Overview of Roast Frog

The Roast Frog is a delectable food item in Old School RuneScape (OSRS) that players can cook and consume for health restoration. This item is particularly favored for its ease of preparation and usefulness for adventurers who find themselves venturing into various perilous environments. Roast Frog is made by cooking a frog, which can be captured in the game using specific hunting techniques.

How to Obtain Roast Frog

To create a Roast Frog, players must follow these steps:

Catch a Frog: Frogs can be found near bodies of water, primarily in wetlands and swampy areas. Players can catch frogs using a small net or by simply clicking on them.
Cooking Process: Once a frog is caught, players must cook it on a fire or a cooking range. The cooking level required to successfully cook a frog is 1.
Burn Rate: There is a chance that the frog will burn while cooking, resulting in a failed attempt. The burn rate is relatively low, making it a reliable source of food.

Stats and Benefits of Roast Frog

The Roast Frog restores a significant amount of health upon consumption, making it a valuable asset during combat or exploration.

Item	Healing	Level Required	Burn Rate
Roast Frog	6 Hitpoints	1 Cooking	20%

The Roast Frog restores 6 Hitpoints when consumed, providing a quick source of energy. This makes it particularly useful for low-level players who need a simple food source that is easily obtainable.

Cooking Experience

Cooking a Roast Frog grants players a small amount of experience points. The experience gained is an essential aspect for those looking to increase their Cooking level. Here’s a breakdown of the experience:

Experience Gained: Players receive 30 Cooking experience for each successful Roast Frog cooked.
Leveling Up: This experience can contribute to reaching higher Cooking levels, unlocking new recipes and food items.

Usage in Quests

Roast Frogs are not only beneficial for healing; they also play a role in specific quests within the OSRS world. For instance:

Swamp Frog Quest: Players may need to use Roast Frogs as part of a quest requirement.
Frog Slayer Task: Some Slayer tasks involve defeating frogs, making Roast Frogs a relevant food choice during these missions.

Market Value and Trading

The Roast Frog can be traded among players, although its market price largely depends on the current demand and supply within the game’s economy. Generally, players can expect:

Low Market Value: Since Roast Frogs are easy to obtain and cook, they usually sell for a low price.
Convenience for Low-Level Players: New players often seek out Roast Frogs due to their accessibility.

Comparison to Other Food Items

While the Roast Frog is a great starter food, it is essential to compare it with other food options available in OSRS to understand its advantages and limitations:

Food Item	Healing	Level Required	Burn Rate
Roast Frog	6 Hitpoints	1 Cooking	20%
Meat Pie	8 Hitpoints	1 Cooking	0%
Shark	20 Hitpoints	80 Cooking	0%

As seen in the table, while the Roast Frog offers a modest health restoration, higher-level foods like the Shark provide significantly more healing but require more advanced Cooking skills.
