OSRS Herblore Boost Guide
Boost your Herblore level to craft potions early.
OSRS Herblore boosts are essential for ironmen and regular accounts to craft potions before reaching the required level. The most common boosts are temporary.
Best Boosts
- Botanical Pie: A guaranteed +4 boost. Easy to buy or bake (72 Cooking).
- Spicy Stew (Orange): A potential +5 boost using Brown Spice, but random (can be -5 to +5).
- Greenman's Ale (m): A cheap +1 boost for minor requirements.
Strategy
For consistent boosting, use Botanical Pies. For one-off high-level requirements (like Overloads in CoX or elite diaries), gamble with Spicy Stews.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the mature Greenman's Ale stack?
No, it does not stack with spicy stews or botanical pies. You can only have one visible skill boost active at a time.
How long does the Botanical Pie boost last?
It lasts for 60 seconds before decaying by 1 level, just like standard stats. Preserve prayer can extend this by 50%.
What is the max boost possible?
The maximum boost is +5 from a Spicy Stew (Orange spice), but it is RNG-based.
