Puffer Fish
Puffer Fish is a fish in Old School RuneScape that players can catch and use in various ways, particularly for cooking and combat. It is classified as a type of fish that can be caught in the waters of Gielinor.
Location: Puffer Fish can be caught in the murky water of the Wilderness or in the waters located south of Catherby. Fishing Equipment such as a fishing rod and bait are required to catch this fish.
Fishing Level: Players must have a Fishing level of 50 to catch Puffer Fish. The bait used to catch them includes fishing bait.
Experience: Catching a Puffer Fish rewards players with 60 Fishing experience per fish caught.
Cooking: Puffer Fish can be cooked on a fire or a range, requiring a Cooking level of 35. Upon cooking, it becomes a Cooked Puffer Fish, which provides health benefits when consumed, but should be noted that consuming it can inflict poison damage if not cooked properly.
Poison Effects: Eating an uncooked Puffer Fish will cause the player to be poisoned, dealing damage over time. The Cooked Puffer Fish, however, does not possess these side effects and can restore health points to the player.
Uses in Quests: Puffer Fish play a crucial role in some quests, where players may need to collect them as part of the quest requirements or to complete objectives related to poison.
Market Value: Puffer Fish can be traded on the Grand Exchange and have varying market prices depending on supply and demand, often influenced by the number of players who fish or cook them.
Tips for Players: It is advisable to always cook your Puffer Fish if you intend to use them for healing purposes to avoid the risk of being poisoned. Players should also monitor the market for best prices if they seek to profit from trading this fish.
