im trying to decide on either 94 or 95 herb for overloads because idk if its better to buy 95 from 94 or use greenman's ale m from 94 to make ovls because of their insane price. idk hw many ovls u can get done per dose of greenman's but if some1 knows, please tell me. i plan on making 200 ovls.

here's my nerdy math:

for 90-94:(18,447,236gp)

1.5k ex str(already paid for)

1.5k ex def(already paid for)

500 recover spec(1,961,500gp)

200 ex mage(968,860gp)

200 ex range(1,731,300gp)

11,787 p pots(13,785,576gp)

------------------------------

for 94-95:(12,030,882gp)

200 super prayers(2,115,600gp)

8,834 p pots(9,915,282gp)

Log out every 55 seconds of making overloads with a boost and you keep the boost.

Go with grenman's ale(m) or brown spicy stews.

Rswiki should have info on stews if you're interested.

Go for 95, the money that you would spend on the mature ale will add up to be a considerable amount.

No. Go to lobby before a minute has passed with the boost and you keep it.

or get the brown spices and use them between 92-94, shouldnt be hard to get a 2-4 boost and they are free.

Hi if you're reading this you are amazing and I love you.

Maybe they'll release a bugless update for April Fools. That'd sure be a joke

rs wiki said "A 1 in 8 (12.5%) chance that the player will make a potion twice as fast as usual. A 1 in 10 (10%) chance that when adding an ingredient to a vial of water or coconut milk, or an unfinished potion it will not be used, leaving the player an extra ingredient. "

how many ovls can u make in 55 seconds? 2 invs? more?

no cat =[ lol it always dies when i try to grow it....

That's the problem. Cat are raised not grown(reminds me of My Arm quest. Trying to farm a goat).

 

Leave the cat out and feed it every 5 minutes with cheap stuff such as shrimp. You can do 2 inventories of overs in a minute(I did overs like that for 92-96).I had a bank pin so I had to use the pin option to open the bank everytime I logged back in.

is there anyway to speed the cat growing up? im considering removing my pin to do this but my account info is held by too many people who could probably recover at anytime... =[

Not really you just have to keep the cat out for a few hours.I used to skill while growing it.Would make it seem worth it.

Just keep the PIN then.Removing it won't speed up over making that much.

Getting a +3 or +4 with a stew is not hard

 

Without a bank pin, you can make two invs of overloads (8) in under a minute

As said, logging out after every inventory is good. You save the boost. However, sometimes game ticks aren't in good mood and you might lose the lvl. I suggest you to get 95 (because you'll want 99 herblore sometime) and try getting a few stews. +3 herblore boost from brown spice stew is very common. Not rare at all.

RS wiki is wrong. I've done over 25 k herbs into unf pots in the last two weeks and they have produced 12.5% more unf pots than starting herbs, slightly higher in fact at 12.517%.

I'd make overloads from 92 to 99 herblore, maybe 93-99. Ideally you'd have the extremes done before that, so no pray pots made from 83 onwards.

The only way you should train from 92+ is overloads. If not overloads, then make the potions you need for overloads... then make overloads

In the long run that will hurt you, you should only be making untradeable potions.

PM me in game anytime

 

It's a lot easier then that for an idiot to sound smart on the internet.

 

That's exactly what you're doing right now... just saying.
