How To Level Up Farming In OSRS
One of the best things to do before starting out in Farming is planting seeds on allotment patches. The process here can be repetitive and slow, but that’s farming for you! Potatoes should always be planted at level one through five because they award players with a lot more experience points than other crops like cabbages or onions; however, there are certain levels when it becomes better to use only onion plants- from level 5 until 15 it's much smarter not to plant potatoes anymore (they give less exp) and just goes for all those sweet onion rewards instead. It also never hurts if you hire some local farmers as bodyguards - these guys will protect your precious crops so well while still letting them grow nice and big.
One of the best ways to gain Farming levels is through tree and herb runs. Unlike allotment farming, these tasks are significantly slower due to their long growing periods but you can get better rewards on them. On average, it takes 8 hours for a tree or herb plant run to complete fully - so you have plenty of time on your hands. Use this opportunity wisely by completing OSRS quests in-between trees to maximize efficiency with little effort.
