Just out of curiosity and what not...a little fluff as well
The farseers of the eldar, are they all old?

Compared to humans, all Eldar are old.

Depends on what you read  . Some state Eldar live around 1,000 years.....however Eldrad was over 10,000 years old before he died......
In other pieces of fluff they state when a Seer gets so old, he begins turning to crystal...and is fused inside the Dome of the Crystal Seers. It also states that the Seer pathway is one of the most difficult and many have completed/stopped other paths...so in relation to other Eldar, yeah they would be old.

Nonsense, Farseers like all Eldar can GET old, but not all are old.
Ela'Ashbel from the craftworld Kaelor for instance showed her farseeing talents since childhood. (character invented by Abnett for the Dark Millenium card game and misused by Goto in a short story)

There are of course, sundry child prodigies - but in general, yes, they are old.
Farseers are, essentially Exarchs. They have become lost on the path of the Seer - and that takes time.

Whilst you're correct about them being stuck, there's every chance that a younger Eldar on the path of the seer might get stuck as well. I'd guess owing perhaps to temperament you might tend to get eldar who have already travelled down more life paths finding themselves called to the path of the seer, but once yu're on a path there's no age requirement/similar that helps against the "addiction".

We love our superheroes because they refuse to give up on us. We can analyze them out of existence, kill them, ban them, mock them, and still they return, patiently reminding us of who we are and what we wish we could be.

is there any reason to think that the other craftworlds are better adept when it comes to their farseers, i mean Ulthwe are recognized as being the best being so close to the EOT
Thing is my last few pages of my codex got ruined in some rain and the eavymetal showcases with the little info on the other craftworlds is also finished. So im trying to find some information regarding the other craftworlds if not find some where i can get just the last few pages of the eldar codex. Be a shame to have to get a new one entirely.

Ulthwe are more renowned for it due to their proximity to the EoT - which kind of mandates a more expansive psychic core to the armed forces.
When you are surrounded by daemons and gibbering hordes, having psychic defences is a big priority.
