Defence potions are made by mixing clean ranarr and then white berries in a vial of water, giving 75 Herblore experience. It requires level 30 Herblore. It is generally believed that making Defence potions is an uneconomical use of ranarr, since it can also be used to make the much more expensive prayer potion.
This potion is almost never used as a super defence potion is both stronger and cheaper.
Defence potions temporarily raise your defence level by 3-12 (3 + 10% of your defence level, rounded down).
They can be bought at the Warrior Guild Potion Shop for 880 coins.
Previously, during the Jekyll and Hyde random event, if a clean toadflax herb was given to Dr. Jekyll, he would give out a defence potion.
Production costs
This table is based on the Grand Exchange prices of a vial of water, the ranarr, and white berries. It is accurate assuming all three items are bought from the Grand Exchange and the Defence potion is sold afterwards.

Trivia
- A defence potion costs more than a super defence potion, which boosts defence more. This is due to the fact that a ranarr is used, which is mostly used to make prayer potions.
