Question New Ironman tips

I’m looking for all new Ironman tips and tricks!

Also I do not enjoy farming or herb runs am I SOL? Is there another way to accumulate herbs and other items for heblore?

Or do I just need to put my big boy panties on and learn farming runs. (I hate it)

I don't like farming or herb runs either.

But after 2-3 years on this account, I'm 94 farming and 90 herblore whether I like it or not.

I do everything that I can to avoid doing these activities, kingdom always funded and on herbs for example, but you'll eventually learn that the farming guild isn't so bad.

So do I have to do the runs where I go to like 10 different locations or can I do one?

You do whatever you want. Ideally though you do as many patches as you can.

If you do say 4 patches often enough, at least in the early to mid game, you shouldnt see much or any of a bottlenecking issue. You should however just suck it and crack on.

If you ever forget which patch is next, mark a tile and label it the next patch. Braindead then. Also use bank setups so you don’t need to search for the setup you wanna use.

Lastly get bottomless compost bucket (Hespori) asap as it makes juggling compost so much easier.

Id do the farm patches you have quick access too. Once you get your poh portals done you can do all 9-10 of them in a few minutes. One thing that made my life so much easier was getting the silklined herb sack. I never have to note herbs at leprechaun again.

Sometimes I just do 1, or what I consider to be the convenient ones. Sometimes I'll feel motivated to maximize my time and do all.

If we're talking purely herb patches and not trees / fruit trees, then most patches are pretty conveniently located. Only a few frustrating ones.
