OSRS Grid Master Herblore Training Guide
Getting Herblore levels in Grid Master is way faster than in the main game. Between boosted drops, relic perks, and auto-gathering herbs, you’ll hit high levels almost by accident if you plan it right.
How to Train Herblore in Grid Master
Herblore starts strong once you unlock the Friendly Forager relic by cleaning 3 grimy herbs. This gives you the Forager’s Pouch, which automatically stores herbs and grants small Herblore XP whenever you gather resources like logs, fish, ores, or Hunter catches. It works like a Herb Sack, shares storage with it, and even gives herbs based on your level +25.
After unlocking Friendly Forager, you’ll want to focus on consistent herb drops and easy secondary items. With boosted drop rates (up to 8x), early game monsters like Chaos Druids, Ogress Warriors, and Hill Giants rain herbs. You’ll fill your pouch quickly even before farming comes into play.
Best Early Herblore XP Methods
1. Cleaning Herbs
Start by cleaning every herb you collect from Friendly Forager or monster drops. XP is boosted by your base multiplier (5x), so early cleaning alone can get you several levels fast.
2. Making Potions
Use your stored herbs from the Forager’s Pouch to make unfinished potions. The pouch saves secondary ingredients 90% of the time, and all potions made have 4 doses instead of 3, meaning faster XP and better output.
3. Combining With Gatherer
If you unlock the Gatherer relic, your XP from skills like Fishing, Mining, or Woodcutting gives bonus Herblore XP through Friendly Forager. The synergy between these relics makes passive training extremely strong.
4. Using Monster Drops for Secondaries
The boosted drop rates in Grid Master make it easy to collect secondaries. Common examples include:
Limpwurt roots from Hill Giants
Eyes of newt from stores and early NPCs
Red spider eggs from Varrock Sewers
Snape grass from the coast near Crafting Guild
Each of these items has a high availability due to the 8x drop rate multiplier.
Mid to Late Game Herblore Training
As you progress through your grid, you’ll unlock faster XP scaling and better resource efficiency. Super potions, prayer potions, and super restores become common to make. With relic stacking, you’ll rarely run out of secondaries or vials.
If you plan to max Herblore, use the following tips:
Keep your Forager’s Pouch filled with only the herbs you want to farm
Save higher-tier herbs like torstols for super combat potions
Mix in Slayer or Boss tasks that drop high-value secondaries
Always clean herbs manually when capped on pouch space for passive XP
Final Blurb
Herblore in OSRS Grid Master is one of the easiest skills to train thanks to relic stacking, drop rate boosts, and the Forager’s Pouch. You’ll gain levels just by playing normally, and with a bit of planning, you can push Herblore into the high levels before you even realize it.
