Grandpa001 Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 I've been away from RuneScape for about a year, so I've missed every update in the past year. But I would really like to get 91 herblore this weekend so I can assist effigies, and I'm really not sure about the best method to use. I have around 150M to spend, and I need some advice on what to make until what, as I have no idea. Fire cape owner since September 25th, 2006.

the_korny Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 1) get scroll of cleansing reward2) make highest xp "useful" potion you can until you level up for the next one (e.g. no zamorak potions), maybe look at gp/xp calculators3) use tip.it's calculator to find how many you need to make for level ups4) once planned, buy/make unf potions BEFOREHAND I've never seen Sixth Sense nor Inception nor many other popular movies and I intend to keep it that way.

Grandpa001 Posted March 13, 2012 Author Share Posted March 13, 2012 So.. 67 - 72 Super Defence72 - 81 Ranging Potion81 - 91 Saradomin Brew Would that work alright?

Once you hit the level to start making untradeables, you should make only that unless you are very certain that you won't be doing much combat. Yes, they are very expensive, but you don't want to be running out of overloads when you are 99 herb, because then you have to pay the fortune then and get extra xp which is arguably useless unless you are competing for ranks/xp.

Grandpa001 Posted March 13, 2012 Author Share Posted March 13, 2012 What are untradeables? Extreme attack\strength\defence\magic\ranged? I'm confused as to what you mean by running out of overloads at 99 herb would cost a lot - don't you have to make more anyways once you get low? Fire cape owner since September 25th, 2006.

Untradeables are those in addition to special recovers, super antifires, super prayers (very niche uses), and overloads. And I mean that you could get 99 right now on sara brews for pretty cheap. But then you wouldn't have any extremes, and so would have to go beyond lvl 99. Yes, this is an extreme example, but it should help you understand it better.

Grandpa001 Posted March 13, 2012 Author Share Posted March 13, 2012 Ah, I got it. So is it generally a good idea to try to make an even amount of those potions? Are special recovers, super antifires, and super prayers even necessary if I just want overloads eventually? Fire cape owner since September 25th, 2006.

Lord Paul Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 No you don't need them for overloads. 500 each of super antifire and recover special is a good starting point. As for extremes, 1k of each is a good idea. If you need more experience, strength and attack are best since you'll most likely use those more often than the other 3. You should plan on making at least 1k overloads. As for super prayers.. meh, not really worth the pain it is to grind the bones.

Grandpa001 Posted March 13, 2012 Author Share Posted March 13, 2012 Oh, I was under the impression that the only reason you make extremes is to make overloads. But you actually do use extremes sometimes? Sorry, kinda behind the times with most skills. Fire cape owner since September 25th, 2006. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, kinda behind the times with most skills. Yeah, most people use extremes except when they are bossing/brewing, since overloads aren't terribly cheap. Really depends on how rich you are and if you are willing to blow a bit to save some time while fighting.

Grandpa001 Posted March 13, 2012 Author Share Posted March 13, 2012 Just bought 2.5k unf snapdragon and 2.5k spider eggs. That should get me from 67 to 77 or so on the weekend, guess I'll see where to go from there. Fire cape owner since September 25th, 2006. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quyneax Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 About the overloads vs. extremes thing: extremes tend to be a bit better for things like hunting green dragons, but they quickly become worth it as monsters drop more loot and have higher defence. Frost dragons are borderline, all bosses and mithril dragons are pretty certainly better with overloads. Overloads also save a bit of space if you would normally carry attack/strength/defence/ranged potions (for example) and they are crucial for magic. Since the highest level boost for magic is +7, you will lose 1/7th of your boost every minute, versus only 1/26th for melee and 1/22nd for ranged. I might add that overloads are very comfortable because you don't have to worry about repotting or stat drain.

Naknub Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 It is a great idea to make some extremes before you reach 99 herblore as already mentioned, therefore you should consider making these when you reach 89 and stop at 91. Now you will have at least a stock of extremes, that you could safe up for making overlaods at a later point, or simply use them for pvm'ing. A note would be it is considerebly better to use extreme potions on example slayer tasks, unless you're very wealthy. At the same point they're quite good experience. If anything should frighten you to not making extremes for this weekend, it would be that you would never gonna use these mentioned potions in combat.

Vezon Dash Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 Well, I went from 67 to 80 herb making super restores only :). When would be the best time to sell my super restores? In a few months. Everyone right now is looking to buy all of the newly made potions for cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
