Herblore Guide OSRS

Herblore is a members-only skill which is basically about cleaning herbs and making potions out of them. Brings out a clear picture of an old woman with a scarf on her head, picking up herbs on murky pathways in the mountains, doesn’t it?

Well, let me tell you something. Training Herblore is much more fun than that. It’s a pretty afkable skill and there is a limited amount of things you can do to train, so it’s relatively easy and chill. This 1-99 Herblore guide OSRS is going to be pretty short because training Herblore is fairly simple.

The first thing you need to do in order to be able to train Herblore at all, is to complete the Druidic Ritual quest. It’s fairly short and simple – basically you have to help the Druids north of Taverley to make a potion so they can reclaim the stone circle south of Varrock. Upon completion, you get rewarded with 250 Herblore XP and your Herblore level moves to 3. 

You don’t need any specific gear or equipment to train Herblore OSRS. See, it’s far more simple than most of the skills on OSRS, isn’t it? 

Now let’s start with a number of quests than will give you Herblore OSRS fast xp.

Quest XP Rewards

We already talked about Druidic Ritual, which you need to complete in order to unlock the Herblore skill in the first place. Let’s see what else you can do to get some fast Herblore OSRS xp! (the quests are listed in order of amount of xp they grant you)

• Jungle Potion is a short quest that takes place in Karamja – you have to gather a bunch of herbs for Trufitus Shakaya so he can perform a ritual to talk to the island’s gods. Grants 775 xp.

• Recruitment Drive grants you 1 000 xp but you need to change your character into female if it’s male and this costs 3000 coins.

• Heroes’ Quest is a bit more difficult and longer and you can complete it when you’re over level 25. There are also requirements about different skill levels – you need 53 Cooking, 53 Fishing and 50 Mining. It grants you 1 325 Herblore xp.

• Zogre Flesh Eaters requires level 8 for completion and grants you 2 000 xp.

• The Dig Site can be completed at level 10 Herblore and grants you 2 000 xp.

• Shades of Mort’ton can be tackled down at level 15 and gives 2 000 xp as well.

• Fairytale 2 – Cure a Queen is kind of short and can be completed at level 57 Herblore. It grants 3 500 xp.

• Grim Tales can be completed at level 52 and gives you the solid 5 000 xp.

• My Arm’s Big Adventure grants you 10 000 xp and at the early level of 31!

• Eadgar’s Ruserequires level 31 Herblore as well and grants you the highest amount of xp – 11 000!

In total, this makes 38 850 Herblore xp from quests. The first five quests with the exclusion of Heroes’ Quest have little to none requirements so it’s highly recommended to complete them. They grant you a total amount of 8 025 Herblore xp.

Herblore Guide OSRS

There are basically two methods of gaining Herblore xp: through making potionsand by cleaning herbs. 

In order to make a potion, you need to gather the required ingredients – that’s usually herbs of some kind plus a secondary ingredient, and use them on vial of water or blood. Since adding a second ingredient to the potion is a 2-tick action, the max amount of pots you can make in an hour is 3000. When you take banking into account, this rate drops down to around 2500 but that’s only if you’re really fast at it. 

Making potionsis a faster and more afkable method of training Herblore than cleaning grimy herbs, also far less tedious. The most efficient way to train Herblore by making potions is by buying your base and secondary ingredients from the Grand Exchange in order to mix them. However, that’s quite expensive and requires a lot of resources. Of course, you can always buy cheap OSRS gold here so you can spend less on training Herblore. 

The fastest way to get to level 99 of Herblore is by making potions that offer the highest xp/h. They are, of course, more expensive. So if you can’t spend much money on training Herblore, it’s best to go for the slower options which are cheaper.

Another way to save money on the way to Herblore 99 is by using an amulet of chemistry. It can be used when you’re training Herblore with potions that are worth more than the cost of one amulet per five doses. You need to put in the effort of equipping a new amulet when the last one is used up and breaks. This will slightly decrease the xp rates but it might save you a lot of money.

Here’s a list of viable pots you can make at any level with information on the ingredients you need and the xp they grant you.
