Jagex initially brought this out mini-game, however, it was too difficult to complete. Jagex have now made it a lot easier to complete Vinesweeper by having the following updates: All prerequisites to play Vinesweeper have RuneScape gold been removed. Anyone can play. The Farming encounter you get for cashing in Vinesweeper points has dramatically increased. The cost of flags has reduced when buying them together with coins OR points. The cost of seeds from the Winkin store has reduced, which means you can purchase more with your Vinesweeper points.

Ogleroots are now accessible from Blinkin for 10gp each. Players departing Vinesweeper with their flags are able to retrieve them out of Blinkin for free, without being reimbursed for them. The rabbits haven't been getting enough ogleroots in their diet and it's had some odd effects. The rabbits have increased in size, making them easier to target using ogleroots. The Vinesweeper rabbits seemed to be quite quick at eating seeds prior to the farmer could get there or you could stop them with an ogleroot. To solve this, you can now distract the fleas having an ogleroot in a bigger distance, allowing you to easily protect your flags.

Now, after this upgrade the once hard mini-game is now being ranked as too easy. This is a shame as a lot of people can now earn more Farming encounter cheaply and without Rs 3 gold actually Farming! People who wasted all their money on getting 99 Farming today look at this upgrade and think what a waste their money has been.
