'''Farmers''' are level 7 and can be a challenge for new players. These are the only humans to drop the decorative [[gardening boots]]. Farmers can be fair [[melee]] training for lower levels that need experience. There is usually a farmer by [[Rat Burgiss]]. Farmers may seem weak to new players, but their level is higher than that of most new or inexperienced players, so these players risk death if they attack a farmer. However, if players run away from the farmer, he will stop chasing them after they leave a certain area.

Sometimes players hunt them for their [[gardening boots]] drops.

Player with level 10 [[Thieving]] or greater can pickpocket farmers, gaining 14.5 [[experience]] and some loot.

==Trivia==

*If you examine one of the farmers in a flax field in Taverley, the text will say "completely ignoring the hose pipe ban". This could be a reference to the drought in England.
