Item Overview
Raw rabbit is a consumable item in Old School RuneScape (OSRS) that provides players with a source of food. It is the uncooked variant of rabbit meat, and it can be obtained by hunting rabbits using the Hunter skill. Raw rabbit restores a small amount of health when cooked and consumed, making it a viable option for low-level players.
How to Obtain Raw Rabbit
To acquire raw rabbit, players must engage in the Hunter skill. Here’s a step-by-step guide:
- Equip a Rabbit Snare: Players must first craft or purchase rabbit snares, which are essential for capturing rabbits.
- Find a Rabbit Location: Head to areas where rabbits are commonly found, such as the Rimmington or Falador fields.
- Set the Snare: Place the snares in the rabbit holes found in these areas.
- Check the Snare: After a short period, check your snares to see if you have successfully captured a rabbit.
Cooking Raw Rabbit
Raw rabbit can be cooked on a fire or a cooking range to produce cooked rabbit. Here’s how to cook it:
- Find a Fire: Locate an open flame or use logs to create a fire.
- Access the Cooking Interface: Right-click on the raw rabbit in your inventory.
- Cook the Rabbit: Select the option to cook the rabbit, which requires a Cooking level of 1.
Cooking the rabbit grants a chance of burning it, which results in burnt rabbit, providing no health restoration.
Healing Properties
Once cooked, the rabbit provides a decent food source for players:
- Cooked Rabbit: Restores 9 health points (Hitpoints).
- Burnt Rabbit: Restores 0 health points and is not consumable.
Due to its relatively low healing, it is generally considered a starter food, suitable for low-level players or those with limited supplies.
