### <span style="color: #008000;"><u>Why should I skill farming?</u></span>

<span style="color: #008000;">Farming is a really useful Skill, which helps you to get your Potions that you **cant** buy from <u>“Food &amp; Potion shop” at ::home</u>, such as Super Combat Potions, Anti-venom or Overload. Further it is a cheaper method to get your Prayer Potions, Restore Potions, Saradomins Brews etc..</span>

### <span style="color: #008000;"><u>Basics</u></span>

<span style="color: #008000;">First of all you click on the “Book” Sign on your interface at the right side on your Launcher and then on “Skilling Teleports -&gt; Farming”</span>

<span style="color: #008000;">You can get your Equipment from the Farming &amp; Herb shop: You need 1x Watering Can, 1x </span><span style="color: #008000;">Spade, 1x Seed Dibber, Plant cures, Compost and your seeds! (Starting off with Guam Seeds)   
  
<span style="text-decoration: underline;">**Special information for Ironmen:** </span>  
Since the Farming store is capped so Ironmen cant buy seeds, they have to know the alternatives:  
**1. Master Farmer:**  
Pickpocketing the Master farmer will give you a bit of every seeds. You'll receive mostly low lvl seeds but also useful seeds such as ranarr seeds. You can also get the high lvl seeds such as snapdragon, lantadyme, and torstol but theyre pretty rare.  
  
**2. Dragon implings:**  
Besides alot of supplies for fletching such as dragon dart tips and arrow tips, dragon bones and dragonstone, they also drop  
snapdragon seeds.  
  
**3. Cave Horrors/Kurasks/Aberrant Spectres/Nechryaels:**  
Slayers Monsters are also are a good alternative to farm seeds. They drop higher tier seeds such as lantadyme, cantadine and torstol pretty frequently depending on your droprate.

<span style="color: #008000;">After that you are ready to go!</span><u></u>

*Editors note: This guide is based around farming herb patches, as at the time of creation of this guide, the only way to train farming was herblore farming. Late 2020, tree and fruit tree farming was added. While these take a lot longer to grow, they give a lot more XP, making them one of the best training methods in the game.*

### <span style="color: #008000;"><u>Farming runs!</u></span>

<span style="color: #008000;">This is my Farm run Setup:</span>

[![image-1592158007198.png](https://wiki.runerealm.org/uploads/images/gallery/2020-06/scaled-1680-/image-1592158007198.png)](https://wiki.runerealm.org/uploads/images/gallery/2020-06/image-1592158007198.png)

<span style="color: #008000;">I run this Setup: because I used to </span><span style="color: #008000;">farm for Torstols and bank them.</span>  
<span style="color: #008000;"> </span>

<span style="color: #008000;">**BUT**!: If you only need the XP you can </span><span style="color: #008000;">fill your Inventory with Compost </span><span style="color: #008000;">and plant cure so the Herbs just dropping</span><span style="color: #008000;"> to the ground.  
</span>

<span style="color: #008000;"> </span><span style="color: #008000;">  
</span>

**<span style="color: #008000;">So what you do is:</span>**

1. **<span style="color: #008000;">Use the Compost on the Patch</span>**
2. **<span style="color: #008000;">Use the Seed on the Patch</span>**
3. **<span style="color: #008000;">Use the Watering can on the Patch (be careful that there is Water in it, otherwise the plant will not grow.)</span>**
4. **<span style="color: #008000;">Repeat</span>**

<span style="color: #008000;">Herb seeds Farming LVL Requirements:</span>

<span style="color: #008000;">Guam LVL 1  
Marrentill LVL 10  
Tarromin LVL 19  
Harralander LVL 26  
Ranarr LVL 32  
Toadflax LVL 38  
Irit LVL 44  
Avantoe LVL 50  
Kwuarm LVL 56  
Snapdragon LVL 62  
Cadantine LVL 67  
Lantadyme LVL 73  
Dwarf Weed LVL 79  
Torstol LVL 85</span>

<span style="color: #008000;"> </span>

<span style="color: #008000;">Sometimes it happens that the Herb gets diseased during the growth period. If that happens you have to click on it, while you have a **Plant cure** in your inventory.</span>

[![image-1592158296928.png](https://wiki.runerealm.org/uploads/images/gallery/2020-06/scaled-1680-/image-1592158296928.png)](https://wiki.runerealm.org/uploads/images/gallery/2020-06/image-1592158296928.png)

<span style="color: #008000;">**Careful!:**</span>

<span style="color: #008000;">**If you wait for too long, the Herb dies and you lose your xp..**</span>

##### <span style="color: #008000;"> </span>

<span style="color: #008000;">Firemaking: Add a Tinderbox to your Farming Setup and use the empty Spaces in your inventory for the logs.</span>

<span style="color: #008000;">Same with fletching but only change the tinderbox to a knife.</span>
