What snape grass is used for

It is the secondary for the ranarr potion that restores Prayer points (38 Herblore, 87.5 xp) and for fishing potions (50 Herblore, 112.5 xp). In Farming, eight snape grass pay a gardener to protect a potato cactus, and it is one of the items that turns a compost bin into supercompost.

Where to get it

SourceDetails
Waterbirth Island27 spawns, the biggest cluster in the game
Hosidius, near the Dibber10 spawns
Hobgoblin Peninsula3 spawns, west of the Crafting Guild
Snape grass seeds61 Farming, allotment patches
Monster dropsMany sources, wyverns drop 10-15 noted

Picking the spawns is a known low-level money maker, and the Lunar Waterbirth Teleport (72 Magic) makes the island runs much quicker. Farming it at 61 is good Farming xp, especially for ironmen who need the grass anyway. The farming calculator shows the seeds you would need to reach a target level.

What moves the price

Demand comes from Herblore training and from bossers who need a steady supply of Prayer point restores. It rises when ranarr weed is cheap, because more people make the ranarr potion, and after updates that add bossing content where Prayer points drain quickly. Supply comes from farmers, pickers and drops, and stays fairly steady. The buy limit is generous at 13,000 every four hours. High alchemy pays 6 coins, so there is no alch floor.

The herblore calculator shows the full cost of each potion with today's snape grass price included, and farming money makers compare growing it with other allotment crops. The Herblore training guide covers when the 38 Herblore ranarr potion is worth making for xp.

Questions players ask

What Farming level do you need for snape grass?

61 Farming to plant snape grass seeds in an allotment patch. It is a decent source of Farming xp and gives ironmen a steady supply of the grass for their Prayer point restores.
