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.
Although it is easy to get Herblore to level 99, it is one of the most expensive skills in the game for players who buy all or most of the needed ingredients.
Herbs
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.

NPC Assistance
David the decanter 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, David 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 independantly of each other. This is a quick way to free up vials for reuse. 4-soe potions also tend to sell better to other players.
