Advancing this skill will allow you to produce higher-tier equipment, granting you a greater advantage in {{Icon|Combat}} when using {{Icon|Melee}} and {{Skill|Ranged}} styles.

You can {{Skill|Farming|Farm}} and complete other tasks simultaneously, Fertilizing, Planting, and Harvesting do not interrupt other skills. Farming is one of the most time-efficient ways to obtain [[food]], which is used for healing in {{Icon|Combat}}. Farming is the main way to obtain the [[Farming#Herbs_2|Herbs]] that are used in potion brewing with {{Skill|Herblore}}.
{{Skill|Farming}} is a passive, long-term skill that allows you to grow crops, herbs, and trees in the background while performing other tasks. Fertilizing, planting, and harvesting do not interrupt other skills. Farming is one of the most time-efficient ways to obtain [[food]], which is used for healing in {{Icon|Combat}}. Farming is the main way to obtain the [[Farming#Herbs_2|Herbs]] that are used in potion brewing with {{Skill|Herblore}}.


[[Farming#Seeds|Seeds]] planted without [[Compost| fertilizer]] have a 50% chance to yield crops after growing. To increase the chance of their survival, you need to fertilize the them with {{ItemIcon|Compost}}. Each Compost used on a [[Farming#Seeds|Seed]] will increase its survival chance by 10%, raising your [[Compost]] Level to 5 will guarantee your crops survive. Compost must be used every time a seed is planted to have an effect. Any crop that reaches [[Mastery|Mastery Level]] 50 will always survive without [[Compost]], and any crop of Mastery 70 or herb of Mastery 50 will yield enough seeds on average to be replanted endlessly.

To start Farming, you will need [[Farming#Seeds|Seeds]]. Three seeds are needed for a single crop, two for herbs, and one for trees. The most efficient way to gather sedds early on is to fight {{MonsterIcon|Junior Farmer|Junior}}, {{MonsterIcon|Adult Farmer|Adult}}, or {{MonsterIcon|Master Farmer}}, in the [[Farmlands]]. You can also get seeds from the {{ItemIcon|Bird Nest|Bird Nests}} found during {{Skill|Woodcutting}}. It is recommended to start leveling Farming early because it's quite lengthy.

===== Fletching =====
===== Fletching =====


{{Skill|Fletching}} is used to make [[Equipment#Ranged_6|bows]], [[Fletching#Gem-Tipped_Bolts|bolts]] and [[Equipment#Arrows|arrows]].
{{Skill|Fletching}} allows you to create {{Skill|Ranged}} weapons and ammunition. This includes {{Icon|Normal Shortbow|type=item|notext=true}}{{Icon|Normal Longbow|type=item|notext=true}} [[Equipment#Ranged_6|Bows]] which fire {{Icon|Steel Arrows|type=item|notext=true}} [[Equipment#Arrows|Arrows]] using both hands, {{Icon|Steel Crossbow|type=item|notext=true}} [[Equipment#Crossbows|Crossbows]] which fire {{Icon|Topaz Bolts|type=item|notext=true}} [[Equipment#Bolts|Bolts]] using one hand, and {{Icon|Steel Javelin|type=item|notext=true}} [[Equipment#Javelins|Javelins]] which are thrown using one hand. [[Fletching]] primarily depends on {{Skill|Woodcutting}} and {{Skill|Smithing}} for raw materials, with higher-tier materials from both skills being needed to create better [[Equipment#Crossbows|Crossbows]] and [[Equipment#Javelins|Javelins]]. It also depends on the {{Icon|Shop}} for {{Icon|Bowstring|type=item}} used in creating weaponry.


Fletching {{ItemIcon|Magic Longbow|Magic Longbows}} is one of the decent [[Money Making]] strategies, although this method requires {{SkillReq|Fletching|99}} to realize its true potential.
Training your [[Fletching]] skill allows you to create more powerful equipment, which increases the effectiveness of your [[Ranged]] attacks during {{Icon|Combat}}.


===== Crafting =====
===== Crafting =====


{{Skill|Crafting}} is used to make Leather/Hide Armour, Rings, and Necklaces. Leather and Hide Armour is used to boost the power of {{Skill|Ranged}} attacks. Using {{Skill|Crafting}} to turn [[Smithing#Bars|Bars]] and [[Mining#Gems|Gems]] into Rings and Amulets is less profitable than just selling the raw materials.
{{Skill|Crafting}} allows you to create {{Icon|Hard Leather Body|type=item|notext=true}} [[Crafting#Leather_Armour|Leather Armour]] and {{Icon|Green D-hide Body|type=item|notext=true}} [[Crafting#Dragonhide|Dragonhide Armour]] for protection and bonuses during {{Skill|Ranged}} combat, {{Icon|Gold Ruby Necklace|type=item|notext=true}} [[Crafting#Rings|Jewelry]] for bonuses during general [[Combat]], and {{Icon|Runecrafting Pouch|type=item|notext=true}} [[Equipment#Other_5|Pouches]] for resource preservation during skilling. The skill is generally better at providing utility to the player instead of flat profit from its products. Training your [[Crafting]] skill allows you to create more powerful {{Skill|Ranged}} armour to increase your effectiveness during {{Icon|Combat}}, and give you access to a wider variety of bonus-providing items.
 
[[Crafting]] primarily depends on {{Icon|Combat}} or the {{Icon|Shop}} for {{Icon|Leather|type=item|notext=true}}{{Icon|Green Dragonhide|type=item|notext=true}} [[Shop#Materials|Hides]] used in armour production, {{Skill|Mining}} and {{Skill|Smithing}} for {{Icon|Diamond|type=item|notext=true}} [[Mining#Gems|Gems]] and {{Icon|Gold Bar|type=item|notext=true}} [[Smithing#Bars|Bars]] used in jewelry production, and {{Skill|Thieving}} for {{Icon|Basic Bag|type=item|notext=true}} [[Crafting#Bags|Bags]] used in pouch production.

The {{ItemIcon|Gold Topaz Ring}} gives +15% gold when defeating monsters. However, this ring has another special effect: every monster you defeat and every skilling action you do has a very small chance of giving you one half of {{ItemIcon|Aorpheats Signet Ring}}.
