Cornucopia

A Cornucopia is used to store food; it can store a maximum of 1000 life points worth of food:
 * To store food, a player must right-click his/her food and choose the 'Use' option in conjunction with the cornucopia. (Using the cornucopia on food, however, results in nothing interesting happening.)
 * To see how many life points of healing are stored in the cornucopia, a player must right click the item and choose the 'Food-count' option.
 * To use the cornucopia to heal, the player must click on it (or right click on it and choose the 'Heal' option).

One click on the cornucopia will replenish the player's health equivalent to the healing amount of food stored in the item. The cornucopia always completely empties when used to heal, even if the player is only 1 life point away from full health. It cannot be used if the player is already at full health. Players aren't allowed to have more than one cornucopia at a time.

Once food is put in a cornucopia, it is impossible to take the food out again. Only solid food can be placed in a cornucopia; drinks, such as beer, cannot be placed in it. The cornucopia only stores the primary, healing property of food. Secondary properties of food are lost. For example, Jangerberries normally heal 20 life points and recover 10 prayer points but when placed in a cornucopia, the prayer recovery effect is lost; the player gains only the healing effect.

Most foods that can heal a variable amount when eaten always heal the maximum amount when placed in a cornucopia. For example, a Cave eel normally heals 70-110 life points. When placed in a cornucopia, it heals 110 life points. A Kebab, however, when placed in a cornucopia heals 10% of the player's total life points (rounded down), which is less than the maximum a kebab can heal.

Cornucopias were released during the first Thanksgiving Event in 2008.

In the event, a player could receive a cornucopia by finding ten disguised Turkeys or by killing wandering Turkeys until one was randomly dropped. Once the event was over, Terrorbirds, Seagulls, Chickens, Chompies, Jubblies, and Oomlie birds can drop cornucopias, though they are very rare drops. The cornucopia will appear in a player's inventory when dropped, it will not be dropped onto the ground. Also after the event, a cornucopia can be obtained by pick-pocketing farmers.

If lost, another cornucopia can be acquired from Diango in Draynor village, even if it were originally obtained as a drop or from pickpocketing.

Purple sweets can be placed in a cornucopia. Purple sweets are a special type of food because they stack in one inventory slot, heal 10-30 life points per sweet, and recover run energy. They are placed in the cornucopia at their maximum healing ability (30 life points per sweet) and their secondary property is lost. When attempting to place them in a cornucopia, the sweets are placed into the cornucopia one at a time, until up to four sweets are placed into the cornucopia for a total of 120 life points of healing. Five sweets cannot be placed into the cornucopia at one time because their 150 life points of healing exceeds the 140 life point capacity of the cornucopia. The ability of the cornucopia to store purple sweets can be very useful when completing the Tzhaar Fight Caves on a pure, as on accounts with low defence, it can often be impractical to eat the sweets one at a time for healing, especially when under attack.

If a player had filled a cornucopia before the constitution update, the amount of life points healed remained the same. For example, what would have healed 14 life points before the update (equal to 140 now) still contained 14 life points after it, and not the 140 equivalent. After the Evolution of Combat, Cornucopias now heal 1000 lp worth of food at a time, making them the highest-healing single-bite food in F2P.

If a Ghast attacks a player and targets a cornucopia with food, the entire cornucopia will become rotten food, not just the contents, and the player will have to retrieve a new one from Diango.

Trivia

 * The name comes from the Latin phrase cornu copia, which means "horn of plenty".
 * Expensive spices don't work on the cornucopia. If they did, the cornucopia would be able to heal up to 1050 lifepoints, and the most a F2P player would be able to heal by eating a single bite of food would by 1050 LP.
