Raw potato

Detailed

Typical

Release

11 June 2001 (Update)

Raw potatoes can be picked from fields across RuneScape. Players with level 1 Farming can grow them from seeds. Three potato seeds are needed per allotment. They take 40 minutes to grow, grant 8 experience for planting and 9 experience for harvesting. Up to 10 raw potatoes can be stored in a sack making a sack of potatoes.

There is a potato field northeast of the chicken farm (on the eastern side of the River Lum) from which potatoes may be picked, occasionally yielding a potato seed instead.

Additionally, players with 43 Construction may build a teak larder in their kitchen which will provide a never-ending supply of raw potatoes.

The farming shops will pay players only a starting payment of 4 coins per potato when none are in inventory, with the price paid gradually decreasing as the store's inventory increases.

Raw potatoes are not edible. However, players can cook them, gaining 15 Cooking experience per potato, and members can then add various toppings on a buttered baked potato to make it heal much more. Potatoes can only be cooked successfully on a range or in a clay oven. Players can also use the raw potato as an ingredient in stew.

Locations

A large potato/wheat field is east of the Miscellanian castle. It contains 65 potatoes.
A moderate-sized potato field is north of the large cow enclosure near the Lumbridge/Al Kharid border. It contains 85 potatoes.
A few potato plants are in the Feldip Hills in the South East near the water.

Trivia

Raw potatoes cannot be eaten anymore after the Troll Warzone update. They were renamed from simply "potato" after the update.
- Before the update, if a player attempted to cook a potato on a fire or at the sulphur pit, the potatoes would always burn regardless of Cooking level, resulting in a burnt potato. Attempting to cook a potato with these methods now gives the message "You can't cook that in a fire."
- However, it can still be fed to the starving adventurers in the Temple Trekking minigame.

-==Money Making Guide==
+==Store locations==
+{{Store locations list|Raw potato}}
-Making money off of potatoes is something anyone can do, regardless of your skill experience or combat level.
+==Disassembly==
-Starting off [[Draynor Village]], follow the road north until you get to a crossroads (the one with the lone [[Highwayman]]). Here you take the road east, towards [[Lumbridge]]. After some time you will encounter a potato field. Open the gate and pick 28 potatoes, then return it to the Draynor Village [[Bank]].
+{{Disassembly
+|level = 1
-An empty inventory will allow you to carry 28 potatoes, and each potato is worth {{#expr:{{GEPrice|Potato}}}} coins. When you get the hang of it, one trip back and forth between the potato field takes slightly less than 150 seconds, or 2 and a half minutes; assuming a little bit of slacking, let's say it takes exactly 150 seconds.

-This will give us a gold rate of about: {{#expr:{{GEPrice|Potato}}*28*24}} coins/hour.
+}}
-Members, on the other hand, can do a bit better. In under 15 minutes, you can get 190 potatoes if you go to [[Ardougne]].
-Empty your inventory except for 18 empty [[sack]]s (sacks hold 10 potatoes each). Run north out of Ardougne's north bank and then immediately east and then north again. You will soon come to a potato field across from the farming shop.
-Open the gate and begin picking potatoes. Each time your inventory fills up (10 potatoes), just click on a sack and keep picking. Continue until all 18 sacks are filled and your ten empty slots are filled as well. This will be 190 potatoes in all.
-Run back to the bank and deposit all of the potatoes and 15 of the sacks (leaving 3 in your inventory). Right-click each sack and click Empty Sack. The third sack will be only partially emptied. Deposit all potatoes and the two empty sacks and get two more full sacks (giving you 2.5 sacks of potatoes again). Empty them all and start over.
-Total time (including dropping the [[potato seed]]s you'll get from time to time) will be approximately 14.5 minutes, or 870 seconds.
-This will give us a gold rate of about: {{#expr:{{GEPrice|Potato}}*190*4.1}} coins/hour
-The positive of this money making strategy is that it can be done by '''ANYONE''', from a level 3 rookie with no experience whatsoever to a high-level veteran. However, there is no skill experience given from picking potatoes. Regardless, players will find that they will obtain a lot of cash provided the potatoes are sold on the fixed price.
-Another efficient method is to pick 28 potatoes at the Lumbridge potato field, run west to the nearby hops patch, and use a potato on the [[tool leprechaun]]. Since potatoes are considered crops from farming, the leprechaun will note them. Assuming you've already noted some, picking 27 potatoes, running to the leprechaun and having them noted takes approximately 100 seconds. This includes dropping potato seeds.
-Using this method, you can note about 972 potatoes in an hour. This will give us a gold rate of about: {{#expr:{{GEPrice|Potato}}*972}} coins/hour.
-The Farm North-East of Lumbridge can be used very efficiently by members who have started the [[Recipe for Disaster]] quest. Simply take 18 empty sacks and fill them with potatoes, then run to the [[Culinaromancer's Chest]] and deposit them. If you want to make [[Potato with butter|potatoes with butter]], bake them on the [[Cook (Lumbridge)|Cook's]] range. Then, buy all the [[butter]], [[cream]], and [[milk]] you can from the chest. Go to a farm near Lumbridge and churn the cream and milk into butter. Once you have as much butter as potatoes, add the butter. Potatoes with butter sell for {{GEP|Potato with butter}} coins each on the Grand Exchange.
