Food

From the RuneScape Wiki, the wiki for all things RuneScape

Food, in RuneScape, is what enables the player to regain hitpoints, although some foods may have other effects as well. Food can be obtained through the Cooking skill, as a drop from certain monsters, from some random events such as the Sandwich Lady random event, from other players, or from non-player characters.

There are several kinds of food, such as fish and meat, bread, cakes, pies, and even pizza. Some foods, such as pies, cakes and pizzas, have two or more "bites" or "slices". There are also food which grows from the ground such as potato, cabbage, and onion. There are also special foods such as spinach roll and baguette gained from random events. Lastly, there are holiday items food such as pumpkin and easter egg . It is strongly recommended that a player does not eat holiday items, as they are rare and extremely valuable.

[edit] Notes

When players are selecting the right food for the next venture, two things should be thought about.

  • Effectiveness: Sure, tuna is cheap, but it only heals 10 hitpoints, making it not the most effective for the outgoing adventurer. Whereas, Swordfish heal a solid 14 hitpoints, a major difference. Also, if players know exactly what they're going to be facing, they should try to find food that heals for more than their max hit in one bite. E.g., a TzHaar-Ket will generally hit 15 at the utmost maximum. Therefore, shark and monkfish are effective, swordfish are passable, and lobsters are ineffective if not dangerous.
  • Cost: How costly is the food going to be? Sharks are a whopping 900-1000 coins. Whereas the almost equally effective monkfish go for only 300-400 coins. Players should weigh the cost of food against the possible profit of the venture to find out if it's worth setting out. Peaches are by far the cheapest food in the game. 8 hp each x 27inventory spaces = 216 hp for a full inventory. The spell Bones to Peaches uses 2 Nature runes, 270 each so: 270 x 2 = 540 coins per spell. 540(total price in coins)/216(hp total yielded) = 2.5 coins per 1 hp. This is by far the cheapest food!(though the bones would cost 90 coins each if you buy them)
