This article is about training the Herblore skill. For the skill itself, see Herblore.
Introduction
This page goes through the general method and tips of training the 
Herblore skill.
Equipment
There is no requirement to start Herblore.
Training
Because the main source of herbs is 
Farming, the herbs are usually the main bottleneck on how quickly you can train Herblore.
Therefore it is suggested to maximize the XP-per-herb rather than to simply craft the potion that grants most XP.
When deciding which herbs to plant, aim to plant the highest level herb you can use in a potion that only requires one of that herb.
For instance, it means that although 
Lemontyle Herb can be used starting from Level 40 to make 
Fishermans Potion for 36 XP, the 
Seeing Gold Potion is better until Level 45 because it uses one herb instead of two and thus will give more XP per herb.
Another trick you can use is to plant only as many herbs of each type as you will need.
For example, once you have enough 
Garum Herbs to reach Level 15 you can swap to 
Sourweed Herbs.
Note that these guidelines should be followed only if your goal is to gain Herblore XP as quickly as possible. Otherwise it is better to craft the potions you plan to use in order to build Mastery XP towards unlocking their higher tiers.
However, if you have a big stock of herbs prepared, the table below shows the potions with highest XP yield per craft.
