Details
Farming grimy torstol can be a very profitable way to spend a few minutes at a time. However, it most profitable when all possible items to maximize the crop yield:

Without these items, herb farming is much less profitable. One could expect about 6.8 herbs per patch and a 10% death rate, but with all of the above, an average of 9.8 herbs per patch can be achieved, meaning 58 per run.

Items such as the Farmer's outfit and Falador shield 2 or higher will also increase experience gained. A Modified farmer's hat will also save sowed seeds 2% of the time and offers 3 free teleports to the Morytania allotment per day.

Start your run with 6 torstol seeds, 6 supercompost, transportation to get to all six patches and whatever yield- and experience-boosting items you have. At each location, harvest any available herbs, note them with the tool leprechaun, compost the patch, and plant a new seed.

  • Use the cabbage port option on your Explorer's ring to teleport to the patch south of Falador .
  • If you've completed My Arm's Big Adventure, Teleport to Trollheim and use the agility shortcuts to the west. Continue through an area filled with aggressive trolls and into the stronghold. Run south through the stronghold, to a door, and then north to a ladder. Climb it to get to the patch. The Livid Farm spell Trollheim Teleport (Lunar) can also be used, but you must be on lunar spells.
  • Empty the Ectophial to Port Phasmatys and run west.
  • Teleport to Ardougne and run north-east, or use the Ardougne cloak teleport to get to the patch instantly.
  • Teleport to Camelot and run east until you reach the patch north of Catherby, or teleport by using a lodestone to Catherby then run northwest.
  • Finally if you've done Plague's End teleport to Prifddinas using Crystal teleport seed and selecting Crwys.
From start to finish, this process takes about five minutes, and the new seeds you planted can be checked in 80 minutes. You could sell your herbs after each run, or wait a while and sell them.
