Ever get confused about the identity of those herbs nestling in the far corners of your bank? Ever wondered exactly what your unfinished potion contains? Well, never fear! We've spoken to the Herbalist of Nardah and put him to work, updating the Herblore skill.
The first changes are to unfinished potions. With this update you will no longer have to wonder what potion is within your vial. The Herbalist has examined them all carefully and labelled them up for you. He's also added a new naming convention to these potions - (unf) - which stands for 'unfinished', so you can tell their status at a glance.
The Herbalist also felt 'identifying' herbs was not the difficult part of Herblore - it's cleaning! So, your unidentified herbs have been replaced with 'grimy' herbs. You will now see grimy ranarrs, grimy marrentills and other mucky herbs. These require cleaning and a certain Herblore level to do so; the same Herblore level that was required to originally identify them. With no more identifying to be done, you will know exactly what herbs you are receiving from the very start.
Your efforts in herb Farming will also produce grimy herbs - giving you a small increase in Herblore experience as you clean them!
The Herbalist in Nardah is more than willing to clean up any grimy herbs for you - for a price of course. He has also, for no extra price, trawled through your herbs, identifying and sorting them into 'clean' and 'grimy' batches. Clean herbs are ready for use, whether in potions, in salamanders or anything else you could do with a herb.

If you know what you're doing you cant get scammed by herbing. That used to be the best way of making money though.
did anyone notice what the new herbs look like now though.... maybe a special 'herb' jagex must use a lot....

update sucks, they have taken a very good way of making cash out of the game and now its impossible to make any cash with herblore unless you do all the work yourself.
Scammers we're never a problem if you knew how to anti-scam which wasn't rocket-science

Which are ugly.
The part that probably won't make a lot of difference, but I'll complain about anyway is that you now get UnIDs when you Farm them. They can be IDed when going to the next patch, but it just seems like change for the sake of change.
There are
lots of things that need updating in the
IDB after this update to do with Herbs and Herblore. Every little helps!

Ooo, I've got a nice selection of herbs tucked away in my bank, a cuple of rannaars.
Has anyone seen the prices, are grimy ones going for the same price as cleaned ones, or slightly lower? It is a shame though, as it will spoil the herblore market a bit, but, you can't have everything.
The new herbs are ugly.

I have seen many players especially the newer ones being scammed by older and more knowledgable players with the sale of unids.
I love this update and think its great that we know what we got now and I really like the aspect where we have to clean them up for more exp pts. I love making the potions both normal and barbarian, and growing the herbs and now cleanin them.
Well done Jagerx a very great update in my opinion.
