Is Hespori a good thing to farm?

[dusty agate]

Pun intended 😁

But I just unlocked hespori and while my combat stats are currently a bit low (mid 50s) is it worth to regularly farm the hespori beyond the bucket on ironman?

Yep! it's your only source of Anima seeds, which are a major help in your farming/herb levels

It can also drop some other good tree/fruit tree seeds, and white lily seeds

white lily seeds are useful for farming contracts, don't think you can get those seeds anywhere else

and farming contracts are good to keep up your prayer pot stash for later PVM when you're a bigboi iron 🙂

I'm getting there!

Also Hespori seeds are kind of common when you do regular herb & birdhouse runs, so it's not that difficult to maintain a steady supply and always have a hespori growing

keep in mind I'm kinda bias though. I got spooned the bucket at like 3kc, but I enjoy farming Hespori every 1.5 days

Only thing not mentioned above is the xp is very good

Bucket is very op and worth doing for that alone

Kills are a real pain before like 60s with d scim, b ring, barrows gloves etc

Thats good to know!

Yah part of me asking was I wondering if I should pause my grind to 75 farm to get combat stats where I need to properly fight this guy

[slim pulsar]

no?

Kills are still doable with peasant gear, I did it with rune scim and no better than addy armour

they are a challenge and not always garunteed but it is still doable and imo the challenge is a good bit of fun

iirc kills would take about 4-5 minutes in that gear, but that's only once every 1.5 days so doesn't make sense to put off farming for such a small increase

at worst you could just opt to not do hespori

Thanks for all the tips everyone!
