Herblore

Herblore (Herblaw on RuneScape Classic) is a members-only skill. Before players are able to begin using it, the Druidic Ritual quest must first be completed, which gives enough Herblore experience to raise the skill to level 3, which is the first level at which players can make potions.

Potions
There are many herbs players can obtain either from monster drops, or from growing herb seeds, for use in Herblore. Below is a table listing all the potions that can be created.

Obtaining herbs
Some monsters drop more herbs than others. No monsters except the Tree spirit and Prison Pete random events drop Toadflax, Snapdragon or Torstol, these herbs are obtained from either the Brimhaven agility arena (toadflax and snapdragon), or the herb chest in Yanille Dungeon (torstol).


 * Chaos Druids are highly recommended, they are only level 13 drop lots of herbs. You can find them in the Taverley Dungeon, Edgeville Dungeon, in a tower north of Ardougne and in Yanille Dungeon.
 * Aberrant Specters are Slayer monsters and drop large amounts of herbs. They can be found in Morytania Slayer Tower.
 * Chaos Druid Warriors in Yanille Dungeon are also good because they drop a wide variety of second ingredients too, but they're combat level 44 so are only recommended for players with high combat.

Alternatively, use the Farming skill to grow herbs. At high Farming levels, this can be a very good way of obtaining xp in both Herblore and Farming.

Miscellania also can provide up to 80 unidentified herbs a day, all Tarromin or above, with enough cash in the treasury and herbs set to maximum (players must have completed the Throne of Miscellania quest prior to being able to do this).

Getting vials
There's several ways of getting vials. Filling empty vials is very fast; this can be done at any sink, fountain or waterpump. Some methods for obtaining vials listed below:
 * 1) Craft them from molten glass using the Crafting skill
 * 2) Buy them from Ardougne shop
 * 3) Buy empty vials from Taverley herblore shop
 * 4) Buy plant cures and empty them
 * 5) Buy empty vials from players who are training
 * 6) Buy them off the forums
 * 7) Some NPCs, like chaos druids, will drop vials

Temporary boosts

 * A Greenman's ale will boost herblore by 1, players can buy this in Yanille or brew it using the Cooking skill. Players with level 26 Construction may also build a beverage barrel of Greenman's ale in the kitchen of a player-owned house.
 * A Mature Greenman's ale will boost herblore by 2. This can only be made by brewing using the Cooking skill.
 * Spicy stews, which can be made by players who have freed Evil Dave in Recipe for Disaster, can randomly boost or lower the herblore stat by up to 6 levels, depending on the amount of brown spice used.
