Rafi Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 I'm planning to bite the bullet and get a few hours of herb training in on dxp. I can afford a few million, but not looking to go broke. Currently level 101 Herblaw with 12.5m bonus xp. Below is a shot of my herb stash from slaying / playing over the last eon. Not particularly impressive, I know. Looking for suggestions on what to buy and what potions to focus on, whether they'll be useful long term or to sell to recoup some money after (and obviously decent xp would be nice). Thank you for your sagely advice in advance! Link to comment
Deleted User Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 Mate, if you have 12,5m bonus exp. on herblaw, you might not want to train that at dxp weekend. You'll waste that bonus exp. Link to comment

Dan G Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 This isn't advice, per se. Just me sharing the same experience of having 12.5m+ of bonus xp and no herblore materials banked to use it on. I'm passing on this bonus xp weekend and going to use the time between now and the next one to stock up on anything I should need for the next, when I'm more prepared. For example, I've been doing this (below) so that I don't need to buy any primal extract. That's ~200k Herblore xp per day minimum for me currently and means one more ingredient I don't need to buy. I'm also farming herbs and, thanks to still needing 120 Slayer, I suspect I'll end up with a fair few from drops too. When I do intend to train Herblore, my plan is Elder Overload Salves (and the child potions you need to make to create them) until I run out of ingredients and then Powerbursts of Vitality. I wouldn't bother doing your cost calculations now as prices are skewed but the latter potions worked out to be <4gp/xp, roughly. Link to comment

Atleast vuln bombs have a use Edit: Keep some weekly reset tokens available - Do Herby Werby during DXP and only catch the herbs so you dont get FM xp. 115+ this is like 600k xp if you reset. Edit2: A lesser known method, while its flawed in the fact YOU have to collect nightshades ( pfast respawns + more spawns with the update ) its 8m+ profit per hour with the stuff listed here. https://runescape.wiki/w/Money_making_guide/Making_weapon_poison%2B%2B Link to comment

Sir Berry Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 So why do you want to train herblore past 99? Going for 120? Plan to pvm? Comp? Just want to train it? If you want to pvm, then make overloads. Otherwise make something that makes you money back. Link to comment

If you want to pvm, then make overloads. Otherwise make something that makes you money back. Good question. 1) Inching away at max stats over the next decade. 2) I enjoy being able to PVM with the clan once in a blue moon when I can actually "Active" play the game instead of multi-tasking. I'm assuming that as time goes on the higher level herb creations will become standard in PvM. @Deathcon Herby Werby reset on dxp is an awesome idea. I'll aim to do that for some quick xp. Suppose I should also use a monthly reset on the oyster for that sweet sweet farming xp! Not sure I want to spend the time pre-eoc manually collecting stuff for that money making herb guide - I'm glued to the digsite. @Dan G Not a bad argument to save money on inflated prices, but I haven't actually been able to get on every dxp and suspect the business shutdown will be extended so I'll still be working from home this time. I haven't done anything besides the home base level 2 unlocks and a little herby werby on Anachronism island, but I'll check out that primal extract guide later. Link to comment

Remember that they are structured differently now. Meaning you get 48 hours of bonus xp to use up over a week(?) however you choose to spread that time. Link to comment

That'll basically be an entire herb level. 6 hours ago, Dan G said: Remember that they are structured differently now.

Yeah, but I won't be able to afk during the day when I go back to the office which is a lot of my playtime atm. Luckily (feels terrible saying that), MA just extended the shutdown to May 18th!
