OSRS Farming Training Guide Level 1-99

101343 0

When people think about OSRS, they think about doing awesome things like slaying dragons, demons, and many other fearsome creatures. What makes the game fantastic though is the ability to make use of many resources outside weapons and magic. That's why some players spend a lot of time perfecting all skills in the game.

osrs_farming_training_guide_level_1_99_img1

 

If you've been too busy mastering your Attack, Range, and Magic Skill and want a change of pace, you might want to try leveling Farming next. This helpful Skill is one of your pathways to becoming more self-sufficient in the land of Gielinor. Before we talk about training, let's talk about Farming itself first.

What is OSRS Farming?

Farming might not be as cool as Magic, Attack, or Range skills but it's still an essential ability in OSRS. With this skill, you can grow a variety of herbs, crops, and more. Aside from being used as food, the things you farm can also be used to create potions, items, and it can even be used for money making.

The skill becomes even more important if you have an Ironman account. Being self-sustainable is the key to success in Ironman. If you can grow your own things, you'll spend less gold on for items that you need in the game.

Training Farming is relatively easy but we know you want to get it to level 99 as soon as possible. On this guide, we'll teach you all there is to know about farming, and we'll also teach you how to get to level 99 fast.

How to Farm in OSRS

Farming is as easy as fighting any monster in the game but of course, the mechanics are a lot different. It's not as simple as planting seeds and then letting it grow though. There are a few mechanics that you need to consider beforehand.

osrs_farming_training_guide_level_1_99_img2

 

Compost

Apart from seeds, compost is one of the most important items you'll need for Farming in OSRS. You can get this from specific shops. Alternatively, you can put up to 15 weeds or unwanted produce on a compost bin to create it.

osrs_farming_training_guide_level_1_99_img3

 

For a more potent form of fertilizer, you can create supercompost by combining a compost potion with regular compost. You can also add the potion to the compost bin filled with regular compost. The highest form is ultracompost. You can create this by adding volcanic ash on a supercompost bin.

The higher the level of the compost, the faster crops grow. It also decreases the chances of your crops getting diseases.

Obtaining Seeds

Of course, seeds are an essential part of farming as well. There are seeds for herbs, hops, trees, bushes, and more. Getting seeds isn't complicated. In fact, there are more than a few ways to get them.

  • Buying from other players.
  • Occasionally, a seed can taken from a vegetable from one of the non-player-owned fields.
  • Using level 10 Thieving to pickpocket farmers will sometimes yield potato seeds.
  • You can easily obtain a lot of lower level seeds by either finishing farming contracts and dropping the lower level seeds in woody areas.
  • Using level 38 Thieving to pickpocket Master Farmers (including Martin the Master Gardener) for any seeds other than fruit tree and tree seeds.
  • Purchasing from Amelia's Seed Shop in the Farming Guild or Olivia, who manages the seed shop in Draynor Village. There are only seeds for low-level farming that may be bought.
  • Taking goods with level 27 Thieving from Olivia's stall. (If you steal from her, you won't be able to buy seeds from her for a short while.)
  • Tree and fruit tree seeds are found in bird nests, which are obtained in the following ways:
  • Monster drops. Monsters with good seed drops include ogres, moss giants, aberrant spectres, and dagannoths.
  • Capturing implings. Nature implings have the best chances of giving you a seed.
  • The Temple Trekking minigame offers watermelon seeds as a reward.
  • In the underwater region of Fossil Island, seaweed spores randomly spawn.

Growth and Disease

Almost all of the things that you can plant in the game grow depending on a set time period. The only exception is poison ivy. All crops can only be harvested once they've reached maturity. The good news is that plants continue to grow even if you're online so you don't have to be there always. If you're planning to log out, you might as well plant a few crops beforehand so it grows while you're gone.

Crops can't be destroyed by other players but you'll have to watch out for diseases. These can kill of your crops. Once they're fully matured, plants can't die from a disease anymore and they'll remain on the patch until you harvest them.

osrs_farming_training_guide_level_1_99_img4

 

Once afflicted with the disease, plants will stop growing. They can't recover from the disease on their own. You can use plant cure to treat any affected. You can buy these from shops but in most cases, there are farmers near patches that sell the item as well.

Plants are only safe from the disease when they're newly planted or when they're fully grown. They can also get sick while you're offline. Each plant in the game has varying risks to being sick.

While it's completely unavoidable, you can reduce the risks of having your plants develop diseases by doing the following:

  • Plant different flowers around your plans. Fully grown flowers can protect allotment patches from diseases.
  • Build a scarecrow near your allotment patches.
  • Complete My Arm's Big Adventure and making Friends with My Arm to unlock farming plots that can't get diseases.
  • To prevent diseases in Hosidius patches, complete the easy tiers of the Kouren and Kebos Diary.
  • Get 16,000 Glory in the Fortis Colosseum to get the Champion status. With this, there will be a patch in Civitas illa Fortis that will be immune to disease.
  • Finish the Elite Falador Diary to make the tree patch in Falador Park immune to disease.
  • Pay farmers near farming patches to watch over the crops as they grow. This method doesn't work on mushroom and belladonna patches.

Growth Timing

The growth timing of the crops in the game aren't that important actually but if you want to get the most out of your offline and online time in the game, knowing the growth timing is important. For a better idea of how it works, here are a few key details to consider:

  1. Discrete Growth Stages: Each crop, whether it's a tree, herb, or other plant, has a set number of discrete growth stages. These stages advance at regular intervals known as growth ticks.
  2. Frequency of Growth: This depends on the type of seed you're using. For example, some plants have relatively long growth stages, while others have shorter ones. Spirit trees, for instance, have growth stages that last 320 minutes, while hops have stages that last only 10 minutes.
  3. Shortest Growth Stage: The shortest growth stage duration is 5 minutes. This includes activities like flowers blooming, weeds growing, and tree seedlings maturing into saplings.
  4. Offset and Player Variability: This is a bit more complex than the other factors. This factor is determined by the time it takes for you to log in and it varies from player to player. You can find this by checking out a certain crop and taking note of when it grows to the next stage. Compare it with other crops.

Think as if you're growing a mahogany. It will grow to the next stage on 10:28 AM on Day 1 and the standard pattern indicates a growth tick at 10:40 AM, subtracting 12 minutes from each listed time will help you adjust for your offset.

Farming Tools

These items are necessary for Farming in OSRS. Aside from helping you with training, these can significantly make the farming process easier.

ItemDescription
RakeUsed to eradicate weeds from a plot.
SpadeThe best tool for farming. used to remove bushes and plant roots, harvest crops, and remove dead plants.

Watering can

Gricoller's can

Used to water plants, helping to keep them disease-free throughout their whole growth cycle. Waters tree seedlings with it as well.

Gricoller's are capable of holding 1,000 uses of water as opposed to just 8.

Seed dibberUsed in a plot to plant seeds.
Gardening trowelUsed for both adding soil to plant pots and sowing tree seeds to produce saplings.

Secateurs

Magic secateurs

Used to trim unhealthy leaves off of plants and trees.

Most variable yields are increased when magic secateurs are worn or kept in stock.

Empty sackHolds ten veggies at a time (onions, potatoes, and cabbages).
Empty plant potUsually left over after a sapling is planted in a fruit tree or tree patch; must be refilled before use.
Filled plant potUsed in conjunction with a trowel to sow tree seeds, which, when being moistened, yield tree seedlings that can then be placed in patches.
Plant cureTreats a sick plant (not just bushes and trees).

OSRS Farming Training

Tree runs are the best method to use as it gives you passive Farming experience. If you're not actively looking to get Farming to level 99 fast, then this is definitely one of the most efficient ways to train.

Before anything else though, let's talk about doing a few quests first.

  5. Talk with him again after you've finished reading the book he handed you.
  6. On the soil area, apply three buckets of Ugthanki dung and seven buckets of supercompost.
  7. Speak with My Arm.
  8. Converse with Captain Barnaby.

Getting the tubers

Required Items: If you already have 60% favor in Tai Bwo Wannai, you won't need anything. If not, you'll need at least 60 coins or a machete, which you can buy from the store located north-west of the village.

Reminder: You will lose the 60% here, so if you intend to finish the Karamja medium task diary, you might want to think about obtaining 100% favor beforehand.

  1. Meet My Arm east of the general store at Tai Bwo Wannai. Speak with him.
  2. Speak with Murcaily next to the hardwood forest. Make sure that you have a minimum of one empty inventory space.
  • Log out and back in again if you are unable to locate Murcaily.
  • You can't begin the quest if you don't have 60% favor, so increase it to at least 60% and speak with him once again.
  1. You will take the boat back to Ardougne, where you can reach the bank, after you chat with My Arm during the cutscene.

Teaching a troll to farm

Required Items: 17 coins or a rake, hardy gout tubers, seed dibber, plat cure, spade, climbing roots, supercompost or ultracompost, and food.

  1. Get ready for a battle at level 75 and another at level 172.
  2. Use the ladder in the west room on the higher level, where the Troll Generals are, to return to the roof of the Troll Stronghold.

Reminder: You can pick up a spade from the Tool leprechaun if you don't have one yet.

  1. Speak with My Arm.
  2. Hand over the tools needed for farming to My Arm in this order:
  • Rake
  • Supercompost/Ultracompost (optional)
  • Hardy gout tubers
  • Seed dibber
  • Plant cure
  1. Speak with My Arm.
  2. Fight the two monsters

Reminder: You can move back and forth between tiles to avoid the Giant Roc's attacks, but you cannot avoid its stun attack.

The end

  1. Speak with My Arm.
  2. Hand him a spade (you can make the leprechaun reappear by going back down and up the ladder if you don't have one).
  3. Head back to Burntmeat in the kitchen.
  4. Go to the roof and speak with My Arm.

Doing all seven quests will reward you with 32,500 XP among other things. The best reward is that you'll be able to skip a significant amount of low-level Farming which is honestly a drag.

Level 38-99: Tree Runs

Doing tree runs is the best method to getting to 99 Farming. This involves planting high-tier saplings, letting them grow, and then checking their health to gain XP. Once done, you'll have to have pay a farmer to remove the tree, after which, you simply have to plant a new one.

Due to the way growth timing works in the game, you can only do at least 1 or 2 tree runs per day. Despite this, you're still getting the most amount of XP. The method itself is pretty passive and it's something you can do before logging out of the game. By our estimate, you can take up to 3-4 months to get to 99, if you stay consistent.

Recommended Tree Run Set Up

If you want to maximize your Farming XP growth as much as possible, follow our recommended tree run set up.

  1. Head to Falador Park and look for the tree patch. Check the health, have the tree removed, and replant it. You're going to do these steps for all the following trees.
  2. Next, go to Taverley and look for the tree patch there.
  3. Next, go to Lumbridge and leave the city via the western exit. There's a tree patch in the northern area.
  4. Go to Varrock, run north and then north east for the tree patch.
  5. Use your Slayer Ring to go to the Stronghold Cave and there should be a tree patch nearby.
  6. From Stronghold Cavem head northeast until you get to the Spirit Tree for the next tree patch.
  7. With the Spirit Tree teleport, head to the Tree Gnome village. Go southwest and look for the fence where you can squeeze through. Talk to Elkoy and have him direct you to the next tree patch.
  8. Teleport to Catehrby and head east. There should be a tree patch near the fishing spots.
  9. Go to Brimhaven with a house teleport. Look for the fruit tree patch here.
  10. Use the Digsite pendant or the Digstire teleport. Head to the barge from where you are and use quick travel to get to Fossil Island. There should be a few hardwood tree patches north of there.

Just follow this route at least once or twice a day to get Farming XP.

Money-Making Using Farming in OSRS

Once you've reached level 99, there are a lot of things you can do with the Farming Skill. Of course, you're probably here because you want to get rich with Farming. There are a few methods to earn money using Farming.

Growing Magic Saplings

This is one of the easiest ways to make money with saplings which can net you around 569,000 every 10 minutes.. Follow these steps.

  1. Acquire magic seeds from the Grand Exchange. For maximum efficiency, just stock up on magic seeds first before proceeding to the next step. You can only buy a limited amount of these so you can save time by stocking up.
  2. To start planting the seeds, use a magic seed on a filled plant pot with a gardening trowel in your inventory. This process will create a seedling.
  3. When all the plant pots are filled with magic seeds and turned into seedlings, cast the Humidify spell to water them. Doing this method makes them turn into saplings in 5 minutes.
  4. Just repeat steps 1 to 3 which can result in around 1,700 per hour.
  5. You can manually water the saplings with watering cans but this will take more time. However, you won't need runes to cast Humidify at least.
  6. Stock up on as many saplings as you can before selling them on the Grand Exchange.

It's essential to keep in mind that growing magic saplings or other seeds for profit may have relatively small margins, and the Grand Exchange tax can eat into your profits. Therefore, consider using various seeds and overnight trading to optimize your profits.

You can also do the same for palm saplings. While the yield is smaller, the requirement level for farming them is much lower.

Farming Various Herbs

  • Potential Profit: 88,000-259,000/6 mins.

Farming herbs is a profitable way to spend a few minutes at a time in OSRS. Here's a guide on how to do it effectively:

Requirements

Magic secateurs (recommended for a 10% boost to crop yield).

Herb seeds (as high as your current Farming level permits you.

Runes for teleportation.

Steps

  1. Start your herb run at any herb patch. Make sure you have any additional supplies needed, and withdraw them from the tool leprechaun at each patch.
  2. Use a teleportation method to move between herb patches quickly.
  3. At each herb patch, check the health of the crop, harvest the grimy ranarr weed, and replant the seed.
  4. If you have access to the Lunar Spellbook from Lunar Diplomacy, you can use the Fertile Soil spell (83 Magic) instead of Ultracompost. This will increase the profit per patch to 28,001 coins. It's a viable option if you prefer using the Lunar Spellbook.

To increase your profits further, consider the following:

  • Attune an Amulet of Nature to one of your herb patches to check the growth status.
  • Use the Geomancy spell to monitor the health of your patches.
  • Plant Anima plants like Iasor, Kronos, or Attas (76 Farming required) to reduce disease rates, decrease crop growth time, or increase yield, respectively.
  • If you've completed Dream Mentor and have 83 Magic (or can boost to it), you can use Fertile Soil. This spell can save you some inventory space and make the process more efficient. However, it's more expensive than Ultracompost. Using Fertile Soil can be more profitable if it helps reduce your overall run time.

After planting in each patch, move on to the next one. You can choose the order in which you visit the patches based on your preferences and the teleportation methods you have available.

You can do this for various herbs depending on your level.

Start A Bountiful Harvest

Farming might not be as cool as the Attack, Range, or Magic Skill tree in OSRS but that doesn't make it any less important. In fact, this might just be one of the most important Skills out there as it can make you rich in the lands of Gielinor pretty quickly. Hopefully, this guide makes that training journey a lot easier.
