New Herblore Boost

[muggiwhplar]

Just a few questions about the new herblore boost from Flash Powder Factory... I'm hesitant to make any more overloads w/o the 4-dose boost.

 

Is it true that I only need 3 of the new pieces of equipment for the extra dosage boost? Does having more than 3 pieces increase the odds of making 4-dosers?

 

What are the odds of getting the 4-dose potion boost while making potions?

 

Approximately how long does it take to get 3 pieces of equipment? How many pts/hr can I expect?

 

Edit-- is it true that the 4-dose boost doesn't work for overloads?

From info I've seen

 

3 piece set = 4 dose pots

5 piece set = unf pots giving xp

 

4 dose effect seems to be stable at 15-20% pots covered.

Unf pot effect is equal to herb cleaning xp but seems to be 100% from wat I heard.

Apparently super restores, extremes, overloads and jujus don't work with 4 dose effect. For the overload types I'd imagine this is intentional rather than a bug since you are mixing multiple pots together opposed to making a potion.

 

No personal testing, just an amalgamation of various sources I've seen that say about the same thing.

 

Points wise if you follow the no pickpokceting as its a time waste, quit out as soon as you exceed 450 points you should be managing around 6-7 mins a game for around 100 reward points. So I'd estimate 800-1k an hour as a rough points/hr rate. 12k points for full outfit.
