what is the best way to lvl herb withought loosing that much money? from 57 to 62

 

also, how much will it cost me?

[blurrythorn]

Your best potion to make atm is the Prayer Potion

 

 

 

You lose 6.43 gp/xp, so multiply the amount of xp you need to 62 by 6.43 to figure out how much money you will lose.

 

 

 

This calculator shows the loss of gp/xp per potion

Farm your own herbs. That, or kill abberant specters. They tend to drop quite a good ammount of herbs. Make sure if you do that, take a Beast of Burden with you so you can stay there longer and collect more herbs.

That's a good way of making money, but it doesn't make herblore any cheaper.

Just make money however you normally would, and spend some of it on potion ingredients. And if herb farming isn't part of your moneymaking already, why not? It's hella fast cash.

How is it not making herblore cheaper? You grow your own herbs, so you're not paying as much per herb, therfor, cheaper herblore training.

That is correct, but most people have a way of making faster money then gathering herbs. Making 200k from bones and hides from green dragons is logically better then 100k in herbs.

 

 

 

Also if you want to go for your own herbs throw out a macaw, usually gets you a some nice drops.

Wrong, you still pay the same per potion, you're just making more money to cover the cost. You can't shrink a hole in your pocket just by adding more money to replace the cash that falls out.

Well first off, you really should check out troacctid's guide on herb farming :thumbsup: .

 

 

 

As of right now these are the mid-prices.

 

 

 

Toadflax Seeds: 673 gp each

 

Ranarr Seeds: 23.4k gp each

 

 

 

Say you buy 100 of each seed so thats:

 

67.3k gp for the Toadflax Seeds.

 

2.34m gp for the Ranarr Seeds.

 

 

 

The average is 6.6 herbs for every seed planted.

 

Prices for Clean Toadflaxes: 2.278 gp each

 

Prices for Clean Ranarrs: 6,292 gp each

 

 

 

So profit is:

 

1,503,480 gp from the clean Toadflaxes - 67.3k gp for the seeds = 1,436,180 gp

 

4,152,720 gp from the clean Ranarrs - 2.34m gp for the seeds = 1,812,720 gp

 

 

 

Conclusion:

 

You can make more from the Ranarrs but only if you have the money to put into buying the seeds to begin with. You only make ~400k gp more. But with the 2.34m you saved from buying Toadflax Seeds instead of Ranarrs you could have been doing more and invested more money into planting Toadflax seeds and therefore making even more money.

 

 

 

I hope this make some sense and I also hope I haven't gone to far off the topic here, Im sorry if i did...
