RuneScape: Herbs

A complete description about the herbs.

The herbs are one of the earliest released items in RuneScape. They have special effects if you mix them with water and you can drink the received potions to boost your skills or for example defend yourself against dragonfire. These herbs are dropped by monsters; but you can farm them too with a good farming level.
