Herblore is a valuable skill in Old School RuneScape (OSRS) that allows players to create powerful potions. These potions can enhance various abilities, providing crucial support in crafting, combat, and other activities. Every adventurer should keep a stock of potions in their bank, as they are indispensable in many scenarios.

Key Aspects of the Herblore Skill

Herbs and Cleaning

Herbs are the foundation of the Herblore skill. They can be obtained through farming or as drops from monsters, especially those encountered while on Slayer tasks. Initially, these herbs are grimy and need to be cleaned using the herblore guide osrs skill. Cleaning herbs provides experience and prepares them for potion-making.

Potion Making Essentials

To brew potions, you need three items:

1. Vial of Water: Easily purchased from Kaqemeex at the ::Shops for 7 coins each.

2. Primary Ingredient: Usually a cleaned herb.

3. Secondary Ingredient: Can also be bought from Kaqemeex or obtained through farming.

Combine the cleaned herb with the vial of water, then add the secondary ingredient to create an unfinished potion.

Herblore Training in OSRS

For players who prefer a self-sufficient approach or are on the Iron Man mode, an Iron Man Resource Guide by Iron Foxit offers detailed strategies for gathering materials. When creating potions, each vial produces a potion with three doses. You can mix doses by using one potion on another or decant potions through NPC services without requiring a Herblore level.

Herbs and Their Use

Herbs are scattered throughout the game world and can be found in grimy form. Cleaning them is straightforward but requires a specific Herblore level for each herb. This process not only prepares the herb for potion-making but also grants Herblore experience.

Potions and Their Benefits

Creating potions is the primary function of Herblore. These potions are essential for boosting stats and enhancing combat abilities. In OSRS, potions require a vial of water, a cleaned herb, and a secondary ingredient.
