Overview of Burnt Fox Meat
Burnt fox meat is an item in Old School RuneScape (OSRS) that players often encounter during their adventures in Gielinor. This item is produced when players attempt to cook raw fox meat but fail in the process, resulting in a burnt version of the meat. While it may not be the most desirable food item, burnt fox meat serves as a notable example of the cooking mechanics in the game.
How to Obtain Burnt Fox Meat
Players can obtain burnt fox meat by following these steps:
- First, players must hunt foxes, which can be found in various locations, including:
- Rellekka
- The Woodland area near the Tree Gnome Stronghold
- The outskirts of Taverley
- After successfully hunting a fox, players will receive raw fox meat.
- Next, the raw fox meat can be cooked using a fire or a range. However, if the player’s Cooking level is too low or if they fail the cooking attempt, the outcome will be burnt fox meat.
Characteristics of Burnt Fox Meat
Burnt fox meat possesses several characteristics that differentiate it from its non-burnt counterpart:
| Attribute | Burnt Fox Meat | Raw Fox Meat |
|---|---|---|
| Healing | 0 Hitpoints | 3 Hitpoints |
| Cooking Level Required | N/A | 18 |
| Value | 1 GP | 20 GP |
As shown in the table, burnt fox meat offers no healing benefits and is significantly less valuable than raw fox meat.
Uses of Burnt Fox Meat
Though not particularly useful for healing, burnt fox meat can serve a few purposes:
- Training Cooking: Players can use burnt fox meat as a way to train their Cooking skill by intentionally cooking the meat to observe the outcome.
- Composting: In farming, players can add burnt fox meat to compost bins to create compost, which is beneficial for farming crops.
- Disposal: Players can simply drop burnt fox meat as a way to clear inventory space, as it takes up a slot.
Cooking Mechanics in OSRS
The process of cooking in OSRS is rooted in skill levels and chance. Here’s how cooking mechanics work:
- Players must have a certain Cooking level to cook different types of food.
- The success rate of cooking increases with a higher Cooking level.
- Burnt items are a common occurrence, especially with lower Cooking levels.
For burnt fox meat, the chance of burning the meat diminishes as players reach higher Cooking levels, making it a less common occurrence at higher skill levels.
Comparison with Other Burnt Items
Burnt fox meat can be compared to other burnt items in OSRS. Here are a few:
| Item | Healing | Cooking Level Required |
|---|---|---|
| Burnt Chicken | 0 Hitpoints | 1 |
| Burnt Fish | 0 Hitpoints | 1 |
| Burnt Lobster | 0 Hitpoints | 40 |
Like burnt fox meat, all these items do not provide healing benefits and serve primarily as examples of cooking failures in the game.
Strategies to Reduce Burning Rate
Players looking to minimize the chances of obtaining burnt fox meat can employ these strategies:
- Increase Cooking Level: Focus on raising your Cooking level by cooking various foods that are easier to cook and less likely to burn.
- Use Cooking Gauntlets: Wearing Cooking Gauntlets reduces the chance of burning food when cooking.
- Utilize a Range: Cooking on a range instead of a fire can significantly reduce the burning rate.
Where to Sell Burnt Fox Meat
While burnt fox meat has limited uses, players can still sell it to certain NPCs or drop it for other players. Some potential places include:
- General Stores: Most general stores will buy burnt fox meat for a small price.
- Fellow Players: Occasionally, players might buy burnt items for fun or for specific projects.
