[[Lumbridge]], [[Seers' Village]], [[Yanille]], [[Aldarin]], and [[Entrana]] [[hops patch]]es \|Category = Farming \|Intensity = Low \|Details = '''This guide assumes an average of ~~{{#expr:{{#var:bestyield}}/5}}~~15 ~~hops~~cotton bolls from each patch, hence ~~{{#var:bestyield}}~~75 ~~hops~~bolls in total per run. Profit per hour may vary depending on your yield.''' {{Main\|~~Yanillian Hops~~Cotton (~~plant~~Farming)#~~Variable~~Average ~~crop~~harvest yield}} Farming [[~~Hops~~cotton boll]]s can be a very profitable way to spend a few minutes at a time. [[Magic secateurs]] help increase profits due to the 10% boost to crop yield. The [[harvest lives\|expected yield]] at higher Farming levels is significantly higher than at the minimum Farming requirement. Players may also choose to plant an [[Attas seed]] in the [[Farming Guild#Anima patch\|anima patch]] of the Farming Guild, which will increase the expected yield to 32~16.5 cotton ~~hops~~bolls per plant on average, for a total of ~~160~~82.5 ~~hops~~bolls per run. Additionally~~, while not the case for most hops~~, it may be beneficial to pay a nearby [[Group of Advanced Gardeners\|gardener]] to watch over your crops to ensure they don't become [[Disease\|diseased]]., although the price of [[hemp]] is typically prohibitively high for this purpose. Players should bring 15 [[~~{{#var:bestseed}}~~cotton seed]]s, and any means of teleportation. Then, players can start their hops run at any hops patch withdrawing any additional supplies needed from the [[Tool leprechaun]]. After planting, remember to apply the [[Ultracompost]] before moving on to the next patch. An example of a hops run is provided below: Line 126 ⟶ 46: #A dramen staff is needed to get to the Aldarin hops patch via the fairy ring before completion of the elite [[Lumbridge & Draynor Diary]], but Dramen staffs are not allowed on Entrana, so must be banked before heading there. }} ~~=Farming Hops Profitability=~~ The below table details all farmable hops, their profitability, and the expected experience gained per run based on an average of {{#var:bestyield}} hops per run. Players wishing to level farming may want to consider farming hops with a slightly lower Profit Per Instance but significantly higher Average Farming Experience Per Instance. All prices are calculated using current [[Grand Exchange]] market prices, meaning the actual profit per hour may vary from what is stated here, especially for lower volume items.
