Many of these strategies can be done together at the same time, be sure to plan your strategy well. For quick cash, farming is not the best option, but will be a good option for players with much patience.

'''Notice: The [[Juju farming potion]] will give you a one in three chance of picking two herbs at a time while harvesting herbs, and lasts for 5 minutes. For the more valuable herbs, this will make a SIGNIFICANT increase in profit, and can be made from materials acquired while playing the [[Herblore Habitat]] activity.
