Specifically designed for players engaged in the Herblore skill, these gloves provide a notable boost to potion-making, making them a desirable item for both new and veteran players.
Requirements to Wear Alchemist Gloves
To equip Alchemist Gloves, players must meet the following requirements:
- Level 25 Herblore: This is the minimum level required to wear the gloves.
- Completion of the Quest: Players must complete the quest “The Digsite” to unlock these gloves.
How to Obtain Alchemist Gloves
Alchemist Gloves can be obtained through a specific quest and from unique locations:

- Alternative Methods: After completing the quest, players can obtain multiple pairs by speaking to the relevant NPCs in the Digsite area.
Special Effects of Alchemist Gloves
These gloves offer several special effects that enhance the Herblore experience:
- +3 Herblore Level Boost: When worn, the gloves give a boost of +3 to the player’s Herblore level, aiding in the creation of higher-level potions.
- Reduced Potion Failure Rate: Wearing the gloves decreases the chance of failing while mixing potions, which is particularly useful for high-level potions.
- Increased Experience: Players receive a slight experience bonus when crafting potions while wearing the gloves.
Using Alchemist Gloves in Potion-Making
The Alchemist Gloves are particularly beneficial when crafting the following potions:
| Potion Type | Herblore Level Required | Experience Gained |
|---|---|---|
| Healing Potions | Level 5 | 50 XP |
| Super Restore | Level 63 | 130 XP |
| Prayer Potions | Level 38 | 87.5 XP |
| Overload Potions | Level 96 | 300 XP |
With the Alchemist Gloves equipped, players can create these potions more efficiently, saving time and resources.
Strategies for Maximizing the Use of Alchemist Gloves
To get the most out of the Alchemist Gloves, consider the following strategies:
- Plan Your Potions: Prioritize making potions that provide the best experience relative to your Herblore level.

- Use Experience-Boosting Items: Combine the gloves with items like the Wisdom Aura or experience-boosting potions to maximize XP gains.
Alchemist Gloves vs. Other Herblore Gloves
While the Alchemist Gloves are impressive, players might wonder how they compare to other gloves in OSRS:
- Greenfingers’ Gloves: These gloves are better for farming but don’t help with potion-making.
- Advanced Alchemist Gloves: Higher-tier gloves provide more benefits but require higher levels and quests.
Choosing the right gloves depends on your goals, whether you prioritize Herblore efficiency or benefits in other skills.
Durability and Repairing Alchemist Gloves
Alchemist Gloves do not have a durability feature, which means they can be used indefinitely without the need for repairs. This makes them a reliable choice for players engaged in extensive Herblore activities.
