The tools that are needed to begin farming can be bought from both Farming shops and farmers, which can be found all over the world. You also have the option to trade with other players for farming equipment, as every item apart from the watering can is tradable.

Farming Shops can be identified using the Farming shop icon on both the world map and the in-game mini maps.

Farming Shop Icon

There are four farming shops found throughout RuneScape:

Baskets and sacks are useful because they allow you to carry many items in one inventory slot. The baskets and sacks are mainly used to hold the produce used as payment to the gardeners.

Baskets and sacks cannot hold all items grown from farming. Baskets can store up to five items and can hold apples, oranges, tomatoes, strawberries and bananas. While sacks can store up to ten items and can hold potatoes, onions and cabbages.

As mentioned in the table above these two items can be player-made. This can be done using the crafting skill.

Gardening Leprechauns can be found wandering around farming patches around RuneScape. They look after various farming tools for you and will not charge anything, so you will find that your farming equipment is more accesible to you. So if you are just passing a patch with a couple of seeds, you have all the equipment ready to start farming. If you store items with one leprechaun you are able to retrieve them from any other leprechaun within the game.
