Herblore & Olympian Elixirs
Three Olympian herbs, five secondaries, eight single-dose potions with real combat effects - and the passive elixirs you just carry.
The three herbs
Olympian herbs are grown in the farm's herb beds from seeds sold at Athena's Skilling Point Store (1,500 points each). They come up grimy and clean like any herb.
| Herb | Grimy | Clean | Level | Clean xp |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Heliosbloom |  Grimy heliosbloom |  Heliosbloom | 99 | 600 |
| Nereid frond |  Grimy nereid frond |  Nereid frond | 120 | 1,050 |
| Nyxshade |  Grimy nyxshade |  Nyxshade | 140 | 1,575 |
Clean herb + 
Vial of water makes the unfinished potion (
Heliosbloom potion (unf), 
Nereid potion (unf), 
Nyxshade potion (unf)); unfinished potion + secondary makes the potion.
The five secondaries
The three rarer secondaries come from the Hunter Labours - see the Hunter guide - but every recipe except Tidewarden's Tonic also has a Farming alternative, an Olympian crop that stands in for the secondary, so a farmer can brew almost everything from the yard alone.
The eight potions
All are single dose, hand back a vial, and carry their effect in their name so you never have to look it up in-game.
| Potion | Level | Recipe (either secondary) | Effect | Xp |
|---|---|---|---|---|
 Ambrosial Nectar | 99 | Heliosbloom + Ambrosia crystal or Nectar grapes | Heals 40% and raises max HP by 25% for 2 min. No stat drain. | 21,600 |
 Muse's Draught | 105 | Heliosbloom + Athena's olives or Laurel sprig | +50% xp in every non-combat skill for 15 min | 24,000 |
 Oliveheart Phial | 120 | Nereid frond + Athena's olives or Asphodel | Prayer to full, then keeps refilling for 5 min | 36,000 |
 Tidewarden's Tonic | 125 | Nereid frond + Nereid pearl | -30% damage taken for 45 s (2 min cooldown) | 38,000 |
 Hermes' Quickstep | 130 | Nereid frond + Phoenix plume or Moly | Attack one tick faster for 30 s (5 min cooldown) | 40,000 |
 Stygian Draught | 140 | Nyxshade + Hephaestus ember or Pomegranate | +50% damage for 20 s (3 min cooldown) | 56,000 |
 Ares' Ichor | 142 | Nyxshade + Ambrosia crystal | +25% crit chance for 30 s (2 min cooldown) | 58,000 |
 Phoenix Tincture | 145 | Nyxshade + Phoenix plume or Golden apple | For 10 min the next killing blow heals you to full instead (30 min cooldown) | 60,000 |
XP is the base on-screen drop before your multipliers.
A potion timer bar in the bottom-right of the screen counts every active effect down. The Provisions talent tree makes all of them last longer (+25% keystone, up to +75%), gives a chance a dose is not used up, and can refresh one that expires mid-fight for free.
The Artisan talent Bulk Brewing lets you use noted herbs on noted vials and brew the whole stack hands-free. With Flow at ten stacks saving materials on every craft, Herblore becomes the most relaxed 150 on the server.
Passive elixirs - carry, don't drink
Four Olympian elixirs work while they are anywhere in your inventory. "Drink" just explains the effect.
Both drop-rate lines show in ::dr and the damage lines in your bonus-damage breakdown.
Where to train 1-99
Stock Herblore is standard: herbs from drops and Demeter's seeds, potions at the usual levels. The Olympian tier is where the xp is, so get a farm cycle of Heliosbloom running as soon as you hit 99 Farming and Herblore.
