Hey, fellow adventurers! It's RSorder, and I'm thrilled to guide you through the journey from level 1 to 99 Farming in Old School RuneScape. In this comprehensive guide, we'll explore various low-level methods, including tree farming, herb farming, and tips for Ironman accounts. Whether you're a casual player or an Ironman enthusiast, Farming is a unique skill that offers both passive training and significant profitability.

Why Train Farming?

Farming, unlike many other skills, allows for passive training. With just a few minutes each day, you can embark on a farm run, gaining substantial experience. This makes Farming an ideal choice for players who can't dedicate long hours to the game daily. Moreover, Farming can be highly profitable. Even at lower levels, herb runs can yield substantial profits, and at level 90, a complete herb run of ranarrs can net an average of 300k in profit.

For Ironman accounts, Farming is essential, particularly for herb farming, which serves as a primary source of herbs for Herblore. Additionally, several quests in Old School RuneScape have farming-level requirements. Quests like "Song of the Elves" play a vital role in progressing your account. Achieving a Quest Cape requires level 70 Farming, while the Achievement Diary Cape demands level 91 Farming. The elusive Tangleroot, a farming pet, adds another layer of excitement, with a tiny chance of appearing whenever you check a patch's health.

How Farming Works:

In Old School RuneScape, Farming involves planting and harvesting crops across the map's 60+ farming patches. Each crop has a unique growth time, ranging from 20 minutes to 107 hours. Regular maintenance, including using compost, helps prevent crops from becoming diseased, ultimately leading to death. Trees and herbs are the most common crops for farming, with trees having longer growth times.

Farming experience is primarily gained through farm runs, where players periodically plant and harvest crops. The use of compost reduces the chance of disease, with different types of compost offering varying levels of protection. Paying gardeners for patch protection guarantees successful growth. Once a patch is fully grown, it can be harvested for experience and production.

Tree patches yield thousands of experience points when harvested, while herb patches start with a set number of harvest lives. Regular compost, supercompost, and ultracompost influence the number of harvest lives, affecting the minimum yield per patch.

Pathways to 99:

From level 1, training Farming through crop harvesting is slow. Three low-level methods can expedite early training: questing, obtaining Hosidiu's favor, and utilizing bagged plants. Completing the "Fairytale Part 1" quest grants easy farming levels, providing a head start. Hosidius's favor, combined with saltpetre and compost, rapidly boosts early farming levels. Bagged plants, especially for low-level players, offer a viable training method.

The early goal is to initiate tree runs at level 15. Trees provide significant experience when harvested, making them an efficient method up to level 99. Alongside tree runs, herb runs, seaweed runs, allotment runs, and participation in the Tithe Farm minigame can supplement experience gains.

Tree Farming:

Tree farming stands out as the most efficient method in the game, offering substantial experience gains with minimal time investment. The pathway to 99 involves progressively unlocking and planting different types of trees as you level up. Regular tree patches, oak trees, fruit trees, hardwood trees, and special trees provide various options for training.

The number of tree patches across RuneScape varies in growth time, allowing for multiple runs per day. Completing quests like "Bone Voyage" opens up additional tree patches, with the farming guild offering various useful patches. Unlocks like scrolls of redirection and teleports expedite tree runs, enhancing efficiency.

Two main pathways to 99 exist the fastest, requiring expensive protection payments to gardeners, and a cost-effective method using ultracompost. Players opting for the fastest route complete two runs per day, focusing on the highest-level trees available. The cost-effective pathway, taking longer but significantly reducing expenses, involves daily runs with protection payments only for specific trees.

Three sample tree runs cater to different player preferences: a low-level oak run, a regular tree run, and a complete tree run incorporating regular, fruit, and special trees. The efficiency of tree farming lies in consistently following these routes, maximizing experience gains.

Herb Farming:

Herb farming complements tree runs and provides another avenue for significant experience gains. With herbs taking 80 minutes to grow, herb runs can be incorporated into daily routines. Nine herb patches across RuneScape, coupled with allotments, offer diverse training options.

Choosing the right herb to plant depends on your level, preferences, and available unlocks. Unlocking disease-free patches, utilizing the Kourend and Kandarin diaries, and obtaining the Explorer's Ring and Ardy Cloak 2 enhance herb run profitability. Ultracompost is a must for herb runs, guaranteeing a minimum yield of six herbs per patch. Ranarrs, toadflaxes, and avantoes are profitable choices at different levels, with torstols providing the best XP at level 85. Garden pies can boost herbs not yet unlocked, offering flexibility in your training approach.

A complete herb run involves visiting various herb patches with a well-prepared inventory. Seed dibber, spade, rake, herb seeds, teleports, ultracompost, magic secateurs, and the farming outfit form the essential equipment. Consistent routines at each patch, including checking health, picking herbs, planting new seeds, and applying ultracompost, maximize efficiency.

Tithe Farm Minigame:

Situated in the southeast corner of Zeah, the Tithe Farm minigame requires 100% Hosidius favor and 34 farming. While the minigame offers modest XP rates (28k to 110k per hour), many players engage in it for valuable rewards. The herb sack, seed box, and farmer's outfit provide tangible benefits for various aspects of the game.

Tithe Farm strategies involve planting seeds in specific formations, aiming to grow 20 plants simultaneously. Full Graceful attire and the Humidify spell from the Lunar spellbook enhance efficiency. The minigame, though not the fastest leveling method, serves as a supplementary source of farming XP and rewards.

For those pursuing a swift journey to 99, combining tree runs with the Tithe Farm is the optimal strategy.

Ironman Farming Tips:

Ironmen follow similar methods to regular accounts but face the additional challenge of obtaining their seeds. Master farmers, slayer tasks, farming contracts, and activities like woodcutting and birdhouse runs provide diverse seed sources. The Tithe Farm remains a reliable option for acquiring tree seeds.

Allotments play a crucial role in Ironman herb runs, allowing for the production of prayer potions and super compost. Giant seaweed farming, while demanding 92 Farming, is a unique Ironman method for crafting training. Compost and ultracompost production from compost bins support the demand for ultracompost in herb and tree runs.

To enhance efficiency, Ironmen should incorporate contracts from the Farming Guild, exchanging points for seed packs and other valuable items. Additionally, the seed vault in the Farming Guild allows for convenient seed storage, optimizing inventory space.

Conclusion:

Embarking on the journey from level 1 to 99 Farming in Old School RuneScape requires dedication, but the rewards, both in experience and profits, make it a worthwhile endeavor. By consistently following tree runs, and herb runs, and incorporating the Tithe Farm minigame, you'll witness steady progress toward that coveted 99 Farming cape.

Remember, persistence is key. Farming is a skill that thrives on routine, with daily runs and maintenance laying the foundation for your success. May your crops grow plentiful, and your Farming level soar to new heights. Happy farming, adventurers!
