Hitpoints
.png){kind=icon}
Hitpoints (also known as "health" or "HP") represent a player's health. If they reach zero, the player will die.
Fighting
While fighting, both the player and their opponent have a bar over them. This bar represents their Hitpoints.
There are two colours on the bar; green and red. The green part of the bar represents how many Hitpoints a character has left and the red part represents how many Hitpoints they are missing, i.e. the net damage they have suffered. So if a player is low on Hitpoints, then the bar over them would be mostly red, meaning they are near death. Players often refer to "being redbarred" when barely surviving or only just getting a kill for this reason.
Recovering Hitpoints
A player can heal to restore their Hitpoints up to or occasionally even above their maximum. There are a number of ways to do this.
Regeneration
Players regenerate 1 Hitpoint per minute. This can be boosted with the following effects:
- The Rapid Heal Prayer will double the regeneration rate, healing an additional 1 Hitpoint per minute.
Restoration
- Food is the most common and reliable method of restoring Hitpoints. Food can restore large amounts of Hitpoints quickly and cheaply.
- Because of how important food is, unlocking access to stronger tiers of food is often considered a significant milestone.
- Saradomin brew when used carefully, can restore more Hitpoints per inventory slot than food, but have unique drawbacks to be considered. They are often used when inventory space or sustainability is a concern.
Temporary Boosts
