Farming is a skill in which players grow crops using seeds and harvest useful items from them, or more commonly, harvest the plant itself. The crops grown range from the standard staples of vegetables, fruit trees, herbs, hops, to more exotic and unusual crops such as wood-bearing trees, cacti, and mushrooms. The harvested items have wide range of uses, but are mostly used to train Herblore, or simply eaten as food. Many players sell their harvest for a significant profit.

Once players have reached the intermediate level range and beyond, they can begin to plant wood-bearing trees. Player grown trees function just like their standard equivalents, which can be chopped down and dug up to retrive the tree's roots. The tree roots are used to make crossbows. Planting trees is the quickest way to 99 farming.

Useful Magic

The Lunar spellbook offers three spells that may be useful in farming: Cure plant*, Humidify and Fertile Soil; requiring level 66, level 68 and level 83 Magic respectively. Humidify can be used to water all seedlings in your inventory to speed up the process of making saplings. Fertile Soil is useful as players can just get a stack of the required runes and not have to constantly buy more super compost. *note: using woad plants will prevent herb patches from dying, making plant cure unnecessary.
