This is the herblaw guide, where u will find out all about herblaw and how to use it. We have herblaw tables and xp thanx to tip.it

What do do with this skill
Herblaw is the art of making potions, anywhere from curing poison, to boosting your strength, to making your own poison.
Herblaw isnt a very good money maker at first, but once you get into the higher level potions that most people cant make it is a fairly good money-maker.
One of the best purposes of herblaw are potions that boost your stats, there are defense, strength and attack potions that can boost those skills up to 10 points for a time.

How to raise this skill
Raising this skill is quite easy, you make potions, ill get more into how you make potions down the way. But basicaly it includes identifying herbs, and mixing the ingrediants in a vial of water.

Where to start
Before you can make potions you need to do a little quest, which i wont tell you exactly how to do because that would ruin the fun of the game.....
To start the druidic ritual quest you need to first talk to Kaqemeex who is hanging around the stone circle north of the new town of tavelry (west of falador). He will tell you you need to go talk to his friend Sanfew he will tell you that they need a bit of help to complete a ritual, and if you help them they will show you how to do herblaw..........Thats all im at liberty to reveal at the moment, but its not that hard, a quest.

What to do
To make a potion you first need herbs, to get these herbs you can either trade for them, or you can kill monsters to pick them up, some monsters known to drop them are: Druids, chaos druids, zombies, black warriors, black knights, and men, for more information on which monsters drop herbs check the tip.it monster database. Once you pick up a herb you need to identify it; you need a certain level to identify each herb.

Once you have gotten the herb you need to get the second ingrediant, the ingrediant varies for each potion, for a list of what each potion needs see below. Some ingrediants are baught, some are collected from spawn points, and some need to be gotten from killing a monster; blue dragon scales and unicorn horns also need to be ground with a pestle and mortor to be used in a potion.

Now that you have collected the ingrediants you need to have something to mix them in, to do this get a vial and fill it with water from a sink or a fountain, then use the herb wih the vial of water, and finally use the last ingrediant with the unfinished potion, and violla, youve got yourself your very potion.

Have: use on: to gain:

Use herb to vial: use ingredient to vial: to gain

Advanced tips
Fed up with buying vials at slow spawnpoints, or paying ridiculous prices of players, well fear not, you can make your own vials.
Thats right, a new part of crafting called glassblowing allows you to make beer glasses, orbs, and yes vials.
To do this you need to collect a bucket of sand from the sand pit on entrana island, then burn a seaweed on a fire to get sodium carbinate, then use the sand or the sodium on a furnace to get molten glass, then use a glassblowing tube with the molten glass to make the vial.
For a more detailed explanation of this go to the crafting guide here
