About OSRS The Farming Handbook
In this OSRS farming tutorial, you’ll discover all you need to know to master this lucrative skill and also earn plenty of OSRS gold along the way.
Farming in Old School RuneScape is probably the most unusual, since it has a good resemblance to real-life farming. You have to plant crops and watch them grow into full-fledged plants with sweet fruit.
The complete OSRS Farming Training Guide
Farming is also different from other skill types in OSRS since it’s mostly AFK. Even though it’s an AFK ability, it is one that requires patience as you will not have your Farming skills going higher than other skills.
It is instead required to perform regular Farming trips to cultivate seeds as well as harvest the crops. Think of each run similar as what farmers do during the harvesting season on the ground.
Just like in real life it is necessary to be aware the various types of plants and what species of plants to sow. So , without further delay, let’s start with the basics for farming Old School RuneScape.
OSRS Farming Basics
The first thing to know about Farming is locations called Farming patches. You cannot simply drop seeds in the earth and expect that they will grow. Your crops must be planted in designated locations.
In addition, there’s another layer of selection , as farming patches are designed to certain species of crops. The more you unlock of these Farming patches with time and will become adept at learning Farming once you gain access to more locations and teleportation methods.
The benefit is that, in certain cases, various Farming patches are grouped in little clusters.
RuneScape Plant Types
Another thing to remember is that plants come in many varieties:
Normal trees
Fruit trees
Bushes
Hops
Vegetables
Flowers
Allotments
Herbs
Special plants
Each species of plant has a different seed that may be planted into their specific Farming patches. Trees need to be grown into saplings prior to putting them in the ground.
Seeds
There are many Seed types available in the game. Your Farming level defines what Seeds you can plant into Farming patches. Seeds can’t be sown in any Farming patch as well.
Seeds can be obtained through a variety of methods most efficient is emptying Bird traps in the house using Hunter skills and then acquiring Bird nests.
Saplings
Saplings represent an intermediate step between the Seed and the Tree. You will require a empty pot to plant in and then fill it using soil from any Farming field by using a Gardening trowel.
Tree Seeds must be planted into a plant pot that is filled with a trowel, and then they are watered by a watering container on a plant pot with a filter. You’ll be able to tell from the sapling that Sapling is watered through a “w” appearing at the end of its name.
A sapling requires about 5 minutes to mature enough to be planted outdoors. Normal trees that develop from saplings can be manually removed or pay the Farmer 200 coins to help you with the task and focus on training for Farming.
Plants that are diseased
As with animals can be sick. When you plant your plants and they begin to grow in size, they may contract an illness. If this happens, you’ll need to care for your plant on your own or pay a nearby NPC to take care of your plants for you.
Plants can be treated for disease through this Plant cure potion on them. The potions can be purchased at farms at a cost of 40 coins or a farmer at the Farming Patch at a cost of 25 coins.
A different method to rid your plants of disease is to employ this Cure Plant spell from the Lunar spellbook. It requires level the 66th level of Magic in order to use 8 Earth runes as well as 1 Astral rune. It is worth choosing Cure Plant spell over Plant cure potion only if using Earth staff.
Dead Plants
If your plants contract an illness, they may end up dying as well. Dead plants can’t be cured however, you can attempt to bring them back (we aren’t sure whether this qualifies as necromancy).
The spell is called this Resurrect Crops spell from the Arceuus spellbook. The spell requires level 78 Magic and plenty of runes, including 25 Earth runes. 8 Blood runes 12 Nature runes, and eight Spirit runes. The probability of raising your beloved plant back from the dead is dependent on the Magic level you have.
In the Magic level of 78,, the chance is 50% and increases to 75% by 99 Magic. To avoid using this costly spell in the first place, you could pay NPCs to guard your plants and monitor them with Amulet of nature. It is restricted to a single farming patch.
Farming Patches
As was mentioned before The Farming patches can be found all throughout Gielinor. Certain types of plants can be planted in specific Farming patches.
Important reminder: You’ll require a lot of teleporting. So, getting trained farming on new accounts could be extremely challenging, even if not impossible when considering the cost at a high degree of farming.
To remember which Farming patch you’ve already visited, set up with a seeding/harvesting system or simply visit them one at a time in circular routes.
OSRS Farming Tools
While the potions and spells discussed above could be listed under this category, we’re talking about the more commonplace stuff. Tools for farming can be purchased at any farm shop, and all have their specific uses.
What’s more, they all share storage space, so you can leave your tools with one Leprechaun and then get them from another. Additionally, Tool Leprechauns can note your herbs as well as other produce.
Types of Compost
Fertilizing your plant is very essential for them to stay healthy and yield fruit. To accomplish this, you’ll require the compost bin quite a little. There are three types of compost that include Compost (regular) Supercompost and Ultracompost.
Compost
Compost can be made by placing farm produce in Compost bins. Compost bins must then be shut and left for 60 mins for the produce to rot and turn into Compost.
A single batch produces 15 Buckets of compost. If you are impatient you can also purchase it from one of the Farming shops. Compost can reduce the risk of Plants getting sick by 50% and boosts both maximum and minimum yields.
Supercompost
Supercompost can be obtained through a few ways. In the first place, as with regular Compost it is necessary to put the necessary produce into Compost bins found near Allotment patches.
Supercompost is known as “super” for its effects and not for the time it takes to develop, as it can take 90 minutes or 1.5 to two times more time than regular Compost.
It can also be used the Compost potion on a complete compost bin to transform the entire lot into Supercompost or even on a single bucket of Compost that is already in your inventory (but why would you want to do this? ).
Supercompost can be purchased for points rewarded from Tithe Farm. Tithe Farm. Fertile Soil is a spell in the Lunar spellbook is able to apply the same effect on a Farming patch as Supercompost.
Supercompost reduces the risk of your plants contracting an illness by around 86% and just as Compost, it increases the minimum and maximum yield.
Ultracompost
Then, last but not least We have Ultracompost. Ultracompost is a type of Compost that is enhanced. Ultracompost can be made through fertilizing a Compost bin that is filled with Supercompost by adding 25 units of Volcanic Ash or 50 when dealing with big compost bins. It is also possible to add 2 Volcanic Ash to one bucket of Supercompost to convert it into Ultracompost. However, this is not economical.
Similar to Supercompost however, there is an Magic alternative. Fertile soil spells from the Lunar spellbook can be used on a Farming patch to benefit from Ultracompost. You must be carrying 2 Volcanic Ash in your inventory in order for this spell to take effect.
Ultracompost reduces the chance of your plants becoming sick by an astounding 90% and increases the minimum and maximum yields more than Supercompost can.
The Farmer’s Outfit
The outfit of the farmer is very useful. It is available for purchase from the minigame shop for Tithe Farm. The set is complete and provides 2.5 percent boost to farming XP gains (2 percentage from different pieces + 0.5 per cent set bonus) Therefore, it is suggested to buy it as soon as possible.
If you can get it at a higher farming level could be useless. If you do decide to buy it, start by purchasing Torso (0.8%), then Legs (0.6 percent) and finally Hat (0.4%)), and leave the Boots (0.2 percent) to the last.
The Farming Guild
The Farming Guild is a place every farmer who is competent should go to. As with other guilds of artisans, it provides various bonuses. Farming Guild contains additional Farming patches that can be used to earn additional XP.
Farming Guild has a caste system of sorts: beginner intermediate, advanced, and. Each section has its own Farming level required, which is 45 Farming, 65 and 85 as well. Each section unlocks additional Farming patches to be utilized by a rising farmer like yourself.
To enter Farming Guild you must have the minimum level of Farming 45 and 65% Hosidius Favor. The guild also contains Farming patches exclusive and exclusive to the guild: Anima, Celestrus, Redwood along with the Hespori patch.
The Best Method to Level Up Farming in OSRS
For a better understanding of how to farm efficiently, You should plant numerous Trees. They require time to grow thus you can spend this time doing other activities. This method of learning to Farm though effective is expensive in the higher levels of Farming, so be sure to purchase OSRS gold when your bank account is drained.
Be sure to pay the Gardener 200 coins cost so that he can cut down trees for you. Trees for you. All that you need to do is click the Tree to gain Farming XP. Make sure you pay your security money.
Not last, to get the fastest Farming training you should buy items from the Grand Exchange and note items necessary for protection payments to save inventory space. Additionally, you will need to teleport frequently, so make sure to open all teleports that are available or make use of the ones closest you have to specific Farming patches.
