Quicklime is made by putting limestone in a furnace while wearing gloves. If the player isn't wearing gloves, the limestone will corrode the player's skin and damage the player for 8 Hitpoints. Quicklime is used in the Regicide quest for making the barrel bomb.

With an empty pot in inventory, the quicklime is used with a pestle and mortar to make a pot of quicklime.

When attempting to crush quicklime using a pestle and mortar without an empty pot, the player will spill the dust on the ground and take a small amount of (non-lethal) damage.

Limestone can be mined in Silvarea (east of Varrock, near the house of the Odd Old Man) and in north-east Tirannwn.

Trivia

  • When ground down, the player will receive a message stating You grind the quicklime to dust and store it in a pot. This occurs even if the player does not have an empty pot in their inventory.
    • Furthermore, the absence of a pot will yield additional messages You burn yourself on the caustic dust before spilling it on the ground. Maybe you need something to store it in.
