Herblore in Old School RuneScape

Words on this page

Secondary: the extra item a potion needs, like an eye or a dust. Grimy: an uncleaned herb. Clean it, then mix it.

Unlock

Druidic Ritual starts the skill. A secondary is the second item in a potion, like an eye or a dust. You need it before the herb matters.

The route

  • Early

    Method
    Mix attack, strength, and energy potions you will drink.
    Place
    Stand at a bank.
    Click
    Click the herb on the vial, then the secondary.
    Leave
    Leave the plan that is only cleaning grimy herbs.
  • Mid

    Method
    Mix prayer potions, super restores, and the super combat potions.
    Place
    Stand at the bank.
    Click
    Click one inventory, bank it, repeat.
    Leave
    Leave a potion you will not drink and cannot sell.
  • Late

    Method
    Mix saradomin brews, super combats, or the potion the wiki ranks.
    Place
    Stand at the bank.
    Click
    Click the mix until the stack is gone.
    Leave
    Leave if you are only cleaning grimy herbs.

Inventory

Wear an amulet of chemistry if you own one. It sometimes saves a dose. Clothes do not matter. The secondary stack does. Bring only what this method uses. Leave the spare gear in the bank.

Money fork

You spend herbs and secondaries. Potions you drink or sell can pay it back. Check the wiki for this month's price. A herb stack with no secondary is not a plan.

Iron fork

If you cannot buy the supplies, gather them yourself. Stay on the earlier step until you have them.

Kit

Wear an amulet of chemistry if you own one. It sometimes saves a dose. Clothes do not matter. The secondary stack does.

Mistakes

Do not buy a 99 of herbs with no secondaries. Do not clean ten thousand grimy herbs and call it Herblore.

Stop

Stop when you have the level you came for. A quest, a prayer, or a weapon. Level 99 is a cape. You do not need it to use the skill.

Official notes

XP rates move. Use the live wiki for the number. This page is the route.
