Pot of flour

⌊undefined⌋



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. Black Knights and white knights may drop pots of flour.

Formerly the general store icons on the map were represented as pots of flour until they were replaced with empty pots because Flour is usually not found in a general store.

Uses
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.

From a windmill
Flour is essentially 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.

Having obtained the grain and the pot, players should go to a windmill. Water mills cannot be used to grind flour. Players must go to the second floor, where there is a hopper and its controls. The player must then use the grain on the hopper, and then operate the hopper controls.

They must then go to the ground floor and use the empty pot on the flour bin to fill it with flour. Alternatively, they can left-click on the flour bin with an empty pot in their inventory to fill it with flour.

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 is probably the fastest way to obtain flour other than buying it. There is a bank fairly close by in Seers' Village to the south.

As this is next to a sink and a range, it is an excellent spot for turning swamp tar into swamp paste

Buying flour
Players can buy pots of flour in Wydin's Food Store in Port Sarim and Hudo's Grand Tree Groceries and, after completing at least part of Royal trouble, the Miscellanian Food Shop. They can also buy flour from other players if they do not have the time to grind their own. Flour is freely tradeable on the Grand Exchange - see the G.E.'s price of a pot of flour.

Making flour and time costs
Here is a short outline of how to make flour quickly:


 * Bring 27 gold to the Lumbridge grain field (to the north and on the west side of the river).
 * Pick 27 grain.
 * Go inside the mill and go to the top floor.
 * Use grain on the hopper, then pull the controls. Repeat for all grain.
 * Go to Beefy Bill in the cow field to the north and buy 27 pots.
 * Go to the ground floor of the mill and repeatedly click the flour bin until you fill all your pots.
 * Go back to Beefy Bill and bank your flour.

For more flour, bring more money for pots. This takes 27 gp and 448 seconds for 27 pots of flour, for 1 gp and 18.7 seconds per pot. If one sells the pots of flour at 51 gp each, this will net 2.67 gp per second.

Trivia

 * Before 8 May 2007, General Stores used to have a pot of flour icon, but was changed to a pot.
