Want to pay fewer visits to Death's office? Pack one of these ten foods on your next adventure to avoid the man with the scythe.
In Runescape, battle-worn travelers regain their strength by eating foods. From the humble shrimps of Lumbridge to the delectable kebabs of Al-Kharid, Gielinor’s cuisine heals any ailment. But not all foods heal as efficiently. Need the best food for a budget? The most life points per serving? This list will help you pack for your next adventure like a pro.
10. Shark
Sharks rise to the top of the food chain in popularity in Gielinor. Use them if you want to balance low cost and effective healing.
Stats and Perks:
Heals 2,000 life points at 80 Constitution
GE Price: ~941 coins
Make-It-Yourself: 76 Fishing to catch, 80 Cooking to prepare
9. Swordfish
If you’re free-to-play or a lower level, swordfish are the fish for you. These protein-dense purple fish pack 1,400 life points per serving—if you don’t choke on their weapon-noses.
Stats and Perks:
Heals 1,400 life points at 56 Constitution
GE Price: ~204 coins
Make-It-Yourself: 50 Fishing to catch, 45 Cooking to prepare
8. Lobster
These crustaceans may not look like much, but they’re the second-best fish available in free-to-play. The best part? You can easily obtain lobsters, making them Ironman-friendly.
Stats and Perks:
Heals 1,200 life points at 48 Constitution
GE Price: ~135 coins
Make-It-Yourself: 40 Fishing to catch, 40 Cooking to prepare
7. Blue Blubber Jellyfish
These jellies carry so much blubber that eating one requires 3 bites. You can find them at the Deep Sea Fishing Hub. Want something cheaper? The Blue Blubber’s younger brother, the Green Blubber Jellyfish, heals less but costs less, too.
Stats and Perks:
Heals 2250 life points in 3 servings at 30 Constitution
No adrenaline drop when eaten
GE Price: ~1,768 coins
Make-It-Yourself: 91 Fishing to catch, 95 Cooking to prepare
6. Cavefish
Born with green scales, Cavefish turn pink when cooked. Each fish also boosts one of your combat skills: Attack, Strength, Defence, Ranged, or Magic.
Stats and Perks:
Heals 2,200 life points at 88 Constitution
GE Price: ~1,282 coins
2-point boost to a random combat skill
Make-It-Yourself: 85 Fishing to catch, 88 Cooking to prepare
5. Rocktail
Native to the Living Rock Caverns, these scary-looking fish heal better than they taste. If you’re lucky, they’ll also boost your maximum life points by 10%.
Stats and Perks:
Heals 2,300 life points at level 92 Constitution
Possible 10% boost to life points
GE Price: ~1,973 coins
Make-It-Yourself: 90 Fishing to catch, 93 Cooking to Prepare
4. Summer Pie
You can eat one slice of summer pie faster than you can eat a shark (Jagex logic), making pies a fast life-point boost. Pesky shortcuts are a cinch thanks to the pie’s agility boost.
Stats and Perks:
Heals 2,374 life points in 2 servings at 95 Constitution
Temporary 5-level agility boost
Restores 40% run energy
GE Price: ~744 coins
Make-It-Yourself: 95 Cooking to prepare. Combine a pie dish, pastry dough, a strawberry, a watermelon, and a cooking apple, then cook on a range.
3. Saradomin Brew
A potion to please the gods—well, at least Saradomin. Each dose of this potion increases your maximum life points by 1,000. Your Defence stat also boosts. One caution, though: bring some restore potions along too, because it also drains your Magic, Ranged, Strength, and Attack statistics.
Stats and Perks:
Boosts life points 1,000 points beyond maximum
Defence Stat boost of 1-4 levels
No adrenaline drop when consumed
GE Price: 7,110 coins
Make-It-Yourself: 81 Herblore. Combine a vial of water with a clean toadflax and a crushed nest. You can upgrade it to a Super Saradomin brew with 93 Herblore and a wine of Saradomin.
2. Fury Shark
Fury Sharks reward the patient: eat them outside of combat to restore a whopping 2,800 life points! Unfortunately, you can only get them as drops from lava strykewyrms or WildyWyrms. Die within 60 seconds of eating one, and you’ll get to keep one extra item without penalty.
Stats and Perks:
Heals 2,475 life points eaten during combat and 2,800 outside of combat at 99 Constitution
Protects one extra item on death
GE Price: Not tradeable
1. Great Gunkan
Sushi lovers, rejoice! This shark meat delicacy instantly heals 1,500 life points, then heals 150 points every 1.2 seconds for a total of 2,850 points of healing. Pro tip: you can’t eat another gunkan until the first one’s effects wear off, so bring some rocktails along for emergency healing.
Stats and Perks:
Instantly heals 1,500 life points, then increments of 150 every 1.2 seconds
GE Price: 2,045
Make-It-Yourself: with 91 Cooking, combine raw great white shark and kelp. You also need the sushi perk from the Aquarium in your player-owned house.
