Raise Dinosaurs On A Farm In The RuneScape ‘Ranch Out Of Time’ Update

Raising farm animals in RuneScape is a fairly benign activity unless of course those animals turn out to be dinosaurs. The new Ranch Out of Time update lets players try their hand at becoming a dinosaur farmer.

“The Ranch Out of Time is an extension to the Farming skill and builds upon RuneScape’s Player-Owned Farm content. Set on Anachronia, players can now access five new farming paddocks and raise, feed, and breed monstrous Gielinorian dinosaurs; from cute cuddly creatures to huge, furious prehistoric beasts. The Ranch delivers all the features of a Player-Owned Farm, but now you’re farming creatures that will happily disembowel you and eat your flesh.”

The update also raises the Farming and Herblore skillcaps from 99 to 120 and introduces a host of new Farming and Herblore content and skills. This includes new berry bushes, fruit trees, brewable potions, craftable bombs, and farming guilds.

“The Ranch Out of time is the next evolution of Anachronia and builds upon the success of our summer update, The Land out of Time,” says RuneScape Lead Designer David Osborne. “As players work towards 120 Farming, they’ll unlock new content at every single level: new mushrooms, new cactus patches, and the elusive Money Tree await. They’ll be able to use all these new ingredients to make potent potions that provide short-but-powerful benefits on a whole range of attributes, and the new herblore skills will allow players to concoct something even more explosive: bombs! [. . .] Have fun on our rather ferocious farm!”
