Herblore
Herblore is a skill that allows players to make their own potions from herbs and various secondary ingredients.
Potions created with the Herblore skill have a variety of effects. Most potions can be drunk to give players temporary skill boosts or other status effects, such as anti-fire or anti-poison. Effects of temporary skill boosts degrade at roughly 1 level per minute until they have entirely worn off. Brimstone keys, chaos druids, bossing, and farming are just a few notable methods to obtain a large amount of herbs.
Cleaning Herbs & Unfinished Potions
Cleaning herbs is a simple task you have to perform before you can add a herb to a vial of water to create an unfinished potion.
Potions
Potions act as a temporary skill boost. Once you add a herb to a vial of water, you get an unfinished potion; then, you must add a secondary ingredient to finish the potion completely. A newly finished vial of potion contains three (3) doses of the potion. Some higher-level potions require a vial of coconut milk or vial of blood to be used instead of water.
Obtaining Secondary Ingredients
Herblore ingredients come from three primary sources: farming, monster drops, and shops.
Training Herblore
Level 1-45
You can train Herblore passively from level 1 by unlocking the Botanist Silver Relic and farming herbs. With this relic, you will auto clean the herbs you farm and gain passive XP during your farm runs.
Alternatively, you can begin training by creating the highest level potion available. This would include:
- Attack Potions - Level 1 - 12. Requires Guam and Eye of Newt.
- Strength Potions - Level 12 - 30. Requires Tarromin and Limpwurt Root.
- Defence Potions - Level 30 - 38. Requires Ranarr and White Berries.
- Prayer Potions - Level 38 to 50. Requires Ranarr and Snape Grass.
Level 45-55
- From level 45 to 55 you will be creating Super Attack Potions. The ingredients required are an Irit Herb and an Eye of Newt.
Level 55-66
- From level 55 to 66 you will be creating Super Strength Potions. The ingredients required are a Kwuarm Herb and Limpwurt Root.
Level 66-81
- From level 66 to 81 you will be creating Super Defence Potions. The ingredients required are a Cadantine Herb and White Berries.
Level 81-83
- From level 81 to 83 you will be creating Saradomin Brews. The ingredients required are a Toadflax Herb and Crushed Bird Nests.
Level 83-91
At level 83, we will begin boosting to make Extreme Attack Potions. Located in the Chef's Guild, purchase Botanist Pies to receive a +5 boost to the herblore skill. Continuously eat the pies while you're creating the highest level extreme potion you can. These potions include:
- Level 88 - Extreme Attack. Requires a Super Attack Potion and an Avantoe Herb.
- Level 89 - Extreme Strength. Requires a Super Strength Potion and a Dwarf Weed Herb.
- Level 90 - Extreme Defence. Requires a Super Defence Potion and a Lantadyme Herb.
- Level 91 - Extreme Magic. Requires a Super Magic Potion and Ground Mud Runes.
- Level 92 - Extreme Ranging. Requires a Super Ranging Potion and 5 Grenwall Spikes.
Level 91-99
- From Level 91 to 99 we will be using the same Botanical Pies found in the Chef's Guild and use those to boost to be able to create Overloads. These are by far the best XP in the game and can be made with the combination of an Extreme Attack Potion, Extreme Strength Potion, Extreme Defence Potion, Extreme Ranging Potion, Extreme Magic Potion, and a Torstol Herb.
