This article is about the Herblore skill. For training the skill, see Herblore/Training.
Herblore

Herblore is used to make potions that grant bonuses to various skills and combat actions. A single potion has many charges and will not be consumed until all the charges are depleted. Potions must first be equipped for use, with each skill having its own potion slot, accessible by selecting the potion icon at the top right of the game screen. The automatic re-use of potions can be enabled through the Settings or potion menu. Raising Herblore to Herblore Level 99 will unlock the Herblore Skillcape for purchase from the Shop. Equipping the Herblore Skillcape doubles potion production.

Making a potion normally takes 2 seconds. Purchasing the Expanded Knowledge god upgrade reduces this time by 15% to 1.7 seconds.

Potion Tiers

New tiers of potions are unlocked at certain Mastery levels. Once a tier has been unlocked, new potions brewed will automatically be made at that tier, however for item completion any tier of potion can be obtained through the use of Herblore Potions. All tiers of a potion cost the same materials and reward the same experience, providing additional charges and/or more potent effects as the tier increases.

Potions in the bank can be upgraded to the next tier once the player has the appropriate mastery level at a 3:1 ratio. (For example, a player with Level 20 can convert three Melee Accuracy Potion Is into one Melee Accuracy Potion II.

I 1 0
II 20 4470

Acquiring Herbs

Each potion requires both an herb and a secondary ingredient. While secondary ingredients can be acquired in a variety of ways, herbs are acquired exclusively through the Farming skill until the player can make the Lucky Herb Potion at Herblore Level 50. As such, players looking to train Herblore will need to start by training Farming.

Combat Potions

Skill Potions

When using potions that have a chance to activate, a charge is consumed whenever a relevant action is performed, whether or not the potion's effect actually activates for that action.

For example, if using a Bird Nest Potion I, a charge will be consumed every time a log is cut regardless of whether a Bird Nest is received.

This table shows all the Summoning Familiars and Synergies that provide a bonus to Herblore.
