An empty pot is an item that can be used to hold a variety of liquids or powdery substances, such as flour. It is one of the most common items in all of RuneScape, so players will often simply drop them and buy new ones when needed, as they are very inexpensive.

Update history

• patch 10 April 2017 (Update):
  • Empty pots will no longer be destroyed without the 'Destroy empty containers when cooking' option enabled.

• update 12 June 2001 (Update):
  • Fixed a bug where making cake took away the empty pot instead of just the flour from the pot of flour.

• update 4 January 2001 (Update):
  • Added to game.

Trivia

• Most general stores are represented by the icon of an empty pot on the world map.
  • They used to show a pot of flour on the mini-map as their icon, but this was later changed because players complained that the general stores only sold empty pots, not pots of flour.
