Water


 * This article is about liquid water. For the article on the rune used to cast spells, see water rune.

Water can be found in many locations, in the forms of taps, sinks, water barrels, fountains and wells. In Runescape, players cannot obtain water from lakes, rivers, etc.

Water is a very versatile fluid; it can be put into buckets, vials, waterskins, bowls, and jugs. It is used in a number of skills, including cooking, crafting, construction and herblore.

Water is also essential to surviving in the Kharidian Desert, though players cannot drink water from anything but a waterskin.

Note also that for almost everything that requires water to be used (e.g. to be added to clay to make soft clay, to be added to flour to make pastry dough, etc.), the player must use the water in a vessel. For example, using clay on a fountain will not make soft clay. The player must use a jug (for example) on the fountain, then use the jug of water with the clay.

Oddly enough, in a letter to Saradomin, he said that the water is highly toxic and cannot be drunk, yet it is drunk in many situations without causing death or any side-effects at all.
