Stealing seeds for farming

The easiest way by far to get seeds for farming is by stealing them from master farmers, you need to be a level 38 to steal from master farmers and you will get caught regularly at that level, it is however still worth it but you will just need to take extra food.
First of all you need to work out what you are thieving for is it xp or is it seeds or both, the difference being is what you take in your inventory.
You can wear whatever you like, there is a myth going around that wearing armour increases your chance of getting caught, this is not true and it is advised to wear armour if you are a lower combat level player thieving from stalls in Ardougne but stealing from master farmers is hazard free (With the exception of randoms)and the damage taken from being stunned.
When you thieve from a farmer the seeds go into your inventory, when your inventory is full you still risk the chance of getting caught but any seeds you do not already have in your inventory are not taken and you receive no xp for thieving them.
Thieving for seeds and xp, Your inventory should hold at least 1 of each seed that you want, I normally have ranaar, snapdragon, sweetcorn, melon and strawberry. to train for xp as well you should have at least one of each of the common seeds such as cabbage, barley, tomato and potato. the more types of common seeds you have the more chance of xp from your thieving attempt the rest should be food, as you eat your food when you are stunned you will have more room for seeds and more chance of xp.
Thieving for seeds only, just have one of each seed you want in your inventory and the rest food.
Thieving for xp just take no food and thieve till you die then tele back.
There are two places for thieving from master farmers the best now is Ardougne head north out of the market place and keep going towards Seers he is located by the potato field and farming shop area. the second one is at Draynor Village in the market place.
The best technique for thieving in Ardougne is to try and trap him in the field with the potatoes, he can still run around but there are no obstacles so you can just click on him and don't even need to change the camera angle, basically you just keep clicking and watch the xp mount up and the seeds pile up, be ready for new players to open the gate and let the farmer out, don't call them noobs just ask if they can keep the gate shut if they come in, not everyone understands what you are doing.
If you are stunned you take a little damage (2hp I think) just keep clicking and eat if you need to, even when stunned keep clicking so you can get back at him as soon as possible, you can eat potatoes from the field if you want but they taste carp.
As a courtesy to other players if you leave for food wait till the farmer is away from the gate leave and shut the gate as soon as you are out, it makes life easier for the other players teaches people good manners and they may do the same for you next time.
If you are full of seeds and low on health there is a bank a short way south west drop the seeds you don't want in the bank (others may want them) and it also stops newbs from opening the farm gate to get at them.
I little tip, if you are farming and going to the north ardy patch pick a few seeds until your health is low and continue to your patch, heal on the produce you grow, I did that for a long time and my thieving went up nicely.
This is also a way of making money selling high level seeds, ranaar at current prices are 20k to 25k, melons are 1k each. its not a great way nothing in thieving is a great way of making money but it is a way.
I hope you enjoy this post please add a comment and I will keep the guides coming, digg it and I will love you forever.
