Lobster pots can be bought from major fishing shops for 20 coins each and are used to fish lobsters. A lobster pot is automatically obtained on the tool belt. A spawn is found within the Fishing guild.

It is used in the Dragon Slayer quest as an item the oracle tells players to use for opening the door leading to the chest of Thalzar, which contains one of three map pieces needed to continue. A lobster pot can be stored on the tool belt.

They have a price of 419 coins on the Grand Exchange, indicating that buying lobster pots and selling them on the Grand Exchange can be a moneymaker.
