Is Flash Powder Outfit really worth it?

[puretppc]

I somehow found this on a Herb guide but this outfit requires a lot of playing in the Flash Powder mini-game. If I use it for Herblore, is it worth it (based on the time it takes to get the full set and based on how good it is).

 

Also I have a few more questions regarding this:

1) Which set piece is best to buy first and last (assuming you want the best benefit to make the most out of the mini-game)?

2) Does the 20% rate of making an extra dose in a potion actually work for Overloads, Extremes or any untradable potions? I heard sources claim that it does and other sources claim it does not. Can anybody confirm?

3) What is the fastest way to get this outfit and how long does it take on average to get all of it?

I'd go with no, not worth it these days. The 3/5 pieces (extra doses) may be borderline handy if you lack botanist outfit from th (the xp boosting outfit) but the 5/5 pieces is kinda pointless.

Making unfinished potions with scroll of cleansing from dg is between 1-3m gp an hour. With the experience from the outfit is about 40k xp an hour which isn't terrible if your focus is making money.

Well seemingly making unfinished potions are the most profitable ways of non-combat but they might be hard to sell sometimes.

 

Also, how long does it actually take to get the outfit from scratch?

ahah.

 

Yes, wanna go get it?
