Take a quick quiz to find out whether you‘re Alpha, Beta, or Omega.
Super combat potions in OSRS are made by combining a super attack, super strength, and super defense potion in a vial of water, then using a clean torstol herb on it. You'll need level 90 Herblore to make it, and it boosts all three combat stats. By the way, if you enjoy the grind of leveling a skill and the power fantasy that comes from a character becoming insanely strong, you might find 'No. 1 Supreme Warrior' a fun read—it's all about a main character methodically cultivating his strength and martial techniques to utterly dominate every battlefield he's thrown into.
Short and to the point, but with the little tips I picked up: you need level 90 Herblore to make super combat potions in 'Old School RuneScape'. The process is the standard Herblore routine: clean your herbs, use the correct secondary ingredients to create the intermediate potions, then combine them into the final super combat potion. If you don’t want to farm herbs, buy them on the Grand Exchange — sometimes that’s cheaper than the time cost of farming.
I like to alternate crafting sessions with farming runs so my bank doesn’t go dry, and I always check price history before I start to make sure it’s worthwhile. Making them yourself gives great XP and a real sense of accomplishment, but if you’re in a hurry, buy them pre-made. Either way, they’re a staple for bossing and always useful to have in the bank.
I usually go for the quickest route: check the Grand Exchange and buy the finished super combat potions if I need them fast. If you want to make them yourself in 'Old School RuneScape', you’ll need level 90 Herblore plus the right herbs and secondaries. The workflow is straightforward but time-consuming — clean your grimy herbs, make the base potions, and then finish the super combat craft. For me the decision is always time vs. money: if I’ve got time to farm herbs (or patience to wait for favorable prices), I craft; if I’m headed to the boss room and need them now, I buy.
One trick I use is queuing up multiple herb runs and grabbing experience lamps or boosts between makes to bank experience efficiently. Also, consider alternating between making super combats and selling some ingredients because prices fluctuate — sometimes it’s cheaper to sell herbs and buy the potion instead. I tend to keep a handful stocked in the bank for spontaneous bossing sessions.
When I want to really sink into a production session I change my whole routine: music on, chat muted, and I set a small in-game goal like ‘make 50 super combats’. The creation process in 'Old School RuneScape' is methodical — you’ll need the right Herblore level (90), clean herbs, vials of water and the appropriate secondary reagents. I lay everything out in bank tabs in neat stacks: herbs in one tab, secondaries in another, vials in a third. Then it’s just click-and-mix. Doing it assembly-line style reduces mistakes and makes the time fly.
If you’re interested in profit, track herb prices and the cost per dose: sometimes it’s more profitable to sell finished potions, sometimes to flip the herbs. I also alternate between herb farming patches and crafting sessions to keep my supply chain steady; Farming runs give me a satisfying rhythm and save money. Another small quality-of-life tip: use a preset or inventory layout that fits four-dose stacking so you can bank efficiently. Crafting that many at once feels oddly cozy — like a potion factory in pocket format — and I enjoy the little payout when I sell a stack or take them into a big PvM trip.
I got obsessed with making every potion I could in 'Old School RuneScape' back in the day, and the super combat potion is one of those endgame Herblore staples. To make one you need a high Herblore level (90) and the right ingredients, so first step is sorting your supplies: buy or grow the high-tier herbs, stock up on vials of water, and grab the necessary secondary ingredients from the Grand Exchange or by gathering. The actual crafting process is the usual Herblore flow — clean grimy herbs if needed, make the intermediate potions, then combine into the final product at a bank-friendly pace.
Practically speaking, I like to farm my herbs between runs so I’m not buying every ingredient. Use a few boosts where you can — portable wells, the Ardougne cloak teleport runs, or a house with a garden if you’re into that — to speed it up. If you’re new to high-level Herblore, start by making the lower-tier potions to learn the rhythms: cleaning, mixing with a secondary ingredient, and banking in stacks. Once you can consistently churn out doses, super combats are just a matter of efficient loops and patience; they sell well, too, so it’s satisfying to flip raw materials into decent GP while leveling. I always feel a little proud when I walk away with a full inventory of four-dose super combats.

In my last life, I secretly slipped a Love Potion into the cup of my destined mate, the Alpha of my pack, Jason Green. As expected, he fell in love with me.
We held the grandest mate-bonding ceremony in our pack's history and became the couple everyone envied.
The effects of the Love Potion would last seven years. I naively believed that it would be enough to win his true heart.
But Jason's childhood friend, Lilian Foster, traded her own tongue to a black-market witch for the antidote.
The moment the truth was exposed, the love in Jason's eyes turned into a hatred that pierced through the bone.
He sold me to the black market as a live test subject for experiments and forced me to drink a Corrosive Spellvial. My insides rotted away, and I died from sheer pain.
Now, I had regressed in time, once again holding that same bottle of Love Potion.
This time, I didn't hesitate. I drank it all in one swift movement.
Jason, I wouldn't beg for your love again.
I was going to love myself.
So… Why are you the one who ended up regretting it?

The wild kingroots that are worth 500 thousand dollars are completely used up even though Susan has only made soup with them twice in a row.

"They must have melted in the soup because of my lack of attention! Please dock my pay, Ms. Lawson, but please don't fire me!"
But that night, I come across a post uploaded by Susan's son, Roman Cox, on Instagram.
"Hi everyone! Today, I'm challenging myself to eat two wild kingroots in one go!"
When I see Roman picking up a familiar-lookng giftbox, I feel my temper flaring instantly. Then, I order a packet of potent aphrodisiacs meant for animals on the spot.
It turns out that Roman intends to chug down my prized Romanee-Conti in the next episode of his stream.
