does barrow armour go down in status if your attacking in it but the opponent is not attacking pack (like safespot).

[SirBlack]

go kill chaos druides, use the herbs they drop to increase your herblore lvl.

Yes, your equip degrades according to combat time, not attack/getting hit time, so safe spotting will degrade the armor pieces

tarromins and ashes -> serum 207

 

 

 

Tarromins are quite cheap, ashes are to be picked up in for instance draynor. Make potion (same exp as normal str pot) empty, rinse-repeat.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Or: make prayer pots: buy ranarr weeds 6k (or less of course!) ea, get your own snape grass (hobgoblin peninsula or rellekka) and sell for 7k+ each.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Or: farm the herbs! Get the seeds from pickpocketing master farmers, farm, get 2nd ingredients and off you go!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Or: like the above poster said, kill choas druids, men, al-kharid warriors (+ROW) to get nice herb drops.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

There are also quests that give herblore exp as a reward, like the latest "my arm" quest and the "eadgars ruse" quest.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

All this is cheap, or even giving you profit!

Couple of additional tips:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Go for the herbs that have secondary ingredients that are east to obtain:

 

 

 

Toadflax - pick frogs legs (Gnome stronghold)

 

 

 

Harralander - Buy chocolate from Gnome Tree stronghold

 

 

 

Guams - easy to get hold off, and just needs eye of newt.

 

 

 

irits - also good as they just need eye of newt

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

People fixate far too much on ranarrs, so the price is inflated and they're hard to come across. You could probably buy 5 times as many toadflax for the price of 1 ranarr.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Buy / steal loads of seeds and farm the herbs. Stock up on the herbs for a couple of days before making the potions in one big batch. You can buy the vials in Ardougne (too popular) or quieter out of the way places like Taverly. I moved my house there for a while so that I could stock up on loads of eyes-of-newt and vials more easily.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You can also kill the Chaos Druid Warriors down in Yanille dungeon; these are fairly decent herb droppers, but also drop secondary ingredients which can help you stockpile the harder to obtain stuff.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Keep all your higher level herbs that you can't yet identify. These can be a massive boost to your herblore once you reach the level to identify and use them. You can suddenly find yourself with a couple of hundred irits that'll take you straight up to the next level.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If you can afford it, buy some unids. If you're a couple of thousand off a level, paying 1K per herb is worth it to put you up to the next level. You can usually tell from the spread and numbers of herbs on offer as to whether the deal is a rip off or not.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Good luck

I think harralanders + chocolate for energy potions is best. Harralanders are pretty common drops from the chaos druids, or cheap if you buy them. The chocolate is really easy to get, especially now they've made the default stock in the grand tree to 30 at a time (10 dust and 20 bars).

at the moment im doing the ranarr way which seems to work well with a tidy profit too :P

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

buying:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

seeds: 15k each

 

 

 

weeds: 5k each

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

at the moment i have around 8 seeds and over 100 weeds from this :oops:

I dunno if this is helpful, but when I was super-duper-uber broke, use Serum 207s on Morton residences to sometimes get some tarromins back.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It's slow and painful, but as I said, when you're broke....
