{{ItemIcon|Aorpheats Signet Ring}}, {{ItemIcon|Weird Gloop}} and {{ItemIcon|Generous Harvest Potion IV|Generous Harvest Potions}} can increase the amount of Herbs, Crops, and Logs received when harvested. Items which increase crop and herb yields also increase the Farming skill and [[mastery]] experience received.

Raising Farming to level 99 will unlock the {{ItemIcon|Farming Skillcape}} for purchase from the [[Shop]]. Equipping the skillcape increases the harvest quantity from crops by 20% and allows the player to add {{ItemIcon|Compost}} to allotments, herbs, and trees for free.

For example, {{ItemIcon|Potato Seeds}} have a base experience of 8, so if a player plants a plot with Potato Seeds and then harvests 5 {{ItemIcon|Potatoes}}, they will receive 48 total experience: 8 for planting and then 40 for harvesting.

Since experience is tied to number of items harvested, anything that increases the number of items harvested will also increase the amount of experience received.

However, this only applies to herbs and allotments. Trees give a fixed amount of XP for harvesting regardless of how many logs are acquired.

Farming [[Mastery]] impacts many aspects of Farming. 1 Mastery point is given for each allotment/herb/wood harvested. Increased mastery level increases the amount harvested from a plot. At 11 mastery, harvesting herbs and allotments has a chance to return seeds. At 50 mastery, crops, herbs and trees cannot die, and no longer require {{ItemIcon|Compost}}.


Reaching 99 Mastery for a given crop requires 27,570 harvests, assuming no boosts are used to increase harvest quantity.

=== Seed Return Chance ===
=== Seed Return Chance ===
Starting at level 11 Mastery, there is a chance to get seeds back when harvesting herb and allotment plots.
Starting at level 16 Mastery, there is a chance to get seeds back when harvesting herb and allotment plots.
Higher levels of mastery increase the chance and quantity of seeds that are returned. The average number of seeds returned, <math> Q_s </math>, varies with the mastery level, <math> L_m </math> as follows:
Higher levels of mastery increase the chance and quantity of seeds that are returned. The average number of seeds returned, <math> Q_s </math>, varies with the mastery level, <math> L_m </math> as follows:


<math> Q_s = \frac{n}{x} \left (x-\frac{n+1}{2}\right)  </math><br>

<math> n = \left \lfloor x \right \rfloor </math>
<math> n = \left \lfloor x \right \rfloor </math>




This means that at 50 mastery, two seeds are returned on average, and herbs become self sustainable. Reaching 50 Mastery requires a plant to be harvested 436 times, assuming no boosts are used to increase harvest quantity.
This means that at 75 mastery two seeds are returned on average and herbs become self-sustainable. At 99 mastery <math> L_m </math> is replaced with 120, resulting in an average seed return of 3.5 seeds per harvest and making allotments self-sustainable.
 
At 70 mastery, three seeds are returned on average, and allotments become self sustainable. Reaching 70 Mastery requires a plant to be harvested 2,235 times, assuming no boosts are used to increase harvest quantity.

Seeds are required to start Farming and can be acquired from several sources, such as [[Farmer|Thieving]], [[Combat]], or [[Bird Nest|Woodcutting]]. Allotments require three seeds to plant, herbs require two, and trees require one. Seeds planted without [[Compost|fertiliser]] have a 50% chance to yield crops after growing. To increase the chance above 50% seeds must be fertilised using {{ItemIcon|Compost}}. Each {{ItemIcon|Compost}} used on a seed will increase its survival chance by 10%, raising the [[Compost]] Level to 5 will guarantee the crops survive. {{ItemIcon|Compost}} must be used every time a seed is planted to have an effect.

As an alternative to compost players may use {{ItemIcon|Weird Gloop}}. Only 1 Gloop is required to fill the compost bar and prevent crops from dying. In addition it provides a bonus 10% to harvest quantity.
