Introduction:
Farmer Blinkin is in a bit of an predicament. His farm has turned into a fluffy-tailed nightmare, with endless numbers of rabbits munching away at his most prized crops. He needs you to help him clear out the bunnies and collect the crops for him! This mini-game is safe unless you have been poisoned.
Note: You can NOT bring pets or familiars into this area!
Quest Requirements (Optional):
Must have completed Garden of Tranquility to buy the Super compost potion from Mrs Winkin.
Items:
Item Image Use
Spade Used to dig up the holes. If you have forgotten yours, you can buy one from Mrs Winkin for 5 gp.
Coins N/A A minimum of 30k is advised due to the prices of flags. Varies if you’re good at using your flags.
Flag Used to send a message to the farmer that you think there is a seed in that spot. Be wary though, when you put this up, rabbits will come too. You obtain 10 of these for free when you start the mini-game, but Mrs Winkin or Farmer Blinkin will sell you 10 for 500 gp each after that. You can also buy some from the Reward shop for 50 points each. You can only have 10 of these up at once. You will obtain these back for free each time a farmer digs up a seed when you placed a flag on a hole. When you leave the mini-game area, your flags will be saved and given back to you by Blinkin or Winkin when you buy more for free.
Ogleroot You may come across these when you’re digging up holes or buy from Blinkin for 10 gp each. These are used to fend off the rabbits for a short period of time when you set up a flag. You gain 30 Hunter experience when used.
Recommended Items:
Boots of lightness
Spotted/Spottier cape
Energy (super/not) potions
Penance gloves
What to do:
To get to Farmer Blinkin’s farm, you must talk to a Tool Leprechaun at any of the Farming patches to get there (or just right-click him and click ‘Teleport’). Once inside, you can go talk to Mrs Winkin for a detailed introduction of the mini-game or by looking at the Signposts nearby for information on what to do.
Your points will be recorded and shown to you in the top-right portion of your game screen:
Next you must get your flags so you can flag the seed spots. You can obtain them from Mrs Winkin if you talk to her about what to do outside in the farm or you can talk to Farmer Blinkin and get them from him. Your first set of 10 are free, but after that they are 1k each if you lose them. If you leave the mini-game through the portal, you will get money in return for however many flags and ogleroots you have on you. Flags are 1k each in return and Ogleroots are 10 gp each.
Once you have your flags and spade, head out into the farm by climbing over the stiles. Now you have three options from these holes: Dig, Flag, and Inspect. A good way to limit your loss of flags and make sure before you flag or dig, inspect the hole. We ADVISE you to inspect first to be very sure what your next option will be. Only dig in spots where you are certain that there are no seeds. This is the best strategy. When you inspect a hole, a thing will pop on and off underneath your Points amount on the top-right corner of your screen.
When you dig a hole, there are three things that can happen. One: A number pops up where you dug, two: A bunch of numbers and a large space appears, or three: Seeds show up from the ground.
When you dig and a number shows up, you get a point equal to the amount the number is (1-8). This is where we advise you to Inspect the holes first before digging just in case you dig up some seeds on accident.
When you dig and a bunch of numbers and a large space is shown, you have unlocked a patch that tells you that there is no seed in that area. When this happens, you get points equal to the number of points that show up. If you dig up a seed, you will lose 10 points.
When you determine the position of a hole with a seed or are very sure, flag the hole with one of your flags. This will summon the Farmer to come and dig the seed up. If you are successful and a seed is dug up the Farmer will reward you and those around you with a random amount of points, dependent on your Farming level. Playing this mini-game with a large number of people will allow each player to get bonus rewards for other’s success. Rabbits, however, will also be summoned when you place a flag. Ogleroots, when used with the rabbits will fend them off and you obtain 30 Hunter experience.
Hints:
When you are in a predicament where you have a mass area found and you can’t find the right hole because you’ve inspected them all, here’s a hint. When you have this completed, you can search for the holes that are in between areas that are filled with numbers and only a few holes remain in the middle of it, you can flag a spot in there. In the picture below shows an example of what we mean. Note: It’s not 100% that it’s a seed, but it’s a hint that’s helpful and saves some time.
When you are done, you may leave the farms through the port on the north-east corner of her housing area. You will be returned to the area where you teleported via the Leprechaun.
Rewards:
You now have points and you want to spend them. Where do you go? You head over to the Rewards shop run by Mrs Winkin! In this trading screen, you can buy seeds, super compost potions, experience and more flags. To get Super compost potions, you must have completed the Garden of Tranquility Quest.
