What dwarf weed is
Dwarf weed is the second-highest level herb in the game, behind torstol. Cleaning a grimy one needs 70 Herblore and gives 13.8 xp. Its main job is the ranging potion, one of the most used combat potions, but it goes into a high-level stat restore potion as well.
Potions it makes
| Product | Herblore | XP |
|---|---|---|
| Dwarf weed potion (unf) | 72 | 0 |
| Ranging potion | 72 | 162.5 |
| Menaphite remedy (with lily of the sands) | 88 | 200 |

Where it comes from
Farmers grow it from dwarf weed seeds at 79 Farming. Seeds come from many monsters, medium seed packs and Hespori. A lot of supply also arrives as noted grimy herbs in boss loot: Callisto and Vet'ion drop 45 at a time, the Alchemical Hydra drops 25-30, and Sarachnis and the Abyssal Sire add more.
What moves the price
Ranging potion demand is the big driver, and it follows how many players are bossing with Ranged. Menaphite remedies add steady demand from bossers whose combat stats get drained. Supply is large and fairly steady thanks to boss drops, which keeps dwarf weed cheaper than its level suggests. Herb run profits shift with seed prices, so check herb run profit before planting a full run.
High alchemy pays only 42 coins, so the only floor is what Herblore trainers will pay. The Farming training guide covers herb runs alongside tree runs.
