Identification

To identify a herb you can click on an herb once it is in your inventory. If your herblore level is high enough you will be able to identify it. If it is not high enough, you will not be able to identify it. JUST REMEMBER: Save all herbs whether you can identify them or not, because you may only need a couple of levels until you can identify it and when your level gets very high it will take a long time to raise it. The more herbs you get, the easier it will be when your level increases. All herbs look the same:

Making Potions
To make a potion you will need to get the following items: (Attack potion ingredients shown)

1. A water-filled vial.
2. An Identified herb.
3. And the second Ingredient.

All you have to do then is:

1. Use the herb with the water-filled vial.
2: Use the second ingredient with the unfinished potion.

Of course, you must have the correct herblore level to make each potion.
Use the below chart to determine if your herblore level is high enough to make a certain potion.

Grounding

To ground items in Runescape, you will need to purchase a 'Pestle and Mortar' from the Herblore Shop in Taverly. Once you ground items like the 'Unicorn Horn', you can add them as your second ingredient for certain potions.

This is what a Pestle and Mortar looks like:

Poisoning

If you are a member of Runescape, you have the ability to poison arrows and daggers. When you use the poisoned weapons in combat, it will poison the victim.

To poison a dagger or arrows, you must have the level-60-herblaw potion 'Weapon Poison'.

Not only can you be poisoned by daggers, spears or arrows, but poisonous monsters, such as the 'Poison Spider', can also poison you.

If you get poisoned, the only ways to cure yourself is by drinking an "Anti Poison"' or a "Super Anti Poison" potion.

If you die, you are free from poison when you're "reborn".

Poison will wear off after a certain amount of time.
