This guide will show you ways to train Herblore from 1 to 120. It is worth noting that the cost is determined by the amount of money lost after selling the potions. For players growing their own herbs and gathering their own resources, these losses represent the difference between what you would have made selling your raw materials and what you will make selling the finished potions. Net losses or gains will vary slightly as prices fluctuate between the date of purchase of the raw materials and the date of sale of the finished potions; some potions may sell rather slowly. Always bear in mind that updates, new quests, or other game changes can suddenly and dramatically alter the economics of base resources and finished potions, even so far as rendering resources briefly unavailable or making potions briefly unsellable; be patient and be prepared to change strategies as needed.

Note: The number and cost of the potions you need may vary slightly depending on whether you clean the herb or buy it clean.

Equipment

Image	Item	Explanation
	Botanist's outfit	Each piece of the Botanist's outfit increases Herblore experience by 1%. Wearing a full set will give an extra 1% bonus experience, for 6% bonus experience in total.
	Modified botanist's mask	In addition to granting a 1% Herblore experience bonus, gives a 5% chance to duplicate potions the player is making. This bonus stacks with the boost given by portable wells.
	Portable well	Acts as a free water source as well as an infinite supply of vials of water. All types of potions made using a portable well give 10% more Herblore experience along with a 5% chance of creating an extra potion. Combination potions do not have a chance generating an extra potion although 10% more Herblore experience will be gained.
	Factory outfit	Wearing 3/5 parts of the outfit gives a 10% chance of creating 4-dose potions instead of 3-dose. Stacks with bonuses from Morytania legs 4 and Desert amulet 4. Wearing all 5 parts will give bonus experience making unfinished potions equivalent to cleaning the relevant herb. The full set costs 12,000 Brianpoints, or 1,200 thaler.
	Torstol incense sticks	Each potency level of torstol incense sticks provides a 0.5% increase to base XP gain. The potency level will increase every 10 minutes and will reach its maximum at level 4 (+2% to base XP). Overloading consumes 6 sticks but instantly provides the maximum potency.
	Scroll of cleansing	Gives the player the Wasteless Herblore ability: which grants the following effects: A 1 in 8 (12.5%) chance that the player will make a potion twice as fast as usual. A 1 in 10 (10%) chance that when adding a herb to a vial of water or coconut milk, or secondary ingredient to an unfinished potion, it will not be used up, leaving the player with an extra ingredient. This effect also works with juju potions, combination potions, and extreme potions. Requires a Herblore level of 49 and a Dungeoneering level of 49. Purchased for 20,000 Dungeoneering reward tokens from the Rewards Trader.
	Morytania legs 4	20% chance of creating a 4-dose prayer renewal instead of 3-dose while mixing them in Morytania.
	Desert amulet 4	20% chance to create a 4-dose super antifire instead of 3-dose, while in the desert.
- or -
	Botanist's amulet	5% chance to create 4-dose potions instead of 3-dose. 5 charges.
	Envenomed perk	10% chance to create 4-dose potions when mixing Weapon Poison or Antipoison potion variants instead of 3-dose.
	Wise	The wise perk on a weapon or tool in the main or off-hand slot can give up to 4% more experience.
	Inspire Genius	Players with level 118 Archaeology can activate the Inspire Genius relic power at the mysterious monolith for a 2% experience increase to Herblore.

Vials are an important part of Herblore training. The Meilyr Clan Store in Prifddinas sells 40 vial of water packs for 500 coins each, in addition to various other herblore ingredients. They can also be made using the Crafting skill and then filling it with water from a fountain, however this will take much longer.

Jatix's Herblore Shop in Taverley sells 40 vial of water packs.

The General store in East Ardougne sells 6 Vial of water packs. The general store in Shilo Village sells 20 vials of water packs, totalling 1000 vials of water. Get there quickly by using Karamja gloves 3, provided you have done the hard Karamja achievements. There are also 6 water filled and 6 empty vial packs available from Sigmund the Merchant in Rellekka. Buy another 20 packs of water filled and empties from Jossik in the Lighthouse. Jossik also has 10 greenman ales in stock. Jatix's Herblore Shop sells another 40 Vial of water packs, along with a few other herblore ingredients.

In addition to this, a Modified Botanist's Mask will give 150-200 noted vials of water per day.

Training tips

• Daily challenges are also useful. They give the same Herblore XP as a huge XP lamp and only ask you to make 10 potions of your choice. Highly recommended to extend.
• It's possible to train Herblore with Slayer for many of the creatures you slay may drop many different herbs each time you kill something, but might take a long time to get the herbs you require because of the drops monsters give. Higher level monsters that can drop herbs tend to drop lower level ones more frequently than high level herbs.
• Buy Vials of water packs to save more money. You can buy over 6000 vials of water a week, saving at least 444,000. This is enough vials of water to make potions nonstop for around 2.5 hours
• Training Herblore up to level 99 this way will cost a total of 286,952,679 assuming all ingredients are purchased from the Grand Exchange and the method in this article is used.
• Players can choose to continue with certain potions for longer than stated in this guide if the net value of making them is much higher than alternatives.
• A really effective, free, but very dangerous method of training Herblore is taking part in the Wilderness Warbands. Up to level 66, you are guaranteed to get one or more levels per camp raided (25 supplies). There are many Warband Friend Chats to join in order to complete Wilderness Warbands daily and safely.
• Bank presets can save time when training by making potions. Instead of repeatedly withdrawing e.g. 14 vials and 14 herbs, do that once and store it as a quick preset. Then store 14 unfinished potions & 14 secondaries as the second quick preset.
• Here is an advanced method to make more than 14 three-dose potions per inventory which uses Beasts of Burden (BoB). Let's suppose that a one has a war tortoise. One can withdraw 23 unfinished potions and 5 secondaries in their inventory and 18 secondaries in their BoB. It is suggested to do this with a bank preset which has a BoB linked. When one makes potions, the production interface will show the option to make 23 potions, but one will not actually make potions with ingredients in one's BoB. The game says that the player has run out of ingredients. Instead, one can click the "Take Beast of Burden items" button to get more ingredients without interrupting production. At maximum efficiency, this method saves 39% of banking time, but it requires more constant clicking. The player does not have the usual 16.8 second period of no actions. This method also works with making unfinished potions and combination potions. BoB's are particularly useful when making overloads as these require many ingredients. Without the use of a BoB one can make up to 4 overloads per inventory, while with a Mammoth BoB one can make up to 10 overloads without banking.
• There are more complicated inventory setups that adjust the order of items in the inventories and may allow fewer clicks, but they are sensitive to the scroll of cleansing. We will omit their discussion in this article.
• It is recommended to train Herblore on 'Double XP Weekends' as this not only saves time, but also reduces the cost of this skill greatly.
• If concerned about the cost of making potions, many potions that incur low enough losses can break even or become profitable by using the Scroll of Cleansing, Portable Well, 3 pieces of the Factory outfit, the Modified Botanist's Mask, and Botanist's Amulets.

Acquiring herbs and other ingredients

• If a player's Farming skill is sufficiently high enough, they can easily farm their own herbs and be self-sufficient regarding them in that point. Most herb seeds give good yields, enough to do more than break even.
• The Macaw summoning familiar is very useful for gathering herbs if a player chooses to not go via the farming route for herb-acquisition, as it greatly increases the chance that enemies will drop herbs. It requires level 41 Summoning. A Macaw pouch is made using Green Charms, Clean guam herbs, and 78 Spirit shards per pouch. Guam is already common and cheap, so the Macaw more than makes up for the herb being it's tertiary cost.
• Herblore can be a very expensive skill since the ingredients usually cost more than the finished product. However, if the player does not mind taking their time, they can grab the herbs and ingredients from slaying monsters while in combat. Most monsters tend to drop one herb, but stronger monsters will more likely drop a large number of herbs. Some monsters are also good for gaining their secondary ingredients, though some of them can be gained without having to kill monsters. Try to aim for one or two potions at a time however to maximise the experience gained per hour.
  • Such examples to make Herblore cheaper is by killing bosses. Bosses like K'ril Tsutsaroth drop Grimy lantadymes in stacks of 10 and noted, useful for making Antifire potions or Super magic potions. Then, you can either collect Blue dragon scales from the blue dragon location at Taverley dungeon for the antifire potion, or kill Fungal mages for their relatively common drops of Potato cactus, which are dropped in stacks of 8 and noted. Another example would be making Super strength potions. One can kill General Graardor's bodyguards as they drop Limpwurt roots in stacks of 5 (noted) and killing something which drops kwuarms frequently.
• Unfinished potions can be purchased from the Grand Exchange in bulk, this will save a lot of time, but cost more coins.
• The Chaos Druid Tower is one of the places high levelled thieves use to train their herblore. It is a good idea to clean herbs and occasionally make Prayer potions and Fishing potions, bank and repeat this process until you earn 2,000-3,000 experience. After that, make the majority potions that require second ingredients.
  • However, if the player feels that that location is not as good as others, there are a few more places for quick herbs. One can use the Chaos druid resource dungeon in the Edgeville Wilderness as there are many Chaos druids there along with free spawns of grimy ranarr, irit, harralander, and marrentill, with plenty of Chaos druid spawns. Another location would be Salarin the Twisted's dungeon, as Salarin drops the Sinister key which gives plenty of low-high level herbs and his Chaos druid warriors who can drop herbs frequently too.
• Primal fruits can be gathered through a bush, fruit tree, and cacti harvest run. These plants may take up to 6 hours to fully replenish. Each harvest run may provide up to 60,000 - 100,000 Herblore xp in fruits for converting into primal extracts.

Note: while some of these methods might be the fastest, they may not be the most efficient in terms of money spent, so you may have to do your own research on what potions are the most cost-effective, even if they're time-consuming.

Levels 1-3

Do the Druidic Ritual quest. The experience toward Herblore given as one of the quest rewards will get you to a Herblore level of 3.

Levels 3-9

It is recommended to do the Jungle Potion quest in order to go straight to level 9.

Levels 9-13

You can complete Recruitment Drive to get from level 9 to 13.

Levels 13-19

You can complete The Dig Site to get from level 13 to 19. 25 Thieving and 10 Agility are also required.

Levels 9-12

It is best to do this if you don't have the requirements for The Dig Site.

Make attack potions. Items needed

• Vial of water
• Clean guam
• Eye of newt

Clean the herb if it's grimy, use the herb on the vial of water, and then add the secondary.

These give 25 experience each. It will take 25 Attack potions to get level 12.

Some people choose to use Chaos druids to lessen their costs of herblore. They provide plenty of guam Herbs.

Additionally to save some cash, combine the potions together so you make 4 doses, instead of 3, to save money on buying vials.

Assuming you buy all of the items on the Grand Exchange, clean herbs are used, and all potions are sold at the end, you will spend (-) or earn (+):

-11,425 in total or -18.28 per experience point.

If decanting potions to 4 doses, -9,268.75 in total or -14.83 per experience point.

Levels 12-26

Make Strength potions. Items needed:

• Vial of water
• Clean tarromin
• Limpwurt root

Clean the herb if it's grimy, use the herb on the vial of water, and then add the secondary.

To lessen the cost, kill Hill giants (Level 64) for their fairly common limpwurt drop or grow Limpwurt (farming) in a patch in the Wilderness specifically for Limpwurts. There's also a resource dungeon with Limpwurt spawns (needs at least level 20 Dungeoneering to enter). The safest, cheapest, quickest, way to obtain Limpwurt roots, is to grow them in a flower patch; which yields 3 roots per seed.

An alternative to this is to kill Hobgoblins. They have a more likely chance to drop Limpwurt roots. They can be found west of the Crafting Guild or in Rellekka where the Rock crabs are.

These give 40 experience each. It will take 144 Strength potions to get level 26.

Assuming you buy all of the items on the Grand Exchange and clean herbs are used, and all 3-dose potions are sold at the end, you will spend (-) or earn (+):

-777,024 in total or -134.9 per experience point.

If decanting potions to 4 doses, -758,880 in total or -131.75 per experience point.

Levels 15-38+

Make Serum 207s. Items needed:

• Vial of water
• Clean tarromin
• Ashes

Clean the herb if it's grimy, use the herb on the vial of water, and then add the secondary.

These give 50 experience each. It will take 560 Serum 207s to get level 38.

Note that Serum 207s can only be made during or after the Shades of Mort'ton quest, As of the update on 14 January 2013, serums can be noted but not traded.

Assuming you buy all of the items on the Grand Exchange and clean herbs are used, you will spend (-) or earn (+):

-204,400 in total or -7.3 per experience point.

Levels 21-26

Also requires Herbicide

This method is not advised as getting Herbicide requires 34,000 tokens, which at the optimal ratio would put you at level 62 Dungeoneering. The approximate cost using of using the tokens to gain Herbicide using Chaotic repairs means you would be spending 3,060,000 gp (approx. value of dungeoneering tokens). Granted you do have Herbicide but that is generally a reward purchased much later in your dungeoneering career.

Kills chaos druids with Herbicide (set to erode Harralander, Tarromin, Marrentill, and Guam) in your inventory.

There is no profit made or lost in this method as the herbicide converts herb drops into double experience you would have received if you had cleaned them. It should be noted, that while you aren't spending any money, you are losing in opportunity, as selling the herbs would obviously be more profitable.

Levels 26-36

Make energy potions. Items needed:

• Vial of water
• Clean harralander
• Chocolate dust

Clean the herb if it's grimy, use the herb on the vial of water, and then add the secondary.

These give 67.5 experience each. It will take 322 Energy potions to get level 38.

If decanting potions to 4 doses, -204,956.5 in total or -9.43 per experience point.

Levels 36-52

• Vial of water
• Clean harralander
• Goat horn dust

Clean the herb if it's grimy, use the herb on the vial of water, and then add the secondary.

-4,194,828 in total or -42.43 per experience point.

If decanting potions to 4 doses, -4,037,404.25 in total or -40.84 per experience point.

Depending on the current price of harralander, ranarr, prayer potions and combat potions, this method can sometimes be more cost effective than making prayer potions.

Levels 38-52

Make prayer potions. Items needed:

• Vial of water
• Clean ranarr
• Snape grass

Clean the herb if it's grimy (grimy may be more or less expensive than clean), use the herb on the vial of water, and then add the secondary.

This cost can be significantly reduced by combining the prayer potion (3)s into prayer potion (4); 1,066 3-dose potions will make 799.5 4-dose potions. By referencing the price of each dosage regards to prayer potions, the latter usually offers a higher price per dosage in the Grand Exchange thus saving you money.

Profitable methods

Super defence

After level 66 players may make Super defence potions following the steps below. A small profit may be gained as well. This is currently one of the fastest free methods to get to 99 Herblore. Around 2.5K XP is gained per inventory with a portable well, and 5K with bonus XP + Pulse cores.

1. Buy the scroll of cleansing from the rewards trader at Daemonheim. (gives a chance to save ingredients)
2. Buy white berries and cadantine potion (unf) from the GE in lots of 5K or more, at the GE guide price (it might take a day to buy due to the high demand).
3. Create a bank preset of 14 white berries and 14 cadantine potions (assigned to keys 1 or 2).
4. Set up a portable well, or find a location where someone else has already done so. Sometimes people who use portable wells announce it in dedicated friends chats to allow other players to benefit from them.
5. Head to the Lumbridge bank chest on the specified world. (World 84 is a common world where portable wells can be found, especially during DXP)
6. Click the bank chest, and press 1 or 2 on your keyboard to instantly load your bank preset.
7. Brew 14 super defence potions by clicking the well.
8. Repeat from Step 6.
9. When you have finished your stock of ingredients, have Bob Barter (herbs) or Rhobert Dail (herbs) decant your potions into super defence (4).
10. Sell the potions on the Grand Exchange for +5% minus 100 gp. You may experiment with different prices to discover the highest price you can sell it at. It will sell overnight and not instantly.

Harralander tar

After level 44 players may make 15 harralander tar 241, using clean harralander 971 and 15 swamp tar 111. This grants 72.5 experience, and in many circumstances can be profitable. Currently, this generates a profit of 979 per action. The Grand Exchange trading cap on swamp tar is 5,000.

Other methods

Making Primal Extracts

Main article: Primal extract

Primal extract are potions made by combining primal fruit pulp with empty vials at 90 herblore. These can be farmed by the player without needing new seeds every run. 4 lychee fruits can be picked from each of the 5 bushes, 6 Carambola fruits can be picked from each of the 7 fruit trees, 3 golden dragonfruit fruits can be picked from each of the 3 cacti. This amounts to 140, 252, and 72 primal fruit pulps, respectively. This is a total of 464 primal fruit pulps, amounting to 67,280 Herblore xp when creating primal extracts. The harvested fruits can be increased using wolpertinger pouches for double bush fruits and giant ent pouches and the legendary greenfinger aura for increased fruit yield resulting in 100,000+ Herblore xp when creating primal extracts. Buying the same fruit would cost 361,047 (a run with no boosts) - 578,105.55 (744 pulp, or an average run with both familiars, master farmer outfit and a legendary greenfingers aura) and the fruit can be sold for that amount instead. A full run can be done every 6 hours, but the cactus and fruit trees grow back their produce every 2 hours.

Between 1600 and 2200 primal fruit can be turned into extract per hour depending on level, including the time to make the pulp from fruit, for 237,378.9-312,109.3 herblore experience per hour. The gp cost of pulp depends on the cost of the fruit used, as pulp has a buy limit of 100 and is rarely directly traded. See Primal fruit pulp for the cheapest sources of pulp. Using the above run with no boost, one primal fruit pulp costs 778.12. Since one primal extract can be sold for 856 the following profit or loss can be expected, assuming 12 ticks of banking between inventories:

Range	Profit per pulp	gp per xp	expected extract/hour	xp/hour	gp per hour
90-101	76.88	0.53	2,130	312,109.3	163,757.52
102-111	932.88	6.43	3,640	266,684.9	1,697,844.27
112-120	1,788.88	12.34	4,860	237,378.9	2,897,987.97

If pulp is purchased directly from other players for 717, the following values can be expected:

Range	Profit per pulp	gp per xp	expected extract/hour	xp/hour	gp per hour
90-101	138	0.95	2,450	355,250	338,100
102-111	993	6.85	4,100	297,250	2,035,650
112-120	1,848	12.74	5,400	261,000	3,326,400

This method is also useful for ironmen, as the seeds only need to be obtained once per patch and vials can be obtained easily by decanting 4-dose potions into 1-dose potions, decanting them back into 4-dose potions and then banking the empty vials.

Deployable herb burner

Main article: Deployable herb burner

Deployable herb burner is a very rare drop from ghost variants. However once it is obtained, it can be used indefinitely to train herblore without making any potions and therefore has no concern of reselling them. Using a clean herb on the Deployable herb burner results in the herb being destroyed, providing 10 times the Herblore experience given for cleaning herbs, as well as Firemaking experience. Currently the most cost-effective herbs to be used on burner are tarromin and harralander.

Overloads From Super Potions

Players who wish to do any late-game Slayer or Bossing should consider using Overload potions; these are incredibly powerful stat-boosting potions, but are untradeable, and as such it is most efficient to make the overloads en route to 99 Herblore. Overloads are made by combining the five extreme potions together, starting at level 88 with the Extreme attack.

To level from 88 to 99 requires 8,648,655 xp, which equates to 3,573 overloads, made from the super variants. This requires  : 3,573  x Clean torstol,  Super attack (3), Super strength (3), Super defence (3), Super magic potion (3), Super ranging potion (3), Clean avantoe ,Clean dwarf weed, Clean lantadyme,  Mud rune, and 17,865  Grenwall spikes. This will cost a total of -346,159,386. To bring this cost down it is recommended to use a Portable well, a Scroll of cleansing and a Botanist's amulet. To make the expensive overload potions go further, it is recommend to create combination potion from them, with Holy overloads being the most economic, this brings the required number of overloads to reach 99 down.

It is worth noting that the number of extremes made from level 88 will not be sufficient to reach level 96, where you unlock the ability to make overloads, and as such the use of temporary boosts such as that from a God banner or from advanced pulse core will be required.

Combination potions

After completion of Plague's End, the option to create combination potions to train herblore is unlocked. Combination potions require a crystal flask as well as two or more four-dose potions to be made. Combination potions are usually slower experience than other high-level potions since only nine or fewer potions can be made per inventory. Since they use potions as their ingredients, and since players usually prefer to make other potions for faster experience, combinations potions often cost nothing to train with or can even make a small profit. However, it should certainly be noted that these potions have more ingredients used in their production stage than the two characteristics of almost every other potion, making each inventory produce fewer potions and finish production faster. This means that they are much more click-intensive than traditional training and require constant focus for the best experience rates.

Combinations potions such as grand ranging potions, grand magic potions, grand strength potions, grand defence potions, and super prayer renewal potions can be made with recipes that do not have to be unlocked in Daemonheim, and with constant focus can produce over 350,000 experience per hour. Super melee potions and Super warmaster's potions require recipes that need to be unlocked by finding unreadable pages, which require long amounts of time and high dungeoneering levels to be unlocked. However, both of these potions can make over 450,000 experience per hour and 720,000 experience per hour, respectively. Most of these potions are on high demand, due to their stronger boosts and oftentimes cheaper usage than super potions.

While untradeable combination potions can often make more experience, the fact that money cannot be got back makes them unfeasibly expensive potions to make for training (more expensive and slower than extreme ranging and magic potions).

All combination potions have very unstable prices, so checking prices carefully and selling quickly is recommended when making them for profit. All of them, especially faster experience-making potions such as super warmaster's potions, are sometimes profitable, sometimes mildly expensive and sometimes almost completely unaffordable to train with and hard to sell, so players are warned to be cautious of these fluctuations if they decide to make large investments.

It should also be noted that combination potions are not affected by the portable well's ability to make an extra potion 10% of the time, although they do receive the 10% experience bonus. For potions that require the most ingredients, notably super warmaster's potions, an inventory can be finished in under 5 seconds of production. This means that the split second it takes to walk a step to the well can actually slow down experience rates by more than the 10% it boosts them (although when the method costs money it still reduces cost/xp). Compared to traditional training, the benefit of the portable well is vastly reduced for combination potions. However, the scroll of cleansing considers all of the potions used to make these to be secondary ingredients, which means that each potion has a 10% chance to not be used up when making combination potions. Therefore, this item is most powerful when making combination potions compared to traditional ones (in terms of cost per item, reducing it by 10% of all ingredients rather than 10% of just the secondary one). This 10% can mean the difference between free, profitable and very expensive experience when making combination potions, and players should note that it is almost a requirement to reasonably train using this method.

Shades of Mort'ton

After Shades of Mort'ton (minimum Herblore level: 15), make Serum 207. Items needed:

• Vial of water
• Clean tarromin
• Ashes

Clean the herb if it's grimy, use the herb on the vial of water, and then add the secondary.

These give 50 experience each and are therefore a slow training method compared to the higher-level alternatives. If you make the Tarromin unfinished potions and add the ashes you can reach around 50,000 experience an hour. You can make a maximum of around 150k experience an hour if you buy Tarromin unfinished potions and add the ashes. They cannot be sold, but the cheap secondary ingredient makes them cost-effective compared to other potions, depending on the current price for Tarromin and the economic situation surrounding the other potions. There are usually plenty of ashes to be had free on the grounds around the Grand Exchange since it is a popular spot to practice Firemaking. However, with the release of Bonfires, there are fewer ashes on the ground.

Assuming you buy all of the items on the Grand Exchange and clean herbs are used, you will spend -7.3 coins per experience point.

As of an update on 14 January 2013, Serum 207 can now be withdrawn from the bank as a note, and can be disposed of very quickly. The serum cannot be sold, but it can be alchemised. While not worth the runes to do this, players who have the Explorer's ring can use its low-alchemy ability or high-alchemy (if ring is 4) on the serum and earn enough coins to purchase new vials to replace the ones lost when the serum is alchemised.

Alternatively, the serum can be used on the afflicted townspeople of Mort'ton to temporarily cure them. As thanks, they will give a reward of either coins, vials (with or without water), logs, or grimy tarromin. Most of these can then be used to make even more serum. This can continue indefinitely, as only one dose is used on a villager at a time. It should be noted that using Serum 208 often yields better/more rewards.

Dungeoneering

Another free method of training herblore is to enter a solo Dungeoneering floor, go through a few rooms, gather some money and find some farming patches. One should switch between growing herbs, making potions, and possibly selling to the Smuggler to buy more. Although this is slow experience per hour, it is free of cost, with experience rates varying from 25k-40k per hour, depending on the players Herblore and Farming level. One can train several other skills (such as Woodcutting) at the same time to somewhat increase the overall efficiency and reduce repetitiveness at the cost of getting lower experience rates in individual skills.

Herbicide

Herblore can be trained by using herbicide, acquired for 34,000 Dungeoneering tokens from Dungeoneering. Herbicide destroys the herb drop but gives double the experience you would get for cleaning it. Some good monsters to kill are chaos druids, and turoths, with 55 Slayer. This is quite a slow way to train the skill, but is free, if you would not usually pick up the herbs. However, some herbs are expensive (such as grimy dwarf weed) and players who pick up the herb, clean it and use it in a potion will gain much more experience than having the herbicide cleaning it up. However, the herbicide does clean up low-level herbs players would generally avoid. This has the benefit of also granting combat experience, and could be used on slayer assignments to passively train herblore.

Herb cleaning

Cleaning grimy herbs can reward fairly good experience and often results in a profit. To find out if money will be lost or gained, look at the cost of the grimy herb and compare it to the cost of the clean herb.

This method is tedious. However, making potions generally returns small profit or large losses, so many players find herb cleaning worthwhile.

The following rates assume you are cleaning 5,000 herbs per hour. This is much easier if you use bank presets and the action bar.

Free methods

Completing quests

Main article: Quests/Experience rewards § Herblore

Some quests grant Herblore experience. Refer to the main article for more details.

Herby Werby

The Ancient Zygomites' cavern

Herby Werby is a safe, weekly Distraction and Diversion that takes place on Anachronia. The main objective is to aid some of Anachronia's Ancient Zygomites in destroying the corrupted flora in their cavern. The creatures however are frenzied and are burning both the corrupted and healthy plants alike, so the player must help burn corrupt herbs, and/or stop the burning of healthy herbs.

Burning corrupted herbs gives Firemaking experience while stopping zygomites holding healthy (green) herbs gives Herblore experience. As a result, players wishing to maximize their Herblore gains should focus solely on stopping zygomites with ancient herbs.

Every successful action rewards between 1 and 4 points and a maximum of 100 points can be earn weekly.

At certain herblore milestones the experience will be increased as follows:

• 85 Herblore: Herby Werby 150% Experience.
• 95 Herblore: Herby Werby 200% Experience.
• 105 Herblore: Herby Werby 250% Experience.
• 115 Herblore: Herby Werby 300% Experience.

It's also important to note that bonus experience, double XP and experience boosts (skilling outfit, pulse core, etc.) are working during this activity.

Supply runs

The start of a supply run

Supply runs are a safe activity that take place on Mazcab every 12 hours (at midnight and noon game time). The activity begins with goebie supplies spawning at the supply rock near to Querci in Kanatah and is available until 25 minutes past the hour. Players may take up to 10 goebie supplies per day from the supply rock. Upon taking goebie supplies players become flagged for safe PvP and can be attacked by other players, with death resulting in the loss of all goebie supplies that the players are carrying. After obtaining goebie supplies players must travel north-west through the Nemi Forest to Otot, where the supplies may be exchanged for experience with Quercy. The player will be given a choice between two skills in which to gain experience: Agility or Crafting, Farming or Herblore and Hunter or Woodcutting. Different skills are offered on different worlds. As of the updates on 19 October 2015, carried goebie supplies disappear when logging out, entering the lobby, or hopping worlds, preventing players from switching worlds to find their preference in offered skills.

Between 495, with level 1, and 48,515, with level 99, experience can be gained from exchanging 10 goebie supplies. Assuming the activity is completed in 5 minutes, experience is awarded at a rate equivalent to between 5,940, with level 1, and 582,180, with level 99, experience an hour.

Wilderness Warbands

Wilderness Warbands is a dangerous Distraction and Diversion that takes place in the Wilderness. The aim of the Distraction and Diversion is to infiltrate a camp occupied by god-following NPCs and loot supplies, which can then be exchanged with Quercus for experience. Players can gain Herblore experience if they obtain and hand in Herblore supplies. Players can gain between 49.5 at level 1, and 4,851.5 at level 99, Herblore experience per supply that they exchange. Players can loot up to 25 Herblore supplies while playing Wilderness Warbands, which grant between 1,237.5 and 121,287.5 Herblore experience in total when given to Quercus. Players can calculate the exact amount of experience that they will receive, based on their Herblore level and the number of supplies obtained, using the calculator on the Wilderness Warbands article.

Wilderness Warbands takes place every 7 hours. The Distraction and Diversion begins with a camp appearing in the Wilderness in one of 3 possible locations. A server-wide announcement will notify players of the camp's location when it spawns. Players can also find out the camp's location by talking to Quercus, who is located north-west of the Varrock Grand Exchange. Players must travel to the camp, avoid the sentries posted around its perimeter and sabotage the camp's god's beam, which is found in the centre of the camp. Successfully sabotaging the beam will result in NPCs allied to the invading players teleporting to the area to fight the NPCs guarding the camp. Players can also intervene in the fight if they wish. After all enemy NPCs have been killed, players can loot the tents in the camp to gain supplies. Each Wilderness Warband has 3 tents which contain supplies that grant experience in 3 of 5 possible skills (Farming, Mining, Construction, Herblore and Smithing). Players may loot up to 25 supplies from tents in the camp. Players may gain additional supplies by killing other players and taking any supplies that defeated players may have looted, as supplies are dropped upon death. Participating in looting tents will skull the player and cause them to become attackable by any other player, regardless of combat levels. Players cannot teleport out of the Wilderness while they have supplies in their inventory, and logging out while inside the Wilderness causes all supplies to be destroyed. Therefore, players must escape from the Wilderness by running out of the area. To avoid being killed by other while participating in Wilderness Warbands players are advised to join one of the dedicated friends chats for the Distraction and Diversion.
