Player-owned farm
Release date								3 September 2018 (Update)
Location								Manor Farm
Members								Yes
Requirements								17 Farming 20 Construction
Currency								Beans

The player-owned farm (often abbreviated as POF) is an activity released on 3 September 2018. It allows players to manage their own livestock at Manor Farm north of East Ardougne, similar to managing their own house and port. It was developed by Mods Raven, Rowley, Chaose, and James H.

Players can start maintaining their livestock by speaking to Granny Potterington at the farm north of Ardougne, requiring level 17 Farming and level 20 Construction. As with farming patches, players can only see their own livestock (crops) and not other players', so the player-owned farm is not instanced.

It is possible to obtain Brains, the Farming pet, from the player-owned farm.

The player-owned farm features most of the Farming achievements, and four seasonal music tracks at the farm (which are required for the completionist cape). These seasonal music tracks are only available during the respective real-world season in the northern hemisphere or can be unlocked by using the seasonaliser to change the season at the farm.

Tutorial

Main article: Player-owned farm tutorial

Players must complete the tutorial before being able to use Manor Farm to raise livestock.

Basics

Completing the tutorial allows players to purchase deeds for livestock pens. To purchase deeds, players must interact with Granny Potterington and upon selecting the Farmers' Market option the deeds, as well as other products for sale, are displayed and available for purchase. The purchasing currency is beans.

After having purchased a deed the player can then build an animal pen at the animal pen hotspot using Construction materials. Pens are of sizes small, medium, and large. A player can have a maximum of two of each size pen. Once a pen has been built players then place baby livestock in the pens where the animals grow and breed. Players assess, diagnose, and treat ill animals, stock feeding troughs, and clean the animal's pens.

The types of livestock that players can raise are: rabbits, chickens, chinchompas, sheep, spiders, zygomites, cows, yaks, and dragons. Animals have a "checked" and "unchecked" state. Unchecked animals can be banked and stack in the player's bank. Once an animal is checked it will no longer stack in the bank and will have unique stats and traits. The animal will also have a flavour text, but this does not affect any gameplay mechanics. Checked animals are not tradeable on the Grand Exchange, but it is possible to trade them directly with other players.

An animal's stats include its health and happiness levels and its weight, speed, and attractiveness which are measured in grams, gallopers, and beauty marks, respectively. Animals have names; there are up to 30 possible names for each gender of each different type of animal. Names can be changed using an animal name re-roller. Animals advance through the growth stages of egg, child, adolescent, adult, and elder, although some animals do not have the egg stage. Players must care for the animals by providing them appropriate food. Farming experience is gained for each stage advanced at the time of checking. Animals may be sold at any stage of their development.

Selling adolescent animals always yields the most beans, but the most experience and produce are gained from growing an animal to elder.

On the map, farm animals are shown as yellow dots in their pen, as with any other NPC, and muck is shown as red dots, like items, but eggs (chicken, spider, or dragon) are not shown on the map.

Animals

Different livestock can be obtained via combat (common and Rellekkan rabbits, spiders, Fremennik yaks, and dragons), Hunter (Piscatorian rabbits and chinchompas), Summoning (spirit yaks), Farming (zygomites), or the Farmers' Market (tutorial rabbits, chicken, sheep, and cows). Unchecked and checked animal babies and eggs can be traded with other players, but only the unchecked ones can be bought from the Grand Exchange.

The warning when checking an animal may be turned off; however, it cannot be turned back on once done.

An unchecked animal can either be received directly, appear in the player's backpack, or be obtained as a drop.

Temporary skill boosts will not allow the player to add an animal with a higher skill level requirement to a pen.

The cheapest food to feed rabbits, sheep, cows, chinchompas and yaks is woad leaf purchasable from Wyson the gardener in Falador Park.

Chances

Growth stages

Main article: Growth stages

Most animals have four growth stages: child, adolescent, adult, and elder. The exceptions to this are chickens, spiders, and dragons, which start out as eggs and therefore have five stages. Each stage takes a certain length of time and will advance if the animal is in the pen, even if the player is logged out. Animals will not advance growth stages while in the inventory or bank.

New animals may be born when the player is away from the farm or is not logged in. The first stage is either "child" or "egg". The animals won't start growing until the first time the player visits their farm (or log back in on the farm) after the animal was born, when receiving the message: The animals in your breeding pen have given birth to a healthy child. After their first visit, the animals can grow through all the growth stages without a need to return to the farm again.

Animals do not need to be fed to grow.

Animal	Time per stage
	Egg to child	Child to adolescent	Adolescent to adult	Adult to elder	Total time to elder
Rabbits	N/A	12 minutes	21 minutes	27 minutes	60 minutes (1h)

Pens

Main article: Paddock

There are two pens of each size in the farm and one breeding pen. Players cannot have different animal types in the same pen or put animals in an incorrect-sized pen.

A farm deed must be purchased from the Farmers' Market before construction.

Required construction level may be boosted or assisted.

Pen size	Animals	Level	Experience	Planks	Nails	Level (deed I)	Level (deed II)	Max animals (of same type)
Small	Rabbits, chickens, or chinchompas	20	600	10 oak or better	75 steel or better	17	28	6
Medium	Sheep, spider, or zygomites	40	1,350	15 teak or better	150 mithril or better	35	64	4
Large	Cows, yaks, or dragons	60	2,800	20 mahogany or better	225 rune	49	71	3
Breeding	Any	N/A	N/A	N/A	N/A	17	N/A	4

When the player can't obtain the required materials by themselves, they can alternatively purchase pen construction kits with beans. As these are fairly expensive, it is only recommended to do so as a lower level ironman.

Perks

Main article: Perks (player-owned farm)

Once an animal reaches the elder growth level, the player will receive fewer beans for selling them. However, elder animals may be added to a pen with a farm totem (bought from Farmers' Market) to gain a perk that affects gameplay outside of the area. Possible perks include a chance to gain a clue scroll from harvesting, increased damage to all spiders including Araxxor/Araxxi, and a chance to save skillchompas. There are a total of 12 animal perks: one per gender for cows, chickens, and sheep, and one each for the other animal types.

By adding an elder animal to a pen equipped with a farm totem, players receive a Tier 1 perk. By putting the same species of animal in the second pen that is also equipped with a farm totem, players instead receive the Tier 2 perk. Animals that have male/female perks that differ but occupy the same pen (equipped with a farm totem) will receive both the male and female version of the perk. Completing the animal breeding log for a category of animal grants Tier 1 of their perk passively.

Pen size	Level	Animal		Perk	Skill	Tier 1 (and Tier 2) effects
Small	17		Rabbit	Like Rabbits		Breeding success increased by 7% (10%).
	28		Hen (Chicken ♀)	Headless Chicken		A 3% (5%) chance to halve feathers used (minimum 1) when fletching arrows, darts, or bolts.
	28		Rooster (Chicken ♂)	As the Rooster Crows		A 7% (10%) drop chance increase to receive ghostly essence while fighting enemies that drop it, for a number of kills after hearing a rooster's crow.
	54		Chinchompa	If Chins Could Skill		A 3% (5%) chance to not lose a skillchompa when using them.
Medium	35		Ewe (Sheep ♀)	Have Ewe (Many Wool)		Gain 2 (3) pieces of wool on successful shearing.
	35		Ram (Sheep ♂)	Randomly Accessed Memories		Gain memory strands from Farming activities at 50% (75%) of the rate from Divination.
	64		Spider	NopeNopeNope		Increases damage against all spiders by 2% (3%) (including Araxxor/Araxxi).
	81		Zygomite	Uncapped Potential		A 7% (10%) chance to yield an additional mushroom when gathering them from patches, clusters, or bloomed logs.
Large	49		Cow (Cow ♀)	Milky, Milky		All Cooking XP earned from churning is at 2x (4x) normal.
	49		Bull (Cow ♂)	Bully for You		A 1-in-5 (1-in-3) chance to save 50% of unprocessed compost that would be consumed when a compost bin creates finished compost.
	71		Yak	Nigel's Gift		A 1/50 (1/40) chance to find a clue scroll either when checking health in, or harvesting the last crop from any patch.
	92		Dragon	Dragon Ultra Combo		A 1/1000 (1/750) chance to get an ancient effigy while checking a fully-grown Farming patch, only if ultracompost is used.

Traits

Main article: Traits (player-owned farm)

Animals can have 1-3 traits (animals have 3 slots for traits, but slots 2 or 3 may be empty). There are 78 possible traits (18 are species-specific). (Most traits can appear in any slot, but some traits are restricted to certain slots). When an offspring is born, the type and amount of traits it has is random. Not all traits have the same chance to appear, and traits can be influenced by parent traits. You can use an animal trait re-roller to re-roll individual traits, and the master farmer outfit gives a better chance of positive traits (from breeding and checking).

Traits on the same animal or both parents stack, if the traits are the same or similar. E.g., if an animal has the traits Sparkling (+2%), Glistening (+3%), and Radiant (+5%), it has a +10% chance of shiny offspring. If both parents have these 3 traits, offspring have a +20% chance to be shiny.

Useful trait combinations

For these tables, both parents are assumed to have the same trait combination unless noted otherwise.

Utility

Goal	Traits	Notes
Increasing breeding rate	Studly or Virile	Can be used with several other combinations to improve breeding success where other more specific or preferable traits are unnecessary
Producing offspring with 2 traits from 1-trait parents	Both parents with Genetic Mutation	Intermediate step to getting offspring with 3 traits Less effective options: One parent with Studly and one with Genetic Mutation
Producing offspring with 3 traits from 2-trait parents	Both parents with Genetic Mutation (slot 1) and Genetic Instability (slot 2)	Less effective options: Parents with Studly and Genetic Mutation

Achievements

Goal	Traits	Notes
Shiny achievements	Sparkling (slot 1), Glistening (slot 2), and Radiant (slot 3)	Less effective options: combinations of Studly, Sparkling (Shiny+, any slot), Glistening (Shiny++, slots 2 and 3 only), and Radiant (Shiny+++, slot 3 only). Breeders for shiny (royal) dragons cannot use the most effective combination because the parents must have Shock Breath, Poisonous Breath, and Frost Breath between them. [Breath 1] (slot 1), [Breath 2] (slot 2), Radiant (slot 3) and [Breath 3] (slot 1), Glistening (slot 2), Radiant (slot 3) would be optimal for dragons.
Other achievements	Studly and: Evil (Bad Egg achievement, chickens only) Nuclear or Unstable (Tickety Boom! achievement, chinchompas only). Mysterious (Ravensworn achievements, requires The Ravensworn title to be unlocked)	Some achievements that require traits can be achieved using trait rerollers. If the achievement needs an animal to be born with a trait, it is possible to get the trait with a reroller and then breed that animal (since its offspring will be more likely to have the same trait). Trait rerollers cannot be used to get the Ravensworn traits. Because Ravensworn is only available in slot 2, trait+ traits like Genetic Mutation and Genetic Instability paired with Mysterious will help ensure offspring are eligible to roll for Ravensworn by having 2+ traits.

Long-term farming output

Goal	Traits	Notes
Farming without needing food	Studly, Joyful, and Immune	Lowest amount of effort required Lowest cost Charmed is less effective but could be a reasonable placeholder for Joyful or Immune if the player does not have enough beans to roll the optimal combination
Maximizing output	Studly in all 3 slots	Commonly referred to as "6x studly" in pairs All but ensures the player does not miss a breeding cycle

Note: Other positive traits such as Producer and Exalted can be used for slightly increased produce or XP from harvesting, but in general the gains are so minimal that it is optimal to simply maximize the number of animals bred over specific traits that would affect their individual outputs, as these traits are not guaranteed to be passed down to their offspring, making rolling them useless in many cases.

Feeding

Main articles: Trough and Calculator:Farming/Player-owned farm food costs

Animals require food to increase and retain happiness and health. Once an animal has been added to a pen, players can fill the trough with up to 1,000 suitable pieces of food. Food can be added either noted or un-noted, and the trough can be used from both inside and outside the pen. Up to 1,000 pieces can be added in one action.

Each animal eats one unit of food every hour and the correct food will raise animal health and happiness by 5–9%. For example, a pen with 3 animals will require 3 units of food each hour to maintain. The proper variety of food for an animal is listed in its description window when clicked in the pen or inventory. Incorrect types will not be eaten and animals' health and happiness will each degrade by 10% per hour without proper food.

Animals with both the Immune and Joyful traits will remain at 100% health and happiness without the need for food, although they will still eat if it is available. Having both these traits can be useful for animals that require food that is expensive or time-consuming to acquire, such as zygomites.

The cost of feeding animals can be determined using the calculator. The amount of time for food to run out, starting from a full trough with 1,000 food, depends how many animals are in the pen.

Number of animals	Time to run out
1	1000 hours (41.67 days)
2	500 hours (20.83 days)
3	333.33 hours (13.89 days)
4	250 hours (10.42 days)
5	200 hours (8.33 days)
6	166.67 hours (6.94 days)

Disease

Main article: Disease

There is a chance of animals becoming diseased. There are six different diseases with different symptoms. Players will have to correctly identify the animal's disease and cure it to gain Farming experience. The amount of experience gained depends on the animal's growth stage: for a child, adolescent, and adult, 5% of the animal's "Gather Produce" experience will be rewarded, while only 1% for an elder will be given. To do this players must examine different parts of the animal (such as the mouth, eyes, legs, and stomach) to gain information about symptoms. From this, the player can identify the correct disease and cure the animal (no specific item needed). The icon is displayed over each animal when an animal is diseased if the upgrade has been bought from the Farmers' Market and then toggled on Granny Potterington.

Animals cannot die from a disease; their stats are lowered instead. Using the incorrect treatment will result in lowering the animals' stats further. Curing an animal increases its stats. Having enough food in the pen decreases the chance for animals to become diseased.

Animals cannot die at all at the player-owned farm with the exception of chinchompas with the unstable or nuclear trait, which have a chance to explode upon collecting their produce during a growth stage.

Curing 100 animals completes the Animal Whisperer achievement. Animals with high stats will not become diseased. Use animals with low stats in pens without food in order to complete this achievement.

There are common symptoms among the diseases (e.g. Smelly breath is present in flu, curse, and foot-in-mouth). Unique Symptoms have keywords bold and underlined. If you find a unique symptom, then the animal has that disease and you can safely administer the treatment straight away without checking the other body parts.

Breeding

Main article: Breeding

Mature animals may be added to a breeding paddock to create child animals. Only animals in the adult or elder stages will breed. If two animals are left in the paddock together for sufficient time and there is room in the paddock for another animal, a child animal will eventually appear in the paddock with them.

When a child is born in the breeding paddock, the player will receive the message: The animals in your breeding pen have given birth to a healthy child.

In addition to the breeding paddock, players can purchase upgrades from the Farmers' Market to allow breeding in the small, medium, and large pens, respectively. However, breeding in other pens has no failure mitigation and the following applies:

• Animals in the small pen will take 1.5x as long to breed as animals in the breeding pen
• Animals in the medium pen will take 2x as long to breed as animals in the breeding pen
• Animals in the large pen will take 3x as long to breed as animals in the breeding pen

When breeding happens in one of the pens, the player will receive a message based on which directional pen it occurred in. An example would appear as: The animals in the southern pen, have given birth to a healthy child.

The breeding chance of a pair of animals will be affected by their health and happiness stats. If their health and happiness are low, their breeding chance is reduced. Ensuring the animals have food at all times will therefore help increase the chance of breeding. There are also special items, such as special honeycombs and certain milks (strawberry and vanilla milk), that may be used to increase the animals' stats to speed up the process. The player can boost the chance of breeding by using the farm totems on small pens with elder rabbits in them. Some animal traits will also increase the chance of breeding (see "Useful traits for breeding" below).

Since space is needed in the paddock for breeding to occur, it is advisable to have only one male and one female in the paddock to leave sufficient room for babies. The breeding paddock itself has four slots for animals, so there is potentially room for two babies. Reaching the animal cap of pens by breeding will prompt a message. An example for the breeding pen is: Your breeding pen is now full. You will need to remove animals if you want to breed more..

There is bad luck mitigation in the breeding pen, which means that if the breeding chance fails five times in a row, a success is guaranteed. This protection does not apply to same gender animals nor does it exist in other pens. It is also reset if an animal is removed from the pen. Animals of the same gender may result in offspring as if bred, with the text Your animals have decided to raise a child together and have adopted a baby. This has a much lower overall chance of offspring (100 times less as a base chance) than a male and female.

To keep track of all the breeds the player has bred, they can go to Granny's faithful companion, Sam the sheepdog, or take the breeding log book from the table and check the status at any time.

Breeding traits

Players are able to use the breeding process to create specific child animals with particular traits. Breeding may also be used to create new breeds of animals.

Useful traits for breeding
Trait name	Summary	Description	In slot
			1	2	3
Radiant	Shiny +5% chance	This animal is practically shining.
Glistening	Shiny +3% chance	This animal is more likely to produce shiny offspring.
Sparkling	Shiny +2% chance	There's something almost "shiny" about this animal.
Good Breeding	Increased chance of different breed from parents. Does not work for certain breeds or animals. Conflicts with Strong Genes.	This animal carries some rare breed ancestry in its genetics.
Strong Genes	This animal is more likely to produce offspring of the same breed. Conflicts with Good Breeding.	Increased chance of same breed as parent.
Genetic Instability	Multi-trait++	The unusual genetics in this animal means its offspring are more likely to have multiple traits.
Genetic Mutation	Multi-trait+	The unusual nature of this animal means its offspring are more likely to have multiple traits.
Charmed	Happy+ Healthy+	This animal is happier and healthier than other animals
Joyful	Happy++	This animal is almost always happy.
Jovial	Happy+	This animal always sees the glass as half full.
Immune	Healthy++	This animal is practically immune to disease.
Robust	Healthy+	This animal is more resistant to disease.
Studly	Breeding++	This animal has a much higher breeding chance than other animals.
Virile	Breeding+	This animal has a higher breeding chance than some others.
Frost Breath	Shiny unlock (Dragons only)	A breeding pair of dragons with Frost Breath and Poisonous Breath and Shock Breath between them allows for a Royal Dragon to be bred. Does not increase base chance for Shiny offspring.
Poisonous Breath
Shock Breath

The master farmer outfit gives a better chance of positive traits from breeding. Animal trait re-rollers may be used to re-roll traits.

Animals can have between one and three traits on birth. Multiple trait boosts may be purchased from the Farmers' Market to improve the odds of breeding a multi-trait animal. Additionally, the Genetic Mutation and/or Genetic Instability traits improve the odds that an animal will produce multi-trait offspring.

There is a 0.1% chance (1/1,000) for players to receive rare "shiny" animals from breeding. Shiny animals have a different appearance to regular ones when older than the child stage, and the word "Shiny!" appears on the 4th line below Gender in their item tooltip. Shiny animals give +25% more Farming experience as they are raised and, when sold to a buyer, count as a "wildcard" for the buyer's preferred breed.

Players seeking to maximise their chance of breeding a shiny animal should first obtain a three-trait breeding pair (through breeding or by purchasing a pair from another player), and then use a trait re-roller to roll traits that improve shiny chance. (As an intermediate step, players may use a trait re-roller on a one or two-trait animal to roll the Genetic Mutation and/or Genetic Instability traits in order to help breed three-trait animals.)

The Sparkling (+2% shiny chance in slot 1/2/3), Glistening (+3% shiny chance in slot 2/3), and Radiant (+5% shiny chance in slot 3) traits replace the base 0.1% chance to breed a shiny offspring. All traits stack, so a perfect pair of parents would provide a 20% shiny chance per birth. Any shiny traits on the offspring also add to the chance: an offspring with Sparkling/Glistening/Radiant on top of perfect parents would have a 30% chance of being shiny. Shiny animals do not help breed more shiny animals; only the aforementioned three traits help improve shiny breeding chance.

Black dragons, since they require the three breaths on the parents as well as the child being born black to create a shiny (royal) offspring, have an extra 5% base shiny chance. A perfect pair of adult or elder black dragons (breath 1/breath 2/Radiant and breath 3/Glistening/Radiant) would have a total of 18% shiny chance. This becomes 28% if the offspring is born with Sparkling/Glistening/Radiant.

Breed of offspring

• Interbreeding of the variants of the same species is possible. For example, a common brown rabbit and a Piscatorian cottontail rabbit can produce offspring.
• In general, offspring can be any breed, though the chance of being the same breed(s) as the parents is higher. The exceptions are common brown rabbits, chinchompas, and dragons:
  • A pair of common brown rabbits can only produce other common brown rabbits (regular or shiny variant).
  • Chinchompas can only produce offspring of the same breed(s) as the parents (regular or shiny variant).
  • Chromatic dragons can only breed offspring of the same or the next tier (green→blue→red→black). Royal dragons act as black dragons for breeding.
• Breeding kandarin cows with the touch of vanilla, strawberry scent, or chocolatey goodness traits have an increased chance to result in a vanilla cow, strawberry cow, or chocolate cow, respectively. These traits are not required to breed a flavoured cow, but will make it much easier to do so.

Season-specific breeds

When breeding some animals, namely sheep and spiders, the breed will depend on the current player-owned farm season or the time of day. The natural farm seasons follow those in the northern hemisphere. For example, summer begins on the real-life June solstice, which is 21 June, and presumably autumn, winter, and spring begin on the September equinox, December solstice, and March equinox. However, this can be artificially manipulated using a seasonaliser after purchasing a seasonaliser wheel from the Farmers' Market for 5,000 beans.

Season-specific animal breeds

Season	Spring	Summer	Autumn/Fall	Winter	21:00-09:00 UTC
Sheep	Springsheared ewe & Springsheared ram	Summerdown ewe & Summerdown ram	Fallfaced ewe & Fallfaced ram	Winterwold ewe & Winterwold ram	Black ewe & Black ram
Spiders	Fever spider	Giant spider	Corpse spider	Ice spider	Night spider

Breeding success

The information in the following table applies to the breeding pen. Breeding in the other pens has the following differences:

• In the small pen breeding will take 1.5x longer
• In the medium pen breeding will take 2x longer
• In the large pen breeding will take 3x longer

Animals	Breeding rate	Max breed time	Success chance	Average time (Base)	Average time (With tier 2 rabbit perk)
Rabbit	5 minutes	25 minutes	40%	12 minutes	11 minutes
Chicken	50 minutes	250 minutes (4h 10m)	45%	106 minutes (1h 46m)	98 minutes (1h 38m)
Chinchompa	150 minutes (2h 30m)	750 minutes (12h 30m)	60%	248 minutes (4h 8m)	227 minutes (3h 47m)
Sheep	100 minutes (1h 40m)	500 minutes (8h 20m)	45%	212 minutes (3h 32m)	196 minutes (3h 16m)
Spider	180 minutes (3h)	900 minutes (15h)	50%	349 minutes (5h 49m)	322 minutes (5h 22m)
Zygomite	500 minutes (8h 20m)	2,500 minutes (41h 40m)	70%	713 minutes (11h 53m)	649 minutes (10h 49m)

Yak	400 minutes (6h 40m)	2,000 minutes (33h 20m)	60%	660 minutes (11h)	604 minutes (10h 4m)
Dragon	1,000 minutes (16h 40m)	5,000 minutes (83h 20m)	80%	1,250 minutes (20h 50m)	1,137 minutes (18h 57m)

• Average breeding times assume no bonuses from traits, taking into account the bad luck mitigation of the breeding pen.

To maximise breeding efficiency:

• Get the mating pair 100% happiness with delicious honeycomb.
• Get the mating pair 100% health with medicinal honeycomb.
• Put a mating pair that has Studly trait (Virile would be the second best).
• Tier 2 rabbit perk: have at least one elder rabbit in both small pens with a totem for each.
• Enough food all the time.
• Giving the mating pair an increased chance of breeding success with fertile honeycomb.

Information:

• Parent traits have a slightly higher chance of being inherited than other possible traits. Some traits are more dominant than the others (Chief, Owsla) and are more likely to be passed on compared to other traits. The Ravensworn trait is the only known exception, as it is a mutation of another trait.
• Mucking out does not affect the chance of breeding.
• Attractiveness, weight, and speed have no effect on breeding.
• Having a third mature animal in the breeding pen does not increase the breeding chance. It is better to have just two for having an extra space for a second child.
• Two babies can be received at once. This happens commonly with rabbits, uncommonly with chickens and chinchompas, rarely with zygomites, and extremely rarely with dragons.
• The rabbit breeding perk is multiplicative. It would increase the dragons' breeding chance from 80 to 88%.

Breeding ticks

The above lists the cooldown time for when the animals will attempt to breed - this is based on a global timer and is not based on when the animals were added to the pen. The following calculator can be used to list the breeding times for the next X hours (or previous X hours by using a negative number) for specified animals.

Note that:

• Breeding times occur within that minute - between hh:mm:00 and hh:mm:59 - which can vary between servers.
• An extra breeding attempt occurs outside of these times each cycle under certain circumstances; it is a consistent glitch.
• Be aware that selecting rabbits in the calculator results in a significant amount of output due to the short breeding cooldown.

Farming reputation

Main article: Farming reputation

The Farming Guild interface

The Farming reputation system has a maximum of 2,500,000 Farming reputation and has seven ranks.

Reputation can yield significant permanent rewards in farming related game mechanics. For example:

• Fourth Spirit Tree
• Animals selling for more beans, less disease, higher chance of shiny trait
• Build the remote farm device
• Buyers will buy twice as many animals
• Grow a bloodwood tree at the bloodwood tree patch in the Farming Guild
• [Name] the Very Good Farmer title

Any time certain Farming-related actions are done or when farming requests are completed, Farming reputation is gained. The actions producing reputation give 0.1 reputation per 1, 2, or 5 experience points depending on the action.

Farming requests

Main article: Farming requests

This article has a calculator for showing when a certain reward will next appear on farming requests here. Calculators determine experience and costs based on real-time prices from the Grand Exchange Market Watch.

A separate set of buyers request a combination of animals, seeds, and produce in return for items and reputation. The actual items received may, or may not, be worth the exchange. The current farming requests are shown below.

Here are the farming requests for 23 March 2025 (Runedate 8425).^(wrong?)

Selling

Players may sell their animals for beans. The number of beans depends on the species, stage of growth, traits, etc.

Animals may be marked as favourite to be kept with a right-click/long-press option on the animal or via the Animal pen or Barn interfaces with the Animal Info screen by clicking on the faint arrow right of the name and left of the right arrow. Favourited animals cannot be traded between players, given to requesters, or handed over when attempting to 'Sell all' to a buyer. To sell an animal, toggle the favourite star off.

Beginner animal breeding players may find it easier and quicker to buy child animals from the farmers' market. Buy two animals; one male and one female. Once the purchased animals have bred and created offspring and the babies have reached the adolescent stage of growth, keep the best two and sell the others. By selling animals at the adolescent stage the player will receive more beans than they initially spent when starting the breeding process.

By default, buyers for the animals present in the pens will spawn. If there is one species of animals in one pen and another species in the other pen, only the buyer for one of them will spawn. Players can interact with advertisement board to choose which buyer appears for each size of pen (small, medium, large).

Selling traits

Bonuses (all bonuses work on base value - additive not multiplicative; final amount rounded down)

+/- Beans	Trait name	Description
-10%	Nice but Dim (Slot 3 only)	Generous with experience but less popular with farmers and is not so good with materials on harvesting.
-5%	Surly	This animal is unpleasant and so worth fewer beans.
-3%	Limited Efficiency	Harvesting this animal will award more materials but at the cost of lower experience and bean value.
+2%	Lucky (Slot 1/2/3)	This animal is worth more beans when sold.
+3%	Unlucky for Some (Slot 2/3 only)	Other farmers will happily purchase this animal, but it's not so good for experience or materials.
+5%	Fortunate (Slot 3 only)	This animal is considered very special and farmers will pay more beans for it.

Other bonuses:

• +5%: Animal farmer outfit
• +10%: Master farmer outfit
• +10%: Competent Farmer rank for shiny animals
• +10%: Grandmaster Farmer rank for all animals (stacks with Competent Farmer rank if the animal is shiny)
• Either of:
  • +10%: Buyers' preferred breed or trait
  • +25%: If both buyers' breed and trait is matched
• +65%: is the max possible with Lucky/Unlucky for Some/Fortunate traits, Master farmer outfit, buyers' breed/trait matched, shiny animal, and Grandmaster Farmer rank

Players can sell up to 12 small animals (daily), eight medium (every two days), and six large (every three days), to their respective buyer. The amount for each buyer can be doubled by earning farming reputation.

Selling prices

The following table displays an animal's growth stage and its standard selling price, not taking into account the buyers' preferences, the master farmer outfit bonus, or the bonus from the Grandmaster Farmer rank.

Animals		Farming level	Growth stage					Baby Shakes 10%
			Egg 10%	Child 20%	Adolescent 100% (base value) [net gain if bought from store]	Adult 85%	Elder 70%

	Dragon	92	200	400	2,000	1,700	1,400	200

Beans vs. experience

The highest rate of beans is obtained by selling an adolescent animal. Should a player decide to grow an animal further (up to elder) for experience, the rate of experience is as follows.

Animal	Total XP (at elder stage)	Beans lost	Experience per bean
Rabbit	250	8	31.25
Chicken	1,250	12	104.17
Chinchompa	15,000	75	200.00
Sheep	675	24	28.13
Spider	10,000	75	133.33
Zygomite	40,000	255	156.86
Cow	2,500	51	49.02
Yak	32,500	225	144.44
Dragon	100,000	600	166.66

Buyers

Buyers spawn at reset and change daily for small animals (buys 12), every two days for medium animals (8), and every third day for large animals (6). The buyer that spawns is based upon the animal(s) that are currently in the player's pens, unless the player has chosen to advertise certain animal on advertisement board. If both pens for a certain size are empty, then the buyer will request the lowest-level animal type at that size (rabbits for an empty small pen, sheep for an empty medium, or cows for an empty large). If there are different types of animal in the same size of pen, each of the buyers at that size has an equal chance of spawning.

You can select animal buyers regardless of whether or not you have the required level to raise them. Many players use this to their advantage by purchasing adolescent animals from other players to quickly acquire beans.

Size	Animal	Buyers
Small 12	Rabbits	Myfi (rabbit buyer)
	Chickens	Henrietta (chicken chaser)
	Chinchompas	Mieliki Tapio (chinchompa collector)
Medium 8	Sheep	Ralph (sheep hugger)
	Spiders	Rumbleguts (spider shopper)
	Zygomites	Zoe (zygomite trader)
Large 6	Cows	Milkshake (cow fancier)
	Yaks	Prezleek (yak buyer)
	Dragons	Raptor (dragon expert)

Baby Shakes

Main article: Baby Shakes

Baby Shakes will purchase any animals, any quantity, any age, regardless of breed or traits—but at a heavily reduced rate of 10% of the animal’s base adolescent bean value. Baby Shakes is always present at the farm, south-east of Granny, and is unaffected by the buyers' reset.

Buyers' reset

When a buyer resets, a new buyer is generated based on the animals in the pens. The new buyer replaces the buyer of that size if they are still present - if it is the same buyer, then the number they ask for is reset, as well as the specific breeds and traits. (e.g. if Myfi still wants four rabbits, preferring Rellekkan cream and Virile, at reset she will reset back to 12 rabbits and generate a new breed and trait to prefer). Once satisfied, after buying their total, buyers vanish until their next reset day. To have a Buyer spawn, the player must log in during the day of their spawn.

Essentially, when a buyer spawns, they will stay on the farm until they either buy the requested number or they reset.

In a full 6 day cycle, if all possible animals were sold, the player would sell 72 small, 24 medium, and 12 large animals.

Gathered produce

Main article: Produce (player-owned farm)

Every time an animal grows, the player can gather for items and Farming experience. Unlike with collecting produce from crops, animal produce does not replenish. Produce can only be collected once per growth stage. The experience from harvesting is affected by bonus experience, but it is not doubled during Double XP. It will fill farming urns and unstable and erratic effigies and use up bonus experience stored within both advanced pulse cores and cinder cores. If an animal is shiny, it will provide an additional 10% experience. Chickens, spiders, and dragons growing from egg to child stage award experience, but not produce. The icon is displayed over each animal when this has grown a stage and has produce to be gathered if the upgrade has been purchased from the Farmers' Market and then toggled on via Granny Potterington.

If the animal is unhealthy or unhappy, the XP received will be reduced, down to a minimum of 10% of the normal XP. It is recommended to make sure animals that give large amounts of XP are at full health and happiness before produce is gathered, otherwise the XP gains can be greatly reduced.

Farmhands

Main article: Farmhand

Farmhands are helpers that will handle some of the farm tasks without guidance such as collecting excess animals, preventing animals from growing past the adolescent stage and finding random unchecked animals.

Babysitters

Each babysitter can stop animals in a pen from growing past their adolescent stage. There are a total of eight babysitters. Up to three can be allocated to each pen.

Pen	Farmhand	Beans cost	Cost per use
Small	Thing	1,000	2
	Handy	1,000	2
Medium	Zygomaid	2,000	5
	Emile	2,000	5
Large	Dorbo	3,500	10
	Teensy	3,500	10
Any & Breeding	Karen	3,500	10
	Susan	3,500	10

Collector

The collector Callia takes excess babies from the breeding pen and stores them as unchecked animals. She can be hired for 2,500 beans and requires a payment of 10 beans per usage. Collectors will store up to 10 unchecked animals each of three species, for a total of 30 animals stored.

Trapper

The trapper Adam Antite is located inside the house and can be sent off every six hours to retrieve a random unchecked animal for the player. He can be hired for 5,000 beans and requires a payment of 100 beans per usage. The trapper will never retrieve a shiny animal (including an Araxyte spider), but any other animal is possible. The only exception is royal dragons, though these are incredibly rare.

Storm barn

The barn build hotspot is just east of the bank chest. The storm barn deed can be purchased for 5,000 beans. It requires 60 Construction, 225 rune nails and 20 mahogany planks to construct, granting 2,800 Construction experience. The barn has an initial capacity of 15 animals in any mix of any types. It can be upgraded to store 30 animals by purchasing the storm barn extension for 20,000 beans, then 60 animals by purchasing the second storm barn extension for 60,000 beans. These upgrades requires no additional materials.

Mucking

Main article: Manure (scenery)

Each animal produces different types of muck in their paddock. When players "muck out", they gain Farming experience depending on the type of muck that is attempted to be cleared. The amount of muck in each pile varies between one and 79. This only affects the experience mucking out grants and how much time it takes; each pile of manure will only fill one bucket.

Mucking out for cows 20 times is needed for I Hardly Manure achievement, which can be done in either a large pen or the breeding pen.

Muck does not affect animal stats or breeding chance. Thus, mucking any manure except dragon manure is mostly useful for its rather low experience gain and the chance at receiving master farmer fragments. While manure and green manure can be used when making compost and supercompost respectively, other items can be used which are easier to obtain.

Animal	Muck	Frequency	Experience per action
Rabbit	Mammal droppings	5 minutes	20
Chicken	Bird droppings	10 minutes	20
Chinchompas	Mammal droppings		20
Sheep	Manure	10 minutes	50
	Green manure		120
Spiders	N/A	N/A	N/A
Zygomites	N/A	N/A	N/A
Cows	Manure	10 minutes	50
	Green manure		120
Yaks	Manure	10 minutes	50
	Green manure		120
Dragons	Green manure	10 minutes	120
	Dragon manure		500

Players can collect all three kinds of manure (manure, green, or dragon) if one has an empty bucket in the inventory, but mammal and bird droppings cannot be collected.

Manure is used for regular compost. Green manure is used for supercompost. Dragon manure is used for ultracompost, which increases the yield of Farming patches and dramatically decreases disease chance.

It is possible to obtain Mod Dolan's rubber duck and Mod Daze's homework from this activity.

Other activities

Manure mound

Main article: Manure mound

The manure mound can be found north-east of the Farming Guild farmhouse. It may be continuously turned for Farming experience. Strange rocks, golden rocks, and master farmer fragments can be obtained from turning the manure. Mod Daze's homework and Mod Dolan's rubber duck can also be obtained here.

Pickle the cat

Main article: Pickle the cat

Pickle the cat may be talked to using a catspeak amulet or a cramulet. If he has caught 10 or more mice, talking to him will complete the In a Pickle achievement.

Beehives and milk

Main article: Beehive (player-owned farm)

Players can interact with the beehives behind the large pen on the east side of the farm. Certain types of plants may be added to a beehive which can result in a variety of different honeycomb. Noted flowers may be used. Each beehive produces one honeycomb from one flower approximately every hour, provided flowers have been added. Insect repellent is required to harvest honeycombs. Insect repellent can now be added to toolbelt. Honeycombs can only be used at certain animal growth stages. Beehives can hold up to 27 flowers per type of flower per full load. Although different flowers can be placed in a single hive, it is probably better to use one type per hive for organisational purposes. If different flowers are put into a single hive, the production of special honey will be random.

Given that the price of Marigolds in the Grand Exchange is high at the moment due to high demand, a viable option is to buy the 10 marigold seeds from Olivia in Draynor Village or Coeden's Seed Store in Prifddinas and farm them in the flower patches since they only take around 18 minutes to fully grow.

Right-clicking the beehives can allow the player to see how many flowers have been deposited.

To harvest the special honeycombs, click on the hive and choose the option "Check Beehive". The player must first spray the hive with insect repellent, or they will be stung. Choosing the option "Take honey Beehive" will result in a regular honeycomb being collected instead. Feeding the special honeycomb to an animal will only work if it is not in its egg stage.

Flower	Cost	Honeycomb	Value	Effect	Profit
Stat boosters - multiple per animal
Marigolds	12,098	Delicious	16,836	Happiness boosted by 10%	4,738
Rosemary	10,426	Dense	14,695	Weight boosted by 10%	4,269
Woad leaf	16	Medicinal	328	Health boosted by 10%	312
Nasturtiums	6,706	Runny	198	Speed boosted by 10 gallopers	−6,508
Snape grass	411	Sweet	1,105	Attractiveness boosted by 10 beauty marks	694
Breeding traits - 1 per animal
Roses	54	Fertile	883	Increased chance of breeding until next offspring	829
Irises	107	Candied	510	Increased chance of the next offspring having the Joyful trait	403
Hydrangeas	122	Nutritious	759	Increased chance of the next offspring having the Immune trait	637
Hollyhocks	118	Moreish	848	Increased chance of the next offspring having multiple traits	730
Golden roses	1,191,606	Shimmering	385,408	Increased chance of the next offspring being shiny	−806,198

There are only two kinds of milk that can improve the stats of any animal: strawberry and vanilla. Chocolatey milk and plain milk have no effect. Yak milk is used in Herblore. In the long run it would be a much less reliable and far more expensive source of stat boosters compared to beehives as their production is limited by the cows' growth stages.

Milk	Produce of	Boost
Strawberry milk	Strawberry cow	Health between 0-13% Happiness between 0-8% Average total +10.1% (n=30)
Vanilla milk	Vanilla cow	Health between 0-9% Happiness between 5-14% Average total +15.8% (n=35)

  • Corrected some seed icons when adding them to the Player-owned farm troughs.

• update 16 September 2019 (Update):
  • As you might have heard, there’s been a few changes down on the farm. Last week, we addressed some of your biggest concerns about the update to Player Owned Farms and laid out how we planned to fix them. Today’s update sees these changes out in the wild. You can look forward to an improved XP-to-effort ratio, a deeper farming experience, and more player-to-player interactions than you can shake a rake at. Why not head on down to Ardougne and check out the new and improved farm for yourself?
  • Harvest XP has been reduced by 50%.
  • Animal XP is now based on their health and happiness.
    • This is to encourage players to engage with their farm more actively. Now the happiness and health of the animals adjusts the XP to a percentage of their average, to a minimum of 10% of their maximum value. This means that you need to keep your animals fed and healthy if you want to maintain their best XP rates.
  • Harvest XP can now be boosted by items and bonus XP
    • You can now use any XP boosting reward or device while harvesting. While this doesn’t include double XP weekends, it means that those who are going for efficiency can see an increase in the base XP to somewhere near the pre-nerf values.
  • Reduced breeding outside of breeding pens.
    • Animals in the small pen will take 1.5x as long to breed as animals in the breeding pen
    • Animals in the medium pen will take 2x as long to breed as animals in the breeding pen
    • Animals in the large pen will take 3x as long to breed as animals in the breeding pen
  • Reduced the amount of animals the collector farmhand can hold.
    • Currently the collector can hold 90 animals, which is excessive. The current format means that there’s little reason to trade as players will just collect a ton of animals over the course of a few weeks. So the plan is to reduce the collector’s capacity to 10 of each breed, for a total of 30 possible animals. Note: This won’t remove any animals she is currently holding over that limit, merely prevent more animals from being stored. The collector is still a great investment, but now we encourage people to sell more animals to get the best results (for both the buyer and the seller).
  • The rate at which animals feed has been increased.
    • To keep things simple, we’ve decided to make it so that each animal eats 1 food every hour. Put simply, this means that an animal's health and happiness will now improve at twice the rate, while still allowing players to leave their farms alone for a few days and check back in to top things up.
    • Additionally, we’ve increased the amount of food which can be added via left click. Now you can fill the entire trough in one go.
  • Increased the benefits of shiny enhancing traits.
    • These traits have been doubled in effectiveness, meaning you are much more likely to get a shiny animal if you breed these traits. However, we recognise that breeding traits isn’t an exact science so we’ve made an additional change.
  • Increased the hereditary nature of traits
    • All traits now have a much higher base chance of being passed on to their children. It’s not 100%, but you should see it being much easier to breed the traits you want into your animals, whether it be the shiny boosting traits or traits like jovial and immune.
  • Increased the value of shiny animals
    • To give even more value to shiny animals, they will now produce 25% more XP than their base animal (up from 10%). This means that if you aim to breed shiny animals, you should see a higher rate of XP as a reward for the effort you have put into the farm.

• patch 9 September 2019 (Update):
  • The NopeNopeNope perk no longer appears on the players buff bar. This still shows as a debuff on the enemies bar however.

• patch 3 June 2019 (Update):
  • An issue has been fixed in the tutorial where some NPC names were incorrect and chatheads were missing.

• patch 11 March 2019 (Update):
  • Callia the farmhand collector will now correctly collect animals from the breeding pen if you were to leave the area with less than the max amount of animals inside the pen.
  • You will now correctly be informed if the collector can't collect an animal.

• patch 11 February 2019 (Update):
  • Using a farm animal on the paddock entrance will no longer cause a disconnection.
  • Trapper farmhands will no longer occasionally be unresponsive when interacted with.
  • Changed PoF trapper's animal gathering timer from 30s to 6 hours.
  • Removing animals from the storm barn can no longer cause a disconnection.

• update 4 February 2019 (Update):
  • Added an "Old Mc" title for completing the POF breeding log (talk to Sam the sheepdog to unlock it).
  • Baby Shakes at the player owned farm will now buy unwanted farm animals for beans at an amount based on their significance (e.g shiny).
  • Added a "Don't ask me again" option to the warning for removing unharvested animals from Player Owned Farm.
  • Granny Potterington now sells the ability to unlock farm animal indicators to help determine whether something is diseased or has produce to gather.
  • Shiny animals now count as a wildcard for trait requests when selling to player owned farm NPC buyers, on top of the existing breed wildcard.
  • Elite farmer hats can now be used to teleport or receive items if the player owns the master farmer hat.
  • Players can now teleport out of the player owned farm pens.

• patch 21 January 2019 (Update):
  • An issue that caused the food troughs at the player owned farm to only be able to add as much mush to the trough as free inventory spaces you had has been resolved and as such you can add up to 60 Mush into a trough again at once.

• patch 26 November 2018 (Update):
  • Reduced the painted down area of Manor Farm which was covering a wider area than it perhaps needed. This meant farm checks were running when you walked from places like the Ardougne lodestone to the Fishing Guild. The areas have now been tightened up to only cover the outskirts of all pens and the hives.
  • You can now chat to Granny (or access via a new right click option) about which Contract buyers should turn up. Timing restrictions will still apply, in that you'd have to wait until the next day for them to turn up. Doing this will overwrite the standard game mechanic, but that can be turned back on by chatting to Granny at any time. Small, Medium and Large buyers can now each individually be set.
  • Two tiles in the north-west paddock of Player-owned-Farm should no longer cause the player to be stuck under certain circumstances.
  • Spirit yaks from summoning and zygomites from farming will now be able to be harvested with a full inventory, where one of your items (yak pouch or a mushroom) will be replaced as it reveals itself to be a creature.
  • There was an erroneous check for contract buyers that meant if your first login of the day was on a free to play world, the buyers wouldn't refresh when they were supposed to. Now, if you're member, on your first login of the day, despite what world you log into, the contract buyers will correctly refresh.
  • Adjusted values of shiny-boosting traits to Sparkling (+1%), Glistening (+1.5%) and Radiant (+2.5%) (which is an increase overall if you stack all three on the same animal).
  • Removed a guaranteed drop of ghostly essence when the As the Rooster Crows Player-owned-Farm animal perk is active; it now only increases drop chances for an amount of kills after you hear the rooster's crow, as described.

• patch 1 October 2018 (Update):
  • Farm totem perks and skilling potions buff bar icon can now be toggled on/off.
  • Players can no longer light fires inside pens in Player Owned Farm.
  • The farming skill guide will now correctly show farming fragment rates at level 120.
  • RuneScore is now recorded correctly for Player Owned Farm achievements.

• patch 24 September 2018 (Update):
  • Corrected a message when buying the bank chest upgrade on the Manor farm.
  • Chocolate milk from cows is now correctly certed when gathering produce.
  • Milton the Miller (North Ardougne Mill) now has a farming shop icon once again.
  • You can now correctly teleport to Manor farm using the master farmers outfit.
  • Buttercap mushrooms now appear as Buttercaps when adding mushrooms to troughs on your farm.
  • Small tweaks have been made to increase the odds of a shiny animal.
  • After unlocking the bank chest at the Manor Farm it will now provide bank functions like auto-healing, keepsaking, the ability to activate the Magic skillcape perk and so on.
  • Unchecked eggs for dragons and spiders now have a lootbeam when they are received as a drop.
  • Potions newly introduced with the player-owned-farm can now be decanted manually.
  • Players can now add Jellyfish (blue and green) to food trough.
  • Players can now empty buckets of flavoured milk.
  • Carnivorous chinchomps are now further confirmed as eating everything (rather than just meat).
  • Collecting honey from the Manor Farm apiary will now contribute towards filling your Farming Urns.
  • Some animal breeding messages have been updated in player owned farm for consistency
  • There was an error in the breeding log for Golden sheep, where the log wouldn't recognise the birth. This is now fixed. Many apologies.
  • Missing blocking has been added to the west side of Granny Potterington's farmhouse.
  • You no longer get a message that you need inv space when opening the farmers market with a full inv. This was caused by a redundant check on the farm totems and we've instead moved the check to a requirement for buying the totems. As a result, totems will now appear locked if you don't have space to buy one.
  • A typo in one of the health checks for PoF animals has been fixed.
  • We've slightly improved the chance to breed a Daemoncap Zygomite

• patch 17 September 2018 (Update):
  • Added Balthazar to the player owned farm.
  • A grammatical oddity when inspecting female animals in the "Add/Remove Animals" Player Owned Farm interface has been fixed.
  • The "Destroy empty buckets when farming" will now factor in interactions between the new buckets of Player Owned Farm manure and compost bin. Tick it if you want to get rid of your buckets, untick it if you'd rather keep them!
  • Removed force walk tile north of Ardougne.
  • The player will no longer get trapped in the windmill while completing The Chosen Commander quest.
  • You can now use noted raw sailfish on feeding troughs at your farm. Sorry about that.
  • Removed two forcewalk tiles next to Ardougne beehives.
  • Fixed a patch of ground outside of the Ardougne Mill that was using old textures.
  • Changed the Ardougne Lunar spell to be outside the breeding pen.
  • Also tweaked the Ardougne cloak teleport to not be around the compost bin, but closer to the herb patch and breeding pen.
  • All the new farmer outfit pieces now have a retrieve all option on them, when reclaiming from Diango.

  • Any new rabbits you breed will now be bankable and tradeable. There were some very strange cases where if you kept your original tutorial rabbits in the breeding pen, then a majority of other bred rabbits would be classed as tutorial ones and therefore not bankable and tradeable.

  • The Ardougne task achievement, Green Fingers, can now consistently be completed.
  • Hopping worlds on the farm will no longer make your animals appear to be invisible for various lengths of time.

Trivia

• The animal stats for Weight, Attractiveness (beauty marks), and Speed (gallopers) are currently purely cosmetic. There were plans for shows for the player to compare their animals with other players' that would provide a prize for the heaviest, prettiest, or fastest animals entered. These plans have been placed on hold for the moment.
• Logging out or hopping worlds removes the muck from the animal pens.
• Since elapsed ticks are caught up when a player enters the farm, animals continue to breed and food continues to deplete any time the player is away, even if the player becomes free-to-play.
• The perk "Randomly Accessed Memories" is a reference to the computing term Random-access memory (RAM).
• The perk "Nigel's Gift" references Nigel the companion yak of Zaida.
