Farming is one of the most fun skills to train. You can also train your other skills such as fletching while waiting for your crops to grow. It does not require you to stand near the crops, and it is a very realistic skill, which can teach you about real life farming.
Here are farming tips for Runescape players which can be used by all farmers:
*Collect all farming materials Before you begin farming, make sure you collect the basic farming materials since this will make farming much more faster and fun since you won't have to look around for farming tool and focus on playing.
Make sure you have a spade, rake, compost buckets, seed dibber, etc.
Collect seeds and store them in bank Seeds are what you need for farming. Stealing seeds is one of the best ways to collect seeds for farming. You can go to draynor village, or just steal from man and you will get seeds. If you are lucky you might steal ranarr, which sells for 7,000 coins.
Pay the farmer to look after your crops Farmer will offer you to look after your crops so that you don't need to stand there and wait forever for the crop to grow. This is why it is important to pay the farmer. He usually asks for compost, buckets, etc which is the tip#1, so you should have those items. It is worth paying him because then you can walk away and get experience.
Make sure you check on crops Crops require care, and although Runescape is a video game it imitates the real life farming where crops require care. You also need to take care of your crops and water them often and make sure that you put compost or super compost for them to grow. I usually bring yew longbows and nature runes and train magic at the same time as farming.
* Make sure you can locate all patches Different seeds go in different patches. The basic ones for level 1 farmer are found in the falador farm, which is located between draynor and falador, near the mining guild.
Buy seeds If you can grow ranarr leaves, it is worth buying ranarr seeds because then you can make a lot of money since a seed will give you more leaves which gives a lot of experience and sells for the same price or higher than the ranarr seeds. Ranarr seeds sell for 25,000 coins and can be easily purchased on the Runescape forum.
Get agility high Some farms have shortcuts and need agility to get to the nearby shops so make sure you can take shortcuts and get your agility high so you can run faster to the farm and save time.
These are the tips, which you should follow to get better at farming and gain experience faster. Good luck farming! http://www.runerich.com
