Bandages (Castle Wars)

Bandages are an item used to heal combatants in the Castle Wars minigame. They can be found on the table in the start room. Right-clicking the table gives an option to take many bandages. Bandages restore 10% of a player's life points (rounded down) and restore 30% of a player's run energy.

By wearing a castlewars bracelet the amount healed will be increased by 50%. You can use bandages with other players to heal them.

After the game has ended, all bandages in a player's inventory will disappear.

Bandages are also used in Fist of Guthix and Soul Wars minigames.

Trivia

 * With the update on 27 May 2010, the aid symbol on the bandages changed from red to green. This is because the red cross symbol is a registered trademark of the International Committee of the Red Cross, and it is illegal to use it for any other purpose in a country that signed the First Geneva Convention. The Red Cross has been known to actively discourage misuse of the symbol in other computer games.
 * Around 2007, bandages were smuggled from Castle Wars and used in the Duel arena when food and drinks were disabled. They allowed the abuser to heal because the bandages were not counted as prohibited consumables and gave them an advantage. Since then, the smuggle has been patched.
