Horse Farms
 

I don't play Classic anymore but do Horse Farms still exist? I always loved Classic because decorating your house is fun <3

What do you mean by horse farms

It was an old thing. Basically columns of grass patches separated and people used horses to blow fire to get gralats.

Oh well I don't think they are because I haven't seen any

TBH, kinda wanna come back just to spend $1000000000 to decorate my house. Too bad I got hacked...

Yes, you can still create horse farms in guild houses.

He's looking for public ones though, because you'd need multiple people using them for it to be effective.

farming out the same patch of grass over and over doesn't yield much. Unless you've got a lot of people in your home.

I'd suggest just using a bomb over horse farming - collecting each gralat as they spawn.

But having a horse farm doesn't require too much of my money.

You can make 2,500g/hr by horse farming in a guild house.
You waste a lot of money if you use bombs, instead of a mount.
A mount can burn 3-5 rows of 2x5 grass tiles (30-50 tiles, depends if it's a 1p or a 2p mount), while a single bomb can only get you up to 16 tiles.

Unless I just haven't seen this advanced non-mount farm, mount>throwing.

Yes, you can still horse farm. I use the top row to buy more bombs.

I'm talking about horse farms where everyone came to your house and burned patches of grass

sounds like a codeshop lol

No, sadly farming in guild houses is no longer a social activity for most people. Most people just farm alone now. I havent seen a "80% farm" advertisement in graal city for several years; Public farms are nothing like they used to be.

For people that dont know they were massively popular in 2011ish and looked like this;

The owners usually used fences to block off the bottom two gralats for themselves so they would benefit (this was before you could actually lock gralats). Was a reeeaaaly efficient way of farming - would get gralats to gold in like 20 mins - because the more people that were in a house the more gralats spawn. Popular belief was that the more 'lag' there was the faster gralats grew, hence people spamming the chat and using the afk emote

Farming in general stopped being popular in 2012(?) when there was an update to farming and it got nerfed. Before then literally every patch of grass was used by someone horsefarming, and most of the time people were nice enough to not steal them - i remember making gold gralats in the snowtown resort many a time, and if i remember correctly somebody actually made a black gralat there once
