OSRS Herblore training guide
Makes potions. Expensive to train but the products are always needed.
About Herblore
Herblore turns herbs and secondary ingredients into the potions that make demanding content possible. Prayer potions, super combats and stamina potions all have permanent demand.
It is expensive, but it pairs naturally with Farming: herb runs supply the herbs, Herblore turns them into value.
Fastest training
Rates assume an attentive player with the gear and unlocks that make each method work. Real sessions include banking, breaks and mistakes.
Whatever potion is cheapest per experience point
Herblore is priced by the market, so the correct method changes with prices. Divine and super combat potions are common choices at high levels.
Cleaning herbs
Slow, but cheap and occasionally profitable when grimy and clean herb prices diverge.
Other approaches
- Profitable
- Making potions from herbs you farmed yourself is one of the better GP-per-hour skilling loops in the game.
Useful quests
Quest experience is often worth far more than the time it takes, particularly at low levels where the curve is shallowest.
