Farming

[Patrick43809]

Well I am unable to get on to a World in runescape (I believe it is a mixture of lack of patients and lack of a good pc) so I am curious to how the farming skill is (please dont be to detailed just pros and cons of it) *I forgot to check if there is a post similar to this sorry mods and admins :(, I request it to be deleted if there is* :D

well patrick it is cool, from what i hear i still havent gotten my account back but should get it by tomorrow or wednesday, cant wait to train with you again, l8er

[Patrick43809]

yea I gotta get some more mystic (I died and lost gloves and boots and I have never owned the top half of the robes) and I need to buy some more deaths and chaos runes or make some minds LOL

[Iron]

lol, sounds good, you still mining the coal for skull or what?

[xxskullxx]

I'm hoping so....

[Iron]

lol, i am helping him get the coal myself skull, lol, i think i might have some in the bank for him right now too, lol

[Wayne]

If everyone on nomad mined coal I doubt we could mine more than Skulls wants. =]

[Iron]

well, i dont know, one full day of mining coal at the guild or coal trucks, i bet we could do it easily

[Mijna]

wow, in a thread about farming only the first post had to do with it, im like you patrick, i cant get on either so i just have to wait and do lots of research on nomad and runescape to imagine what it is like

[michelelee]

nah.. skull has this unlimited need for coal.. there is never ENOUGH..

[Wayne]

For coal... say twenty of us mined like 10k a day (500 per person) and sold it all to skull for 150ea. He'd take those coal for 1.5mil, use them to smith and then high-alch what he made, the next day he'd use the money he got from high-alching the stuff before to buy the next 10k coal. Heck, he might even gain money.

For farming... I think it'll be cool but I still haven't got it all figured out. Crops take a while to grow, anywhere from 15 to 90 minutes depending on what you planted (vegetables don't take that long, but trees do. Herbs seem to be between the two, guams take 70 minutes to grow, eh). That's probably about it, except you don't need near as many seeds banked as we all thought. I had 476 potato seeds and used like 9 of them before I was passed onions all together and up to cabbage, go figure.

[Mijna]

you can still plant them to get exp, poor skull with his 4k potato seeds and only needing less then 1% of that

[Wayne]

only problem is you can't get rid of them until they're dead or grown, so he can't power plant.

[Mijna]

yeah, now that i know how small the fields are, potato seeds seem worthless really quick

[dragonx3.14]

yeah, and there are only 8 veggie patches, 2 for each main place

[Wayne]

I never even used any of my 300 or so onions. We didn't need a month to prepare for this, they could have released seeds and farming simultaneously.

[Mijna]

i guess you could use them for the high lvls when you run out of thoes seeds

[dragonx3.14]

that would be like using air strike instead of wind blast

[Mijna]

but if you have none of the big seeds and it takes along time to get them, you might as well use the potatos or onions or whatever while you pickpocket

[dragonx3.14]

yes but by then (then when everyone either gets sick of farming or very high lvls) there will be tons of good seeds circulating
