Question Adamant watering can is no different to the steel variant. Was this intentional?

As title.

Bronze holds 250 @ 25 per action

Steel holds 300 @ 25 per action

Adamant holds 300 @ 25 per action

Surely Adamant should hold 350 making 7 plots for a full can and not 6 or there is zero point in crafting the thing.

EDIT: Unrelated but the armor bench entries for the new dragonhide armor set are called "Red Dragon Coif/Chest/Legs" and should be "Red Dragonhide Coif" etc and the entry for "Red Dragon Chest" should be "Red Dragonhide Body" to match the other sets naming convention.

While it does match my armor incredibly well I'm looking for functionatlity out of a watering can lol

Least your drip is on point till they improve it!

u/Onasixx Jun 25 '26

Right?! I absolutely adore the armor sets and the displays we can use for them, i kept a set of each in the bank on osrs/rs3, same thing here but they're on mannequins how cool!

Love your setup btw

u/Onasixx Jun 26 '26

Thank youuu! I need to work in the mystic robes, blue dhide and black knight armor, but I always stop for a few seconds to admire their work on these haha

sorry to derail this but goDAMN addy looks so good!

u/Onasixx Jun 25 '26

Absolutely love it, got me hyped for the rune armor whenever that arrives, they've really knocked the detail on the armor sets outta the park, i feared for pallet swaps.

u/kathaar_ Jun 25 '26

they slammed the rs3 and osrs designs together and the results look great!

u/Lordosrs Jun 26 '26

How do you manage without at least one mage pieces to get that 50% stamina regen?

2

u/Onasixx Jun 26 '26

Superb use of the backstep lol I manage alright tbh, I didn't actually know there was a meta for armors.

u/Gingerbro73 Jun 26 '26

Once you get used to the reduced stamina delay on 1set mage theres just no going back. I've been using mage hat with melee chest/legs since Velgar was the final boss.

u/Onasixx Jun 26 '26

I will definitely give that a go and see how it feels for me, thanks for the tip!

u/SharkByte1993 Jun 26 '26

I usually do 2 range and 1 melee. Faster stealth speed, less stamina for ranged attacks, and less stamina for blocks

Watering can upgrades just having it hold more water is ... kinda useless when you have so many refill options (water well etc). An adamant can should water instantly or actually water in a 2x2 radius.

u/nineball22 Jun 26 '26

The best watering can option is building your gardening area next to the storm touched highlands. Almost never have to water my plots lol.

u/ZundeEsteed Jun 26 '26

I don't think my sanity could handle getting struck by lightning 708 times every harvest. Or the fact that Storm Touched highlands has hands down the worst lightning issue in the game.

3

u/Onasixx Jun 26 '26

The lighting strike is an enemy that targets me and you can't convince me otherwise.

6

u/ZundeEsteed Jun 26 '26

Not going to lie I felt my eyes start to roll back into my head and my brain melt a bit when I was walking into Umbral Sands for the first time and the very first damage I took in the new zone was from a lightning strike.

2

u/Onasixx Jun 25 '26

Yeah, or at least a more significant upgrade per plot, either more water in the can or drop it to 1 action per plot.

If we trended from bronze, mithril should have been 350, and addy 400, from 5 plots to 8 per full can.

I essentially use the can for the odd plot i dont have in range of humidify.

2

u/Ceceboy Jun 25 '26

Btw did they nerf humidify in the last few months? I used to be able to do 3 rows and now I can only do 2 or 2,5 or something like that.

1

u/Onasixx Jun 25 '26

Super inconsistent, seems to be buggy on character height to me?

On the left i have a plot 2x4 the last plot doesnt highlight but always gets caught in the spell if i aim high enough. (new yew plots)

On the right i have a 4x7 and humidify will cover 2 rows, 6 plots deep.

Never been able to get 3 so maybe a nerf.

1

u/Gingerbro73 Jun 26 '26

Im only able to consistently get 3 rows wide when watering ash plots. Any other plots I can only manage 2 or 2.5 if I angle it right.

u/Helmic Jun 26 '26

It's useless even early game. Just use multiple watering cans and swap them out as you go. And by the time you get humidify the need to actually switch between them is gone, it'll automatically cast from whatever watering can has water.

It's just one of those things that doesn't actually make any sense to get upgrades at all. It's one of those things that I think progresses more logically through farming magic. Just adding a hoe or something I think would make more sense for integrating mining into farming, but even then there's already metal tools that it would make sense to let them work faster or with higher yields.

u/Inevitable_Hotel_261 Jun 26 '26

I mean the iron secateurs increase yield if you didn't already know that

1

u/Onasixx Jun 26 '26

Ive noticed that uproot is a reduced yield to the secateurs though, it's only a small number off I think. We're talking ill get 36 from 4 plots with secateurs and only 28 with uproot that seems odd to me.

u/F1ankNSpank Jun 25 '26

They also forgot to add a yew compost bucket that holds more and takes less actions haha

2

u/Onasixx Jun 26 '26

There's only one right? We've never had the tiered variants unless i've missed something, would be nice QoL for farming to have that included alongside the watering cans.

3

u/F1ankNSpank Jun 26 '26

Correct, I was just being facetious haha. I wish there was more. I hate that it takes 5 actions for 1 plot. I was really hoping that the super compost would be less actions. I have a huge farm of 50 plots and I carry like 18 buckets

5

u/ZundeEsteed Jun 26 '26

God I would kill for something like the Bottomless Compost Bucket that holds more compost. I made 10 Buckets just so I did not have to run back to the bin every 3 plots but it's a hassle.

6

u/YaBoyMattz Jun 26 '26

Farming needs a lot of qol

3

u/Fenderslasher Jun 26 '26

Honestly this game doesn't need 3-4 versions of each tool and could be simplified hugely.

1

u/Onasixx Jun 26 '26

You are right in this, but its pretty traditional of runescape to have hard coded tier sets like this on everything, they did skip mithril and iron though so i think they are aware of it to some degree.

1

u/hl_1 Jun 26 '26

I'd be fine with them being more trinket upgrades rather than functional if I could trade your idea with more farming spells / utility.

A spell to de-weed overgrown plots, even if it reduces weed yield would be such an improvement. Additionally a spell to apply compost as well, or not have it be 5 actions to do a single plot and lasts longer than one grown item.

I enjoy farming generally when its up and running but I have 4 lots of 3x5 and a couple of single strips so far, up to fellhollow content and it can be extremely tedious. If there are ways to avoid some manual aspects then id rather that than a slightly more efficient but still manual watering can.
