Eye of newt is used in Herblore to make Attack potions at level 1 and Super attack potions at level 45.
They are fairly low in price because players can buy them from many Magic and Herblore stores.
Eye of newt is needed for quests including Witch's Potion and Recipe for Disaster. Also, after players complete Tower of Life, they can use them in the Creature Creation activity, along with a chicken feather, to create the Newtroost. Finally, they are food for the sneakerpeeper spawn.
This item is almost certainly a reference to the Shakespeare play Macbeth (Act 4, Scene 1), in which the witches add eye of newt to their brew.<ref>Macbeth, Act 4, Scene 1 - ClickNotes.com</ref>
At one time Eye of Newt was worth 200 coins on the Grand Exchange and could be bought or sold quickly. However, with the introduction of Eye of newt packs, each of which contains 50 eyes of newts, the increased supply causes the price of this item to drop quickly to 16-18 coins. The price later rose to over 100 Coins, likely due to the price manipulation by a merchant clan, but has fallen again since then.

Money Making
Because of recent updates with "Packs" of items being sold in shop this is now a hard way to make money in free to play or pay to play.
Locations
- Frincos's Fabulous Herb Store in Entrana - Players can use the Balloon transport system from Castle Wars, which costs 1 normal log. Then they can choose a bank in Draynor Village or Pest Control, or use the bank drop at the Entrana monks in Port Sarim.
- Port Sarim magic shop (if Balloon system has not been unlocked) - to get to Port Sarim you can use the Explorer's Ring 3 to teleport to the Draynor Farm cabbage patch and run south to the shop. The easiest way to store is to drop them in the bank drop close to the Entrana monks on the docks. If you need to pick up something from your bank, you can choose from several banks. Either run to the Void Knight sea transport on the Port Sarim Docks (south) and bank at Pest Control, or use a Call to arms scroll with a Void familiar as a quicker alternative to the sea transport. An Amulet of glory teleport to Draynor Village bank is another method. Still another is to use a Ring of duelling to teleport to the Castle Wars bank.
- Poletax's Herblore Shop in Taverley. It is at the Herblore stall between the Prayer, Firemaking, and Hunter areas.
Eyes of Newt can also be bought in packs containing 50 eyes of newt each. They are found only in the Taverley and Entrana stores, which stock 20 packs each.
