Farming

With the Farming skill, you are able to grow all kinds of trees and herbs. Farming is also very rewarding for a number of skills such as: Woodcutting, Herblore, Fletching, and Firemaking.

Farming patches

Most, if not all patches in Emps-World are functional.
There is a tree patch in Falador park, north-east of the teleport spot in Al-Kharid , in the garden of Varrock palace, near the White wolf mountain in Catherby, west of Lumbridge castle and north-west of the teleport spot in Rimmington, in Taverley by the lake, north-west of Camelot, in the Tree gnome stronghold, north of Brimhaven and north of Tai Bwo Wannai .

You can find 12 herb patches north of Catherby, 3 south of Barbarian, 10 near the farm south-east of Falador. Herb patches are also found east and north-east of Canifis, north of Ardougne, inside Yanille and at Wedding.

Farming tools

To begin farming, you will need to buy the required farming tools from the Leprechaun who is located next to most farming patches. You will need a plant pot to put a tree seed in, a watering can to water your crops (you can refill it at the waterpump in Falador), a rake to rake your crops, a spade to dig up your fully grown trees, a seed dibber to plant herb seeds and a trowel to plant tree saplings.

Compost heap

The compost heap allow players to collect 50 bucket of compost per day. Allowing a soft start and progression through the journey of the farming skill.

How to obtain seeds

Seeds can be obtained through slaying various monsters. However, the most effective method to get herb and tree seeds of any tier, except for fellstalks and spirit seeds which can only be obtained through pvming, is with the help of the thieving skill. Regular farmers will grant all the lower tiers while master farmers will give all the higher tier of seeds.

Growing trees

Get your tree seeds from almost any monster in Emps.

Use a tree seed on a plant pot and then use a filled watering can on the plant pot to get a sapling. Use the sapling with a trowel while standing near a tree patch to plant it. You can also use the sapling on the mud in the patch. This action does not grant you experience yet.

Come back once in a while (a stage takes 4 min) to check on it to see if it needs raking (with a rake from the Leprechaun) or watering. Every time you rake, you will be given 520 Farming experience, and every time you water something, you will be given 525 Farming experience. Every tree has about 10 to 12 stages. During these stages, you will need to rake or water your tree. The last stage will automatically give you the last batch of Farming experience (harvest experience). Use a spade on the tree to remove it or dig close to the tree patch. You can also cut it for logs first if you want to, then remove the stump with a spade. After that you can plant a new tree again.

*Note: you will not be able to cut down the spirit tree, it'll just stop displaying a message to rake or water it when it is finished.

Growing herbs

Player simply have to click the farming patche they wanna sow while having a seed with a seed dibber in their inventory. After 4 minutes your herbs will grow into a new stage, and you have to rake or water it to start the next stage. Every time you rake you will be given 520 Farming experience, and every time you water it you will be given 525 Farming experience.

You will receive farming experience when your herb is fully grown and per herb harvested. Most herbs have 5 stages of about 4 minutes to grow before they reach maturity. Herbs generally grant anywhere between 4 to 8 herbs per patch and for every level above the plantation requirement, players will receive 5% more harvest for up to 16 herbs per patch. Therefor, it might be worthwhile to farm a lower tier of herb to gain more experience per patch. Players can use the herb sack to stock all their freshly picked up herbs instead of running back and forth to banks. Leprechauns will note all herbs inside a players inventory if they are used on him.

Be careful as herbs can get deceased and die if you leave them unattended for too long (over 64 minutes)! If the herbs die, you will need to clear them with a spade and plant new ones, you will not receive any experience for this. You can use Lunar spellbook spell cure plant, this action revives your died plants and grants you 10 Farming experience. Herbs that are already fully grown will not die if you leave them unattended.
