The bucket of slime is a bucket filled with ectoplasm from the Pool of Slime, found on the lowest floor of the basement of the Ectofuntus. It can be used alongside bonemeal or demonic ashes to worship at the Ectofuntus. Doing so earns four times the normal experience value of the remains. Twenty of them are also used in the Necromancy manifest ectoplasm ritual.

The ectoplasm has magical properties which turn people into ghosts and allows Necrovarus to control those turned into ghosts.

Obtaining buckets of slime

Teleport straight to the pool of slime with Morytania legs.

Buckets of slime can be obtained with relative ease. For the quickest collection possible, it is advised to wear the Morytania legs 2 or better for their pool of slime teleport, and a near-bank teleport, such as the TokKul-Zo or attuned crystal teleport seed. Weight-reducing clothing is also advised.

To obtain the slime, use the Morytania legs' teleport or the ectophial. If using the ectophial, use the trapdoor directly west of the ectofuntus then head down to the pool. There is a shortcut between the upper and middle floors of the basement which requires level 58 Agility to use. Once at the pool, click on it to collect the slime, teleport to a bank, then repeat. The players do not need to bring empty buckets; buckets will be provided during the process.

Using buckets of slime on magic notepaper or enchanted notepaper notes the buckets of slime, allowing a large amount of slime to be collected in a single trip (using the notepapers on the buckets doesn't work). The players can expect around 2,800 buckets per hour with notepaper.

1,200 buckets of slime will be needed if the players plan on getting the First age outfit.

The players can obtain buckets of slime and bonemeal from Robin in exchange for bones. The amount varies depending on the progress with the Morytania achievements. The players can obtain 26 buckets of slime a day after completing the hard Morytania achievements, and 39 buckets a day after completing the elite Morytania achievements.

Ten buckets can also be bought daily from Lupe in the City of Um after completing the hard Underworld achievements.

Up to 5 buckets can be obtained from the modified ritualist's mask daily.
