Raw lobster



A Raw lobster is a type of fish which can be cooked to make a lobster. They are popular on free-to-play servers because they are easy to acquire, give quite a bit of Cooking experience, and many people buy them after they are cooked. They are also the most common way for players to train Cooking.

Due to an update that got rid of almost every macro in the game on December 10th, the prices of raw lobsters have begun to skyrocket, rising to over 250 coins.

Where to Get

 * Fishing is by far the most popular way to acquire raw lobsters. Players with level 40 or higher in the Fishing skill can fish for lobsters with a lobster pot.  Doing so yields 90 experience for each lobster fished.
 * Free-to-play players can fish for lobsters on Karamja or in the north eastern corner of the Wilderness.
 * Pay-to-play players also have the option of fishing lobster in Catherby, Relleka, Jatizso, and Piscatoris Fishing Colony. Players with level 68 or higher (65 or higher with a fishing potion) may also fish for lobsters in the Fishing Guild


 * Though no shop actively stocks fish, the following often have some that were sold by players.
 * Gerrant's Fishy Business
 * Karamja General Store
 * Fishing Guild Shop
 * Harry's Fishing Shop


 * Though it is an inefficient way to acquire a large number of raw lobsters, some monsters also drop them.
 * Dagganoth
 * Giant rock crab
 * Brine rat

Uses


The only uses for raw lobsters are to sell them, cook them, or feed them to a kitten on members' servers. Players with level 40 or higher in the Cooking skill can cook raw lobsters to turn it into a lobster and gain 120 Cooking experience. If the player is unsuccessful, they will create a burnt lobster instead, and gain no Cooking experience. The higher the player's Cooking level, the lower the chance of them burning them up until level 74 when the player stops burning them completely. Using a range or wearing cooking gauntlets are other ways of decreasing the odds of burning lobsters.
