Making Money With Farming

Written By Deadazer
Special Thanks to Drikam

Farming is an overlooked way to make money, and it takes time and patience. I highly recommend you making, buying or trading supplies to someone that can make garden pies. They give +3 farming and will make Farming go by much faster.

Warning: If you are looking for a fast way to make money this is not it. If you are looking for the fastest way to get from 1 to 99 farming this is not it either.

Helpful Hints What to Grow

Helpful Hints

1. Chain farming ~ Farm all 4 plots, just plant/check each plot then teleport to the next.
2. Find a high level herblorist that will make you potions, very easy to do, some will even give the seconds for free.
3. Do as many quests that give farming experience as you can.
4. Get 60gp then go on the boat to Brimhaven then pick 25 pineapples and bank then in Ardougne. Then use the pineapples for Super Compost.
5. If you are just starting out farming then if you have the thieving level go pickpocket Master Farmers for 1 or 2 hours before you start. This will give you the seeds for many farming levels.
6. Always use Super Compost unless you are planting flowers.
7. Don't water herbs. They don't need it and it just wastes water.
8. Use Garden Pies to get +3 farming levels.

For farming basics see the Farming Guide.
