Types of Potions:
We've gone over herbs and second ingrediants, which brings us to our last section on herblore. The potions themselves. This is the finished product. To make a potion you will need a vial of water, your herb, and your second ingrediant. Combine the herb into the vial of water, followed by the second ingrediant, and voiala, you have your potion!



When you make a potion it will have 3 doses, however if you click one potion, select "use", and use it with another potion of the same type you can combine them. This allows you to carry more doses of potion (up to 4 per vial) without using any extra space.

Serum (207)

This potion, and the ability to make it is obtained during the Shades of Mort'ton Quest. It is used to turn he afflicted villagers back into normal people for a short period of time. Serum 207 can be made by mixing tarromin and ash in a vial of water. It can be used on the afflicted by "using" the potion on them.

As a few final notes, making Serum 207 gives 50 Experiance, and the effects can be made permenant by using it on the sacred flame while at 20% sanctity or above. This will create Serum 208 which will permenantly cure the afflicted.
