Tuna





Tuna is a food item that can be obtained by fishing. It is fairly popular among free players, as it can heal 10 hitpoints a piece. Since the Karamja fishing spot is not very far from a lesser demon area where people train, it can be a useful food.

Members can use it in baked potatoes with sweetcorn to make Tuna and corn, which heals a bit more than regular tunas. It requires 35 fishing to catch, yielding 80 experience, and 30 cooking to cook, yielding 110 experience.

Many players find them annoying when fishing for swordfish, because they are caught along with tuna. So, in free player worlds, people may drop the tuna so they have more room for swordfish. However, they are probably one of the best ways to achieve 99 cooking as they are quite easy to get from players who are fishing swordfish, and provide decent experience. Factoring in the time/cost ratio, it is probably the most cost effective and fast way to achieve 99 cooking in free-to-play.

Tuna is still a powerful and cheap healing tool though, and can be very useful compared to weaker alternatives. Players will rarely burn tuna beginning at level 60 and will stop burning tuna at level 65 cooking.

Players utilizing Barbarian Fishing can catch tuna exclusively (starting at level 55) until they reach level 70 Fishing. Once level 70 is attained, they will begin catching swordfish as well. This can be useful for those who wish to make tuna potatoes.

Trivia

 * When the Fishing skill was first released, tuna gave no EXP. This was fixed the next day.
