Herb run is an activity topic that Gnomonkey covers in 2 videos between 2022-06-29 and 2022-08-03. This article is a stub: his statements are grouped by type, repeated ones merged.
Methods
- Before doing most quests, Gnomonkey would need GP for useful items, and says the easiest way to get it on a fresh account is herb runs.1
- Gnomonkey would rush Fairytale I for magic secateurs and begin farming ranarr or toadflax for starting cash or basic gear.1
Stats and numbers
- With all nine herb patches, all diaries and quests done, 99 Farming with the cape, magic secateurs and efficient teleports, a full herb run profits on average about 250k gp.2
- Assuming a generous five minutes per run (he found a video of an efficient run in four minutes), Gnomonkey says you can do 12 runs per hour for about 3m gp per hour profit at absolute maximum efficiency, versus 3m to 5m gp per hour at Vorkath depending on gear.2
Gnomonkey's opinion
- Gnomonkey says herb runs make a lot of sense earlier in an account, but if you have access to Vorkath or better you are probably better off skipping herb runs and bossing.3
- Gnomonkey has made fun of herb runs in the past but says that on a fresh account they are truly hard to beat.1
