Cider (barrel)
Cider (barrel) is a consumable item in Old School RuneScape (OSRS) that players can create by brewing. To do this, players must have a minimum level of 1 in the Cooking skill and a minimum of level 1 in the Brewing skill. Cider barrels are used to make cider, a drink that players can consume to restore a small amount of energy while providing a minor boost to their Prayer and Attack skills.
To create a Cider barrel, players first need to gather ingredients. The main components required for brewing cider include:
- Apples: These can be obtained by picking them from apple trees located in different areas, such as the Tree Gnome Stronghold and near the Lumbridge Castle.
- Water: Players can obtain water by using a bucket on a water source or filling a jug with water from any nearby fountain.
- Yeast: This item can be purchased from various shops, such as the Thessalia’s Fine Clothes store in Varrock.
Players combine these ingredients at a fermentation barrel, which can be found in many locations around Gielinor, notably in breweries like the Draugen’s Brewery. After combining the items, players must wait for a certain amount of time for the fermentation process to occur before they can collect their finished product, cider.
Consumed cider has several benefits for players engaged in various activities such as combat, skilling, and general exploration:
- Energy Restore: Cider restores a small amount of run energy, making it useful for players traveling long distances or engaging in activities that require constant movement.
- Skill Boosts: Drinking cider provides a minor increase to the Prayer and Attack skills for a short duration, enhancing a player’s performance in combat situations.
The Cider barrel can be stored in a player’s house if they have a Dungeon, while the finished product can be stored or consumed directly from the barrel. Cider barrels can also be crafted into higher-tier drinks or used in various other recipes that enhance their effectiveness.
Finally, it is important to note that players should always pay attention to their equipment and inventory space when working with cider barrels and brewing skills, as these actions require an adequate number of slots and the right level of skills for maximum efficiency.
