Bob Barter is one of the Market Price Guides located in the south-west corner of the Grand Exchange. He has little use in free player worlds (Decanting those strength potions), as herbs can only be used by members.
Bob appears to be poor, garbed in unwashed clothing. However, he is actually a wealthy merchant from East Ardougne. By pretending to be poor, he is able to more easily manipulate the businesses and individuals he trades and deals with.
With the update of 9 September 2008, players can now talk to him and he will combine any 3-dose, 2-dose and 1-dose potions in your inventory into vials containing 4 doses. He will also combine barbarian potions and calquat kegs.
- If right clicked he can show you the current market price of popular herbs. The herbs listed are:
[edit] Trivia
- Bob's name is a portmanteau of the name Bob Barker, who was the host of "The Price is Right", and barter, another word for haggle.
- Bob can decant some potions that even players cannot, such as Guthix balance potions.
