Asgarnian Hops (plant)
Asgarnian Hops is a type of crop that can be grown in the game Old School RuneScape (OSRS). These hops are primarily used in the Brewing skill, enabling players to create various types of ale and beer. To cultivate Asgarnian Hops, players must first obtain a seed, which can be acquired by searching specific locations or purchasing from other players.
To plant Asgarnian Hops, players need to have a level of 40 Farming and must utilize a hop patch. Notably, the hop patch located in the area of Asgarnia is the most common location for planting these hops. Players can plant one seed per patch, and the growing process involves several stages.
Once planted, Asgarnian Hops grow in six different stages, ranging from the seedling stage to the fully-grown hops. Players must maintain the health of their crops by checking the status regularly. Watering and removing weeds can enhance the growth rate of the hops. Harvesting can occur once the hops are fully grown, at which point players can collect the hops for brewing or for selling in the market.
Asgarnian Hops are particularly valuable because they are one of the ingredients required to brew specific ales, such as Asgarnian Ale, which players can use for various benefits, including experience in combat. Furthermore, brewers can combine these hops with other ingredients to produce unique drinks that have differing effects.
To obtain maximum yields, players can also use the Compost or Supercompost on the hop patch before planting, which increases the chance of a successful harvest. Upon harvesting, players receive a set amount of hops, which can be used in their brewing adventures. The entire process involves careful planning and execution, showcasing not only farming skills but also strategic resource management in the world of Gielinor.
