Farming - Tools

Introduction | Baskets and Sacks | The Gardening Leprechaun

Introduction

The tools that are needed to begin farming can be bought from both Farming shops and farmers, which can be found all over the world. You also have the option to trade with other players for Farming equipment, as every item apart from the watering can is tradable.

Farming Shops can be identified using the Farming shop icon on both the world map and the in-game minimaps.

There are four Farming shops found throughout RuneScape:

Farming Shop	Location
	North-west of Port Phasmatys
	South-east of Falador
	North of East Ardougne
	North of Catherby

Tool	Description
Rake	Used for weeding your Farming patches.
Seed dibber	Used for planting seeds.
Secateurs	Used to remove diseased foliage from trees and bushes.
Watering can	Used to water your plants. Can be refilled from any water source.
Spade	Used to harvest your plants or remove dead plants to clear your patch.
Gardening boots	These do not affect your Farming ability or the growth of your crops in any way. They are currently only worn for decorative purposes.

Amulet of Farming(8)	An amulet that can be attuned to allotments and flower patches, which informs you when that patch is ready for harvesting, becomes diseased or dies.

Baskets and Sacks

Baskets and sacks are useful because they allow you to carry many items in one inventory slot. The baskets and sacks are mainly used to hold the produce used as payment to the gardeners.

Baskets and sacks cannot hold all items grown from Farming. Baskets can store up to five items and can hold apples, oranges, tomatoes, strawberries or bananas. While sacks can store up to ten items and can hold potatoes, onions or cabbages.

As mentioned in the table above, these two items can be player-made. This can be done using the Crafting skill.

The Gardening Leprechaun

Gardening leprechauns can be found wandering around the Farming patches of RuneScape. They look after various Farming tools for you and will not charge anything, so you will find that your Farming equipment is more accessible to you. So, if you are just passing a patch with a couple of seeds, you have all the equipment ready to start Farming.

If you store items with one leprechaun you are able to retrieve them from any other leprechaun within the game.

Leprechauns are also able to convert any of your Farming produce into notes, enabling you to carry much more to the bank without having to make multiple trips. To convert your produce, simply use it on the leprechaun.
