Training methods

Method Lvl XP/hr GP/XP To goal Hours
Attack potions
Cheap filler for the very start; Druidic Ritual and a couple of quest rewards can skip most of this range for free. · 25 xp/potion 		3 55,000 -1.5 — —
Prayer potions cheapest
Classic low-cost staple: ranarr unf plus snape grass, and steady demand for the pots keeps the loss tiny. · 87.5 xp/potion 		38 200,000 -3 — —
Mastering Mixology profit
2026 profit meta in Varlamore (needs Children of the Sun); xp per paste order varies, reward shop makes it self-funding. 		60 85,000 +25 — —
Super restores
The balanced mid-game pick: snapdragon unf plus red spiders' eggs, decent speed and the pots always sell. · 142.5 xp/potion 		63 320,000 -5 — —
Ranging potions
A step up in speed over restores for a bit more gp; dwarf weed unf plus wine of zamorak. · 162.5 xp/potion 		72 370,000 -7 — —
Stamina potions afk
Most laid-back mixing: amylase stacks, so one inventory runs ~27 potions before banking. 102 xp is per 4-dose. · 102 xp/potion 		77 260,000 -9.5 — —
Saradomin brews fastest
Fastest bank-standing xp in the skill; toadflax unf plus crushed nests, expect a nine-figure gp burn to 99. · 180 xp/brew 		81 400,000 -11 — —
Super combat potions
Endgame budget king: combine the three super pots with a torstol for big xp at almost no net cost. · 150 xp/potion 		90 300,000 -1.7 — —
Anti-venom+ profit
Fast xp that roughly pays for itself; torstol on antivenom, with margins swinging on zulrah scale prices. · 125 xp/potion 		94 290,000 +0.7 — —
About training Herblore

Herblore is the classic buyable members skill: you clean herbs, make unfinished potions, then mix in a secondary ingredient next to a bank, so your xp rate is mostly limited by your wallet rather than your level. Early levels come nearly free from quests like Druidic Ritual and Recruitment Drive, after which the standard ladder runs prayer potions into super restores or ranging potions, finishing with Saradomin brews for speed or super combats on a budget. Since the Mastering Mixology minigame arrived, players who would rather earn gp than burn it have a genuinely profitable route from level 60 onward.

Did you know: Going for 99 Herblore purely on prayer potions means mixing about 148,965 of them - and at a realistic 2,300 potions an hour, that is still roughly 65 straight hours of dropping snape grass into vials.
