so I've got my ironman character in rather good spot atm gear, combat and quest wise but the problem I have is farming and herblore. I've absolutely no idea how to train farming, I tried to grow some seeds but they all got diseased and it took a lot of time and it was annoying process overall imo. I've tried to watch some guides but they're all just "grow this till x level of farming". seeing as farming is crucial part for ironmen herblore and potion supplies and knowing that if I want my ironman to progress, I'd have to train farming all the time, just killed the vibe for me. I'm even considering switching from ironman to normie. yes, farming felt that bad.
so my question is how farming works exactly and how should I start training it? my farming lvl is 21 atm and I've got good amount of seeds in bank from master farmer.
also how other ironmen get hundreds of prayer and other pots? is it just through farming and herbs you get from monsters?
appreciate any help, thanks!
