Fruit trees may be harvested repeatedly, with a fruit growing back every 30 minutes on average, for a maximum of six per fruit tree.
Harvesting trips are most efficient when the player has, at most, 4 items in their inventory, to minimise time spent running to the tool leprechauns to note fruits. An efficient inventory setup includes a Construction cape, Farming cape, a Teleportation crystal and a Pendent of ates. This way, the player only needs to use the noting function of the tool leprechaun once.
Recommended route:
- Teleport to the Brimhaven house portal using the Construction cape and run north, harvesting all 6 fruits from the fruit tree.
- Teleport to Lletya using a Teleport crystal and run south-east, harvesting all 6 fruits from the fruit tree. Note 12 fruits with the tool leprechaun located 2 tiles north of the tree.
- Teleport to the Farming Guild using the Farming cape and run north into the advanced tier of the guild, harvesting all 6 fruits from the fruit tree.
- Teleport to Catherby using the Catherby Teleport and run east to the shore, harvesting all 6 fruits from the fruit tree.
- Teleport to your player-owned house and use the Spirit tree to teleport to the Gnome Stronghold. Harvest all 6 fruits from the fruit tree to the east before returning back to the Spirit tree and travelling to the Tree Gnome Village. Squeeze through the fence to the south-west and exit the maze quickly by following Elkoy. Once out of the maze, travel south-west and harvest all 6 fruits from the fruit tree.
- Finally, teleport to Kastori using the Pendent of ates and run south-west, harvesting all 6 fruits from the fruit tree.
Picking Fruit Trees Profitability
