Plant snapdragon seeds with ultracompost across your herb patches and harvest them with magic secateurs roughly 80 minutes later. Profit per run depends heavily on the seed-to-herb price gap, which FlaxPicker tracks live.

Requirements

  • Skills: 62 Farming
  • Items: Magic secateurs
  • Note: Assumes 9 herb patches with teleports to each. Snapdragon seeds are expensive, so a few dead patches hurt.
