What is the Extended Antifire?
The Extended antifire is a powerful potion in Old School RuneScape (OSRS) designed to protect players from dragonfire attacks. It is a unique item that enhances the user’s resistance to dragonfire for an extended period compared to the regular antifire potions. This makes it a must-have for players who intend to battle dragons, particularly the more formidable ones like Vorkath and the various dragon bosses.
How to Obtain Extended Antifire
To brew the Extended antifire, players need to combine the regular antifire potion with the following ingredients:
- Antifire Potion: The base potion that provides initial dragonfire protection.
- Grimy Torstol: A herb that is commonly used in high-level potions.
- Vial of Water: Essential for creating potions in OSRS.
Players can brew this potion using level 92 Herblore at a bank or an Alchemy table. The resulting potion provides a duration of up to 12 minutes of protection, making it invaluable for prolonged encounters with fire-breathing foes.
Duration and Effectiveness
The Extended antifire potion offers a staggering 12 minutes of protection from dragonfire attacks, which is double the duration of a regular antifire potion. This added duration allows players to engage in extended boss fights or slayer tasks without the need to constantly reapply their protection.
It provides a 100% reduction in dragonfire damage, effectively nullifying the threat from dragons and other fire-breathing bosses. Additionally, it has no level requirement to use, making it accessible for all players, although the ingredients do require a certain level of Herblore.
Usage Scenarios
Players often use the Extended antifire potion in a variety of scenarios, including:
- Dragon Boss Fights: Engaging with dragons such as KBD (King Black Dragon) or the newly introduced Vorkath.
- Slayer Tasks: When assigned dragon-related tasks, players can maximize their efficiency by using this potion.
- Minigames: Activities like the Fight Caves and other combat challenges where dragonfire is a risk.
Using this potion allows players to focus more on their offensive strategies without worrying about taking significant damage from dragonfire.
Comparative Advantages
When compared to other dragonfire protection methods, the Extended antifire potion stands out due to:
| Item | Duration | Protection Level |
|---|---|---|
| Regular Antifire Potion | 6 minutes | 100% reduction |
| Extended Antifire Potion | 12 minutes | 100% reduction |
| Antifire Shield | Permanent (while equipped) | 100% reduction |
The Extended antifire potion provides the longest duration among consumable items, making it the best choice for long fights. However, for players with a higher combat level, carrying an Antifire Shield can be a more permanent solution, but it requires inventory space.
Skill Requirements
To brew the Extended antifire potion, players must have a Herblore level of 92. Players can increase their Herblore level through the following methods:
- Training via Potions: Making potions from lower-level herbs and using them to gain experience.
- Completing Quests: Certain quests reward Herblore experience, helping players level up faster.
- Buying Experience: Using experience lamps from activities like Treasure Trails or minigames.
Investing in Herblore not only unlocks the Extended antifire potion but also opens up various other high-level potions that can enhance combat efficiency.
Cost and Market Trends
The cost of the Extended antifire potion can fluctuate based on the prices of its ingredients. Here’s a breakdown:
- Antifire Potion: Approx. 1,000 coins
- Grimy Torstol: Approx. 2,000 coins
- Vial of Water: Approx. 1 coin
Therefore, the crafting cost is around 3,001 coins per potion. However, the market dynamics can change based on the supply and demand of Torstol and the popularity of dragon encounters in-game.
