Each potion requires both an herb and a secondary ingredient.

== Training Efficiently == | |||
As herbs are primarily obtained through {{Skill|Farming}}, players will often find that herbs are the primary bottleneck on how quickly they can train Herblore. For this reason, it is recommended that players focused on leveling Herblore as quickly as possible attempt to maximize their xp per herb rather than simply crafting the potion that grants them the most XP. | |||
When deciding which herbs to plant you should aim to plant the highest level herb you can use in a potion that only requires one of that herb. This means that although {{ItemIcon|Lemontyle Herb}}s can be used starting at {{SkillReq|Herblore|40}} to make {{ItemIcon|Fishermans Potion I|Fishermans Potion}}s for 36 XP each, continuing to make {{ItemIcon|Seeing Gold Potion I|Seeing Gold Potion}}s until {{SkillReq|Herblore|45}} will give more xp per herb used as Seeing Gold Potions only require one herb instead of two. | |||
Players should also plan ahead and make sure they plant only as many herbs of each type as they'll need. For example, once a player has enough {{ItemIcon|Garum Herb}}s to reach {{SkillReq|Herblore|15}} they should swap to growing {{ItemIcon|Sourweed Herb}}s instead as they will give more xp each when used. | |||
Note that these guidelines should be followed only if the player's primary goal is gaining Herblore XP as quickly as possible. Otherwise players should focus their training on potions they plan to use in order to build Mastery XP towards unlocking higher tiers. | |||
