Summer pie

From the RuneScape Wiki, the wiki for all things RuneScape

A Summer pie is a food item that can be made by combining a pie shell, strawberry, watermelon, and apple, in that order, then cooking the raw summer pie on a stove, on a range, or by using the Bake Pie spell. 95 cooking, which is the highest cooking level required of any food, is required both to make the raw summer pie and to bake the pie.

Per pie, summer pies heal 22 Hitpoints, boost Agility temporarily by 5 levels, and restore 20% energy. Each pie has two bites, so each bite restores 11 hitpoints and gives 10% run energy. After eating the summer pie, a pie dish will remain. The Agility boost from a summer pie does NOT stack with that of an Agility potion.

Summer pies are surprisingly common drop from PVP / Bounty Hunter worlds. They may be dropped even if the person killed was not risking 75,000 coins in wealth. Some pkers leave the pies on the ground, so picking the pies up can be profitable for players waiting around to raise their Target Likelihood and Earning Potential.

[edit] Uses

Summer pies are cheaper than sharks even though summer pies heal more. This is because not many people know about summer pies, summer pies are two bites, and a pie dish is left after eating. However, an interesting fact is that while sharks may be eaten 1 per 1.8 seconds, summer pies may be eaten 1 bite per 0.6 seconds, which means that continuously eating summer pies can restore 33 hitpoints for every 20 hitpoints restored in the same time continuously eating sharks.

Summer pies can be great food for training agility due to their high hitpoints restoration and agility level boost. For example, at the Brimhaven Agility Arena, there are dart obstacles that temporarily lower a player's Agility level by 2 if failed. Eating a slice of the pie will restore some of the player's Agility level without waiting for it to return to normal.

Summer pies may also be used to boost agility to use an agility shortcut that cannot be used at a player's base agility level. However, some shortcuts or obstacles do not allow you do use a boost to pass. For example, some areas such as the Ape Atoll Course may not be accessed if a player's base level does not meet the requirement; the game will state "Your agility boost won't help you here."

[edit] Making raw summer pies

Making raw summer pies out of the ingredients is profitable. It gives no experience but still requires 95 cooking.

  1. Use Pastry dough > Pie dish (becomes a Pie shell)
  2. Use strawberry > Pie shell (becomes part summer pie)
  3. Use watermelon > Part summer pie (becomes part summer pie)
  4. Use cooking apple > part summer pie (becomes raw summer pie)

Alternatively, the pie shells may be bought on the Grand Exchange to skip the first step. Approximately 700 raw summer pies may be made per hour if the pie shells are pre-bought.

[edit] Cooking summer pies using Bake Pie

Summer pies may be cooked on a range. They can be burnt even with 99 cooking; burnt pies do nothing but may be emptied to receive the pie dish back.

However, summer pies are rarely cooked without Bake Pie spell because the Bake Pie spell is faster than regular cooking, gives fast magic experience, and guarantees no burning. If the Bake Pie spell is not going to be used, it would be best for the player to sell the raw summer pies and cook sharks instead. Cooking a raw summer pie gives 260 cooking experience, and the bake pie spell gives an extra 60 magic experience per pie. Approximately 1800 pies may be cooked per hour using Bake Pie.

[edit] Making raw summer pies, then using Bake Pie

This is a combination of the above two activities, and creates a profit of 119 coins per pie. However, keep in mind that the above two activities are quite distinct (one is a no-experience money method and one is an expensive way to get fast experience), so it does not necessarily make sense to do both activities.
