This is a safe activity in an instanced area.

If you die here, you will not lose any of your items, including those stored inside an Item Retrieval Service (deathbank).
However, any items you drop manually on the ground will be lost.
Warning: It is still dangerous for Hardcore group iron players.

The Tithe Farm is a Farming based minigame that is located in Hosidius. The minigame revolves around intensively planting special seeds into farming patches, tending them until harvest, and depositing the produce into sacks in order to earn points. Players can speak to Farmer Gricoller for information on how to play.

If the player leaves the farm through the door, the game and score will be completely reset (though any earned points and experience will be kept). This includes removing seeds and collected fruits in the player's inventory. If the player logs out during a session, their score will remain and they'll keep all remaining seeds and collected fruits, but any planted crops will be lost.

Requirements

In order to play, players must have a minimum of 34 Farming in order to pick up the Golovanova seeds (lowest available) from the table. When trying to enter without seeds, Farmer Gricoller will stop you.

The following items are required:

• A spade
• A seed dibber (or completed Bare-handed planting)
• One or more watering cans. It is recommended to have 6 to 8 to avoid needing to refill water containers during a planting cycle while also minimising weight. A Gricoller's can can be bought and used instead once points are obtained.
• Weight-reducing items such as full graceful are not required but highly recommended to offset the weight of farming equipment.

The following seeds are available by searching the table. The game plays out identically regardless of the chosen seeds, however higher tier seeds yield more farming experience; as such, it is recommended to take the highest seed you can plant. Only one type of seed can be taken. Boosts can be used. However, it's important to note that this boosted level is only necessary for the planting phase. Once the seeds are planted, maintaining the boosted level is not required. Players can water and harvest the plants without any boosted Farming level.

• Golovanova seeds ( 34 )
• Bologano seeds ( 54 )
• Logavano seeds ( 74 )

Getting there

• Use the Grouping minigame teleport to Tithe Farm, which requires having entered Tithe Farm once before
• Use the Lovakengj Minecart Network to Hosidius South to travel directly south of the Tithe Farm
• Use the fairy ring AKR, to teleport to the Hosidius Vinery and go south
• Use a Hosidius teleport or exit a player-owned house in Hosidius and go east
• Use a Xeric's talisman to teleport to Xeric's Glade and go south-east
• Reminisce using the Kharedst's memoirs or book of the dead to Hosidius and go south-east
• Use a Skills necklace to teleport to the Woodcutting Guild and go east
• Use a Kourend Castle Teleport and go south-east

Gameplay

A player tending to several logavano fruit plants.

Once the player has chosen seeds appropriate to their Farming level, they may enter the farm. Players may choose up to 10,000 of one type of seed. Seeds can be planted in any empty patches. The plants grow very quickly and must be watered before every stage of growth (3 waterings total) to keep them alive.

The plants take 3 minutes to grow fully; they require water once before minutes 1, 2, and 3, otherwise they will wilt and die. Players can double the growth rate by using Gricoller's fertiliser (slower than some methods, see Strategy section), which is provided when players enter the minigame area.

After the plants have fully grown, the fruit can be harvested and deposited into any of several sacks around the farm for a reward of Farming experience and possibly also points. For every 3 plants a player deposits, they will earn 1 point and for every 100 plants deposited, they will earn an additional 2 points.

Rewards

Players are rewarded with farming experience and points (1 point per 3 fruit) to spend in Farmer Gricoller's Rewards. To earn points, players must deposit harvested fruits in sacks. The amount of experience and points awarded depends on how many plants are deposited. As many as 10,000 fruits can be harvested and deposited in a single instance. If the player deposits fruits while having enough to surpass 100 fruits in the sack, only enough fruits will be deposited to reach 100, and the sack will empty again. Double experience is awarded for the 75th to 100th fruit added to the sack; players receive bonus experience of 250 times the harvest experience rate when depositing the 75th fruit (1,500, 3,500, or 5,750 experience for Golovanova, Bologano, and Logavano respectively) and a bonus 2 points are awarded when the player adds the 100th fruit to the sack.

Players can only have a maximum of 1,000 points at one time, any fruit added to the sacks will still provide farming experience but no points. Players should avoid depositing more than 2,832 fruits to avoid losing points.

To get all possible collectible items (outfit and farming tools), you would need 1,150 points, which comes out to be ~3257 fruits to harvest (3,300 to be safe due to the point system calculations). Since each harvest takes 3 minutes (from planting to harvesting), if you're planting and harvesting 16 fruits at a time (4 full patches), this will take 48,852 seconds or ~13.6 - 14 hours of farming. It would be faster when doing the methods involving a 5th patch. It becomes much more convenient once you get the Gricoller's can for 200 points, which is roughly 567 fruits deposited. Keep in mind to aim for depositing in 100s when possible for maximum exp/point gain.

Trivia

• Although it is possible to obtain the Tangleroot through Tithe Farm, it is extremely unlikely; in terms of probability, it would take nearly three billion Farming experience on average, equivalent to 25,000 hours of playing.
• Even after completing the Bare-handed planting portion of Barbarian Training, the player animation in Tithe farm remains the same, showing a seed dibber.
