Defence potions are made by mixing clean marrentill and then bear fur in a vial of water, giving 45 Herblore experience. It requires Herblore level 9. They temporarily raise the Defence level by 1-8 (1 + 8% of the Defence level, rounded down).

They can be bought at the Burthope Warriors' Guild Potion Shop for 880 coins.

Defence potions (1) can sometimes be found inside barrels.

Defence potions (3) are a rare loot from a young impling or a young impling jar.

A defence potion (4) is an ingredient in a grand defence potion, one of the combination potions.

This potion can be made into an defence flask by using at least six doses of it with a potion flask. Players do not need a specific level to turn potions into flasks.

Update history

This information has been compiled as part of the update history project. Some updates may not be included – see here for how to help out!

• patch 20 May 2013 (Update):
  • Attempting to mix a defence potion with a ranarr potion (unfinished) and white berries now correctly informs you that you need a marrentill potion (unfinished) instead.

• update 9 November 2009 (Update):
  • A large number of items with parentheses after their names have had spaces added for consistency and easier searching on the Grand Exchange (e.g. "Agility potion(4)" is now "Agility potion (4)").

• update 26 October 2004 (Update):
  • An "Empty" option was added to the item.

• update 29 March 2004 (Update):
  • The 4-dose potion became permanently available with the launch of RuneScape 2.
  • 1-dose, 2-dose and 3-dose potions can now be decanted into one vial.

• beta 9 March 2004 (Update):
  • The 4-dose potion was added to the RuneScape 2 beta.
  • 1-dose, 2-dose and 3-dose potions can now be decanted into one vial.

• update 27 February 2002 (Update):
  • Added to game.

Trivia

• Defence potions became free-to-play items in March 2013.
• Defence potions were previously made with clean ranarr and white berries, requiring a Herblore level of 30 and giving 75 Herblore experience.
  • Using white berries on a ranarr potion (unfinished) now yields the message "A defence potion is now made using a Marrentill potion (unfinished)."
• Previously, during the Jekyll and Hyde random event, if a clean toadflax herb was given to Dr. Jekyll, he would give out a defence potion.
