Waterskin detail.png

Waterskins carry up to four drinks of water, and provides protection against the desert heat effect in the Kharidian Desert. They are used automatically, so you can run around or do any other action and take a drink at the same time. Without a waterskin, players will lose health due to dehydration and the desert is a more dangerous place. However, it may be obsolete for more advanced players (e,g, Enchanted water tiara or tome of frost provides better protection, and completing Crocodile Tears removes desert heat entirely).

Players can refill waterskins by using them with water-filled vials (1 drink), jugs (2 drinks), bowls (3 drinks), buckets (4 drinks), but water in those items will gradually evaporate in the desert heat; or cutting a Kharidian cactus (1 drink), which also gives 10 Woodcutting experience. Waterskins can also be used on any water source to fill the waterskin completely. In addition, the Lunar spell Humidify will refill all waterskins in a player's inventory, making it possible to stay in the desert indefinitely with waterskins. However, none of these methods allow you to drink from them directly, you must still have waterskins in your inventory.

It takes about 1 minute and 45 seconds to use 1 portion of the waterskin with desert shirt, desert robe and desert boots. You can buy a desert shirt, desert robe, desert boots and waterskins (0) and (4) from Shantay in Shantay's Pass for no more than 40 coins each.

They are one of the possible items needed for City Quests in Menaphos.
