This article is about the Herblore skill. For training the skill, see Herblore/Training.
Herblore is used to make potions that grant bonuses to various skills and combat actions. A single potion has multiple charges and will not be consumed until all the charges are depleted. Potions must first be equipped for use, with each skill having its own potion slot, accessible by selecting the potion icon at the top right of the game screen. The automatic re-use of potions can be enabled through the potion menu.
Raising Herblore to 
Level 99 will unlock the 
Herblore Skillcape for purchase from the Shop. Equipping the Herblore Skillcape doubles potion production. Making a potion normally takes 2 seconds. Purchasing the 
Expanded Knowledge upgrade reduces this time by 15% to 1.7 seconds, with 
Qimican reducing the time by another 5%.
New tiers of potions are unlocked at certain 
Mastery levels. Once a tier has been unlocked, new potions brewed will automatically be made at that tier. If you somehow miss a tier, any tier of potion can be obtained through the use of 
Herblore Potions. All tiers of a potion cost the same materials and reward the same experience, providing additional charges and/or more potent effects as the tier increases.
Potions in the bank can be upgraded to the next tier once the player has the appropriate Mastery level at a 3:1 ratio. For example, a player with 
Level 20 can convert three Melee Accuracy Potion Is into one 
Melee Accuracy Potion II.
The skillcape can be purchased from the store for 1,000,000
after the player reaches Level 99.
Each potion requires both an herb and a secondary ingredient. Secondary ingredients are typically associated with the skill the potion is paired with (e.g. 
Secret Stardust Potion and 
Stardust). Herbs can be acquired primarily through planting their seeds in 
Farming, but can also be acquired through 
Combat and 
Thieving.

IVWhen using potions that have a chance to activate, a charge is consumed whenever a relevant action is performed, whether or not the potion's effect actually activates for that action.
For example, if using a 
Bird Nest Potion I, a charge will be consumed every time a log is cut regardless of whether a 
Bird Nest is received.
