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.

Mod Chris L
RuneScape Content Developer


So the general gist of it is you can now hit ~45 with Ice barrage (staff + 40% magic boost pot) and you can boost your melee stats to 125.

You can also now Melee dragons without a Dfire shield (SGS'ing them ftw?).

Oh and p2p Pk'ing is dead now, spec potions mean that claws are going to become epically overpowered now.

So ya, discuss?

It will be cool to not need the anti fire shield. I was thinking of buying one of the dragon ones someday.

Thank you Garrett and Dallar.

is the day you have stopped leading them.
They have either lost confidence that you can help them
or concluded that you do not care.
Either case is a failure of leadership.”

Not a lot of people have that high Herb, but knowing the rushers out there they'll spend the money to make claws a 1/2 spec kill.

This, they spend all their money to buy claws and then use claws and monk robes. They'll spend the money for the spec bar, instead of shark brew it be rocktail + spec pot now. hash.png

It was nerfed before it was even out, its hidden away at the bottom of the patch notes that they 'added' a 30s timer before you can take a second dose (yeah I don;t see how they can 'add' stuff to a brand new update, but hey).

I tried out the assist system with it, and yes at the moment it doesnt work, but I get the impression that its a bug and not intentional. Normally if you can't assist to makes something it gives a message along the lines of "You cannot use the assist system to make this" or similar, but with this it just gave the usual box saying "you need X herblore level to make this potion".

I'll try to confirm it asap though neko2.gif

If normal super potions became untradable too, herblore could quite acceptably be classed as a combat skill like summoning.

Challenge any creationist to a debate.
They'll run away and aggressively accuse you of "attacking" them and their "beliefs".
I'm sorry, please, keep teaching our kids that they'll burn in hell if they don't believe. Mutilate their genitals against their will while you're at it. Keep influencing politics and holding back vital scientific research.
I'll just keep my mouth shut to "respect" your "beliefs".

Another great update by Jagex! ./sarcasm

P2P was overpowered to begin with, they only made it even worse. Runescape has been going too long, and now it looks like they are running out of ideas, and the ones they have yet to implement, suck balls.

Not really sure what to think about this update...godswords will go up and dfs will crash. Well the spec pot does suck ass but all in all a pretty good update. But now normal, poor players will have absolutely on chance to buy supplies for herblore, so yeah it sucks to be them.

If they give you just just a bit more power, and then balance offensive and defensive focuses for players, maybe you'll finally get a real boss fight in a few months. Or, you know, you could play WoW and get them right away. wub.gif
