Boosting for Extremes

Featured Replies

I've heard that you can boost you're Herblore level to make Extremes/Overloads. Obviously you can use spicy stew/greenman's ale to boost, but the boost doesn't last very long. I'm 85 Herblore and I'd like to start boosting to make some extremes, but if I got a +3 boost on a spicy stew I would only be able to make like 1 inventory of potions before I would have to go through the process of boosting again. How exactly do you guys boost to make so many potions?

When you get the boost you need you exit to the lobby, come back in make some more potions, rinse and repeat. Leaving to the lobby causes your boost timer to reset.

Ohhhh that makes a lot of sense, thanks!

Two more questions:

 

1. Is there any limit to how many times I can keep the boost by entering/exiting the lobby?

 

2. How many inventories can you make before you have to enter the lobby again?

until you mess up.

 

2. How many inventories can you make before you have to enter the lobby again?

it demands on things like if you use a bank pin or mousekeys for banking, and what kind of potion your making (ext ranges vs. OVLs vs. whatever) but you have 1 minute from the time you log in.

answers bolded

DK drops (solo/LS): 66 hatchets, 14 archer rings, 13 berserker rings, 17 warrior rings, 12 seerculls, 13 mud staves, 7 seers rings

QBD drops: 1 kite, 2 visages, 4 dragonbone kits, 3 effigies, lots of crossbow parts

CR vs. CLS threads always turn into discussions about penis size.

It's not called a Compensation Longsword for nothing.

I've sent a 12k combat mission to have Aiel assassinated (poor bastard isn't even Pincers-tier difficulty).

1. You can do it an infinite amount of times as long as all logins are under 60 seconds.

 

2. Typically you can do two inventories of extreme ranging, three inventories of overloads, and 1 and a half inventories of other extremes.

 

Login - withdraw supers and herbs - close bank - make extremes - bank extremes - withdraw supers and herbs - logout

Login - make extremes - bank extremes - withdraw supers and herbs - close bank - make extremes - bank extremes - logout

Repeat.

Averages 1.5 inventories, or 21 extremes a login. (Little over 1k pots an hour, including lobby time)

 

All of these are the safe methods, you can technicaly do a bit more but if you lose your boost you're screwed so it's not worth risking unless you're a robot. (lol and they're gone now :P) They do still require you go pretty fast though. Make sure your pots are in an easy to see space in the bank to minimise time wasted finding them.
