Herblore

Herblore is used to make potions that grant bonuses to various skills and combat actions. A single potion has multiple charges and will not be consumed until all the charges are depleted. Potions must first be equipped for use, with each skill having its own potion slot, accessible by selecting the potion icon at the top right of the game screen. The automatic re-use of potions can be enabled through the potion menu.

Potion Tiers

New tiers of potions are unlocked at certain

levels. Once a tier has been unlocked, new potions brewed will automatically be made at that tier. If you somehow miss a tier, any tier of potion can be obtained through the use of Herblore Potions. All tiers of a potion cost the same materials and reward the same experience, providing additional charges and/or more potent effects as the tier increases. Potions in the bank can be upgraded to the next tier once the player has the appropriate

Potions are consumable items that provide different effects for the player, depending on which potion is used. Potions come with changes, and one potion charge is per action. Even if the potion effect does not apply. Potions can be created with herblore skill using a herbs and one or more secondary ingredients. For every potion, there exists 4 different tiers. Higher tiers offer benefits such as more potion charges or a potion effect. A player can upgrade a potion to the next tier, provided they have unlocked the mastery level to do so. Higher tier potions are automatically created when the mastery level is unlocked.

There are two categories of potions in Melvor Idle, combat potions and skill potions. Combat potions boost the effectiveness of combat and can only be used during combat.

Using Potions

Potions can be activated per skill. When in the desired Skill tab you can select the Potion icon located at the top right, right of the "Force Save" button. This will pop up a new window where you can select which Potion to use. There is also a option you can enable the "Auto re-use potion for this Skill" which will automatically use a new potion once it runs out.

Up and Downgrading Potions

You can Upgrade potions to the next tier (up to IV), this requires 3 of the lower tier potions for 1 of the higher tier. This is done by pressing the yellow/orange Upgrade Item button. This does require the required

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Mastery

Level in the potion to be able to upgrade.

Downgrading isn't possible in the base game. For cases where you want lower tier potions (such as the Bird Nest Potion I task you can use Herblore Potion to get a chance of extra potions of a random tier of the same kind of potion you're crafting.
Tier 1 potions can also be found in Potion Box I, Potion Box II and Potion Box III.
Alternatively there is a Mod called "Potion Downgrade" which adds this functionality, some might consider this cheating, so use at own risk.

Melvor Potions

Combat Potions

Skill Potions

When using potions that have a chance to activate, a charge is consumed whenever a relevant action is performed, whether or not the potion's effect actually activates for that action.

For example, if using a Bird Nest Potion I, a charge will be consumed every time a log is cut regardless of whether a Bird Nest is received.
