Herblaw

Herblaw is a skill in Runescape Classic. The main use of herblaw is to make potions, which can be consumed by players for various beneficial effects. Potions have a variety of effects, ranging from curing poison, temporarily raising or restoring certain skills, or poisoning weapons. Potion boosts will generally allow players to perform certain feats that would require a few levels higher to do so, though some quests with skill requirements will not allow boosts to be used.

Getting started in Herblaw requires completion of the Druidic Ritual quest, which when completed, will raise the player's level to 3 (the level to make the first potion). It is impossible to start herblaw without completing the quest.

Obtaining Herbs
With the low amount of players, herbs are a lot less common than in Rs2. The best ways to obtain herbs will be to kill monsters, chaos druids are great when starting out. The other option is to buy the herbs off of other players. Usually, higher amounts of herbs can be found with players on the forums, but low level players will also sell them in banks for cheap prices.

Identifying Herbs
Unidentified herbs must first be identified before you can use them.

Mixing Potions
To make a potion one generally requires a vial filled with water, a herb and a secondary ingredient. Vials can be made using the crafting skill or bought from the Taverly herb shop. Herbs are dropped by various monsters and can also be bought from other players. Secondary ingredients vary widely in their sources, from Eye of Newt obtainable in Port Sarim's and other magic shops, to the scales of Blue Dragons from the Taverly Members' Dungeon.
