Jagex messed with farming?

I haven't really noticed any difference.

However, maybe they have made watering things more worth it instead of planting watermelons in supercompost, beating the tar out of a few Torags, and returning to a grown harvest.

And the herbs, maybe you are all just coincidently having a bad day. Give it a few more days and harvests, and if none of you can top 5, then we've got a bit of a problem with farming.

it's been all over the forums, so many people are having a bad day?

too big of a coincidence.

Sorry. I'm in chronic disbelief.

But hey, there are still bushes and such that give out a limitless suply of white berries and such every hour or so. I prefer to think positively on what we do have and what advantages they can bring.

P.S. Strawberries heal 6 each. Bring a basket of those, and you're looking at a 30 health healer!

I've done a few more trials and found that I still get the same yields as before. Are you sure you're using super compost?

I gaurentee im using super compost. I've been farming for a few days now on and off and it's been the same. Im only growing tar..it's a very low level herb and i still haven't got anymore than 6.

I've stopped for now and im going for 90 wc..fed up of farming it's pointless right now.

Of course it matters. A skill has to have a point.

I always said and still do say that farming's point as a skill is a timewaster.

That's me though, I get no enjoyment out of it, it seems to cost *me* money to train the skill and like you said, 75 minutes for crappy amounts. I've not had much luck with farming, I logged off once right in the final stage of growing herbs and taters and came back to find them both dead :roll:

I'd rather much do something I can actually motinor my progress with, or adjust to the situation in than be put in an uncontrolled, annoying situation called: farming. :lol:

Then again I am supposed to be training it to 80 anyway so I'm bound to be annoyed with the skill.

The range for herb yields with super compost is still 5-11 for me.

Are you absolutely positively certain that you're using super compost? Because the range you described sounds like the range for normal compost.

Lol. It's definitly super compost. I put in melons, i filled the buckets up, i checked the name and then i poored it in. I think i have some tarrs grown..i'll go take a screeny of each feild and then bank the herbs and go to the next..you can see how many i gain.

Edit: Scrap that got none growing. And im not willing to waste anymore time on it right now.
