Runescape Farming Guide - Allotments [HD]
Tips, Tricks
This video shows one way in which you can complete an allotment farming run. An allotment run involves planting and harvesting the allotment patches. Allotments give fairly decent experience, especially for lower-levelled farmers, and the seeds are usually very cheap and easily bought from other players. The harvests, however, are also usually very cheap but the experience gained is pretty good for the cost involved. --------------------------------------------------- In this guide, I am also planting herb seeds and creating supercompost. These are optional but highly recommended for any farmer for the profit involved. Compost is made by putting 15 of a type of harvest into the compost bin and then shutting the lid. After about 1-2 hours, the compost will have decomposed and you can retrieve it. To get the compost, you'll need 15 empty buckets and the game will automatically fill them until the bin is empty. Compost is made with various low level allotments and weeds whilst supercompost is made with watermelons, pineapples, papayas or some berries (most commonly). Making regular compost on an allotment run is not recommended unless you have a low farming level, and even then you are probably better off not bothering at all. Supercompost is best done with watermelon seeds planted, but if you aren't growing these then you can instead bring 15 of one of the required items (to each bin) and do it that way instead. Making supercompost is a pretty good way for poorer players to earn a more money on their allotment runs. Herb patches are also highly recommended as soon as possible as herbs are almost always profitable. When using supercompost, roughly 1/8 plants will die (also depends on farming level) but on average you get around 5-7 herbs per patch. Factoring in all this, herbs are generally considered a great way for all farmers to make quick and easy money, especially those who are poorer. You could also plant flowers in the flower patch, but this is not shown in the video for the protection that they offer to the allotment patch. --------------------------------------------------- To plant an allotment, you will need 3 seeds per patch (so 24 in total for the 8 patches). Here is a list of the different allotments: Potato - Level 1 Farming, Onion - Level 5 Farming, Cabbage - Level 7 Farming, Tomato - Level 12 Farming, Sweetcorn - Level 20 Farming, Strawberry - Level 31 Farming, Watermelon - Level 47 Farming. As a basic rule, you should plant the best possible allotment that you can in order to get the most experience. --------------------------------------------------- You can protect your allotments by planting a certain fully-grown flower in the flower patch (some flowers only protect certain allotments). Marigold - Level 2 Farming - protects potatoes, onions and tomatoes, Rosemary - Level 11 Farming - protects cabbages, Nasturtium - Level 24 Farming - protects watermelons, Woad - Level 25 Farming - protects nothing, Limpwurt - Level 26 Farming - protects nothing but profitable, White Lily - Level 52 Farming - protects any allotment. If you don't want to plant a flower to protect your allotment, you can instead pay the master farmers to protect them for you. This will cost you various items, depending on which patch you are at, as shown below: Potato - 2 buckets of compost per patch, Onion - 1 sack of potatoes per patch, Cabbage - 1 sack of onions per patch, Tomato - 2 sacks of cabbages per patch, Sweetcorn - 10 jute fibres per patch, Strawberry - 1 basket of apples per patch, Watermelon - 10 curry leaves per patch. Generally, I do not recommended protecting your allotments by paying the farmers. This is much more useful for things like trees that take a long time to grow and cost a lot. The only allotments worth protecting are watermelons, and for these the curry leaves are quite costly. It is cheaper in the long run to simply let the allotments just die instead. --------------------------------------------------- To get to each patch, there are some ways to go about it: Falador: 1) Explorer's Ring 3/4 cabbage-port (req. Lumbridge medium tasks). 2) Glory amulet teleport to Draynor Village. 3) Falador teleport. Trollheim (optional): 1) Trollheim teleport (req. Eadgar's Ruse). 2) Trollheim teletab (req. Love Story). 3) Games necklace teleport to Burthorpe. Port Phasmatys: 1) Ectophial to Port Phastmatys (req. Ghosts Ahoy!). 2) Canifis teleport (req. Desert Treasure and 55 Magic). 3) Slayer ring to Slayer Tower. Ardougne: 1) Ardougne Cloak 2/3/4 farm teleport (req. Ardougne medium tasks). 2) Skills necklace to Fishing Guild. 3) Ardougne teleport. Catherby: 1) Camelot teleport. 2) Catherby teleport (req. Lunar Diplomacy and 87 Magic). --------------------------------------------------- Rate and Comment please, all your feedback is much appreciated. Subscribe for future Runescape videos.

I love watching your guides. Even though I already know all of it already it is still enjoyable :)
-
how long do watermelons take to grow?
-
Without a doubt, this is the best allotment guide out there. Well done!
-
lol, too bad, unfortunately, there's no way to undo that mistake. I've done it many, many times myself.

getting the magical watering can is a pain! look at the quest. all 3 fairytales
-
HEy man one question do you ever pay the farmers for protection?
-
@adamchrome tysm ill try it tomorrow n see if it works :)
-
@spidetexas Plant a bit of everything. The best allotment you can, the highest herb you can (probably guam is better than marrentill because guam are worth more I think), the best flower you can (but I'd go marigolds as they're also worth quite a bit. if you have 15 farming and 15 woodcutting, you can do oak trees which give about 500 xp or so each growth, which is like 3 hours or something, so you could do that twice a day.
-
@adamchrome just u need 23 farming to make a scarecrow wat do i grow untill 23, marrentill?
-
@spidetexas No, not all flowers will protect sweetcorn. For sweetcorn to be protected from the flower patch, there must be a scarecrow planted or white lily. Everything else can still be grown in the flower patch but will offer no protection for the sweetcorn as it grows.
-
so when you have 20 farming you should grow sweetcorn, just a question, did u forget to write a flower protects sweetcorn or is tht the only allotment that cant be protected? cuz im a noob and never farmed be4 so can you plz answer?
-
amazing guide but for the description where u exsplain how to get to the catherby patch. includ the catherby broke tele tab. its the fastest way
-
nice vid it has helped me with my farming alot and woah almost hit the dislike button. keep it up :)
-
@XBLNathan That depends if the flower (in this case, White lily) survives. You can't pay the farmer to protect flowers, so you may want extra seeds just in case the flower dies. Once they're all grown, you can leave them alive and their effects will last forever unless you pick them.
