Snapdragon Patch: What Does It Mean in OSRS?
The Snapdragon patch in Old School RuneScape refers to a farming patch designated for growing snapdragon herbs. Snapdragon herbs are highly sought after for their use in creating Ranging potions and Super restore potions, making them a profitable crop for players to cultivate.
Location of Snapdragon Patches
Snapdragon patches can be found in several key farming locations across Gielinor. Each location provides an opportunity to grow and harvest snapdragons, contributing to both Farming experience and potential profit. Key locations include:
- Catherby - Easily accessible via the Catherby teleport or a short walk from Camelot.
- Ardougne - Reachable via the Ardougne cloak or the Ardougne teleport spell.
- Falador - Located near the southern entrance of Falador, a convenient spot for those in the area.
- Port Phasmatys - Requires completion of Ghosts Ahoy for easy access.
Growing Snapdragon
To successfully grow snapdragon, players must have a Farming level of at least 62. The process involves:
- Planting a snapdragon seed in a cleared herb patch.
- Watering the patch to ensure healthy growth.
- Waiting for the snapdragons to mature, which takes approximately 80 minutes in real time.
- Harvesting the herbs once they have fully grown, yielding between 3 to 18 snapdragons depending on the player's Farming level and any bonuses applied.
Strategies and Tips
Maximizing the yield from a snapdragon patch can significantly enhance a player's profitability and Farming experience. Here are some strategies to consider:
- Utilize the Magic secateurs to increase the harvest yield by 10%.
- Consider using the Farmer's outfit for a small Farming experience boost.
- Employ ultra compost to reduce the chance of disease and increase the yield.
- Plan your farming runs efficiently by combining snapdragon patch visits with other farming activities, such as tree runs or herb patch maintenance.
