Herblore problems

[mario_sunny]

So right, I'm 4 quests away from that oh so shiny questcape. All I need to do is MMp2, Lunar diplomacy, Devious minds, and Fairy Tale p2. I have all the requirements for MMp2, so that won't be a problem. Lunar diplomacy I lack 61 crafting, but I am only 2 levels away so that won't be a problem. Devious minds won't be too hard either, I just lack 5 smithing levels(I have a dwarfen stout(m)). But fairy tale part 2 is a problem. I am only 6 levels away, but herblore takes FOREVER to train. I am wondering how I could get it up to 57...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

1) ...the non expensive way.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2) ...the expensive way.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Also note I am not going to use spicy stews. Trust me these things hate me, they only raise my level like 2. I made 20 once and not a single one got my herblore even past 54. I know they can raise your level up to 6 with 3 doses of spice, but its just not working.

Well, how quickly do you want the cape? If you want it before the next quest (i.e. before next Monday) the expensive way is the way to go.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If your not too fussed (and like me, think the quest cape is a nice thing to have but arn't going to go terribly out of your way to get it) do the inexpensive method.

No what I am asking is how would you do both of them.

[Mayjest]

Oh right. Teach me to read properly :D

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Well, as the non-expensive one is the one I use, kill Chaos Druids or Al-Karid Warriors until you have loads (and you're gonna need a k or more) of random herbs. ID them all as you go. Then work out how many secondary items you'll need and go get them. If you're lazy, buy the unicorn horns as those are boring to get unless you risk the black unicorns in the wildy. For limps kill the cockatrice as they drop more often than hill giants and people there for slayer often leave them on the ground.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Then make them.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Oh, and get vials everywhere you see them. Shops are useful, but often out of stock. I know there's one with 100 waterfilled vials somewhere, but I can't remember right now.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

While I don't do the expensive version, this is how I imagine it goes: the same as the above, except buy as much as you can afford.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Keep the costs down and buy only secondary ingredients, as paying 1k per for 1k unid'd guams is incredibly annoying, I'm sure.

ardougne have quite a lot, you may need to worldhop a bit

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

also, you might want to consider taverly herblore store.

dwarven stouts won't work on devious minds. you need the level

[Rosanante1]

As a level 76 herblorist I would suggest the following:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

1. Cheap way is to kill chaos druids in Edgeville dungeon or Yanille. This is time consuming but it gets you free herbs whilst levelling up your combat. You might want to sell the unids which are way above your ability to ID and use the cash to buy herbs which you can convert into pots for XP.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2. Expensive but quick is to start with 100k and buy unids, merchant higher unids and buy more unids until you have enough identified to make pots by the hundreds - it's quicker than you might think and you make money on the side.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

3. If you reckon to do M-Ends PII, then you have the ability / agility to reach Salarin in Yanille up the rock climb (Level 67 req' - or 64 + pot). He drops keys to a chest which gives higher level herbs which you can convert or sell.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Good luck!

Yes they do work.

[TeeBeaun]

You can buy ranarrs and make p pots to either break even or make some money.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I also think that getting 10 points at Pest Control and buying the herb packs might work, in the time it takes to get the 10 points with affliction, you wouldnt get nearly anything that good at the chaos druids.
