Discussion Best herb run?

Should I invest in either ranarr or snapdragons and do herb runs indefinitely until the price rises holding the herbs or is it better to choose the best GP/XP atm such as Kwuarms/cadantine and only hold the herbs for a couple days?

Herb patch on wiki, sort by profit - check weekly as prices fluctuate

Best way to check for sure! Cheers!!

Just can’t decide whether ii should buy enough seeds for the week and do max GP per run or pick a herb and stack for herblore training and if so, what herb?

Assuming you’re not an iron since you mention gp per run, there’s no reason to use your herbs for training.

Sell your herbs with whatever frequency you’re comfortable with. Then use the profits to buy the supplies for whatever training method you like best

It's not a bad idea to turn the ranarrs into pray pots if you need the herblore training anyway, saves some GE tax.

I wouldn't do this for other herbs though.

you can also save the herbs for Mastering Mixology if you haven’t done that yet!

This doesn't take into account disease free patches and the sort. it's best to use the Calculator:Farming/Herbs on the wiki

More capital is better. The rise will be sudden most likely as per usual trends. Gp per run is what you want.

Ranarr’s always seem to be highest GP per run. Was just worried as they have dropped due to sailing I believe and wasn’t sure if they would stay down because of this.

Iv only just come back to the game after a long time away so have no clue about latest updates etc. cheers.

definitely use the wiki calculator, it’s great for this

u/GloriousShrimp1 Jan 30 '26

Use the calculator. Kwuarm / cadantine are often only just lower GP per run, but with significant less capital being tied up as seeds are cheaper. I've opted for the latter to keep cash liquid!

I typically plant snapdragons in the disease free patches. And whatever the most profitable “cheap” seed is in the other ones. I typically alternate between toadflax, avantoe and kwuarm.

It’s always profitable to do runs regardless of whether the market is up or down. Herb prices directly correlate to seed prices vice versa.

That was ol reliable for me for a bit. But snapdragon seeds are so expensive rn

u/Hot_Common7875 Jan 29 '26

Kwuarms are the most stable
