ive voted for herblore as it appears to have become a rather powerful skill since its last update, i wouldnt be suprised if it has passed prayer in usefulness at a high level

If you only plan to spend 20m, I'd recommend spending it on prayer. I suspect that 20m on herby probably wouldn't be enough to get anywhere significant, maybe extreme attacks at best (But probably not).

Any prayer levels are good, wait till you can afford 88-89 before you start training herby.

Agreed with JC. If 20M is all you're aiming to spend, then go with Prayer as 20M won't really get you much when applied to Herblore. Whereas that may get you a few Prayer levels that will do more for you.

Prayer unless you get enough for extremes.

Voted herb. If I were to buy a skill, it would be a noncombat skill because at higher levels you can make money with it and spend the gp towards a combat skill. Prayer you can do through mini-games as opposed to buying it.

Just out of interest I had a look at how many prayer potion/how much Xp you could get with the intention of loosing 20m:

The loss on a prayer potion (cheapest/easy herb training method) is: 1,821gp for 87.5xp (20.8gp/xp)

That means you could make 10,983 prayer pots for approx ~20m loss, which will give you 961k Xp, which is not quite enough for 88 (approx 130k xp off/2.7m gp cost).

For prayer:

At the current prices of D bones it would get you 3,746 dragon bones, which would get you a little over level 86 prayer (86 takes 3,451 D bones).

Prayer with D bones is: 21.19gp/xp

Meh, I say prayer. Making extremes in the middle of a PKRI won't help you tank tongue.gif

Still supporting Herblore, but you should try to make more money if you want to get something really substantial out of those skills.

The making money argument is really a waste of time. You could be making money boss hunting with your better prayer level. I know you like Bandos too tongue.gif Who needs skills?
