Get 99 Herblore on RuneScape

Herblore is used for making potions that can boost your skill levels in both everyday Runescape and Daemonheim as well. In normal Runescape, they can assist you in your adventures of killing monsters and bosses through Runescape, whether through restoring stats in prayer or boosting attack stats. In Daemonheim, they can boost your levels so you can get through skill doors. Anyway you use it, herblore is a useful skill to have maxed out, so here's a guide on how to do it!

Steps

  1. Consider buying an Herbicide. Herbicide costs 34,000 dungeoneering tokens, and it must be repaired, so this is an expensive method. Herbicide crushes unwanted herbs and gives you the experience you would have gained from cleaning them. This can turn those unwanted herbs you get from killing monsters such as grimy guam and tarromin into free exp without having to pick them up.
  2. Consider cleaning herbs to get exp. This is a slow method, but very profitable. Nearly every herb, with the exception of guam, marrentill and wergali. In most cases, you can make over 200 each per herb you clean, meaning you can make massive amounts of money, and get some experience while doing it. Higher level herbs give up to 18 exp per clean, meaning 504 per inventory. It's not much, but unlike every other method shown, it will actually make you money.
  3. Levels 1-3. Complete the Druidic Ritual quest. This quest is required before you start training herblore, as you will not be able to train without completing it. It is about a 5 minute quest, and very easy to get done.
  4. Levels 3-9. The easiest way to get this is to complete the Jungle potion quest. It is very easy and, if you know what you are doing, takes about 10 minutes. It is required for quite a few other quests, giving it all the more reason to get it done now.
    • Alternatively, clean grimy guam until level 9.
  5. Levels 9-13. Complete the quest "Recruitment Drive". Again, another easy quest that with a guide, can be done in 15 minutes. It gives you some experience in other skills as well, but if you are a pure that might not be good.
    • If you are a pure and don't want to combat experience, for don't want to complete the quest, you can start making attack potions with guam and eye of newt.
  6. Levels 13-19. Complete the Digsite quest. This quest is a little tedious, but gives you great experience. It also gives you thieving and agility experience, however it requires 25 thieving and 19 agility.
    • If you do not want to do the quest, you can start the next step at level 13.
  7. Levels 19-38. Make strength potions. Strength potions require tarromin and limpwurt roots. The roots cost 1k each, so if you want to kill hill giants to get them and train your account, you could do that. You could also collect them in the Hill Giant resource dungeon at level 20 dungeoneering.
  8. Levels 38-52. Make prayer potions. You require a grimy ranarr and snape grass to make these. These are used in killing bosses and keeping prayer points up, so your demand should be high.
    • Starting at 45, you can make super attack potions using irit and eye of newt. These cost more to make, but give you 15.5 more experience per potion.
  9. Levels 52-63. Make super energy potions. These require mort myre fungus and avantoe to create. If you completed the nature spirit quest, you can collect the fungus yourself by casting bloom on flogs in the Mort Myre swamp. If you kept your prayer potions from before, you can use them to restore your prayer after doing this.
  10. Levels 63-72. Make Super restores. To do this, you are going to need snapdragon and red spiders' eggs. You can collect the red spiders' eggs yourself in the Edgeville dungeon.
  11. Levels 72-81. Make super ranging potions. These require dwarf weed and wines of zamorak. The wine can be obtained from killing greater or black demons, or you could telegrab it from the temple northwest of Falador, however it is heavily botted most of the time.
  12. Levels 81-83. Make Saradomin brews. You need toadflax and crushed nests for this. There is no real way to get crushed nests in bulk, the best way would to be killing the Giant Mole, exchanging it's skin and claws for bird's nests from Wyden and then crushing the nests.
  13. Levels 84-89/99. Make adrenaline potions. These require super restores and papaya to make. Note this is the cheapest way to get 99 from this point on, as the rest of the of the method require more gold. If you are trying to save money, this is the way to go, but if you are after the fastest way possible, continue reading.
  14. Levels 89-91. Make extreme attacks. You are going to need super strength and a dwarf weed. No magic ways to get these ingredients, just have to buy them.
  15. Levels 91-99 Make extreme magic potions. These require super magic potions and ground mud runes. Mud runes are hard to buy in bulk, and the main things that drop them are Living Rock Creatures.

Tips

  • If you purchase the herbs grimy, you will save money, however you have to take the time to clean them, cutting into your experience.
  • Vials of water can be purchased from most herblore stores and the East Ardougne general store in bulk.
  • Getting your herbs from slayer can help you train your account and get free herbs.
  • Farming your own herbs is a slow, but cheap way to get herbs.
  • Killing monsters like aberrant spectres, chaos druids, flesh crawlers, or other high herb dropping monsters can be a great way to get herbs.
  • Using sinister keys on the chest in Yanille gives you a set amount of high-leveled herbs per chest you open, so it is a consistent way to get herbs.
