RuneScape Discussion
- Herbs will no longer be dropped from bosses
- Abyssal lords, vyrelords, Grove creatures had herb drops reduced
- Slayer creatures still drop herbs but at a reduced rate
- Diseased patches no longer die. Disease stops growth. Disease can be mitigated for Herbs and Mushroom with the Pharm ‘ecology relic power.
- The Farmer’s Catalyst Fragment now cures diseased patches when worn, and grants shadow-infused herbs whenever you cure a patch with it.
- The Miraculous Treatment has been reworked and is now a Liquid Patch Bomb, which works the same as regular Patch Bombs but is craftable with the Invention skill.
- Compost Bin changes: processes slightly slower now but don’t need to deposit 15 at a time. Processes 3 compost every 5 minutes.
- The Player Owned Farm Bull perk now offers a 1 in 5, or 1 in 3 chance to prevent half of the compost being processed from being consumed. This chance rounds down.
- Nightshade patch now functions like a Herb patch.
- Plower Panter upgrades can be bought to increase the number of herb seeds planted. From default 1 to 2, 4, 7, and 10.
- At high level Farming with ultra compost this represents about a 3x increase in herb yield from roughly 14 to 42. At lower compost modifiers the seeds used has more impact. It is not a linear increase. Plant Power table
- Plant power upgrades are purchasable for 250, 1,250, 7,500, and 25,000 Crux Eqal favour.
- Comp requirement: Unlock the entire store. 25,000 favour cap per day. Rapid growth potions. Discuss.
- Crux Eqal Favour: 50 favour per seed for the “daily herb” and other favour amounts scale based on level.
- Crux Eqal Favour herb runs
- Speedy growth (25,000): Skips first growth stage of herb patches. Makes herbs 60 minutes instead of 80. Combine patch bomb, speedy growth and rapid growth with a Herb run before a farming tick it is possible to use rapid growth twice and collect the herbs in a single aura. The optimal in-between PvM herb run.
- A recap on farm ticks
- Bountiful harvest (15,000): Grants increased harvest from grapevines, bushes, cacti and fruit trees. 50% chance to gain +1 yield from each harvest action.
- Buckets All the Way Down (10,000): Buckets are no longer required to take Compost from a Compost Bin.
- Quick-cense (35,000): Reduces the number of ticks per craft for Incense Sticks by 50% per incense.
- Everlasting Incense (35,000): Incense stick effects are no longer removed upon death.
- Farmer’s Outfit (10,000 per piece): Random unowned piece of the farmer’s outfit
- Honorary Druid title (50,000): the Druid
- The former Sticky Fingers Relic power is now a baseline feature, allowing players to automatically pickpocket victims with a single click
- The new Sticky Fingers Relic power will speed up the rate at which you automatically pickpocket by 50%.
- The Master Camo Outfit no longer offers auto-pickpocket but retains the increased chance of success and stun avoidance.
- The Desert Phoenix no longer requires you to have completed the Hard Desert Area Achievements to automatically pick feathers.
- Mystical sand seed
- Crux Eqal Knights
- Hard requirements for any viability:
- Full camo or exoskeleton
- Ardougne hard diaries complete
- 97+ Thieving
- Crystal Mask spell (Within the Light reward)
- Light Form prayer (Within the light reward)
- Legendary 5-Finger discount - Ups the AFK time to 5min, not necessary but very useful
- Dark facet of Grace - no prayer drain with Light form
- Cheeky monkey pet - Absorbs 1 hit per minute, very useful off aura
- Shock absorbers - Cheeky monkey in consumable form
- XP gain per hour with the best set up is around 1.3M per hour, which brings it in line with "lean forward" active Safecracking. The best way to describe them is to call 'em very high level Master Farmers.
- not really viable for XP gain but do not require the spells or prayers for players who don't have them unlocked (best use case is for early-ish game ironmen)
- GP gain is mediocre, considering the anima stones aren't crazy useful (yet) and the mystical seeds will certainly drop in price, however seed prices in general should rise so time will tell.
- Opinion from Thieves (200m Thieving on multiple accounts): a very good addition to the skill. It has extremely high requirements for it to be remotely viable, unlike safecracking which is wholly OP. Is it the perfect update? No, but it at least offers an alternative to safecracking now which was previously BIS for the entire skill.
- Catalytic Anima Stones and Elemental Anima Stones. Increases Rune multiplier by 2. Power Burst of Sorcery has no effect on additional runes produced. Requires one stone per essence used.
