This guide is about how to get to level 99 when doing Herblore in Old School Runescape. Herblore is a straightforward skill to level up, but it is costly to do so.

Quests That Give Herblore Experience

These are quests that could help you get a head start on getting your herblore skill leveled up.

Druidic Ritual

You have to do Druidic Ritual to get to level 3 herblore. You may also do other quests for a little more herblore XP

Jungle Potion, Recruitment Drive, The Digsite

These three quests will get you to level 19 without herblore training. But you don’t really have to do these quests because herblore training is straightforward and fast.

How To Get Herblore EXP

This section is about how herblore XP works and how to obtain it. There are two ways of securing herblore XP when hunting down the herbivore is not included. The first is cleaning herbs.

Cleaning Herbs

Cleaning herbs give you herblore XP per herb cleaned. You may clean 5,000 or more herbs per hour.

You also earn profits here. However, it’s very click-intensive, and it is not really realistic if you do this for a long time to train in herblore.

Making Potions

Making potions is a great way to earn herblore XP. There are two steps in making potions. The first step is to use a clean herb on a vial of water. This way, you make an unfinished potion.

This step does not give any XP, and unfinished potions are tradable, so you may skip this step and purchase unfinished potions instead of purchasing herbs.

You earn XP when you add the third ingredient to make the unfinished potion a three-dose potion. Each potion has a different secondary ingredient.

Amulet of Chemistry

If you make a potion while wearing an amulet of chemistry, you get a 5% chance of making a four-dose potion instead of the standard three-dose potion. You may use the amulet of chemistry for five charges. Then it will crumble to dust. The amulet of chemistry would not speed up your XP, but it can save you some money in the long run, especially if you make potions a lot. This way, you may get more potions out of your herbs.
