Herblore Guide
Welcome to the Herblore guide! This guide will walk you through the process of leveling up your Herblore skill, from basic potion-making to advanced divine potions and achievements.
Obtaining Secondaries
Non-Ironman Players
The easiest way to obtain secondary ingredients as a non-ironman player is via the shop at ::skill. The shop can easily be accessed through talking to Zahur, who can be found in the northwest corner of the building.
TIP: Another thing to note about Zahur is that you can use noted clean herbs on him, with GP and noted vials of water in your inventory, and he will turn the herbs into unfinished potions for a cost. This is a lot faster and more cost effective than manually cleaning them yourself.

How to Obtain Overloads
Overloads are obtainable through chest rewards and can be bought from the NPC named "Supplies" at ::dz, ::lz or ::oz for 1m gp each.
TIP: Ironmen can also make the potion by having all 3 divine potions, 1 clean torstol and 1m cash in the inventory. Use the torstol on the divine ranging/magic potion.
Divine Potions
Divine Potions are "normal" potions, except the difference is your stats do not drain over time like they would with a normal sip of the potion. To note - you do incur 10 Hitpoints of damage when drinking Divine Potions.
TIP: The easiest, static way of obtaining Divine Potions is via Chamber of Xeric. You have a chance of obtaining them from a Common Raids Key.
How to make: You obtain Crystal Dust through Crystal Slayer. Use Pestle and Mortar on the divine shards and you'll get 4 crystal dust for each 100 shards. Then use 4 Crystal Dust per Potion and it will turn into a Divine version of the Potion.
| Potion | Divine Version |
|---|---|
| Super Combat | Divine Super Combat |
| Ranging Potion | Divine Ranging Potion |
| Magic Potion | Divine Magic Potion |
