07-Oct-2009 - High-level Herblore Potions

This week, high-level herbalists will find a variety of new, untradeable potions at their disposal. Using your increased knowledge of the Herblore skill, you will find you now have the ability to add tertiary ingredients to some potions to increase their effect.

These potions aren't just limited to stat boosts either. Have you ever wanted to take your godsword on dragon-slaying trips? Now's your chance, with the super antifire potion (at level 84). Are you approaching near mastery of the Herblore skill? If so, there’s a potion that may just ‘overload’ your entire body (at level 96) – dare you drink it?
On a side note, those who can mix the extreme magic potion will find it doesn't work in a similar way to its lower-level equivalents. When used, this potion will boost all offensive spell damage by 40% for a duration of six minutes, and will stack with magic staves that boost magic damage.

In other news...
As part of the conversion of the worn interface and inventory to a newer internal file format, certain items now have clearer right-click options when using them. For example, the amulet of glory now lists the four different destinations it can take you to instead of just saying 'Operate'.
The Game Engine team have made sure the player list is now randomised to prevent priority being given to some players over others because of their IP address.

You can now navigate around the world map using arrow keys.



Herblore update sounds good, due to be updated for a while.

That means Ice Barrage could deal upto 42 HP worth of damage, and with the extra staff offensive bonuses, probably around a maximum of 45-46..?

Some amazing potions.

Good luck getting 99 herblore now.

Jeeeeeeeeez, awsome potions there ftw.

so what happened to giving a new skill to the F2Pers :(

Finally there making higher lvl content but yeah doing herblore is gonna cost alot now , well atleast for awhile ...

Some of those potions are ridiculously powerful. I'm really glad they aren't tradeable.

apparently the potion that isnt on that list "overload potion" requires 96 herblore, is also untradeable and adds +50 to all combat skills for 5 minutes.

to make an overload potion you need:

• extreme attack potion
• extreme defence potion
• extreme strength potion
• extreme range potion
• extreme magic potion
• 1 clean torstol

the result is one 3 dose black potion of extreme power. overpowered is putting it lightly anyone can get 96 by training at chaos druids in edgeville dungeon, high levels on abbreant spectres and keep/bank thousands of ranarrs and avantoes which both use snape grass which we all know has a respawn point so u dont have to pay a penny. the same goes for agility potion and frogs legs they respawn at taverley, red spiders eggs in karamja dungeon.... water elementals drop vials of water 100% of the time so if you have the time 99 herblore dosent have to cost a dime!

it would also take u ages if u collected everything ur self =/

super antifire sounds lickable.
I may start playing again just to get 85 herblore.
ehhh.
