About this herblore calculator
The XP you need is the difference between the table value of your target and your current experience; actions are rounded up. Costs use the live Grand Exchange price of every material multiplied by the number of actions, and products are valued at the instant-sell price; the net column is what the plan costs (red) or earns (green) overall, and gp/xp divides that by the XP gained, so methods are comparable regardless of speed. Hours come from a typical actions-per-hour figure and are only a rough guide.
Methods above your current level are listed so you can plan a path; the game will not let you use them until you reach the level. Other skills: all skill calculators. Formula and sources: how it's calculated.
FAQ
What is the fastest Herblore XP here?
Saradomin brew gives 180 xp per action (level 81). Whether it is the best choice depends on today's prices: sort the table by gp/xp.
Where do the prices come from?
From the OSRS Wiki real-time Grand Exchange price API, refreshed every five minutes. Inputs are priced at the instant-buy price and outputs at the instant-sell price, so the result is conservative.
Why is a method missing?
The list has methods whose materials and products trade on the Grand Exchange, so a live cost can be shown. Untradeable methods (quests, minigames, drops) are not included.
