Herblore Guide

1.0 - Introduction.
Herblore is known around HydraScape as being a skill that requires a large amount of money. If you plan to buy all your supplies from other players, the Grand Exchange, and shops around Hydrascape, you will look to spend millions in order to achieve level 99; however, if you plan to create and collect all your own supplies around Hydrascape, you may find yourself profiting.

Some people choose to buy unfinished potions, meaning you only need to obtain the secondary ingredient, and get the bulk of the experience—however, the prices and amounts of unfinished potions will vary.

2.0 - Basics of Herblore.
The following information will inform you on how to obtain the primary and secondary items required in order to successfully train Herblore.

Herb Cleaning

Throughout your travels around HydraScape, you may come across grimy herbs when killing monsters. Without the correct Herblore level, you will not be able to clean the herbs to use them. However, should you have the required level, you will be able to clean it. To clean an herb, simply left-click it and it will quickly change to a clean herb, such as a Grimy toadflax to a Clean toadflax, respectively.

Secondary Ingredients

There are many "secondary ingredients" that can be found throughout HydraScape; for a complete list of them, please visit section 4.0.

Farming Herbs

While Herblore is generally an expensive skill to raise, it is possible to raise your levels through Farming. The only cost of which is buying the seeds; alternatively, stealing them from Master farmer is free. When herbs are picked, they are grimy. You can find more information regarding the farming of herbs in the herb section of our Farming guide.

Vials

Vials are pretty easy to obtain. You can buy them from other players, the Grand Exchange, or Shilo Village. Shilo Village is the best location for purchasing some Vials of water, as the bank and store are close. Donators can use the Donator Zone Shop for noted vials of water.

2.1 - The Process
Creating a potion is really quite simple. All that is required is a Vial of water, a primary ingredient, and a secondary ingredient. Once you have all the correct ingredients needed in which to make your desired potion, you simply need to follow a simple method to complete your potion.
