I logged out, had lunch and when I came back it was finished.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I think the timer reset when they updated (even though it was almost fully grown), and didn't get restarted until I signed in. (I think the same happened for my fruit trees as they should have been finished a few hours ago as well.)

[Who]

Should add the new Alloment patch in Harmony, just for completion.

[JoeDaStudd]

Ok, I've completed the first major part of my Visual Basic Farming timer/calc.

 

 

 

Its a program which means it is a [Caution: ExecutableFile], but is 100% virus free.

 

 

 

Heres a link to the file.

 

 

 

Please note there a quite a few bits which need to be added.

 

 

 

Any feedback would be great.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ps is still not as good as freezix's, but it is standalone meaning you don't have to have a internet connection to use or even IE, Firefox or Opera.

[bamxzor]

The fruit tree times are really unaccurate.. they take closer to 17 - 18 hours.. not 12.5 or whatever its set at.

[freezix]

O.K., I'll modify it

[BBC3]

very nice

[LeggoMyEggo]

I'm farming rannars and I think it takes more then an hour and 15 mins. I timed it once it was an hour and 19 mins then now I planted another at 4:52 and it finished growing at 6:22. So what is it really if you can find out, I am somewhat trying. :lol:

[mujtaba]

if i was a member i'd use it :)

[freezix]

You'll will never find the same time when you grow plants because it is never the same, in this timer, i put an average time given by rune tips.
