Zamorak brews are made by mixing clean torstol and then jangerberries in a vial of water, giving 175 Herblore experience. It requires level 78 Herblore to make.
Zamorak brews temporarily raise Attack by 20% +2, and Strength by 12% + 2. It also temporarily lowers Defence by 10% + 2 and remaining Life Points by 10% + 20 (all numbers rounded down). The potion also restores around 10% of the player's Prayer points.
This potion is frequently used in conjunction with restore potions to raise lowered Defence. Contrary to popular belief, this cannot be used in conjunction with a Saradomin brew to raise all four skills as they will cancel each other out.
Note that Zamorak brew cannot be used with the Lunar spell Boost Potion Share.
People sometimes use this potion to lower their life points to either kill themselves and fully restore their stats, to respawn somewhere else, or to hit higher using Dharok's set effect.
It's no longer possible to kill yourself with a Zamorak brew.
With level 79 Summoning, it is possible to use the Titan's constitution scroll in order to effectively counter the negative side effects of the Zamorak Brew.
Another effective tactic is to use the brews with prayer potions, while fighting monsters that you would be praying against for long durations of time. Lowered defence and life points don't matter, and the slight prayer restoration would keep one from using quite so many prayer potions.
The Enhanced Excalibur can be used to reboost defence and restore 200 life points, negating the loss from the Zamorak Brew. After completing the elite Seers' Village Tasks, the Enhanced Excalibur will heal 400 life points.
Flask
This potion can be made into a Zamorak brew flask by using at least six doses of it with a Potion flask. Players do not need a specific level to turn potions into flasks.
Production costs
This table is based on the Grand Exchange prices of a vial of water, the torstol, and jangerberries. It is accurate assuming all three items are bought from the Grand Exchange and the Zamorak brew is sold afterwards.
| Herb state | Material cost | Profit/loss | Profit/xp |
|---|---|---|---|
| Clean | Expression error: Unexpected < operator. | Expression error: Unexpected < operator. | Expression error: Unexpected < operator. |
| Grimy | Expression error: Unexpected < operator. | Expression error: Unexpected < operator. | Expression error: Unexpected < operator. |
Buying torstol potion (unf)s is HIGHLY recommended to avoid losing massive amounts of money. Even while doing this, a player will still lose 120.7 coins per xp, so this is not a recommended training method which would mean spending 1376643968 coins from 78 to 99, an unnecessarily large amount.
The addition of overload has more or less made the Zamorak brew obsolete, as the former has a far more powerful effect and requires a clean torstol herb (unfinished potion doesn't work).
Grimy torstol is cleaned to become clean torstol added to a vial of water to make torstol potion (unf).
