Dwarf Weed Patch: What Does It Mean in OSRS?
The Dwarf weed patch is a farming location in Old School RuneScape where players can cultivate dwarf weed, a key ingredient used in high-level Herblore potions.
Location and Requirements
The Dwarf weed patch can be found in several herb farming spots throughout Gielinor. To successfully grow dwarf weed, players must have a Farming level of at least 79. Accessing some patches may require the completion of specific quests or providing certain payments to protect the crops from disease.
- Catherby: Requires no additional quests and is accessible to all players.
- Farming Guild: Requires 45% Hosidius favor and at least level 60 in Farming to access.
- Troll Stronghold: Requires completion of My Arm's Big Adventure quest.
Growing and Harvesting Dwarf Weed
Once players have planted dwarf weed seeds in a patch, they must wait approximately 80 minutes for the herb to fully grow. During this time, it is crucial to monitor the patch for potential diseases. Applying plant cure or paying a nearby farmer can prevent these issues.
- Plant dwarf weed seeds in a suitable patch.
- Use supercompost to boost the yield and reduce disease chance.
- Check the health of the patch periodically.
- Harvest the mature dwarf weed to use in Herblore potions.
Strategies for Efficient Farming
To maximize efficiency when farming dwarf weed, players can use the following strategies:
- Utilize teleportation methods to quickly travel between patches.
- Maintain a stock of supercompost or ultracompost for enhanced yields.
- Complete the Hard Falador Diary to gain increased yields from the Catherby patch.
