Training

Because the main source of herbs is

, the herbs are usually the main bottleneck on how quickly you can train

.

Therefore it is suggested to maximize the XP-per-herb rather than to simply craft the potion that grants most XP.

When deciding which herbs to plant, aim to plant the highest level herb you can use in a potion that only requires one of that herb.

For instance, it means that although   Lemontyle Herb can be used starting from

Level 40

to make   Fishermans Potion for 36 XP, the   Seeing Gold Potion is better until

Level 45

because it uses one herb instead of two and thus will give more XP per herb.

Another trick you can use is to plant only as many herbs of each type as you will need.

For example, once you have enough   Garum Herbs to reach

Level 15

you can swap to   Sourweed Herbs.

Note that these guidelines should be followed only if your goal is to gain Herblore XP as quickly as possible. Otherwise it is better to craft the potions you plan to use in order to build Mastery XP towards unlocking their higher tiers.

However, if you have a big stock of herbs prepared, the table below shows the potions with highest XP yield per craft.
