OSRS Farming training guide

Farming is a recurring skill. Tree runs provide enormous XP per minute of active play, while herb runs and contracts supply profit and account resources.

Quick tip: Do short, consistent runs instead of trying to actively grind the skill for hours.

Before committing supplies

Important method warnings

  • Tree runs are time-gated, so XP per active hour is not a continuous rate.
  • Protection payments and sapling prices change.
  • Do not overpay for 99 if milestone levels meet the account's goals.
  • Costs and profit margins are price-sensitive. Recalculate before buying supplies for a long grind.

Use milestone levels when they unlock your next goal. Level 99 does not need to be the first target.
