Recurring Farming Runs
Herb Patch Runs
Build a repeatable patch circuit for herbs while fitting activity between other goals.
WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Herb Patch Runs
Unlocked herb patches, including Falador, Ardougne, Catherby and Morytania; add Hosidius, Troll Stronghold, Weiss, Farming Guild, Harmony Island or Varlamore as access allows.
Before you go
- Farming level for the herb seed you intend to plant and access to chosen patches.
- Herb seeds, compost, spade and seed dibber.
- Travel items for your route and inventory space for harvested herbs.
Farming steps
- Choose a herb and list patches you can reach, noting quest or diary gates.
- Visit each patch with seeds and tools; harvest a mature crop if one is ready.
- Use the tool leprechaun to note harvested herbs where available, then replant your chosen seed.
- Apply compost for crop support and check that planting is complete before leaving.
- Continue through the route and bank or retain the harvest according to your goal.
- Return after the growth cycle and repeat the harvest and replant circuit.
- Start with reachable patches and add remote ones when their unlocks make the detour practical.
- Use the route to gather herbs without assuming fixed profit; seed and herb prices change.
Repeat, collect and use
Repeat after each crop growth cycle. A patch cannot be harvested again immediately, and the number of herbs varies.
Common mistakes
- Visiting a patch you have not unlocked; verify access before planning the circuit.
- Leaving without replanting or applying planned compost; check each patch before moving on.
- Expecting fixed profit or yield; treat both as variable and judge the run by your current goal.
When to stop or switch
Stop when all ready patches are harvested and replanted, or when remaining destinations add more travel than the run is worth.
