Mint cake

Mint cake is a food item that, when eaten, will restore a player's run energy to 100%. Mint cakes restore more energy per consumption than any other item using only one click. Super energy potions (4) can restore up to 160% of a player's run energy at 4 clicks, however, making the mint cake more instantaneous.

A mint cake can be obtained as a possible reward from the Gnome Restaurant activity and can also be obtained by exchanging Tangled toads' legs with Longramble during or after The Path of Glouphrie quest. This exchange can only be made once.

Before 1 February 2010, mint cakes were very rare and valuable as it was rare to obtain them from the Gnome Restaurant activity. They were perceived as valuable items, used in junk trades to buy items for a price much higher than that of the Grand Exchange's. However, on 1 February 2010, the chance of getting a mint cake reward from the Gnome Restaurant activity was increased considerably. Furthermore, they are now received in amounts ranging from 8-10 rather than individually.

When deciding which to take (out of a potion, or the mint cake), the mint cake seems to be a better option in general, because of its more instantaneous result and its cheaper price. But do not be compelled to get rid of your super energy potions (4) if you already have some; it is only when deciding which to buy when you should consider the mint cake as a better option.
