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 while on the respective skill page the potion is used in. The automatic re-use of potions can be enabled through the potion menu.

Raising Herblore to Level 99 will unlock the Herblore Skillcape for purchase from the Shop. Equipping the Herblore Skillcape doubles potion production. Making a potion normally takes 2 seconds. Purchasing the Expanded Knowledge upgrade reduces this time by 15% to 1.7 seconds, with Qimican reducing the time by another 5%.

Potion Tiers

New tiers of potions are unlocked at certain Mastery 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 Mastery level at a 3:1 ratio. For example, a player with Level 20 can convert three Melee Accuracy Potion Is into one Melee Accuracy Potion II.

I	1	0
II	20	4,470
III	50	101,333

Herbs

- Main article: Herbs

Each potion requires both an herb and a secondary ingredient. Secondary ingredients are typically associated with the skill the potion is paired with (e.g. Secret Stardust Potion and Stardust). Herbs can be acquired primarily through planting their seeds in Farming, but can also be acquired through Combat and Thieving.

Potions

- Main article: Potions

Potions are consumable items that grant various effects to players based on their type. Potions come with charges, with one charge consumed per action, regardless of whether the effect triggers. Potions are crafted using herbs and one or more secondary ingredients. There are four tiers of potions, each offering enhanced benefits like additional charges or stronger effects. Players can upgrade potions to higher tiers once they've reached the required mastery level. Upon unlocking the next mastery level, higher tier potions are automatically crafted.

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

Skill Boosts

- Main article: Herblore Boosts

Skill boosts are special enhancements that improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the player's skills. These boosts can come from a variety of sources such as equipment, potions, pets, and masteries. Global boosts are boosts which apply across all skills. A boost can be assumed to be for the listed skill only, unless specifically stated it is a global boost. Boosts help the player to progress faster and achieve higher levels of mastery in each skill. The following are some common types of skill boosts and what they do:

• Increased Skill XP: Increases the amount of experience points (XP) gained.
• Decreased Skill Interval: Reduces the time it takes to complete skilling actions, allowing the player to perform more actions in a given period.
• Preservation Chance: Increases the likelihood that resources or items used during skill actions are not consumed.
• Increased Chance to Double Items: Gives a higher chance of receiving double the items or resources when performing skill-related actions.
• Increased Mastery XP: Enhances the rate at which mastery XP is gained for a skill.

For more information on general skill boosts that apply to all skills, refer to the Skill Boosts page.
