Farming.
Boring.
Slow.
Agonising.

The very word is more than enough to make you vomit with rage and embed your seed dibber in someone's knee.
For years I sat, frustrated at the skill, yearning for a solution to every problem I had with Farming. There had to be another way instead of planting things over and over again; there had to be a more fun and quick way.

And then it came to me. VINESWE-*sneeze*
Sorry.
And then it came to me. WEEDS!

Overlooked since the dawn of Farming's existence, weeds are by far the quickest way to turn that 1 into a 99, standing proudly next to its watering can in your skills interface. They're quick, they're easy and you'll make millions!
Here's how you can start using the Farming technique that's taken all of RuneScape by storm using a simple 6 step guide!

Items needed:
Ectophial, Explorer's ring 3 or higher

STEP 1:
Use Ectophial to teleport to the Ectofuntus.
STEP 2:
Run West to the farming patch.
STEP 3:
Rake weeds.
STEP 4:
Use Explorer's ring 3 (or higher) to teleport to the cabbage patch North-West of Draynor Village.
STEP 5:
Run North to the farming patch.
STEP 6:
Rake weeds.

And that's all there is to it. One portion of weeds from a farming patch rakes you in (see what I did there?) a whopping 4 XP. At that rate, all you need is 3,258,608 weeds and that Farming skillcape is yours! You'll be done in no time!

Speaking of time, here's just how long it'll take.
Assuming you can rake all 16 portions of weeds at each farming patch in the five minutes it takes for the others to replenish, you're looking at 64 XP per five minutes.
That's 12.8 XP per minute.
That's 768 XP per hour.
768 XP PER HOUR!
IT'LL ONLY TAKE YOU 16972 HOURS FOR 99!

Now, let's be realistic for a moment. Not everybody can play for 16972 hours straight; that's ridiculous, so we'll cut it back. Let's say you only play for 6 hours a day. You'll have 99 farming in JUST 2829 DAYS! THAT'S ONLY 7.75 YEARS!

So what're you waiting for? Grab your Ectophial and get raking!

now thats a guide!

That thread is still going strong! With no help from Cyrus whatsoever.

So you've decided to make your life a whole lot easier by using my method of Farming, but you've wondered "Why stop at just 13,034,431 XP? Why not continue all the way to 200,000,000?"
Well, we've got you covered. All you have to do to take your potential Farming status from MASTER to LEGENDARY is to rake a measly 50,000,000 weeds.
Obviously the XP doesn't come any faster than it does with weeds, so you're still looking at 64 XP per five minutes.
That's 12.8 XP per minute.
That's 768 XP per hour.
768 XP PER HOUR!
IT'LL ONLY TAKE YOU 260416 HOURS FOR 99!

Now, let's be realistic for another moment. Not everybody can play for 260416 hours straight; that's ridiculous, so we'll cut it back. Let's say you only play for 6 hours a day. You'll have 200,000,000 XP in Farming in JUST 43403 DAYS! THAT'S ONLY 118.9 YEARS!

YOU'LL BE DONE BY SUPPER TIME!
