Herbs (cadantine)
Cadantine is a member’s herb in Old School RuneScape (OSRS) that players can harvest for use in various potions and other processes. The herb is characterized by its dark green leaves, which players can identify easily when they are seeking to gather it. Cadantine is primarily used in the Herblore skill, where it serves as a key ingredient for making several potions.
To obtain Cadantine, players must first have a farming level of 67. It can be grown from a Cadantine seed, which can be purchased from various shops or obtained as loot from monsters. The seeds can be planted in a herbs patch, requiring one of the following items: a spade to prepare the patch, and some compost to improve growth rates.
Once planted, the Cadantine plants take approximately 80 minutes to grow, and players can check their growth by using a spade on the patch or by examining the plant. Cadantine plants can yield multiple harvests, allowing players to get several herbs from a single growth cycle. When harvested, each plant typically produces one or more Cadantine herbs.
Cadantine herbs are highly sought after for their utility in potion-making. The primary potions that require Cadantine are the Super Restore potions, which are created by combining Cadantine with a Snape grass and a vial of water, along with the respective potion levels required. Super Restore potions are invaluable in high-level PvM (Player versus Monster) scenarios, making Cadantine a vital herb for high-level players.
In addition to potion making, players can also use Cadantine in Herblore training. It can be cleaned to obtain a clean Cadantine, which contributes experience points in Herblore. The experience earned by cleaning Cadantine is approximately 6.3 experience points per herb cleaned.
Cultivating Cadantine in herb patches is one of the most efficient ways for players to gain Herblore experience, particularly during the 67-78 range of Herblore. Due to the popularity of its associated potions, the market demand for Cadantine is consistently high, making it a profitable venture for players specializing in Farming and Herblore.
Overall, Cadantine represents an important herb in Old School RuneScape, not just for its uses in potion-making but also for its role in the broader context of Farming and Herblore training strategies. Players should take advantage of the opportunities it provides to enhance their gameplay experience.
