Herblore training
 |
Making potions
The most efficient way to gain Herblore experience is to buy base and secondary ingredients from the Grand Exchange and combine them into potions. This can be very expensive and requires a lot of capital to buy the supplies needed. The fastest Herblore experience is gained by simply making potions that offer the highest experience per hour; however, some slower options can be notably cheaper and should be considered if the player prefers to save money. Some options may also require a lot more capital than others, and might be inconvenient to do for players with less capital available.
Viable training options considering cost and ingredient supply are listed below.
The table assumes 2,500 standard 14 x 14 potions made per hour, 2,750 for 27 x 1 (such as stamina potions), 2,166 for super combat potions.
The table below assumes potions are made in one step, using ingredients on an unfinished potion or precursor potion, out of the wilderness(except wilderness only potions).
