Farming: Difference between revisions

{{V|0.18.0}}

 

Farming is a [[Skill]] used to grow seeds into [[food]], herbs or [[Woodcutting#Logs|logs]].  

{{ItemIcon|Aorpheat's Signet Ring}}, {{ItemIcon|Weird Gloop}} and {{ItemIcon|Generous Harvest Potion IV|Generous Harvest Potions}} can increase the number 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.

Equipping {{ItemIcon|Bob's Rake}} provides a 20% chance that {{ItemIcon|Compost}} or {{ItemIcon|Weird Gloop}} is retained in a plot when harvested.

* Planting a seed will grant the player that seed's base experience value

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.

The bonus from Larry is applied after other bonuses to harvest quantity, including the double harvest from [[Generous Harvest Potion]]s.

The player will originally only have access to a single allotment plot. Additional plots are unlocked by levelling up Farming and must be purchased with [[GP]]. Below are tables outlining the level requirements and costs for the plots:

=== Allotments ===

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, unless mastery level 50 has been reached. 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.
