Farming

**Farming**

 **Farming** is a skill in which players can grow and harvest a wide variety of plants by using seeds obtained from multiple sources. Seeds obtained can be used on plots of land which yield harvest for multiple uses such as for Cooking and Herblore. The amount of produce collected from plots varies dependant on your Farming level.

## Overview

To start farming you need to locate a farming patch which can be found all over OSRune. There are a multitude of patches such as: bushes, hops, herbs, flowers, allotments, trees, and fruit trees. You can't begin farming unless you have seeds which can be obtained from players, monster drops, or pickpocketing. Once you find a patch you may begin clearing away the weeds and proceed to plant your seeds with an optional super/compost addition which decreases the chance of diseased crops.

Seeds can be obtained in many ways such as buying from other players, pickpocketing the Master Farmer located North-East of Edgeville aswell as Draynor Village (38 Thieving required), seed stalls, or obtained from monster drops.

Crops will grow after an elapsed time which consists of different stages. During each of these stages the crops have a chance of getting diseased if this should happen use the Cure Plant Potion or spell via Lunar Spellbook. Once all the stages have completed you will have fully grown crops which will remain in the patch until it's harvested regardless if the player is online.
