General Method Description

Weapon poison++ (also known as "super weapon poison") is one of the few ways to get Herblore XP and make money at the same time. The reason is that the primary ingredient, cave nightshade, is untradeable and time-consuming to get. The only way to make this item is to pick it from a slow respawn in a cave near the Ogre City, and the tediousness of this process keeps supply small enough that you can make money with it.

There is no speed advantage to higher levels in Herblore, but at level 96 Summoning you can use a pack yak familiar; its extra capacity means 20% fewer banking runs so you can make a few more poisons per hour.

Incidentally, one way to make this task even more efficient is to bring with noted items to alch for Magic XP while waiting for the nightshade to respawn.
