Map

The Tithe Farm is a Farming based minigame that is located in Hosidius, requiring level 34 Farming to play. 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.

The following items must be brought with you:

• 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.

Before entering the planting area, players must pick up one of three tiers of seed from the table. Only one tier may be used at a time, and up to 10,000 may be picked up. Players should pick up the highest tier of seed they have the requirements for, as higher seeds yield more farming experience, with the game otherwise playing out identically.

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

Boosts can be used, but the level must be boosted before taking seeds and before planting them. Plants may be watered and harvested without boosting.

• Teleport using Minigame Teleport, either through any spellbook or the Grouping interface, by selecting Tithe Farm. 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

Once the player has chosen seeds appropriate to their Farming level, they may enter the farm and plant seeds in any of the empty patches. Each seed must be watered three times; before minutes 1, 2 and 3 respectively, or they will wilt and die. After 3 minutes they will be fully grown and may be harvested for fruit, which can then be deposited into any of several sacks around the farm for additional Farming experience. Fully grown plants cannot die. For every 3 plants a player deposits in the sack, they will earn 1 point and for every 100 plants deposited, they will earn an additional 2 points. These points may be spent to receive rewards.

Players can double the growth rate by using Gricoller's fertiliser which is given to the player upon entering the farm, however this may be less efficient (see Strategy section).

Upon leaving 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.

Players are awarded Farming experience, as well as 1 point for every third fruit deposited to spend in Farmer Gricoller's Rewards shop. To earn points, players must deposit harvested fruits in sacks. The amount of experience and points awarded depends on how many fruits are deposited. As many as 10,000 fruits can be harvested and deposited (in batches of up to 100) in a single instance. If the sack is partially full and the player attempts to deposit while having enough fruits in their inventory to surpass the sack's limit of 100, the player will deposit enough to fill the sack, and the sack will become empty again.

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. Additionally, double experience is awarded for the 75th through 100th fruit added to the sack, and 2 bonus points are awarded to players when they add the 100th fruit.

Players can only possess a maximum of 16,000 points. Fruits deposited after this cap has been reached will still award Farming experience, but no points.

To purchase all collectible items (outfit, farming tools, and Auto-weed), a player would need 1,150 points, which comes out to 3,290 fruits if consistently depositing in batches of 100. Gathering 3,300 fruits with the 25x4 method takes roughly 10.5 hours.^{[r 1]}

• 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.
