A super defence is a potion made by using white berries on a cadantine potion (unf), requiring 66 Herblore, yielding a super defence(3) and 150 Herblore experience. A dose of super defence provides a temporary skill boost to Defence equal to 5 + 15% of the player's current Defence level, rounded down.
Crystal dust may be added to super defence, 1 dust per dose of potion, to make a divine super defence potion, requiring 70 Herblore.
A super defence(4), super attack(4), super strength(4), and a torstol can be combined to make a super combat potion, requiring 90 Herblore.
After Barbarian Herblore Training, caviar can be added to a super defence(2), requiring 71 Herblore, yielding a super def. mix and 50 Herblore experience. A super def. mix has 2 doses, boosts Defence equal to 5 + 15% of the player's current Defence level, rounded down, and heals 6 Hitpoints.
A super defence(4) is a reward from Jekyll and Hyde random events if a lantadyme is given to Dr Jekyll.
Creating a super defence in the Fremennik Province is a requirement for completing the hard Fremennik Diary.
Effects
Defence boost is calculated with: ⌊DefenceLevel×15100⌋+5
