That's true. Because you can only achieve the right to do Herblore after completing that quest. Which takes you to level 3 herblore. Good fact. Um, I'm not sure this would work, but what if you used 9 genie lamps for getting herblore exp? That would get you to lv 2. wouldnt tears of guthix work as well? :-k not sure but its worth a shot Im pretty sure both genie lamps and tears of guth require you to be atleast lvl 30 in that skill to gain xp for it. Not genies, I remember using lamp on farming once then I was under 20, of course I don't care about that skill anymore. tears of guthix give you exp in an lvl one skill my friend went to lvl 1 farming to lvl 2
