Food

Food, in RuneScape, is what enables the player to regain hitpoints, although some foods may have other effects as well. Food can be obtained through the Cooking skill, as a drop from certain monsters, from some random events such as the Sandwich Lady random event, from other players, or from non-player characters.



There are several kinds of food, such as fish and meat, bread, cakes, pies, and even pizza. Some foods, such as pies, cakes and pizzas, have two or more "bites" or "slices". There are also food which grows from the ground such as potato, cabbage, and onion. There are also special foods such as spinach roll and baguette gained from random events. Lastly, there are holiday items food such as pumpkin and easter egg. It is strongly recommended that a player does not eat holiday items, as some are rare and extremely valuable.

For example, wine makes your hitpoints go up, though it has a downside. If you drink a jug of wine and then go to your skills tab, you will see that your attack level temporarily decreases. The negative effect eventually wears off, though, and the affected stat is back to normal within some time.
