Herblore

Recommended Posts

EDIT: Ok, new question. I am 92 herb. I did the quest for stews forever ago and don't remember how to get it. Help on that would be appreciated. Also, how long does the boost last? I hear that if you log before a minute or something you can keep the boost when you login again? Oh, and is there anywhere that overloads are like reaaally good? They are expensive I know, so using them sparingly would seem like a good idea. I don't boss hunt much, but I might look into it. Thanks!

 

 

Well I would like to finally get a high level herb. I am wondering what I should make from 79-84.

 

Then what is a good way to go from 84-90ish for extremes. By this I mean, what is a good break up of potions between spec restores, super antifires, and extremes so as I pretty much never have to worry about making them again?

 

I have around 70-80m to spend on this, is that enough? I guess I could sell off some more stuff, but I would rather not...

 

~Thanks in advance.

Use grimy's spreadsheets for the best gp/xp when making pots to 84. Then, you will want probably 1-2k+ spec restores, 1k sup antifires, and an even number of extremes. Keep most of your extremes in (3)s so you can use them when you get a high enough level for overloads. I usually decant about 100 of each at a time to last for a while.

 

Hope this helps.

I was assuming that you were going to stew boost for your extremes. If you aren't, then you could make a larger amount of spec restores and antifires along with cheaper gp/xp potions to get to 88.

2k antifires should. Spec restores may or may not, depending on how often you use them.

 

If you run out, you can always make more :D

I like to think of the Dark Bow like a Rocket Propelled Grenade (RPG) - you get one shot and then you're screwed.

Don't forget the silenced glove made with the hunter skill. I reckon they are tradeable, but i can't remember the exact name.

Gloves of silence. Not sure they work though, they didn't degrade when I used them.

 

Don't get 2k superantifire. It's 6k doses @ 6 mins per dose for a total of 36k minutes, 600 hours. That's enough to get a visage and a dragon full helmet drop AND enough chewed bones to get a d full again (well maybe not quite, but you get the point).

 

600 hours is enough to get a divine spirit shield at frost dragons, or max melee and ranged there twice.

Good point. 1k is plenty then.

Yeah I decided on 1k. Thanks for confirming. After I got 1k feathers I wasn't going to get anymore anyway.... >.<

I did super attack its cheap and fast. once u get 88 just make alot of extreme attacks.

 

What kind of advice is this? Based on personal experience? Of course he wouldn't want to make lots of extreme attacks, he would want to make an even amount.

Yeah I ended up with around 2900 of each melee extreme (3)'s. I will only put some into (4)'s as needed, so as I have extremes to use for overloads at 96 when I eventually get it. Also made about 500-750 of extreme mage and range, and enough spec restores and super anti's to last a millennia.

 

Thanks for all the help guys! Got to my goal! icon_thumbsu.gif

92=/=Overloads with a easy 4+ stew boost.

 

Yeah I just realized that. I did that quest forever ago, how do I get the stews for herb? And I heard something about logging out before one minute so you keep the boost? Help on that would be appreciated. Thanks.

In edgeville, take your cat (not kitten because the catch rate is terrible for kittens) into dave's basement. Catch the hell rats with your cat. You want the brown spices.

 

When you get a decent amount of spice doses, go to wherever you are going to do overloads and have everything ready. Use 2 doses of brown spice on each stew until you get a bonus to bring you to 96 (don't forget to use restore pots if your herb level drops as a result of the stews).

 

I personally use a timer, it's up to you. Make sure you log out at least a few seconds before 1 minute.

I reckon you need 3-4 doses for 4+ boost.

 

You can only add 3 doses of spice max.

 

I recommend this, because you can get +4 but also +5 or even +6 giving you some room for error. Since getting the spices is where it hurts, it will hurt some more to have the ease later on.

Use 3 spices on a stew. There's a really annoying delay, you can't use more than one spice per second even if you can click that fast <_<.

 

Drink a random stat boosting potion, eee/dbaxe spec etc. Wait for the boost to drop by 1. From that point you have 60 seconds to boost & log. I personally drink only 3 stews or so (can only prepare one at the time).

 

If you get the boost, log. If you don't, drink another or wait. If you get a negative boost larger than 1, use a spirit leech scroll or super restore potion to restore.
