Making Money With Herblore

Herblore on RuneScape has traditionally been one of the most costly skills to raise. However, it has also provided players who want to make money the opportunity to gather up resources to sell to people that need them.

Since the shop update by Jagex, empty vials and water filled vials are unlikely to provide players with any solid money making potential. Although any money invested in empty vials or water filled vials will easily be able to be recovered by selling existing stock.

For members who are buying water filled vials from the shop, they should use their Karamja gloves to get buying their vials for a reduced price. Empty vials normally cost 5gp while water filled vials will now cost 10gp due to unlimited stock.

Non-members can gather up unicorn horns and limpwurt roots as well as telegrabbing wine of zamorak to sell to members who require them for herblore. Although there is not a great deal of demand for many secondary herb ingredients that can be gathered on free to play servers, they can always be used to stockpile your resources if you are intent on becoming a member.

Other secondary herb ingredients that are desired by players training herblore are white berries, red spider eggs, snape grass and crushed bird nests. Most of these are only available on member servers with snape grass generally fetching around 500gp each and other items around 1000gp each.

Unidentified herbs used to be a way to make money on runescape with herblore, although Jagex updated herbs to be grimy instead of unidentified due to the amount of people who used to try and scam other players by lying about the true unid herb. Nowadays, grimy herbs will generally sell for the same price as clean herbs - although this can still make players money IF they do not have an adequate herblore level to be able to use the herbs. It actually makes it easier for players who collect grimy or clean herbs to get a more competitive price.

As in all methods of making money in runescape, it is always advisable to try and work with other people - this usually involved establishing a chain of suppliers (or buyers) so that you can quickly offload any resources when needed, or to enable you to buy resources when needed. This all helps in helping you learn more about merchanting in runescape.
