Money Making

Herblore is usually an expensive skill to train, but there are a couple profitable herblore training methods to maximize gp at lower experience rates per hour.

Cleaning Herbs

Cleaning herbs is a profitable way to train Herblore and can be done quickly by manually clicking each herb, slowly by clicking once and allowing herbs to be cleaned automatically, or by using the Degrime spell in the Arceuus spellbook to clean an entire inventory at once.

To make a profit by cleaning herbs, players simply sell the clean versions for a higher price than the grimy ones on the grand exchange. All herbs have a reasonably high buy limit and large trading volume to support this training method. The table below assumes an AFK, auto-processing strategy, plus time to bank. Up to triple the GP and XP per hour may be gained by manually clicking each herb or using the Degrime spell.

Method				GP/XP		Profit/Hr
Grimy lantadyme	67	13.1	1,633	41.6	545	1.5M	1.3s
Grimy avantoe	48	10	2,575	16.1	161	436k	1.3s
Grimy torstol	75	15	3,551	7.4	111	301k	1.3s
Grimy kwuarm	54	11.3	3,079	6.2	70	190k	1.3s
Grimy cadantine	65	12.5	3,123	4.9	61	165k	1.3s
Grimy tarromin	11	5	504	9.4	47	127k	1.3s
Grimy harralander	20	6.3	776	7.3	46	125k	1.3s
Grimy toadflax	30	8	2,736	5.6	45	122k	1.3s
Grimy guam leaf	3	2.5	394	17.2	43	117k	1.3s
Grimy marrentill	5	3.8	409	9.7	37	100k	1.3s
Grimy dwarf weed	70	13.8	2,103	2.4	33	89k	1.3s
Grimy irit leaf	40	8.8	1,274	2.5	22	60k	1.3s
Grimy ranarr weed	25	7.5	6,155	-0.7	-5	-14k	1.3s
Grimy snapdragon	59	11.8	8,046	-3.1	-37	-100k	1.3s
Grimy huasca	58	11.8	7,458	-35.2	-415	-1.1M	1.3s

Profitable Potions

Some potions can be profitable or break even to make, however the profitability of these potions can vary hour by hour and change depending on the number of doses sold, so be sure to confirm the latest prices when you purchase or sell on the grand exchange. Guthix Rests are a common choice, but require many ingredients, limiting creation to only 5 potions per inventory. Any other potions listed below have potential for profitability based on their current (3 dose) prices.

Method					GP/XP		Profit/Hr
Guthix rest	18	59	+ + + 2	2,642	-0.9	-51	-139k	1.3s
Extended anti-venom+	94	20	+ 3	16,655	38.1	762	1.2M	2.3s
Extended super antifire	98	120	+ 3	16,965	9.5	1,135	1.8M	2.3s

Training with Farming

Herblore can be made significantly more profitable by farming the ingredients yourself, plus you get to train farming along the way! These potions depend only on farmed ingredients or ingredients that can be bought cheaply outside of the grand exchange, making their cost negligible.

Method
Attack potion	3	27.5	+	13	0.9s
Strength potion	12	55	+	90	0.9s
Defence potion	30	82.5	+	630	0.9s
Prayer potion	38	95	+	6,509	0.9s
Super attack	45	108.8	+	929	0.9s
Fishing potion	50	122.5	+	30	0.9s
Super strength	55	136.3	+	3,202	0.9s
Super defence	66	162.5	+	3,619	0.9s
Antidote+	68	163	+ +	1,958	0.9s
Magic potion	76	185.6	+	90	0.9s
Zamorak brew	78	190	+	622	0.9s
Antidote++	79	186.3	+ +	5,881	0.9s

AFK Training

Herblore is not an AFK skill. The most AFK training options are making Tars and potions that use stackable ingredients, allowing for 27 items to be created at once rather than the typical 14. This provides ~50 second AFK intervals for tars and ~30 seconds for finished potions. These methods tend to be moderately expensive relative to other herblore training methods.

Method					GP/XP		Profit/Hr
Compost potion	22	66.3	+	960	-14.5	-959	-4.0M	0.9s
Stamina potion	77	76.5	+ 3	6,039	-3.0	-233	-979k	0.9s
