Item Overview
Bottled water is a consumable item in Old School RuneScape (OSRS) that serves various purposes throughout the game. It is created by using a water-filled vial on a water source, such as a well or river. Players often utilize bottled water for potion-making, training, and fulfilling certain quest requirements. The item is stackable in your inventory, allowing players to carry multiple bottles without taking up excessive space.
How to Obtain Bottled Water
Obtaining bottled water is simple and can be done in various locations across Gielinor. Here are the steps to acquire this item:
- Find a Water Source: Locate a well, river, or any other water source. Common locations include:
- Varrock Well
- Falador Well
- Edgeville River
- Use a Vial: Ensure you have empty vials in your inventory. Right-click on the water source and select ‘Fill vials’ to fill them with water.
- Collect Bottled Water: The filled vials will now become bottled water, which can be stored or used as needed.
Usage in Potion Making
Bottled water is a crucial ingredient in many potion recipes. It acts as a base for various potions, which players can brew using their Herblore skill. Some notable potions that require bottled water include:
| Potion Name | Herblore Level Required | Secondary Ingredient |
|---|---|---|
| Healing Potion | 5 | Guam Leaf |
| Energy Potion | 10 | Harralander |
| Super Restore | 13 | Snapdragon |
| Prayer Potion | 25 | Ranarr Weed |
Training Herblore
Using bottled water in potion-making is an efficient way to train the Herblore skill. As players create potions from bottled water, they gain Herblore experience proportional to the type of potion brewed. Here’s how to maximize your training:
- Choose Low-Level Potions: Starting with basic potions like Healing Potions can provide quick experience gains without requiring high-level ingredients.
- Gather Ingredients: Stock up on the necessary ingredients beforehand to streamline the potion-making process.
- Utilize a Bank: Use a nearby bank to continually refill your vials with water and maintain a steady supply of potions.
Quest Requirements
Bottled water is often required in various quests throughout OSRS. Players may need to collect and use bottled water to complete certain tasks or fulfill quest objectives. Some quests that require bottled water include:
- The Waterfall Quest: Players need bottled water to help hydrate the plants in the quest.
- Shades of Mort’ton: Used in a part of the quest to purify the area.
- The Enchanted Key: Required for a specific task during the quest.

Market Value and Trade
