Martin the Master Gardener

Martin the Master Gardener is the leader of the G.A.G. organisation, who resides in the Draynor Village market. He is the starting point for two quests: A Fairy Tale Part I and A Fairy Tale Part II. As the master of Farming, Martin sells the Farming skill cape to players who have reached level 99 in Farming for a price of 99,000 coins. Martin also says he has 13 children.

Pickpocketing Martin
He can be pick-pocketed for seeds at level 38 Thieving. If players fail, he will say ''Cor blimey, mate! What are ye doing in me pockets?'', and they will take 30 damage and be stunned for 5 seconds.

Sometimes, Martin wanders into the pigpen, and the gate is closed by players. This traps him, and restricts his field of movement, thus making him easier to pickpocket. This also prevents the market guards from entering. Players may sell the seeds to Olivia after a certain time passed. In this case, Martin will stay in the pen until he is let out by a player, or a system update occurs. After a certain time, he will respawn outside the pen.

Fairy Tale quest series


During the quest series, players learn that Martin and several other gardeners are part of the Group of Advanced Gardeners. As gardeners, they tend to farming patches, and usually demand payment for their services.

During the quests Fairytale I - Growing Pains and Fairytale II - Cure a Queen, Martin features at the start of the quests. In Part 1, he talks about how none of his crops are growing, and requests the player to ask the other farmers why this is the case. After killing Tanglefoot, players will inform Martin that it would be okay to grow his crops.

In Part 2, Martin says that he is surprised that the player came to him after they had "apparently" lied to him about how the crops will grow.

After Part 3, To have your patches automatically weeded, you can talk to Martin the Master Gardener to unlock the ability to have gardeners keep your farming patches weed free. Then, talk to a gardener at one of the patches. (When the Fairy Queen teleports you to Martin near the end of the quest, talking to him ends the quest. You then have to talk to him again, after the quest rewards, to unlock this ability. If any patch has preexisting weeds, you'll have to remove them before this takes effect.)

Trivia

 * When you speak to Martin, he asks if it was you going through his pockets even if your thieving skill is lower than 38. It is unknown whether this is a glitch or not.
 * He was supposed to recieve a graphical update along with Draynor Village rework, but Jagex confirmed in tha FAQ that he looks good so he won't get updated.
 * When you used to attempt to pick his pockets, the message in the chatbox was displayed as "You attempt to pick the Martin's pocket." This has been fixed.
