Herblore is a skill that allows players to make their own potions from herbs and various secondary ingredients. Potions created with Herblore 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.
Cleaning
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.
Mixing
Potions are drinkables that give you benefits to your skills or help out in combat. They are made by mixing unfinished or mixed potions with other ingredients to create a finished product.

Useful Tips
- Skill of The Hour
- Changing every hour, the Skill of The Hour grants an experience boost of 25% ecumenically in a designated skill.
- Pool of Prosperity
- The Pool of Prosperity is an object in the game located at home. When filled, it grants an experience boost of 10% to all players for its duration.
- The Potion master
- The Potion master will decant potions for 10,000 gp. Decanting results in potions of the same kind being consolidated into 4 or 6-dose potions as much as possible depending on if you use vials or flasks. For example, the Potion master will decant six 3-dose strength potions into four 4-dose potions and one 2-dose potions. Noted potions may also be decanted; any noted / unnoted combinations of potions in your inventory will be treated independently of each other. 4-dose potions also tend to sell better to other players.
- Prestige Perks
- There are some useful Prestige Perks you may want before training Herblore. These include the following:
Perk | Cost | Effect |

Pestled Up | 750 | Pestle and mortar will ground up to 27 items at once |
