07-Oct-2009 - High-level Herblore Potions

This week, high-level herbalists will find a variety of new, 
untradeable potions at their disposal. Using your increased knowledge
of the Herblore skill, you will find you now have the ability to add tertiary
ingredients to some potions to increase their effect.

These potions aren't just limited to stat boosts either.
Have you ever wanted to take your godsword on dragon-slaying trips?
Now's your chance, with the super antifire potion (at level 84).
Are you approaching near mastery of the Herblore skill?
If so, there’s a potion that may just ‘overload’ your entire body (at level 96) – dare you drink it?

On a side note, those who can mix the extreme magic potion will find it
doesn't work in a similar way to its lower-level equivalents. When used,
this potion will boost all offensive spell damage by 40% for a duration
of six minutes, and will stack with magic staves that boost magic
damage.

I heard you could hit like 68 68 with d bow and 48 with ice barrage. And you can restore your special attack with a potion.
Btw the new potions are untradeable and I heard they cannot be assisted.

"boost all offensive spell damage by 40% for a duration

lol nerf? that's too insane…

edit:
~Recover special 84
Super energy potion
Papaya

lol what what? that costs only 1,5k, which means that you buy a couple of these potions and spam The Judgement or Slice And Dice

Overload:

Herblore Level - 96
Primary ingredient - Five different potions
Secondary Ingredient - Torstol
Herblore Experience Gained - 1000
Overload is so strong that it racks the body with spasms and burns the digestive tract, so be prepared for 50 damage in chunks of 10 when you drink it! You will regain these 50 Hitpoints when the stat effects wear off.

Overload gives you the stat effects and magic boosts of ALL five of its potion ingredients - extreme attack, extreme strength, extreme defence, extreme magic and extreme ranging - for a period of five minutes. Unlike the other extreme potions, which gradually return your stats to their normal level, overload will keep these bonuses at their boosted level for five minutes and will then reset them back to their original state (healing the 50 Hitpoints at the same time).

Overload is untradable.

Have you ever done any PvP-ing? There are many high level players, and it doesn't cost that much to get to 84(or any of the required levels) herblore… at least for the kind of people that usually do pvp at high levels.

Our opinions are very different. I think that high level player (who don't have high only combat skills) should have an advantage. I think that skills should be involved in combat: each skill should have some kind of bonus in combat and with this update players with high herblore have an advantage and that's what I would like for every skill.

Well, you forget some things.
What about the new 22 HP fish which gives you a nice amount of HP boost?

22 hp fish is nothing really, i think manta ray heals 22 hp so its not a big issue.
