Farming
The Olympian farm yard at home, eleven custom crops from Ambrosia to Nyxshade, and what each harvest is actually for.
The farm yard
The Farming teleport (Skills tab, or the Herblore one - they share it) drops you in the farm south of the plaza. Demeter (Farming) stands at the gate and sells every tool - rake, dibber, secateurs, watering can, spade, plant cure - plus all the stock seeds, for Dracma.
The yard has eighteen beds:
| Beds | Count | Olympian crops |
|---|---|---|
| Allotment (3x3) | 4 | Ambrosia, Nectar vine |
| Herb | 2 | Moly, Asphodel, Heliosbloom, Nereid frond, Nyxshade |
| Flower | 2 | Laurel |
| Tree (3x3) | 8 | Olive, Golden apple, Pomegranate - any sapling in any tree bed |
| Fruit tree | 2 | Golden apple, Pomegranate |
Compost bins take weeds (250 xp a weed, 15 weeds = 
Compost). Trees grow without watering.
Olympian crops
All eleven seeds come from Athena's Skilling Point Store (1,500 - 4,000 points). Every crop has three growth stages and grows in minutes, not hours.
| Seed | Bed | Level | Harvest | Plant xp | Harvest xp |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
 Ambrosia seed | Allotment | 99 |  Ambrosia crystal | 2,500 | 20,000 |
 Moly seed | Herb | 99 |  Moly | 2,500 | 20,000 |
 Laurel seed | Flower | 99 |  Laurel sprig | 2,500 | 20,000 |
 Heliosbloom seed | Herb | 99 |  Grimy heliosbloom | 2,500 | 20,000 |
 Pomegranate sapling | Fruit tree | 99 |  Pomegranate | 2,500 | 10,000 |
 Nectar vine seed | Allotment | 120 |  Nectar grapes | 6,000 | 40,000 |
 Asphodel seed | Herb | 120 |  Asphodel | 6,000 | 40,000 |
 Nereid frond seed | Herb | 120 |  Grimy nereid frond | 6,000 | 40,000 |
 Golden apple sapling | Fruit tree | 120 | Golden apple | 6,000 | 20,000 |
 Olive sapling | Tree | 140 |  Athena's olives | 12,500 | 125,000 |
 Nyxshade seed | Herb | 140 |  Grimy nyxshade | 12,500 | 75,000 |
XP is the base on-screen drop before your multipliers; harvest xp is per item.
- Fruit trees carry six fruit per cycle. Pick them all and the tree regrows after one growth step - no replanting.
- The olive is chopped down (four swings) for six Athena's olives, leaving a stump you clear with a spade before replanting.
- Allotments and herbs yield several pulls each; Green Thumb adds a pull per rank and a chance at two per pull.

Tools worth having
Talents
The Harvest tree (::talents) has two nodes written for this yard: Green Thumb (patches last an extra pull per rank, any pull can give two) and Quick Growth (crops and trees grow 20% faster per rank, up to 60%). Harvest itself doubles every 10th pull and Worldshaper makes that triple.
