A bucket is one of the most basic and common items available in RuneScape. They are regularly used for skills such as Crafting, Cooking, and Farming.

Buckets can contain any of the following items:

• Apple mush
• Coal (only during the 2008 Easter event)
• Ectoplasm (only during the 2015 Hallowe'en event)
• Magic glue
• Milk
• Rubble
• Sand
• Sap
• Ectoplasm
• Slime (only during Slime is of the Essence)
• Water
• Wax
• Chocolatey milk (milk + chocolate dust)
• Compost
• Dragon manure
• Hangover cure
• Manure
• Supercompost
• Ugthanki dung
• Ultracompost
• Weird gloop

Players who try to make wine in a bucket (instead of a jug) will receive the message: "I'm not going to make wine in that dirty bucket!"

Obtaining buckets

Spawns

Players can find them as spawns in many locations throughout the game, including:

• Next to the bank in Zanaris
• A bucket full of water respawns in Catherby every minute (approximately)
• Beehives by Camelot
• South of Ardougne Zoo next to a well
• Tent south-west of cactus patch located north-eastern part of Al Kharid
• In the cellar under the kitchen in Lumbridge Castle
• On Gillie Groats's farm next to the prized dairy cow
• In the room furthest south east in Draynor Manor
• West of the well in Burgh de Rott
• In Edmond's garden
• Inside the Goblin Village by General Bentnose
• The farming shop near the Catherby patches
• Two in the northeastern-most bedrooms upstairs in Varrock Palace
• Two on the farm grounds to the south of Falador, north of Port Sarim (southwest corner of the cow pen, northwest corner of the south yard)

Other sources

Players can also obtain an unlimited amount of free buckets from their player-owned house, though these can only be obtained individually and thus is a very slow and repetitive process. This either requires 1) Tool store (2) (with level 35 ), or 2) a Larder (level 9 ). Option 1) will give a regular 'empty bucket', where option 2) gives a 'bucket of milk' that can be emptied.

Up to 39 buckets (of slime) a day can be obtained from Robin Hood when using the Morytania legs. Assuming the slime is used, these buckets, together with 39 pots, are a useful by-product.

Players who try to take the bucket from the respawn in Meiyerditch will receive the message: "I really do not want to go anywhere near that! It stinks!" Attempting to use Telekinetic Grab to take it will yield the message: "I really don't want to waste runes on grabbing this item."

Update history

The update history project is a work-in-progress – not all updates to this topic may be covered below. See here for how to help out!

• patch 3 June 2019 (Update):
  • Buckets are no longer removed when making chocolate or strawberry cream cheese.

• ninja 8 May 2017 (Update):.
  • Empty buckets have been rotated to help differentiate between empty and filled buckets.

• ninja 2 November 2015 (Update):
  • Buckets may now be automatically discarded when farming with new skilling options in Esc -> Gameplay -> Misc Settings.

• patch 12 May 2009 (Update):
  • A previously unobtainable bucket can now be picked up as we've moved the chair that was blocking it.

Trivia

• You can store buckets, compost, supercompost and ultracompost in the farming store of any tool leprechaun. The most you can store is 255, the maximum number in one byte.
• A bucket can hold 2 litres of water. This can be found by observing that filling a bucket of water increases your weight by 2kg.
• The bucket is turned sideways when empty, this is to show that it is empty. When filled with something, it will revert back to what it previously looked like.
