Barbarian potions

[tigershelby2]

A few questions about the barbarian potions:

 

Are they worth it?

Do they sell?

Is there and easy way to make the required doses?

[LJoker]

Are they worth it?

Some of the potions, it's slow but very cheap to train herblore on.

 

Do they sell?

No.

 

Is there and easy way to make the required doses?

No.

The problem is to get caviar because it doesn't sell on GE, you need to go get it your self.

[Ardzik]

Heard that player killers are mainly interrested in those potions. So some would sell, propably combat ones.

[Kidd_Varrow]

The easiest way to make 2-dose potions is to use an empty vial on a 4-dose potions. You'll then have 2 2-dose potions.

I got 99 herblore off ranging mixes(2) and antifire mixes(2), and made around 100-200m profit on the way, so it is indeed a viable training method if you know what you're doing.

 

they are not very slow, they can be 100k-200k xp/hour.

They are not make-x so you can achieve insane xp rates IF you can manage flurry button clicks

 

they do sell slowly from my experience

it also varies depending on the economy

you can sell some by lending godswords

they also sell VERY quickly right after a merch clan buys up the right potions (ranging mixes(2) will sell if a clan merches ranging potions)

 

caviar does sell, i got enough for 99 herbloer after all.

I really don't see how you can do that, reasons:

- trying to buy Caviar at max trade in GE for 1 week, only manage to buy 48.

- trying to sell 48 Sup. def. mix (2) for the last 2 days and sold 0.

- Ranging potion (2)=5,006coins and Ranging mix (2)=4,227coins and Caviar=698, calculating: 4227-(5006+698)=-1477, you lose 1477 coins for each potion.

- to do 106kxp/h and only getting 53xp each potion, you need to do at least 2000 Ranging mix potions each hour (hard to belive).

 

Congratulations for your 99 herblore btw.

Nah, the problem is that the heal is too low to justify repotting every 5 seconds.

 

I doubt the potions sell, they really arn't good at all. The heal is low, and you would need to waste a potion dose to use them.

market changes too frequently to put a solid statement on what is best

I use my spreadsheets, because they update me on what is best

As of 06/14/2010

Antifire mix(2) barbarian potions are amazing IF you can mouse-key them effectively AND sell them as junk, as I believe they are making a profit if you can get your hands on that caviar.

Otherwise mousekeying grimy avantoe cleaning would be very good as well

The next best thing that isn't a button masher is probably ranging potions

Congratulations for your 99 herblore btw.

the thing is, training herblore efficiently means having a good eye on the economy.

Even more so with barbarian mixes.

 

Caviar traded fine when I was training herblore.

Perhaps you just caught a bad time of year to train.

I've never sold super def mixes, but perhaps you just caught a bad time of year again.

ranging mixes made profit when i made them, once again, you caught a bad time of year.

 

The next time a merch clan buys up ranging potions, ranging mixes will skyrocket as well

the thing is, ranging mixes crash much slower than ranging potions.

so when ranging potions are cheap again, ranging mixes will still be expensive, hence yielding profit.

 

yes you need to do 2000 ranging mix potions per hour to achieve 100k xp/hour, which I can personally do by hand.

Presumably even higher rates can be achieved with use of mouse keys, and the fact that you can left click caviar now.

the trick is getting the ranging potions(2).

I bought them straight off GE and got my friends to make (3) and (4) dose potions into (2)'s for me in exchange for buying their junk

 

So barbarian mixes, like all other herblore training methods boils down to whether or not it's actually a good time to be training herblore with this method of training.

as of right now, apparently not.

But that isn't always the case.

 

when barbarian mixes are good... they are REALLY good though.

hm....they still have their uses like slayer or camping, eg

2 prayer barb pots > 1 shark + 1 prayer pot
