Farming

After getting into farming and getting 1-66 about as fast as possible i stopped due to lack of time because i wanted 99 strength. Now my 99 strength goal is very close and i want to get back into farming after. So im wondering if i should do for level 66-80.

Willows/pineapples
maples/pineapples
maples/papayas

please leave your advise, greatly appreciated.

I wouldn't bother doing tree's such as Maples ETC.. Herbs and fruit tree's are probably the best option.

Actually he SHOULD farm trees and it's probably the best method for experience.

Maples if you're average on funds and want average experience.
Yews if you have a good amount of funds for great experience.
Magic Trees if you're comfortable with your quantity of gold you have for the best experience.

Note: If you plan to pay farmers, watch out for the items they ask.
Oak trees: 1 Basket of Tomatoes
Willow trees: 1 Basket of Apples
Maple trees: 1 Basket of Oranges
Yew trees: 10 Cactus spines
Magic trees: 25 Coconuts

It's usually best to pay farmers so your tree is safe from disease, however if you want to farm Yews or Magic trees, since cactus spines and coconuts are very high in price so it's better to use supercompost.

Don't forget fruit tree runs as well for more experience. Herb runs should resupply you with some gold.

I wouldn't bother with yew trees at all since the payment itself is around 60k and the yew seed is ~76k. What I did was use maples + pineapples until 80, then maples + papayas/palm to 95 and finally magics + palms to finish it off. If you're just going for 80 farming, then doing maples + pineapples would be best.

I say do Maples/Papayas all the way. While papayas seem a lot more expensive than pineapples, they actually really aren't at all because the price of the fruit plus the positive xp you gain with them offsets the slightly higher cost. Important thing is to just keep herb farming so that you can keep your cash up...when I was getting 99 farming I just bought whatever I felt like/had the cash for at the time.

Hahah you're the one who put it as an option though!

Depends how many runs you can do per day of each. Realistically if you can get into a good routine, 66-80 should be very quick regardless of which method you use. Pace yourself and remember that you can't compare the rate of xp gain in farming to that of other skills; it's actually considerably less work, just the waiting in between can make it seem deceptively harder or slower.
