Farming Guide

Your route from first steps to mastery.

Gathering & production · Both worlds

Master Farming

Farming rewards planning: plant suitable crops, protect them, then return to harvest or check health. Tree health checks give large single rewards while herbs supply Herblore.

World 1: 50× normal XP. World 2: 100× normal XP. Reference values below show base XP and the normal world-scaled amount, before any activity-specific modifiers.

Before you begin

  • Rake, spade, seed dibber and appropriate seeds
  • Compost or supercompost; a watering can where needed
  • For trees: watered seedlings grown into saplings and optional protection payments

Your training route

From first steps to mastery

These level bands are recommendations, not extra unlock requirements. Where an option unlocks partway through a band, keep using the earlier method until you reach it.

  1. Levels1–15

    Allotments and early flowers

    Begin with potatoes, then onions at 5, cabbages at 7 and tomatoes at 12. Clear patches, compost, plant and return to tend or harvest them.

  2. Levels15–30

    Oak trees and early herbs

    Oak saplings unlock at 15. Add herb patches and available allotments to your route; check the health of fully grown trees before replacing them.

  3. Levels30–45

    Willow trees and fruit-tree runs

    Willows unlock at 30; apples at 27, bananas at 33 and oranges at 39 expand fruit-tree options. Keep protection payments ready where you choose to use them.

  4. Levels45–60

    Maples, herbs and better fruit trees

    Maples unlock at 45, pineapple at 51 and papaya at 57. Use crop runs between combat or other skills rather than standing beside a growing patch.

  5. Levels60–75

    Yews and palm trees

    Yews unlock at 60 and palms at 68. Check health for the main tree XP reward, and continue herbs for useful potion ingredients.

  6. Levels75–99

    Magic trees and sustainable mixed runs

    Magic trees unlock at 75 and award 13,768.3 base check-health XP. Choose affordable trees and run herb patches alongside them.

Field notes

  • The reference table separates planting, harvest and check-health XP; they are not the same reward.
  • A high world XP rate does not mean every crop grows instantly.
  • Disease, protection payments and patch type still matter. Do not put a fruit-tree sapling into a normal tree patch.
