.:.: 4.0 Gathering Your Ingredients :.:.

There will many different methods of obtaining herbs and secondarys that will be covered in this guide. Some examples are fighting herb droppers, making runs to get secondaries, and farming for ingredients.

 

Obtaining Your Vials:

1) By in bulk from Ardougne, Shilo Village, and Taverley. This is by far the best method to getting vials and water-filled vials.

2) Craft your own vials. Requires 33 crafting. While this method will yield you alot of crafting exp in the long run I do not recommend it because it is extremely time-consuming.

 

Filling Your Vials:

1) The best method by far is to fill them using the humidify spell from the lunar spell book. Requires 68 magic and the completion of Dream Mentor.

2) Fill in the sink in the lumbridge basement(requires RFD to bank) or fill at pup north of Falador West Bank.

 

.:.: 4.1 How To Obtain Your Herbs :.:.

Combat - The eastest and fastest method to accumulate a large amount of herbs. This method is better for lower-leveled herblorist since most of the herbs you will receive will be harralanders and lower. This setion will contain my prefered monsters to kill, there locations, and requirements to kill.

 

Want to bring:

Since most of the her droppers are low level you should not need to worry about your health and armor. Unless you are around the same level as the monster your fighting you can bring anything you want. I do reccomend that you bring your best weapon so you can kill faster. Here is just an example of the melee gear I use:

 

* My recommended location will be highlighted in GREEN.

 

1) Men and Woman-Level 2:

Notes: Men and Woman drop mostly lower level herbs so I advise that you only collect herbs here until you can use Harralanders. These also drop level 1 clue scrolls.

Location:

1) Seer's Village Bar

Requirements: None

2) Edgeville(North of Bank)

Requirements: None

 

2) Chaos Druids-Level 13:

Notes: Chaos Druids are great for getting most kinds of herbs so a varity of herblore levels can use this spot to gather herbs. These also drop water-filled vials, laws, and natures.

Location:

1) North-West of the Ardougne North Bank

Requirements: None

Notes: This location is great in that it is close to a bank but because there are only 4-5 Druids in the building I do not advise gathering here if there is someone else aready there. Also, if you have level 59 thieving you can loot the chest under the Chaos Druids after each trip for 500gp, 2 Blood Runes, and 250 thieving exp(After looting the chest you will be teleported to a building in Ardougne marked with a red dot on the map).

2) Taverley Dungeon

Requirements: None

Notes: Bring Teletabs as this tends to be a long walk to the nearrist bank. Out of all 4 locations I do not recommend gathering herbs here.

3) Edgeville Dungeon

Requirements: None

Notes: Watch out for any revenants that may be lurking in this area.

4) Dungeoneering Dungeon near Chaos Druids in Edgeville Dungeon

Requirements: Level 10 Dungeoneering

Notes: In the Chaos Druid Dungeon there is 1 ranarr, irit, harralader, and Marrentill that spawns quickly.

Really interesting in seeing how this will work out. Some of the pictures are a bit messy, but that is no problem.

As for the gear you use, it might be wise to tell people that offensive is what counts. (Rune defender / zamarok book / Neitz / Fighter torso.. anything that adds to damage per second)

 

Really interested in how big you're planning on making this :D

[foursideking]

Mmhmm....I'd hate to see the lack of a farming mention, especially since it can net you huuuuge profit/xp. Slayer also deserves a mention....mainly getting 65, then killing abberants in the polniv well. Can eaaaasily get around 80-100 ranarrs per hour via cannoning+bringing a t'bird....still netting profit. (78 slayer on my main, had 30abberant tasks between 65 and now, up well over 50mil because of it).

Well, I sorry that I'm a bit slow at getting this up because I get caught up in the actual game most of the time, but I will not forget farming and infact farming already has its own section(not made yet but it is seperate from the other gathering methods) and it's so large of a topic when compared to herblore.
