Stats and numbers

  • Snape grass gives 82 Farming XP per plant, the highest-XP allotment in the game by a lot.1
  • With Magic secateurs, level 99 Farming and Attas planted, Gnomonkey says snape grass averages almost 50 yield per patch (49.5).1
  • At 49.5 snape grass per patch times 82 XP, Gnomonkey calculates about 4,063 XP per patch, slightly better than a maple tree.2
  • Gnomonkey timed it: manually digging up a snape grass plant takes about 60 seconds, which the Demonic Spade would reduce to eight game ticks.2
  • There are 16 allotment patches, which Gnomonkey describes as roughly eight locations with two patches each (except Harmony Island).3
  • Per visit to an allotment location with two snape grass patches, Gnomonkey calculates about 8k XP, slightly more than a yew sapling's 7k XP, plus about 100 snape grass.4
  • Doing all eight allotment locations with snape grass would give about 65k XP and roughly 800 snape grass (50 per patch across 16 patches), by Gnomonkey's math.5
  • Snape grass takes 70 minutes to grow versus 400 minutes for trees, which Gnomonkey says is where his concern comes from.5
  • Snape grass seeds cost about 11k each, so about 33k per patch; Gnomonkey says the Amulet of Bounty gives a 25% chance to use only one seed when planting, which offsets seed cost.6
  • Snape grass seed price rose from about 8k to almost 11.5k in hype for the spade, and Gnomonkey thinks it was still rising because people expected a revert.7

Gnomonkey's opinion

  • Gnomonkey argues the spade would have injected mass quantities of snape grass into the Grand Exchange and sent seed prices (tree and herb) plummeting.8
