A Pot of flour is an item used mainly in the Cooking skill. It is one of the items that players can make without the need to train Cooking beforehand. It is used as an ingredient to make bread, pies, cakes, pizzas, and kebabs. These foods are some of the most healing foods in the RuneScape world, apart from high-level fish. Flour is also used to make swamp paste, by mixing it with swamp tar and then cooking it. Flour is needed in some quests, such as Prince Ali Rescue, where it is used to make a skin cream. It is also used in the Summoning skill when used to craft Ravenous locust pouches.

[edit] Obtaining
[edit] From player-owned house
A kitchen has a spot for a larder, and both oak larders (requires 33 Construction to build) and teak larders (requires 43 Construction) can provide unlimited pots of flour (among other ingredients) for free. You don't need to have an empty pot in your inventory, which makes this the fastest method of acquiring flour other than buying in bulk from players, provided you use teleports or a servant in order to bank, which would allow you to keep banking flour indefinitely. The biggest downside of this method is its tediousness, as you can only take one pot of flour at a time and it takes a little while as the game processes the commands. This also nullifies the advantage of the more expensive servants' carrying capacity, as they would return in less time than it takes for you to get all the pots they can carry.
It's also possible to take advantage of a kitchen sink to make dough on the spot. Have 9 buckets in your inventory and fill them with water, take 9 pots of flour and make the dough you want, and have the servant bank them (the maid is likely the best choice considering her carrying capacity and time to return from bank).
[edit] From a windmill
Flour is ground-up grain. The only items players need are grain and an empty pot to put the flour into. Players can pick grain from a field (where it grows as wheat), and they can often find this near a windmill. One of the best spots for members is the field North of Ardougne, which is very close to a bank and a mill. For non-members, the best spot to collect grain is the large wheat field North of Draynor Village, which is close to Draynor Bank.
After collecting grain, players must then take it, along with an equal amount of empty pots, to a Windmill. On the second floor, there is a hopper and some mill controls. The grain must be used on the hopper, then the mill controls operated. This will fill the flour bin on the ground floor with flour. The flour bin can hold up to 30 milled grains, plus 1 in the hopper. Clicking on the bin will empty some flour into one of the pots in the player's inventory.
[edit] From the Sinclair Mansion
After starting the quest Murder Mystery, members can access an unlimited barrel of flour in the kitchen of the Sinclair Mansion just north of Seers' Village. Simply use an empty pot with the barrel to fill it with flour. This allows you to quickly fill the pots in your inventory, but there's the tradeoff of having to walk at least one way of the trip to a bank. There is one fairly close by in Seers' Village to the south, or players can use the nearby Fairy ring to reach a bank in Zanaris. As this is next to a sink and a range, it is an excellent spot for turning swamp tar into swamp paste
[edit] Buying flour
Flour is freely tradeable on the Grand Exchange and is currently 114 coins, or players can buy them from any of these stores:
| Shop | Location | Stock | Price | Nearest bank |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Grand Tree Groceries | Tree Gnome Stronghold | 10 | 2 gp | Tree Gnome Stronghold |
| Miscellanian Food Shop | Miscellania | 5 | 14 gp | Miscellania (requires starting Royal Trouble) |
| Wydin's Food Store | Port Sarim | 500 | 14 gp | Draynor Village, Rimmington Customs Office deposit box (requires starting Rocking Out) |
| General stores | Port Khazard | 10 | 14 gp | Port Khazard deposit boxes |
| Culinaromancer's Chest (requires starting Recipe for Disaster) | Lumbridge Castle basement | Up to 100 | 14 gp | Culinaromancer's Chest |
[edit] Trivia
- Before 8 May 2007, General Stores used to have a pot of flour icon, but was changed to a pot, because General Stores almost never had flour in stock.
- Black Knights used to drop plain flour, shown as a pile of flour on the ground. This could only be picked up if you had an empty pot in your inventory.
