Torstol is a high-level herb. Clean Torstol may be combined with five different Extreme potions to create an Overload potion. Also, adding Jangerberries to a torstol potion(unf) creates a Zamorak brew, but this is a less common use for torstol than overload potions. It takes level 75 herblore to clean a grimy torstol; cleaning torstol gives 15 Herblore experience.

Obtaining
Torstol may be obtained through the farming skill. Planting a Torstol seed in a herb patch requires 85 Farming. Torstol seeds are very rare drops, but nevertheless farming is the most common source of Torstol.
Torstol may also be obtained from the Sinister chest in Yanille's Agility Dungeon. To unlock the chest a player needs a Sinister key, which is a drop from Salarin the Twisted and a possible item of loot from Magpie implings and Nature implings. Before the release of the farming skill, the Sinister chest was the only way to obtain Torstol.
Torstol may also be obtained as a possible alcove reward from burning Vyre corpses on pyres in the Paterdomus temple's Columbarium.
Noted torstol herbs are also dropped by Ancient mages.
After the Ring of Wealth update the torstol herbs can be dropped (noted) from several monsters that give access to the Rare drop table.
Torstol is one of the five herbs that cannot be obtained from the Sorceress's Garden activity in Al Kharid, along with Toadflax, spirit weed, Snapdragon, and Wergali.
Market
Torstol has been maxed out in the Grand Exchange almost all the time ever since the herblore update in October 2009, due to torstol's use in making Overload potions.
As of 5 August 2010, clean torstol has a max price of over 33,000 coins, where as in September 2009, clean torstol herbs were worth about 3,000 coins each. Torstol seeds have also seen a similar increase in price.
Starting 24 January 2010, clean torstol did crash in price from around 22,000 to 17,000, but since then the price of grimy and clean torstol have fluctuated.
The price of torstol potions(unf) has been rising very slowly, making them appear to be worth less than torstol herbs, even though a torstol herb is used to make the potions. However, it is unknown if torstol potions(unf) will actually rise to the price of torstol herbs because torstol potions(unf) are only used to make Zamorak brews, and these potions do not have enough demand to be made with torstol herbs worth over 20,000 each.
After the Ring of Wealth update on 15 March 2011, the price of torstol fell, due to the large noted torstol drops added to the rare drop table.
Torstol seeds usually rise their most before bonus xp weekends, as many people buy them out to try and make profits.
Trivia
- It can be logically assumed that Torstol has poisonous properties, as both potions that it's used in (Overload and Zamorak brew) lower the player's life points.
