A super strength is a potion made by using a limpwurt root on a kwuarm potion (unf), requiring 55 Herblore, yielding a super strength(3) and 125 Herblore experience. A dose of super strength provides a temporary skill boost to Strength equal to 5 + 15% of the player's current Strength level, rounded down.
Super strength along with super attacks are popular for player killing, bossing, Slayer, or melee training. The dragon battleaxe special may be preferable for melee training because it provides a similar boost while being much cheaper in the long run.
Crystal dust may be added to super strength, 1 dust per dose of potion, to make a divine super strength potion, requiring 70 Herblore.
A super strength(4), super attack(4), super defence(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 strength(2), requiring 59 Herblore, yielding a super str. mix and 42 Herblore experience. A super str. mix has 2 doses, boosts Strength equal to 5 + 15% of the player's current Strength level, rounded down, and heals 6 Hitpoints.
A super strength(4) is a reward from Jekyll and Hyde random events if a snapdragon is given to Dr Jekyll.
Effects
Strength boost is calculated with: ⌊StrengthLevel×15100⌋+5
Stat boosts will decay at a rate of 1 point per minute, or 90 seconds with the use of Preserve.
