Herblore: which potion from which herb?

[civie]

What are the best uses for the following herbs (I have the current usage in parentheses)

Main goal is to make money (I gather almost all secondaries myself or use MMK, herbs are farmed + MMK)

 

Ranarr (Prayer potion)

Toadflax (Saradomin Brew)

Irit (Super Attack potion)

Avantoe (Super Energy potion)

Kwuarm (Super Strength potion)

Snapdragon (Super Restore potion)

Cadantine (Super Defence potion)

Lantadyme (Antifire potion)

Dwarf weed (Nothing yet, probably sell)

Torstol (Nothing yet, probably sell)

Essentially the highest level pot that herb can make is the one to go for.

 

Until you hit extremes at whihc point I think 1 or 2 herbs you use at lwoer than max to make supers to then make extremes.

The best way to use those herbs is to figure out what potion gives a good balance of cost and speed for you (super attacks are pretty good right now), and sell all your herbs to buy ingredients for that potion. Otherwise you'll waste a lot of money you don't really need to.

Pretty much the highest experience potion you can do. If you want to make money then don't do herblore, just sell the herbs/secondaries. If you mean you want to train herblore while reducing the amount of cash you'll spend then have a look at this link: http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=tix0mH-83pgzsARJj6D9vvA&output=html Pick the potion which is the best compromise of gp/xp and xp/h. Then sell all of your other herbs and buy those potion supplies. Your herb gathering methods are solid.

Torstol is only for overloads. I don't recommend doing anything else with them.

 

Otherwise, what green said. The best right now is farming torstol (or snapdragon) with a scroll of life, selling the herbs, then buying irit/eyes of newt and selling super attacks, or buying super energies and papaya and making special recovers.

The best way to use a variety of herbs is to sell them all to get the most herb for the best potion (However you define best, since there's usually a trade-off between gp/exp and exp/hr).

Thanks for all the info.

 

Guess I'll sell the Torstol then (I won't be using Overloads ever, and making them is a waste then) and buy more herbs/secondaries.

I can farm lots of herbs untill a third Bonus Exp Weekend is announced.
