So I am going to get herb to 85 right away. But what are the odds of getting a +4 boost to get some extr. attack and str. Iam not looking to make alot of ext. but would like a few for solo gwd runs.

 

And I have nevered strewed. Is there a certain amount of brown spice to use to get better odds of getting the +4 boost. Any help would be great.

 

 

Thanks

By using 3 doses of brown spice per stew, your bonus can range anywhere from -6 to +6. You can use 2 doses only, but you have less of a chance of getting over +4.

I think this'll help you

 

 

And if you need any more information, check out this link, it has all you need to know on spices and stews.

the probably is ok

 

i was at 88 and i got to 93 by stewing in 5 tries

 

was going for 92

 

got +3 2 times but + 3 couldn't help me a tthe time

 

Seer eleite done

:wall: :wall:

 

But i think it really is worth getting 89 beacuse it is a pain to stew/greenman alei ing

I am personly gettint my herb to 89 in a few days

 

cost a few extra "M" save cash

On a side-note, can you stew to +4, and use a greenman's ale(m) to get the +2 making your total +6?

 

I'm asking this because stewing to +6 is a pain, and I need it for Seers elite diary. After xp weekend I burned all my herb supplies and a lot of cash, so buying some extra herblore levels is on hold for some time now...

A few facts. Bonuses like that do not stack. You cannot use a Greenman's Ale (m) on top of a stew.

 

The chance of getting a +6 is roughly 1 in every 6 (3) dose stews, assuming you get a little unlucky, it usually gets the level at around the 8-10th stew or so.

 

You can log out into the lobby to reset the timer, so you can technically make a thousand extreme sets with a single stew, albiet a little annoying.

 

You should also note that negative stews DO stack, and you should wait until it returns to the normal level, or use greenman's ale to restore your level, before you try stewing any further.

Darn...I only got a +5 once.

 

I use restores to restore any negative herb boosts, so no waiting times.

I only need to make one extreme ranging pot for the diary....

From personal experience, the chance of getting a +6 boost is much rarer than that. It is better to think of the +6 boost as impossible, considering the time and effort of getting each dose of spice of a certain colour. Get one more level, then try for a +5 boost (and even then, it will take a few tries).

getting +6 shouldn't really be even considered as it's next to impossible, for most skills it would take much less time to actually get the one level than to get +6 from stew, and even then you'd have to be lucky to not lose it in a second. +5, however, isn't common, but common enough to be useful, being about 10% chance. For potion making, +4 or +5 are completely fine as you can log out after every 2 invs of pots and thus keep the boost for any amount of potions.

Gah, you got me. I meant +4

boost don't stack sadly

It would be reasonably fair if they did stack, but the lobby thing didn't work.
