Advice On how to get free food(almost)

[kptnkarnage]

Let me start off by saying that this is my first tip and please accept my apologies if this is common knowledge and also if I ended up wasting your time.

Ever wanted a cheap way to heal 120 lp that only costs a few 100 gp and is extremely easy to get.Well today is your lucky day ....and the item is : Cake + . You may go like "but does'nt this heal in 3 clicks ". Well the tip is actually of a way to make it heal in 1 click without interrupting combat . It is the "cornucopia" from Thanksgiving 2009 .

If you weren't there during the event then pretty much every bird(try seagulls) drops it.The cornucopia stores a maximum of 140 lp of food but as cake is the closest and cheapest ; using cake would be a wise choice.By the way filling the cornucopia with cake doesnt affect your attack time and heals 120 lp.Will be coming up with a combat guide soon but due to lack of time i will post it at a later time.

FAQ

1:Why are you giving this tip away now?

I have high combat stats, lots of money and a huge amount of cake in my bank so this wont affect me in anyway.

 

Feel free to ask me questions and i will try to answer them as soon as possible

+1 if you like this tip and please do be gentle.

P.S-Other areas where this is very effective is during thieving , agility (endless possibilities),and even member monsters where damage dealt isn't very high.

EDIT-This is mainly based for f2p combat training with spiders .When you fill the cornucopia you don't actually interrupt battle , but instead only use 1 click to heal(so it is a one click healer).To respond to what some people have said I would like to stress on the point that this whole topic was to help people(read non members) with a cheap and cost effective way to heal.On a side note I have noticed a merchenting clan start cakes and so i would recommend buying your cakes now rather than later as prices might increase more.(Am soon going to make a video on how to do this )

If it doesn't interrupt combat, it's a really good tip :o brb trying it

[pkthedreamer]

That's a good tip, I'm sure many people knew about it already but this was still helpful for the people that didn't know.

 

But for thieving and agility, I'm not sure if you would want to use the cornucopia, because you would end up losing more damage because the amount of damage you lose correlates to the amount of health you have.

 

I use this method for when I need to replenish my health quickly at the bank and it works really well

I already knew about this, so meh. I used to have like 800 cakes, but I've never used them much, and sold them off a few months later. It's really tedious eating it in 3 bites when you can eat a monkfish or a shark or something. Useful for lower levelled players though.

read the full topic first.its about a method to make the cakes heal in a single click rather than eating them in three bites . this makes it one of the best and cheapest ways to heal ingame .hopefully jagex doesnt nerf it up

Faster to eat a Shark or something else, money shouldnt be an issue now when its so easy to get.

I have a cornucopia and used cakes in agility but used them as three clicks for same reason as pkthedreamer said. I still think you should pay the little 330gp for a monkfish. That works out around 8k an inv if your training. So you would have to be killing something really bad not to make money or break even on that.

But i guess if your REALLY tight on money its an option.

My comment would be that I absolutly love the Enhanced Excalibar for "free food" and defence boost. I use it all the time.

When you're training agility (in for example the Brimhaven arena) cakes are so good because they take three bites to be eaten. That way you can maintain low LP and thus be hit less.

 

I do think this is useful for lower leveled players, but if money is an issue, wouldn't a fish like trout be better suited?

 

If you do get around to writing your guide, you can post it here.

I did know how to use a cornucopia for cakes. Learned the method a couple of weeks after it was introduced (got mine from the turkey). Never got around to it, even in F2P. I hate the hassle. I'd much rather pay the extra 120gp to save a click (or an accidental one). Call it immature/lazy whatever.
