About Potato cactus
"How am I supposed to eat that?!"
Potato cactus is a Herblore secondary harvested from cactus farming patches at Farming level 64 or looted from Kalphite Lair spawns and various boss drop tables. Players combine it with a lantadyme potion (unf) at Herblore level 76 for 172.5 experience to make a magic potion(3), and also use it as the secondary in battlemage potions. Released 7 September 2004 alongside the cactus farming patch update.
