There are several ways to collect seeds used in Farming. The majority of seed gatherers will gather in the marketplace of Draynor Village to collect seeds from the stalls, Farmers or the seed shop. There are also other ways to obtain seeds in RuneScape. Olivia She runs the Draynor Seed Market, and she can be found walking around the marketplace. She sells 16 different kinds of seeds, all of which are useful in starting out your Farming skill. Prices range from around 3gp to over 60, depending on the seed. Seed Stalls Farmers & Master Farmers The regular Farmers in fields around RuneScape can be pickpocketed or killed for seeds. They can drop various seeds and all types of Farming equipment. Picking Seeds Picking the plants of some of the regular crops (like Cabbage or Onions) will also give you seeds of that kind of plant. Monsters Killing different types of monsters may also get you some seeds: Woodcutting Giant Moles & Molanisks After killing the Giant Mole, it will drop Mole Skin and Mole Claws. When you take these to Wyson the gardener in Falador Park, he will reward you with a Bird's Nest, which may contain seeds. Molanisks also drop Mole Claws which can be traded for a Bird Nest. If you are wielding a Falador Shield 3 while trading in Mole Skins, you can receive White Lily Seeds. Farming tools used in growing your plants can be found by killing local Farmers. They can also be bought from the several Farming Shops located around RuneScape: Tool-Keeping Leprechauns These jolly-green Leprechauns can be found near Farming patches, and will keep any gardening supplies and tools you give to them. So you no longer need to store your tools in your bank, as they will be kept safe with the Leprechaun, and whenever you need one of your tools, it will be right there for you. You can get your tools back fromany gardening Leprechaun in RuneScape. Leprechauns will also convert any of your harvested crops (including clean herbs) into bank notes. Simply use your crops on him and he will note them for you. There are various Farming Plots located around RuneScape (28 in total), and can easily be found by using the world map on the official RuneScape site. Open the "Overview" and "Key," and go to the last page in the key. Click on the Farming Patch symbol and a yellow dot will blink where a Farming Patch exists. Also, for quick reference, see the Farming Patch Locations Map if you need help! Vegetables, Flowers & Herbs (Allotment) Bushes Regular Trees Fruit Trees Spirit Trees Hops Other Plots Before you can actually grow anything, you need to prepare the plot so that your crops will grow. Be sure to have the following items in your inventory: First, use your Rake to remove any and all weeds from the plot you are going to be using to grow your seeds. There should be 3 layers of weeds the first time you clear a plot, and you will receive 4xp per layer. Over time, the weeds will grow back and you will need to clear the plot again to use it. After removing the weeds, you'll need to use a Bucket of Compost on the plot before any seeds can be planted. You can either buy compost from the Farming Shops for about 20gp, the nearby Gardeners, or you can make your own. You will earn 18 experience for spreading Compost in each plot. Once the compost is in the plot, be sure to be carrying a Seed Dibber in your inventory. Click on a seed and use it with the cleared, nutrient-rich plot to use the Dibber to make a hole and plant the seed. Composts There are 2 different kinds of compost: regular Compost, and Super Composts. The best way to see if an item will make either regular or super compost is to use the item with a nearby Gardener. He will tell you what kind of compost it will make. Note: Using a Tomato on a Compost Bin will not yield compost, but instead a Rotten To make your own compost, you will need to collect various grown materials such as Weeds, grown produce, flowers or others, and place them in a Compost Bin. Once it's full, close the lid and wait for about an hour for it to be ready. You will need 15 empty buckets to collect the compost from the bin. Then you can refill it while watching over your crops! For each bucket of Compost you remove, you'll earn 4.5 Farming experience. Super Compost Super Compost allows for your crops to grow faster and it ensures that your plants are more resistant to disease or dying. They will also yield or grow more produce than using regular Compost. For making Super Compost, you will earn 8.5 Farming experience per bucket you fill. To make your own Super Compost, you'll need to gather 15 materials and use them on the Compost Bin: Any combination of these will yield Super Compost. So, 10 Pineapples, 2 Jangerberries and 3 Watermelons will make Super Compost. However, adding something else will only yield regular compost. for instance, if you add 10 Pineapples, 2 Jangerberries, 2 Watermelons and 1 Potato will only make regular compost. The best way to make Super Compost is by picking or buying Pineapples. You can either pick them from the Pineapple Trees located near Brimhaven, or you can buy them for a few gp from Heckel Funch in the Grand Tree. Now that you have the basics down, it's time to start growing your crops! Be sure to have the following tools in your inventory: Or if you're growing a tree: Don't forget, your crops will continue to grow even after you log out. They grow at a slower rate, but they're still growing! Use your own discretion before leaving. Plant Care Once your seeds have been planted, water them with your Watering Can. Watering your crops is the main objective when looking after them. After a duration of time, they will grow bigger and will not have moist soil. When you see that the soil is no longer wet, water them again. The following plants do not need watering: If your crops become diseased, use your Plant Cure Solution on the plant and it will be cured. Trees and bushes cannot be cured using the solution, so instead, just use your Secateurs to trim away any diseased portions. Be sure to harvest when the crop is ready or it may become Rotten Produce. Click on the crop once it's ready to be harvested and you'll use your spade to harvest it until the plot is empty. To clear away any diseased vegetation, dig it up with your Spade. Vegetable Seeds These seeds are to be planted in an Allotment Patch, and you'll need 3 seeds to plant them. Flower Seeds These seeds are planted in a Flower Patch. Marigolds, Rosemary and Nasturtiums are used to protect allotment crops (see the Protecting Your Plants section below). They require 1 seed to plant. Grow Time: 17.5 minutes Hops Hops need to be planted in a Hops patch, and they require different amounts of time to grow. It seems that the more you water them, the more Hops you'll be able to harvest. To plant a patch of hops, you'll need 4 seeds, with exception to Jute plants which only need 3 seeds. Herb Seeds Herb seeds are to be planted in an Herb Patch. You don't need to water them, and they only require 1 seed to plant. Grow Time: 70 minutes (just over an hour) Bush Seeds Bush seeds are planted in Bush Patches and require 1 seed to plant. Like trees, you can keep picking the fruit from the bush until there isn't any left, and then you just need to wait for it to regrow. Regular Tree Seeds Trees require 1 seed to plant in a Planting Pot, and later can be planted in a Tree Patch. Once it's fully grown, you can chop the tree down for logs. It will regrow shortly after. Check the Trees section below for more info. Fruit Tree Seeds These seeds require a single seed to plant in a Planting Pot, and later can be planted into a Fruit Tree Patch. Once it is fully grown, you can keep picking the fruit as it regrows over time if you wish. Grow Time: 880 minutes (about 14 hours and 40 minutes) Special Seeds Trees Once your tree has grown into an adult, check its health by right-clicking on it. If it's healthy, you can begin to chop away. Once you've gotten all of the logs, a stump will appear, but within a few seconds the tree will respawn and can be cut down again. To get rid of the stump, dig it up with your Spade. No one else can see your tree, and once it's fully grown it will be your own personal tree that you can chop for wood, and it only takes several seconds to respawn. Hops & Brewing Hops are grown in Hops Plots and can be used for making home brews at the Breweries located in Port Phasmatys and Keldagrim. The brews that you can make, along with their ingredients can be found below: To make your own home-made brew, head over to 1 of the Breweries with the following items: 1. Put the buckets of water into the Fermenting Vat. To make Cider, bring the following items to 1 of the Breweries: 1. Use the 6 Cooking Apples on the Apple Press. For a fun idea, scoop out the inside of a Calquat fruit with a knife and you can have your very own keg that can hold 4 pints' worth of brew. Bad Ale Sometimes your character will fail at brewing the different kinds of Ales, and it will become un-drinkable. The Vat will have Bad Ale in it should the fermenting process fail. Simply turn the valve and choose the "Drain Barrel" option to remove the ale and start over. You can protect your crops by growing certain kinds of Flowers that will allow for prey to not pick on your produce. They are to be placed in the flower plots while you are growing the vegetables that are being protected. They can be grown fully and remain there while you are growing the vegetables and will not die. Scarecrows When you reach level 23 Farming, you'll have the ability to make a Scarecrow. They will ward birds away from your Sweetcorn, thus preventing disease. They are to be placed in allotment patches once you've planted Sweetcorn. You will not be able to plant other crops around the Scarecrow. To make a Scarecrow, first fill an Empty Sack with Straw by using with a Bale of Hay. An empty Sack can be crafted or bought from a Farming Shop. Stick the Sack of Hay onto a Bronze Spear, which can be obtained by killing Goblins. Place a Watermelon on top of the spear to make the Scarecrow's head. Now just stand the fully completed Scarecrow inside of an empty allotment patch to protect your Sweetcorn plots. Spirit Trees You can also pay nearby Farmers to protect your Spirit Trees. Of course, you must pay them to protect your tree, and they require 5 Monkey Nuts, a Monkey Bar, and a ground Suqah Tooth. Once your crops are ready to be harvested, you can place your produce in the different containers to store them. Be sure to have the following in your inventory: These items can either be bought from a Farming Shop, or crafted on a Loom located There are a few events and helpful things that may help you out while Farming. Tool Damage Just like in woodcutting, your rake head will fly off the handle and you will have to repair it by putting the pieces back together. If you can't find the rake head, buy another rake from any of the stores listed above. Gardener Assistance If you need hired help to watch over a crop you can ask a nearby gardener to watch over your crop. They will love to help you for a tiny price of some farmed items. It's worth noting that the farmers will accept these items in Bank Notes, which is very helpful if you need to have the farmer watch mutiple crops at once. Nature Amulet Capt' Arnav At the bottom of each column will be the word of the item you will need to move into the middle row. Use the cursors at the top and bottom to move that named item into the middle of each column and unlock the chest. For helping him, he will give you a token of thanks and be gone. If you do not help him he will teleport you away. For more info, check the Random Events guide.Draynor Seed Market Picture Seed ![]()

in Sarah's Farming Shop at the old farm south of Falador.
A Nature Amulet will allow you to hear about the quality of your crops. You will be able to go and work on other skills and your Nature Amulet can tell you your crop's progress when you rub it. Nature Amulets have unlimited rubbing charges.
You can only have one Nature Amulet at a time. When you attempt to enchant an amulet you have just crafted, a message will appear blocking your magic. A Nature Amulet can only be used on one patch at a time.
To make one of these useful amulets, you'll need to craft an Emerald Amulet unstrung and obtaining some Magic String from the roots of a grown Magic Tree. The Magic String can be spun on a spinning wheel. Attach the Magic String to the Emerald Amulet and enchant it. If your farming level or crafting level is not high enough to make an amulet, you can buy a Pre-Nature Amulet from other players. Once you have a Pre-Nature Amulet, use the Emerald Enchant spell to transform it into a Nature Amulet. Once it is enchanted, it is untradable.
He will come and tell you that you are planting seeds in a place where he buried treasure and will ask you for help with opening the chest. A puzzle screen will pop up with 3 columns (up and down) and may have 3 rotating items in each column:
