Many of these strategies can be done together at the same time, be sure to plan your strategy well. For quick cash, farming is not the best option, but will be a good option for players with much patience.
Notice: The Juju farming potion will give you a one in three chance of picking two herbs at a time while harvesting herbs, and lasts for 5 minutes. For the more valuable herbs, this will make a SIGNIFICANT increase in profit, and can be made from materials acquired while playing the Herblore Habitat activity.
Note: Profit depends highly on the number of crops each plant yields and if one is using the 4 allotment/herb/flower patches only. Also, profit column assumes nothing died.

| Plant torstol seeds (78,509 coins) in herb patches. You can earn 5-12 Grimy torstol herbs per seed, translating to a profit between -78,509 to 142104 per seed. Be warned though, as the average herb yield is 6.5 herbs per seed, which means a 33k loss per seed. It is recommended to use Juju farming potion to increase the average herb yield by 33% (8.6 herbs per seed vs. 6.5). With this amount of herbs almost guaranteed every time, you should get ~300k per herb run, which takes about 5 minutes of your time every hour and a half. It is also advised to get the scroll of life beforehand, as it will save you a lot of money |
