Recommended Posts

So, im looking at getting 85 herblore some time soon,

 

thinking about my current levels super strength looked to be the best option however after doing some maths it looks like i will break the bank that i dont have!

 

can somebody take a look at this and let me know what i have done wrong if anything or advise a cheaper method

Kwuarm = 5761gp

Kwuarm Costs = 5761*22315 =128'556'715

 

Limpwurt Root = 1463gp

Limpwurt Cost = 1463*22315 = 32'646'845

total product production cost = 161'203'560

Yea your maths is fine, it really does cost that much to go from 65 to 85 Herblore. As a result of the bonus xp weekend the normal means of training herblore have gone up in cost quite considerably, such as Super Attacks and Super Strengths (before bonus xp weekend was announced you would have lost between 20gp and 23gp per xp, now you're losing between 32gp and 34gp).

Prices should come down again after BXP weekend, though I couldn't say by how much. Hope this helps.

You're math (no English accents here :razz: ) is fine, but I wouldn't consider herb training right now unless you want to take advantage of the bonus exp weekend. If you take that into account with and average bonus of 2x then you'd only be losing around 42mil. Otherwise, wait a loooong time to let prices stabilize, and that means both letting herb prices drop and pot prices rise and all the training will cause tons of pots to be dumped into the ge at once.

If you look at the graphs for prices before the announcement of the Bonus XP weekend you will have an idea as to what the prices will fall to after the weekend, items like pots are likely to fall even further though due to the huge amount of potions going to be made. So just wait it out and the cost will come down.

 

To give you an idea, about a week before the weekend was announce I bought the supplies for 67- 85 herblore for 53mil.
