Herb

An herb is an item used to make potions through the Herblore skill. Herbs can be received through monster drops, grown in the Farming skill, or bought from other players. When you receive an herb through a monster drop, it will be unidentified and be named simply "Herb." Before you an use this herb in any potions, you must determine what kind of an herb it is by identifying it. Depending on your Herblore level, you may not be able to identify the herb. If you identify the herb, you are granted experience depending on how advanced of an herb it was. Unidentified herbs, are commonly called unids.

In an update on the 10 September, all unidentified herbs were turned into 'Grimy' herbs (e.g Grimy Guam) and all normal herbs are turned into 'Clean' herbs. The previous action of identifing the herbs is replaced with cleaning herbs, from which you get the exp. The levels for cleaning are the same as they were when identifying.

This has been done to prevent scamming with unidentified herbs. The herb graphics have also been improved.

Herbs are grown especially well in the Farming patch from the My Arm's Big Adventure quest, as that patch cannot become diseased..
