Farming training mainly involves doing tree runs since it is the most efficient training method. However, players can only start tree runs at 15 farming, so they must do other training methods to get to this level. Methods like making bagged plants, supercompost, farming allotments, or the Sorceress’s garden, which have no farming requirement to start. However, they are slow and have no good rewards. Players can skip training with any method by completing quests that give farming XP.
Completing quests can unlock other content in the game and is the fastest way from level 1 to 38 farming, giving a total of 31,000 XP. After completing as many quests as you can from the table below, check our farming guide to find the best training methods to use.
