TruthScape.com - Secondary Herblore Ingredients

Secondary ingredients are resources that are added to unfinished potions to complete them. There are currently about two dozen different secondary ingredients, which are sometimes simply called seconds for short. Unlike herbs, which come mainly from monster drops and Farming, seconds have a variety of sources, depending on their type: monster drops, Farming, output from other skills, spawns and even minigames.

There are currently ten secondary ingredients that must be processed from the form in which they are originally found before they can be used in potions. Of these, eight are processed by grinding them, which is accomplished by using the ingredient with a pestle and mortar.
