Herblore is a members-only 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 antifire or antipoison. Effects of temporary skill boosts degrade at roughly 1 level per minute until the potion completely wears off.

Requirements

Training Herblore or obtaining a temporary boost requires completion of the Druidic Ritual quest. Upon completing this quest, players are rewarded with 250 Herblore experience, granting them level 3 in Herblore. From level 3 onwards, players will be able to train Herblore by creating potions.

Training activities

There are roughly four methods to train Herblore: by cleaning herbs, making potions, adding herbs to swamp tar and making barbarian potions.

Cleaning herbs & unfinished potions

Cleaning herbs is a simple task players have to perform before adding a herb to a vial of water to create an unfinished potion.

Potions

Most potions act as a temporary skill boost, but some have other effects, like curing poison or providing dragonfire protection. A player must add a secondary ingredient to the unfinished potion, finishing 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 blood to be used instead of water.

Wearing an amulet of chemistry gives a 5% chance of creating a four (4) dose potion instead. A charged alchemist's amulet increases this chance to 15%. Prescription goggles give players a 10% chance to not consume a secondary ingredients when mixing potions. These items can be useful for conserving resources on Ironman accounts or for potions with rare or expensive ingredients.

Barbarian Mixes

Main article: Barbarian Herblore

Barbarian potions can be made by adding roe or caviar to two-dose potions. The barbarian potions will hold two doses that give the same effect as their regular counterparts, as well as restore 3 to 6 Hitpoints per dose.

Note that the default left-click option for roe and caviar is "eat", not "use", making it possible to consume the ingredients on accident instead of using them.

Mixing

• Zahur in Nardah will combine noted vials of water and herbs to create unfinished potions for 200 each. (Requires completion of the hard desert diary or a herblore cape)

Cleaning Grimy Herbs

• Zahur in Nardah will clean grimy (un-noted) herbs for 200 each.
  • After completing the Hard Desert Diary, she will clean noted herbs as well.

Decanting

The following NPCs can help players combine or separate your potions into 1-dose, 2-dose, 3-dose or 4-dose items instead.

• Zahur in Nardah will decant potions for free.
• Bob Barter at the GE will decant potions for free.

Trivia

• In RuneScape Classic, the skill was spelled "Herblaw". This was the case in 2001 when it was first listed in the skills list (even though it was unimplemented prior to the release of Pay-to-play in 2002), until Classic closed in 2018.
• Paul Gower stated that the skill was renamed in RuneScape 2 because Herblaw is "spelled wrong". There are prior usages of the word "Herblore" going back to at least the 1800s but no such prior usage for the word "Herblaw". Players of Classic generally did not consider the skill to be spelled wrong, since it is a very obscure word not found in most dictionaries, and it was used in the fantasy setting of RuneScape.
