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.

Here’s the simple math and where I look first: high alchemy returns 60% of an item's base value (rounded down), so to get the high alch price for a 'super combat potion' you take whatever base value the game/wiki lists and multiply by 0.6. If you want a quick example, if the 4‑dose potion’s base value were 4,000 coins, the high alch would be 2,400 coins (4,000 × 0.6 = 2,400). That same approach works per dose if you’re looking at 3‑, 2‑ or 1‑dose versions — use that version’s base value.
I usually check the 'Old School RuneScape' Wiki or a live price tracker for the current base value because potion prices fluctuate with the market. High alch is fixed relative to the base value, so once you know the base you’ll always know the alch: base × 0.6. Personally, I keep a little shortcut in my head for quick decisions while merching or deciding whether to alch stacks during training — it saves so much time and panic selling, honestly.

Lately I've been checking potion math between raids and thought I'd share the breakdown for making a super combat potion in Old School. The quick recipe: you combine a super attack (4), a super strength (4), and a super defence (4) to make a super combat (4). There's no extra herb or item needed to fuse them beyond those three potions, and you need Herblore 90 to create super combats yourself.
Cost-wise, it's literally the sum of those three potion prices. So if the Grand Exchange shows super attack (4) at 13k, super strength (4) at 12k, and super defence (4) at 10k, you're paying about 35k to make one 4-dose super combat — roughly 8.75k per dose. Market swings matter: during bossing weekends or double XP events the herbs go wild, so the total can jump or dip by several thousand. I usually check prices and compare buying the three supers directly vs. buying the raw herbs and making them myself; sometimes buying the finished supers is cheaper when herbs are spiking. Personally I keep a small stock before big boss nights to avoid price gouging, it's a tiny ritual that keeps me calm before a fight.

Whenever I'm gearing up for a big melee trip in 'Old School RuneScape', the super combat potion is one of those go-to tools I always consider. I usually drink one right before the pull — that way I get the full-duration boost for the entire opening window of the fight. For bosses where both accuracy and raw damage matter (think high-def targets or long single-target fights), the potion really moves the needle: you hit harder and more often, which shortens kill times and lowers the time you’re exposed to mechanics.
I also time sips around boss phases. If a fight has a phase change that resets stats or if the boss stuns/debuffs you, I either take a top-up right after that mechanic or plan my doses so the strongest phases align with potion uptime. If the fight is short — like quick trip kills or small-volume slayer tasks — I might skip it and save the doses. Pair it with your offensive prayer and the right gear for maximum effect. Personally, lining up my super combats with a stacked gear setup feels great; the bosses crumble faster and I get to enjoy smoother trips.

I got into this because I wanted every advantage for bossing in 'Old School RuneScape' and the short, fun truth is: yes — you can absolutely use prayer and a super combat potion at the same time. I usually pop a super combat before a big fight to boost my Attack, Strength and Defence, then flick on melee prayers like 'Piety' or 'Chivalry' to add another layer of damage and accuracy. They don’t conflict; the potion changes your boosted skill levels and the prayer applies its bonus on top of that, so you end up hitting harder and taking slightly less damage.
That said, mixing the two means you’ll be burning through prayer points faster, especially if you keep protection prayers up. In longer fights I carry prayer restoration items — typically prayer potions or super restores — and I’ll plan my potion timing around brews and restores if I’m doing tanking or high-sustain fights. In short: combo away, but bring enough prayer supplies and time your reboosts. It feels great to see the numbers climb when both are active, honestly.

Quick heads-up: in 'Old School RuneScape' a standard super restore potion comes as a four-dose vial. It’s shown in-game as super restore(4), and each sip takes away one dose, going super restore(3), (2), and (1) before leaving you with an empty vial.
I tend to think of them like a little emergency kit — each full potion gives you four uses, which is handy when you’re tanking a boss or swapping between brews and restores. They’re especially clutch after using a Saradomin brew because the brew raises defence and heals hitpoints but lowers other combat stats; a couple of sips of a super restore will get those stats back to fighting shape. I always keep a stack of them in my bank, and the four-dose format makes inventory planning much easier. Feels good to know exactly how many saves you’ve got left.

Price-wise, prayer potions in OSRS usually sit in a pretty predictable band, but they do wiggle depending on patches and PvM demand. Right now I’d say a four-dose Prayer potion commonly trades for roughly 700–900 gp on the Grand Exchange most days. That means a single dose works out to about 175–225 gp if you break the math down, though prices occasionally dip below 600 gp or spike past 1,000 gp during hot weekends or new boss metas.
I tend to watch these for a few hours before I buy — if I need a stack for a team trip I’ll buy in bulk when the price is soft, and if I’m crafting I’ll compare the herb/bottle costs versus the GE price. Flipping small lots can be decent if you’ve got patience and buy limits under control; otherwise it’s a handy, affordable boost for any prayer-heavy activity. Personally I like having a few hundred doses on hand because nothing ruins a boss trip like running out of prayer, so I usually load up when prices look calm.

Got a soft spot for tricky Slayer tasks, and cave horrors are one of those oddly satisfying nuisances in 'Old School RuneScape' that make me plan my inventory like a little puzzle.
My baseline loadout for them always includes: an anti-poison (or anti-venom if I’m feeling cautious), a stack of Saradomin brews paired with Super restores, and whichever offensive boost matches my style — super combat (or super attack + super strength) for melee, ranging potions for bows, or magic potions for spells. I also bring prayer potions or a few doses of super restore if I’m using protection prayers, plus a stamina for running around the cave if you need to kite or teleport out. The key is that Saradomin brews heal but lower your Attack/Strength/Defence stats, so pairing with a Super restore keeps your offensive capabilities from tanking too much.
In practice I sip the offensive boost before engaging, use anti-poison right away if any poison hits, and save brews for big hits or when my HP dips below halfway. If I’m doing a long Slayer trip I’ll pack a few extra prayer restores and an extra anti-venom; if it’s a quick task, a single dose of anti-poison plus a couple of super restores usually suffices. Cave horrors can surprise you, so I like to keep an emergency teleport or teleport tab handy — better out than respawning. Feels good to stroll out with the drops and a tidy profit, especially when the potions were used perfectly.

Back in my grind-heavy days I leaned on Prayer potions like they were tiny lifelines, and here's the lowdown in plain terms.
A Prayer potion restores your Prayer points when you drink a dose. The amount restored per sip is 7 plus 25% of your Prayer level (rounded down), so higher Prayer gives bigger heals. It cannot push your current Prayer points above your maximum (your Prayer level), and each potion has multiple doses (4-dose, 3-dose, etc.), so you sip several times during a boss trip or long task. In 'Old School RuneScape' players use them to keep protection prayers, offensive prayers like 'Piety', or simply to top up during long fights.
Practical tip from personal experience: if you only need Prayer top-ups and aren’t worried about lowering stats, Prayer potions are cheaper and more direct than 'super restore' for many activities. I still pack a few whenever I plan to abuse Protect from Melee or stay on a prayer-heavy rotation—tiny bottle, big difference.

All right — here's the straightforward way I talk myself through making Prayer potions in 'Old School RuneScape', the way I explain it to friends when we’re grouping up for a Herblore session.
First, get the clean herb you need and a vial of water. In general Herblore workflow you use a clean herb on the vial to create an unfinished potion, then use the correct secondary ingredient on that unfinished potion to finish it into a Prayer potion. If you’re not 100% sure which herb or secondary item is required (the game lists it in the Herblore skill interface), check the in-game Herblore tab or the wiki — they’ll tell you the herb name, the level needed, and the XP you get. I usually buy my herbs on the Grand Exchange in bulk, clean them all at once, then make the unfinished potions and finish them in batches.
A few practical tips I always mention: make them near a bank for fast banking and stacking, use a noted-herb supply if you’re buying, and plan the volume you want to make so you don’t waste inventory space. I like to do a few thousand at a time if I’m training or just make a stack if I’m brewing for trips — feels satisfying every time I click through a successful batch.
