Master Farmer

A Master Farmer is a farmer who cannot be attacked and can only be acted on by pickpocketing. It takes level 38 Thieving to pickpocket them. If the theft is successful, then the player will receive 43 Thieving experience and a random seed (tree and fruit tree seeds cannot be obtained in this manner). Normally, a thief will steal seeds worth under a few hundred coins, but will get a Ranarr seed, or Snapdragon seed about once every 15–25 minutes. If the theft attempt fails, then the player is stunned for three seconds and hit for 30 life points. After a theft attempt from the Master Farmers, the player will be unable to buy seeds from Olivia, a seed seller who is in Draynor Village market, for the next fifteen minutes.

Other good steals include Watermelon Seed, Torstol Seed , and many other herb seeds. At higher thieving levels, pickpocketing master farmers can produce large amounts of coins for the thief. With 99 thieving, ardougne cloak 3 and gloves of silence, a player can make anywhere from 600k-700k an hour as people have reported to have done over 1000 successful pickpockets in a row.



If you choose to train your Thieving skill on a master farmer it is recommended that once you steal the rare seeds (ranarr, snapdragon, torstol, etc.) you keep at least one of them in your inventory due to the fact that your pack will fill up very quickly with various types of "junk seeds". If you steal seeds from the master farmer whilst your pack is full you still have the chance to successfully steal from the farmer, but you will not receive the seed if it is not currently in your inventory, meaning you could possibly lose out on a valuable seed.

It may also be a good strategy to pickpocket those in Draynor, banking seeds and replenishing health with wine from Wine stall. Furthermore, players with Saradomin godswords can use their Healing Blade special on nearby targets to heal the damage they take from the master farmers (Also using the Redemption prayer cas of the Prayer restore side of the SGS spec attack, mind you this can be risky at higher thief' level as they may not attack you before you run out of prayer), or players with Enhanced Excalibur can use the special to heal 200 life points.

To stop the Master Farmer moving around too much, try to surround him with several players or against walls, obstacles. However, if one player move away or another player runs through him then he will move away, following in the direction of the player.

Locations
A Master farmer can be found:
 * In the market at Draynor Village (Near the bank).
 * Near the farming shop in Hemenster.
 * In the sheep pen south of Varrock.
 * By the potato field north of East Ardougne.

Notable Master Farmers

 * Martin the Master Gardener - Found in Draynor. He wears the Farming skillcape, and can be pickpocketed. He seems slightly harder to pickpocket than the other Master Farmers and also requires a right-click to pickpocket, so it is advised to pick the other Master Farmer near him, however martin can be trapped in the pig pen so is optional if you don't want to follow the master farmers around. He is also the starting point of A Fairy Tale Part I quest.
 * Also take note that the rarity of seeds obtained from the farmers coincides with the level of farming needed to plant them. Example despite Avantoe seeds being worth considerably less than Ranarr seeds, Avantoe are less common.
 * The Master Farmer located in North East Ardougne can be looted twice in one attempt, by traping him in the farmer trade shop and cornering him and clicking your cursor consecutively. After about 10-15 minutes of this, he will respawn outside of the shop. Getting him into the trade shop is extremely hard doing it solo, but can be easily done with 2-3 people.
