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.

The herblore calculator works out the cost per xp for each, using today's herb and secondary prices.

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.

Questions players ask

What Herblore level do you need to clean dwarf weed?

70 Herblore, giving 13.8 xp per herb. Cleaning grimy dwarf weed you have bought can make a small profit per herb, which adds up if you clean a full buy limit every few hours.

What potions use dwarf weed?

The ranging potion at 72 Herblore, and the menaphite remedy at 88 with lily of the sands, which restores drained combat stats over five minutes. Both start from a dwarf weed potion (unf), which also needs 72.

What Farming level do you need for dwarf weed?

79 Farming to plant dwarf weed seeds in a herb patch. Disease is a real risk at that level, so most players use ultracompost or the Fertile Soil spell to protect their harvest.

Should I buy grimy or clean dwarf weed?

If you have 70 Herblore, grimy is usually a little cheaper and you get 13.8 xp per herb for cleaning it. Without the level, buy clean. Compare both prices on the day before you buy.
