Farming Skill Overview
Farming is one of the eleven skills available in RuneScape: Dragonwilds, introduced with the 0.10 Fellhollow update on December 15, 2025. This skill allows players to cultivate various plants and crops. To begin farming, players must first complete the “Growing Pains” quest, initiated by speaking with the Wise Old Man in Bramblemead Valley. Upon completion of this quest, players can construct Farming Plots to start their agricultural endeavors.
Leveling the Farming skill involves several core activities: weeding, sowing seeds, fertilizing plots, watering plants, curing diseased crops, and harvesting produce. These actions contribute to skill experience and are fundamental to successful farming.
Farming Activities for Reputation
While specific details on “Farming Guild Reputation” are not yet confirmed in available sources, it is logical to infer that engaging in various Farming skill activities would contribute to any potential reputation system. Based on the mechanics described for the Farming skill, these activities include:
- Weeding: Removing weeds from Farming Plots is a basic maintenance task.
- Sowing Seeds: Planting seeds in Farming Plots or directly into the ground is the first step in growing crops. Seeds can be acquired by picking wild plants, looting Chests and Packs, or harvesting existing plants. Tree Farming, which unlocks at level 20, allows for planting trees like Ash, Oak, Willow, and Maple (though Maple Tree Seeds are not currently available for replanting).
- Fertilizing: Applying compost or super compost to Farming Plots can reduce disease rates and increase yield. Compost offers a 50% decrease in disease and a 1.5x yield increase, while Super Compost provides a 75% disease decrease and a 1.75x yield increase. Compost is made in a Compost Bin, and Super Compost in a Super Compost Bin.
- Watering: Providing water to plants in Farming Plots using a Wooden, Bronze, or Steel Watering Can is crucial for growth.
- Curing Plants: Using a Plant Cure (crafted at a Cooking Range) to treat diseased plants in Farming Plots.
- Harvesting Crops: Gathering produce from fully grown plants. Equipping Iron Secateurs can boost the yield when harvesting.
It is reasonable to expect that successfully performing these actions, especially those that ensure healthy and bountiful harvests, would be key to gaining reputation within a Farming Guild, if such a system is implemented.
Farming Guild Reputation Rewards
Information regarding specific rewards for “Farming Guild Reputation” is not currently detailed in the available sources. However, in many games with guild or faction reputation systems, common rewards often include access to exclusive vendors, unique items, new farming patches, or various boosts related to the skill.
Given the existing mechanics, potential reputation rewards might involve:
- Enhanced Tools: Access to higher-tier farming tools beyond those craftable at Smithing Anvils (e.g., Adamant Spade, Steel Watering Can).
- Improved Composts: Recipes for even more potent compost types.
- Special Seeds: Availability of rare or high-yield seeds.
- Farming Boosts: Passive bonuses to growth speed, disease resistance, or harvest yield.
- New Farming Locations: Unlocking additional or more efficient farming plots.
These are speculative based on typical game design; players should consult official game updates for confirmed rewards once a Farming Guild reputation system is explicitly detailed.
