Herblore - The Potions

Introduction

Find out what potions you are able to make from the table below. Please remember that all stat boost potions give a temporary effect and your stats will reset over time.

Note:		You must have completed the Druidic Ritual quest.
Important:		The boosts that some potions can give are based upon your current levels. For example, if you have Attack level 1 and drink an Attack potion, your level will temporarily increase by 3. If your Attack level is 99, this boost will be by 12 levels.
Also:		Each dose will add the same boost to the skills, and are not cumulative. For example, if you drink two doses of an Attack potion, you will not double the amount of Attack levels you temporarily gain.

~ These potions are untradable. They cannot be used in PvP Worlds and dangerous activities, but they can be used in player vs monster combat and safe activities. If you log in to a PvP World while under an extreme potion's effects, these effects will be reduced.

Overload

Those at the top of their Herblore game will be able to create the overload potion. Overload not only requires torstol, but five different potions:

Extreme attack
Extreme strength
Extreme defence
Extreme magic
Extreme ranging

Potion	Herblore Level Needed	Primary Ingredient Needed	Secondary Ingredient Needed	Herblore Experience Gained	Product Effect Per Dose
Overload	96	Five different potions (see text above)	Torstol	1000	See below

Overload is so strong that it racks the body with spasms and burns the digestive tract, so be prepared for 500 damage in chunks of 100 when you drink it! You will regain these 500 life points when the stat effects wear off.

Overload gives you the stat effects and magic boosts of ALL five of its potion ingredients - extreme attack, extreme strength, extreme defence, extreme magic and extreme ranging - for a period of five minutes. Unlike the other extreme potions, which gradually return your stats to their normal level, overload will keep these bonuses at their boosted level for five minutes and will then reset them back to their original state (healing the 500 life points at the same time).

Overload is untradable. It cannot be used in PvP Worlds and dangerous activities, but it can be used in player vs monster combat and safe activities. If you log in to a PvP World while under overload's effects, these effects will be reduced.

Quest Potions

There are more quest potions available within the game than listed within this section of the manual, but you will need to uncover them while completing various quests within RuneScape.
