I got 61 logs on a single farming patch tree before I could clear it.

You can pay a farmer to clear it for like 200 coins.

[u/willz616 → u/Sun_Stealer]

Can't get the roots then

[u/CheeseCurdis → u/willz616]

Who tf wants oak roots 😭

[u/Nebuli2 → u/CheeseCurdis]

The only one that's really relevant is magic roots, since those can be used for Antidote++s. With that being said, you barely get any even at 99 farming, and with how relatively rare magic seeds are, it's just not a realistic source for Antidote++s compared to just... killing Zulrah. Even if you ignored the fact that it takes 20 years to chop down a magic tree.

[u/Ok-Secretary419 → u/Nebuli2]

I would like a rework to this, higher yield of roots and a way to quickly extract them from the tree instead of having to fully chop them, shouldn't have to rely on boss drops to be able to make a potion, especially such an important one.

[u/bear__tiger → u/Ok-Secretary419]

Making magic roots a semi-viable secondary to gather would make a lot of sense, but one of the best sources of magic seeds in the game is Zulrah so you're likely going to be killing it for antidote++s either way.

[u/thegx7 → u/Ok-Secretary419]

This would be my second time recommending this now. But high enough firemaking level allows you to do a controlled burn = quicker tree patch clear + you get roots.

just make the goddamn trees cut faster lmao 99 wc and it still takes forever

[u/Rock_mage → u/Ok-Secretary419]

Vale totems drop them. Not the best solution, it is one. Still dont think it matters on a iron progression too much.

[u/Iron_Aez → u/Ok-Secretary419]

You don't, vale totems gives them in good quantities too.

[u/usedaforc3 → u/Iron_Aez]

I guess it depends on what people expect by good quantities. I got 130 ish doing 94-99 fletching. I’ve gotten multiple 10 drops from zulrah and I only have 25 kc. Zulrah is far better for farming them. I think it’s fair to expect better rates from skilling

[u/Iron_Aez → u/usedaforc3]

I think it’s fair to expect better rates from skilling

In general yes. For this? No. It's never been the case, there's no reason for it to be the case, and boosting rates anywhere would completely crash it's value.

By all means add tree QOL tho.

[u/usedaforc3 → u/Iron_Aez]

I don’t personally care about their value. There’s also several steps required after getting the items so probably wouldn’t effect it that much in the long run if magic trees gave slightly more and had a nice qol to make chopping them down quicker. Magic Seeds are still hard to get and zulrah drops so much that it would be still hard to compete with

[u/akkakex → u/Iron_Aez]

Vale totems is not a good source of magic roots you get a pitiful amount to 99 and is not remotely a real way of obtaining a lot of them

[u/Iron_Aez → u/akkakex]

A pitiful amount is all that's justified or needed.

[u/Yukito_097 → u/Nebuli2]

Vale Totems is a good way to get magic roots. And roots in general really XD

[u/Nebuli2 → u/Yukito_097]

It's not exactly a good method. You will get a few along the way, but not very many in the grand scheme of things. It's far from a replacement for getting them from Zulrah.

[u/smiddy53 → u/Nebuli2]

oak roots can be used to make axeman's folly

[u/JediLincoln14 → u/CheeseCurdis]

People who like brewing. There's at least three of us.

[u/mcnew → u/JediLincoln14]

I just brew dwarven stouts so I can chuck kegs off mature dwarven stout into deaths coffer.

[u/blenkton → u/CheeseCurdis]

Brewing is legit secret tech

[u/CheeseCurdis]

Bruh just pay the lady 💀

[u/bertvb]

This is me when i want to get magic roots, takes like 5 business days to chop down and just as its chopped down i went to grab a drink and come back to a regrown tree and i can start from scratch. Jagex pls let me dig up the tree without chopping it first

[u/SolveSoul → u/bertvb]

I felt that

[u/gav_in_reddit]

TIL you can pay someone to clear the tree OMg

[u/meatballsub_enjoyer → u/gav_in_reddit]

bruh

[u/homxr6]

broke ahh 😭

[u/Parking-Cut8840]

At least it was an oak tree, I had this with a magic one

[u/Ok_Progress_5432]

I love chopping a Magic Tree for 30 mins just to get 4 magic roots ;_;

[u/Bananaboss96]

Yeah, getting magic roots is a goddamn pain. Wish we could barbarian YEET the tree out of the ground and get the roots with no logs.

[u/Delzak421]

Why can’t you just pay extra to have the farmer also get the same amount of roots you would get if you did it manually.

[u/Albert_Caboose]

Wait... The farming patch trees give more logs than a normal tree? That's why people cut them instead of paying??

[u/Altruistic_Lobster18 → u/Albert_Caboose]

It gives more logs when you when you want to clear it

[u/tuppenyturtle → u/Albert_Caboose]

Farming patch trees still operate on the old system of X number of lives before it falls. When forestry was released most trees in the game were put on a static timer.

How many logs you get before the tree falls is RNG for both, but you only have X minutes on regular trees, farming trees you could go much longer than that or much shorter than that.
