How to Make a Redberry Pie in OSRS: A Step-by-Step Guide

Are you ready to whip up a delicious redberry pie in Old School RuneScape (OSRS)? Whether you’re completing a quest like The Knight’s Sword or just want to explore the game’s cooking mechanics, this guide will walk you through everything you need to know. Redberry pie is an iconic food item in OSRS, requiring only level 10 Cooking to make, and it’s a great way to heal 10 Hitpoints (5 per bite) while leaving you with a reusable pie dish. In this blog post, we’ll cover the ingredients, step-by-step instructions, tips to avoid burning your pie, and even where to find pre-made pies if cooking isn’t your style. Let’s get started!

Before you can bake a redberry pie in OSRS, you’ll need to gather a few key items. Luckily, these are easy to find across Gielinor, making this recipe accessible even for low-level players. Here’s what you’ll need and where to grab it.

What You’ll Need

Redberries: The star of the show! These bright red fruits give the pie its flavor.
Pastry Dough: Made from a pot of flour and water, this forms the pie’s base.
Pie Dish: A container to hold your pie while it bakes.
A Range: You’ll need a cooking range to bake the pie (fires won’t work).

Where to Find Redberries

Redberries are scattered across the OSRS map. Here are some prime spots:

South of Varrock: Near the stone circle, you’ll find bushes with free redberries.
Lumbridge: Check near the windmill or buy from Beefy Bill’s Supplies for 3 coins each.
Grand Exchange: If you’re in a hurry, grab them for around 50-60 coins.

How to Make Pastry Dough

Pastry dough requires two items: a pot of flour and a water source. Follow these steps:

Pick up a pot of flour from the Grand Exchange, Beefy Bill, or grind wheat at a windmill (like the one in Lumbridge).
Get water by filling an empty pot, jug, or bucket at a fountain or sink (e.g., Lumbridge Castle kitchen).
Use the pot of flour with the water and select “Pastry Dough” from the menu.

Finding a Pie Dish

Pie dishes are easy to come by:

Spawn Locations: Check the Varrock Palace kitchen or the Cooking Guild.
Shops: Buy one from Beefy Bill near Lumbridge for 3 coins or the Grand Exchange for about 10-20 coins.
Crafting: If you’re an ironman, mine clay, add water, and shape it into a pie dish at a pottery wheel, then fire it in an oven.

Step-by-Step: Crafting Your Redberry Pie

With your ingredients in hand, it’s time to make that pie. This process is straightforward but requires a bit of care to avoid burning it, especially if your Cooking level is low. Let’s break it down.

Preparing the Pie Shell

First, you’ll create the base for your pie:

Take your pastry dough and use it on the pie dish.
This creates a pie shell, ready for filling.

Adding the Redberries

Next, add the filling:

Use your redberries on the pie shell.
You’ll now have an uncooked berry pie.

Cooking the Pie

Time to bake! Here’s how:

Find a cooking range (e.g., Lumbridge Castle or the Cooking Guild).
Use the uncooked berry pie on the range.
If successful, you’ll get a redberry pie and 78 Cooking XP. If you fail, you’ll end up with a burnt pie.

Tips to Avoid Burning Your Redberry Pie

Burning a pie is a rite of passage in OSRS, but it’s frustrating when you’re short on supplies. At level 10 Cooking, your burn rate is high, but it decreases as you level up. Here’s how to minimize the risk.

Use the Lumbridge Range

After completing the Cook’s Assistant quest, the Lumbridge Castle range offers a reduced burn rate. Your pie stops burning entirely at level 42 Cooking here (or 45 on a standard range).

Level Up Your Cooking First

Train your Cooking skill with faster methods like cooking fish (e.g., trout or salmon) before tackling pies. A higher level means fewer burnt pies and less wasted time.

Try the Bake Pie Spell

If you’ve completed Lunar Diplomacy and have 65 Magic, the Bake Pie spell from the Lunar Spellbook guarantees a perfect pie every time. You’ll need 1 Astral, 5 Fire, and 4 Water runes per cast.

Uses of Redberry Pie in OSRS

Beyond eating it for 10 Hitpoints, redberry pie has some unique roles in OSRS. It’s not the most efficient food for healing, but it shines in quests and interactions.

Quest Requirements

The Knight’s Sword: Bribe Thurgo the Imcando dwarf with a redberry pie to get his help crafting a blurite sword.
The Giant Dwarf: Another pie for Thurgo to repair a dwarven battleaxe.

Special Interactions

Thurgo loves redberry pies so much that he’ll trade valuable services for them:

Imcando Pickaxe: Bring a pie, four Imcando fragments, a gilded dragon pickaxe, and 1M coins.
Imcando Hatchet: Offer a pie, four hatchet fragments, a dragon hatchet, and 1M coins.
Smithing XP: Give a pie to Ramarno after Defender of Varrock for 1,000 Smithing XP.

Where to Buy or Find Redberry Pies

Not in the mood to cook? You can skip the process and grab a pre-made redberry pie. Here’s where to look.

Shops and NPCs

Location	NPC/Shop	Cost
Cooks’ Guild	Romily Weaklax	12-150 coins (varies)
Grand Exchange	Player Market	~1,500-2,000 coins

Spawn Locations

Only one known spawn exists:

Pirates’ Hideout (Wilderness): Find half a redberry pie deep in the Level 50+ Wilderness. Teleport via the Mage Arena lever or a Burning Amulet and head west or north, respectively.

Is It Worth Buying?

At around 1,500-2,000 coins on the GE, redberry pies are pricey for their 10 Hitpoints healing. You’re better off cooking your own for quests or sticking to cheaper foods like lobsters for combat.

Now that you know how to make a redberry pie in OSRS, you’re ready to bake like a pro—or at least bribe Thurgo successfully! Whether you’re gathering ingredients near Varrock, mastering the Lumbridge range, or splurging at the Grand Exchange, this guide has you covered. Got any pie-making tips of your own?
