Potions are consumable items that have a variety of different effects and bonuses. Players are able to make most of them at various levels with the Herblore skill using herbs and other ingredients.

Most potions act as a temporary skill boost, but some have other effects, like curing poison or providing dragonfire protection. A player must add a secondary ingredient to the unfinished potion, finishing the potion completely. A newly finished vial of potion contains three (3) doses of the potion. Some higher-level potions require a vial of coconut milk or blood to be used instead of water.

Wearing an amulet of chemistry gives a 5% chance of creating a four (4) dose potion instead. A charged alchemist's amulet increases this chance to 15%. Prescription goggles give players a 10% chance to not consume a secondary ingredients when mixing potions. These items can be useful for conserving resources on Ironman accounts or for potions with rare or expensive ingredients.

Similar to the delay after eating food, drinking a non-barbarian potion will delay your next potion consumption by 3 ticks (1.8 seconds). Notably, food and potions do not share the same timer, meaning it is possible to eat a piece of food then drink a potion in the same tick. Note that drinking barbarian mixes use the same timer that eating food does.
