There is also a cactus patch found in the eastern wing of the Farming Guild, using a skills Necklace or a Farming skillcape will grant you the quickest way of travel. (you can also plant your own Spirit Tree within the guild though you would need to have level 85 farming to access the advanced tier of the guild ) Note that you need to have earned at least 45% favour with Hosidius.
The minimum yield is always three, higher farming levels yield a higher average, but at 99 farming, the average is around ten spines. Spines can be harvested once every 25 minutes, up to a total of three spines every 75 minutes.
Cactus spines are used to make weapon poison(+) and to pay farmers to care for yew trees. To get to the patch, simply use a ring of dueling or an amulet of glory to teleport to Al-Kharid. Pick the spines, possibly noting them with the tool leprechaun, and then bank them.
This method works well with other harvesting money-makers, such as picking papayas or coconuts. The 75 minute timer also makes it coincide well with herb-farming runs (which can be done every 80 minutes).It is strongly recommended to check the live prices on the Grand Exchange before making large investments in any method.
