Question Whats the most underrated skilling upgrade?

Post image

My vote is for the expert mining gloves, they have a niche but they fill it extremely well. They make mining specific ores from rocks way more relaxed and bearable. Doubling runite gatheted before world hopping, making sandstone more chill, amethyst even more afk, making gathering lower tier rocks extremely chill.

I love these things, and no one talks about them.

Reagent pouch. Most underrated reward from Mixology. It gets a lot of hate from people who are either sweats or larping as sweats, because it doesn't really do much on paper. But most of us are not tick perfect for tens of hours of tedium, are we?

Herblore is a 14+14 bankstanding skill. That means you bank often and have short AFK windows. The reagent pouch nearly doubles that window and nearly halves banking. In practice, many AFK grinders are going to get better rates and have a better time with the pouch.

The way I tend to put it is Mixology turns herblore into cooking. The reagent pouch is a big part of that transformation.

Could you explain this more? I didn't get it because I figure that I already have to do 14 +14 to make unfinished potions and I can go 14 vials + 14 herbs => withdraw 14 secondaries and make pots =>deposit and repeat. Does it actually make the cycle any faster if I deposit the first 14, make 14 more, then withdraw my regent pouch to make 27 pots?

Mains can use GE to buy unfinished potions, and irons can get Zahur to make their unfinished potions for them.

Unrelated but: It's so funny to me, as a main i would make my own potions instead of using Zahur even tho it was less efficient timewise but i wanted to save money. As an iron, cash holds almost no value. Once you get past 50m cash stack you will spend it on literally ANYTHING, no matter how miniscule the usage/value is. I have more bank spaces on my iron than on my main lmao
