What is the Secateurs Attachment?

The Secateurs Attachment is a unique item in Old School RuneScape (OSRS) that enhances the functionality of the standard secateurs. This upgrade is primarily used in the Farming skill, allowing players to gather produce more efficiently. It provides a significant advantage for players engaged in farming activities, making it an essential item for serious farmers.

How to Obtain the Secateurs Attachment

The Secateurs Attachment can be obtained by completing specific tasks related to the Farming skill. Players must first acquire the regular secateurs, which can be found in various locations such as:

General stores in major cities.
Obtaining from the Farming Guild.
Looting from certain monsters.

Once you have the basic secateurs, you’ll need to complete the quest “A Fairy Tale II – Cure a Queen” to unlock the ability to craft the Secateurs Attachment. After completing the quest, speak to Charlie the Tramp to receive the attachment.

Benefits of Using the Secateurs Attachment

The most notable benefit of the Secateurs Attachment is its ability to double the yield from farming crops when harvesting. This is particularly advantageous for high-level crops such as:

Crop	Base Yield	Yield with Attachment

This yield increase not only provides a greater return on investment for farming but also significantly contributes to the overall efficiency of skill training.

While the attachment offers significant benefits for harvesting, players will still need these other tools for planting and nurturing their crops effectively.
