'''Food''', in ''RuneScape'', is what enables the player to regain [[life points]], although some foods may have other effects as well. Food can be obtained through the [[Cooking]] skill, as a drop from certain [[monster]]s, from some [[random events]] such as the [[Sandwich Lady]] random event, from other players, or from [[non-player character]]s.

There are several kinds of food, such as [[fish]] and [[meat]], [[bread]], [[cake]]s, [[pie]]s, and even [[pizza]]. Some foods, such as pies, cakes and pizzas, have two or more "bites" or "slices", this is a downside that can easily be remedied by using the food on a [[Cornucopia]] in battle (but it doesn't interrupt your attacks) then using it to heal your life points. There are also foods which grow from the ground such as [[potato]]es, [[cabbage]]s, and [[onion]]s; those items can be put into [[basket]]s and [[sack]]s. 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 all are rare and extremely valuable.
  +
  +
Some foods have effect on skills other than life points. For example, wine makes your [[life points]] go up, though it has a downside. If a player drinks a [[jug of wine]] and then goes to the skills tab, it can be seen that the player's attack level temporarily decreases, while their strength level increases. The negative effects eventually wear off, though, and the affected stats go back to normal in time. Most such effects do not stack.

==Notes==
  +
Here are factors to consider when choosing the right food:
  +
*Heal per bite: Players should try to find food that heals more in one bite than the max hit of dangerous monsters they train on. This should not pose a problem for players who train on much weaker monsters than they are.
  +
*Heal costs: Sharks are {{Exchange:Shark|View=price}} coins each and heal 200 life points. Monkfish heal 160 life points and cost {{Exchange:Monkfish|View=price}} [[coins]], making them more cost effective, but the total amount of heal is less.
  +
*Space: Some items require space, like baskets of strawberries to take out strawberries. Monsters drop items that requires space, so consider a monster's drops and frequency of drops when bringing food.
  +
*Time to eat: Try to avoid eating during combat if it is not deadly. Eating in combat is wasteful if you get damaged while eating. Some areas have aggressive monsters that hit hard and foods that take multiple bites, like cake, cause problems.
  +
  +
==Trivia==
  +

Revision as of 04:08, 3 October 2010

Food, in RuneScape, is what enables the player to regain life points, 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", this is a downside that can easily be remedied by using the food on a Cornucopia in battle (but it doesn't interrupt your attacks) then using it to heal your life points. There are also foods which grow from the ground such as potatoes, cabbages, and onions; those items can be put into baskets and sacks. 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 all are rare and extremely valuable.

Some foods have effect on skills other than life points. For example, wine makes your life points go up, though it has a downside. If a player drinks a jug of wine and then goes to the skills tab, it can be seen that the player's attack level temporarily decreases, while their strength level increases. The negative effects eventually wear off, though, and the affected stats go back to normal in time. Most such effects do not stack.

Here are some common foods. A complete list of cooked foods can be found in the Cooking skill page.
