88 herblore with 100m

I would strongly advise doing super defs, contrary to what people in this thread say.

 

The great thing about super defs is that the finished products are so cheap.

 

This means that when you buy all of the whiteberries/unf pots, they are all there. You can physically see them banked, and this is a fantastic feeling when you see your desired level banked, as opposed to other pots where you have to sell back the products to get the cash to buy more ingredients.

 

This also means you're less at the market's mercy like with pots such as sara brews.

 

Super defs will sell. It will just take a bit, but since they're so cheap, you can afford having a bit of money missing for a little while. Mind you, when i got 85-91 herby on super defs, they were being merched and sold for instant max :thumbsup:

 

Hmm, might as well, I'll just make them into extremes after I get 88.

I completely disagree with super defs. There is no advantage to making them. Super defs cost 27.05 gp/xp, super attacks are 25.42 gp/xp, and super strengths are 25.65 gp/xp. So, not only are super defs more expensive, they also dont sell very well. If you plan on using the super pots you make into extremes, attacks are the best. They are cheap to make the supers, and comparable to the cost/xp of restore specs. Extreme defs are useless too. The only time they are worth it are when they are in overloads.

I suppose I should start getting super attack/strength to make into extremes, so, should I make 1k super attack/strength, or brew 88 then buy the super pots?

You dont want to brew anywhere past 84. I would do super atks/str to 81, brews to 84, spec restores to 88, extreme atks to 89, an equal amount of extreme str. If you want to get higher herb (and overloads), you can follow the plan i used:

 

Make brews to 84, then spec restores to 88. Once you hit 88, you will begin to prep for overloads. At this point, you will want to make 2.2k of each extreme pot as you achieve the level. So, make 2.2k ext atks to get you 89. 2.2k ext str for 90, 2.2k defs for 91, 2.2k mages for 92, and 2.2k ranges for 92.8 ish. You will be like 200k or less away from 93 herb. Make those into overloads, and you should be just about 96 (again, 200k away from 96). Is this expensive? Yes. But you will never need more overloads again, and it only leaves you with the cheapest herb exp to finish up to 99. There is no risk of getting 99 and then needing some overloads, which is a waste of cash and time when youre over 99.
