There are many useful items in game, you can use pots to get wheat,
buckets to get water and milk, shears to get wool from sheep,
tinderboxes on wood logs to start fire, metal bars on anvils to
smith items, ore in furnaces to get metal bars. Most items can be found
or bought in many shops found around Runescape.
NOTE: This list is not complete and will never be complete as Runescape is
dynamic world and items are added very often. If you see any item missing
please MAKE A PIC and send it in email with NAME OF ITEM, COST, HOW you get it or
location where you can find it.
Quality (Material) of weapon directly influence attack accuracy and damage
you inflict in combat. You can see it directly on status screen under Characteristics,
under Equipment Weapon Aim and Weapon Power. In January 2002 they introduced Minimum
level to be able to use some weapons of better materials.

This weapon is the weakest of its material class (e.g. an iron dagger
is the weakest of iron weapons).
Swords

2 Handed Sword
All these weapons are very similar and have nearly equal Aim and Power
values.
Axes
Hatchet or Axe
Battle Axe
The axe is a tool if used on a tree; you can cut down trees and produce
logs. With axes, it is more difficult to hit a target than it is with swords
but axes inflict more damage. Axes have lower Aim and higher Power.
Maces
Mace
Maces are blunt weapons which are easy to hit targets with, but will deliver
low damage. Maces have higher Aim but lower Power.
Bows
Short Bow
Long Bow
Crosbow
This is Ranged weapons used in Runescape, Bows use arrows and crossbow
use bolts. You can attack somone in cage, between iron gates or over fences.
Good metod is to help a friend in combat shoting at his target. Damage depends
mostly on skill, on bow depend rang, /accuracy and speed. crossbows are slower and do
more damage.

Darts
Darts
Ranged weapon Very accurate/ short range weapon/stackable one hand

Armour
You can wear armor in 6 zones: Head, Torso, Hands, Legs, Shield and Cape. Every
piece of armor adds to total armor as seen in stats screen. Also it is possible
to convert a male platemail to female and back in Varrock - they have same characteristics.
Note about Dragon square shield: Right half is bought from the legends guild for 750k and the other half is an extremly rare drop from monsters which also drop half keys. After both halves are obtained, they must be smithed together (level 60 smithing required). Legends Quest must be completed to wear, although the left half may still be obtained from monsters even if you havn't completed the quest.

Black Kite & Square from Moss and Ice Giants

Foods
You can check for Cooked foods at our Cooking
Page (pizza, pie, cake etc..)
Same is for all Fish foods please check our Fishing
Page
Cabbage (heals 1 hit point) Pick from the fields and eat. (note:
cabbage from Draynor Manor raises defense by +1 temporarily) (thanks
to Moo Moo)
Raw Meat (heals 3 or more hit points) To make, use raw meat with fire.
Bread (heals 5 or more hit points) To make, get flour by grinding
grain in the windmill, and collecting it in a pot. Then make dough by combining
wheat and water (in a pot or bucket). Finally, cook the dough in a stove or
on a fire to make bread.
Beer (heals 2 hit points and gives +1 strength, but -2 attack) You
can buy it in most bars and inns.
Kebab (heals randomly, 1/32 chance to make you lose some HP if you
are over 2 hp total. Cannot be fatal.) You know about the dodgy kebabs, but
what about the amazing ones? These not only give you a lot of health
back (like 11 HP) but also boost your combat skills for a short while (+3
in attack, defense and strength). Thanks to Rodrigo for this information.
