Clean cadantine is a high level herb. It is used to make super defence potions at level 66 Herblore. Players can obtain it by cleaning a Grimy cadantine at level 65 Herblore, which gives 12.5 Herblore experience for cleaning.
One way to obtain cadantine herbs is through farming Cadantine seeds which requires 67 Farming.
When used in conjunction with White berries it makes a super defence potion which gives 150 Herblore experience. Chaos druids are mainly killed to get cadantine drops. Aberrant spectres also drop cadantine herbs often. To create a potion, you need to add the cleaned herb to a vial of water to create a cadantine potion (unf), and then add the secondary ingredient.
According to the book Gielinor's flora - herbs, its name comes from the word Cadan, meaning "spirit of war" in a lost mage tongue.
