Food is important for a variety of different reasons in osrs, so knowing the best foods to get is critical. Whether you be buying of the Grand Exchange or playing as an ironman and catching and cooking it yourself. This article will explore the highest healing foods in OSRS.
What are the Best Foods in OSRS?
- Saradomin Brew
- Anglerfish
- Dark Crab
- Tuna Potato
- Manta Ray
- Summer Pies
- Sea Turtle
- Shark
- Karambwan
- Monkfish
1. Saradomin Brew
The Saradomin Brew is undoubtedly the best source of hit point restoration. Each sip will restore up to 16 HP, with 4 sips in each potion this is a potential healing of 64 HP per item. Additionally, sipping a brew dose will not add a delay to your next attack like traditional food types.
However, there is a draw back of the brew reducing your combat stats with each sip. Therefore, super restore potions must be used in conjunction, to replenish offensive stats. Creating a saradomin brew requires 81 herblore, a Toadflax potion (unf) and a crushed nest.
2. Anglerfish
The Anglerfish is the best ‘hard’ food currently available in OSRS. It has the ability to heal for 22 hit points if your hit points is above level 92. Additionally, the food gives the ability to heal above your maximum hit points. For example, a player with 99 hp can eat an Angler to get to 121 hit points.
The Anglerfish can be caught in port piscarilius with level 82 fishing. They can then be cooked with a cooking level of 84. With the cooking gauntlets and use of the hosidius kitchen, anglerfish will stop being burnt at level 93.
3. Dark Crab
The Dark Crab is another great food option, they require 85 fishing to be caught and their fishing spots are located in the Wilderness. They restore 22 hit points, similar to the Anglerfish, but, don’t posses the ability to heal above max hp, like the anglers do.
4. Tuna Potato
Another item that will restore 22 hit points, the tuna potato can be made by using a tuna and corn on a potato with butter with 68 cooking. These are normally one of the cheaper of the 22 hp healing foods, making them an affordable option.
5. Manta Ray
The Manta Ray will also provide a 22 hit point restoration. These can be caught during the Fishing Trawler minigame, Drift Net fishing and Tempoross. In addition to receiving them as a drop from various high level pvm situations such as Zulrah, Vorkath and ToA.
6. Summer Pies
The summer pie heals 11 hit points per health, but each one contains two bites, meaning you get an effective 22 hitpoints per item. The summer pie will also boost your agility level by 5 and restore 10% of your run energy, which can be useful in certain situations. The pineapple pizza and wild pie have the same amount of HP restore but no boost to agility.
7. Sea Turtle
Similar to the Manta Ray, players can obtain sea turtles via the Fishing Trawler, Drift Net fishing and Tempoross. Each turtle will heal up to 21 HP and they require level 79 fishing to catch and 82 cooking to cook.
Players can also receive this food as a reward for wilderness slayer and konar slayer tasks. By using larran’s and brimstone keys to claim rewards.
8. Shark
Sharks are some of the most popular food types, due to their abundance. They can be caught with a harpoon at level 76 fishing and cooked at level 80 cooking.
There is also another way to catch them, inside the fishing guild there is a fishing platform. Here players can catch minnows and exchange them for noted raw sharks, providing you have the anglers outfit and level requirement for the platform.Shark
9. Karambwan
Catching Karambwan requires completion of the Tai Bwo Wannai Trio quest and 65 fishing. You will need 30 cooking to cook them and they actually provide the fastest cooking experience method in the game.
When cooked they will heal the player for 18 hit points and can be eaten in the same tick as another piece of food. This allows combo eating to take place, for example, players can eat a shark and karambwan in the same tick, totalling a huge 38 hit points restored.
10. Monkfish
In tenth place on our list is the monkfish, it heals a total of 16 hit points. These fish are far more affordable and often used for low to mid tier pvm such as slayer training. Where the need for high healing food is less prominant and players can opt for the more affordable monkfish.
You’ll need 62 fishing to catch monkfish and completion of the Swan Song quest to access Piscatoris where they can be caught. Additionally, a cooking level of 62 is necessary to cook this fish.
