A Bucket is one of the most basic and common items available in RuneScape. They are regularly used for skills such as Crafting and Cooking.
Players may purchase a bucket from most general stores and farming shops for 2 coins. An unlimited number can be obtained from a tool store 2 in the workshop of a player-owned house. You can also find one in the basement of Lumbridge Castle's kitchen.
Buckets can contain any of the following items:
- Apple mush
- Chocolatey milk (milk + chocolate dust)
- Coal (only during the 2008 Easter event)
- Compost
- Ectoplasm
- Hangover cure
- Milk
- Rubble
- Sand
- Sap
- Supercompost
- Ugthanki dung
- Water
- Wax
- Weird gloop
Players who try to make wine in a bucket (instead of a jug) will receive the message: "I'm not going to make wine in that dirty bucket!"

Obtaining buckets
One of the fastest ways to obtain buckets is to have a player-owned house that has a larder. You can get a bucket of milk in just two clicks, then use the milk to empty the bucket. This is also one of the fastest ways to get milk. A player can also use the Tool Store 2 in their player-owned house to obtain empty buckets. This is actually more convenient, because the player doesn't have to empty the bucket after it's in their inventory. Buckets can be obtained quickly by mousing over the tool store, and rapidly clicking and pressing 1.
The general store at Port Phasmatys stocks 300 buckets at 2 coins each, and is reasonably close to a bank. You will, however need an Ghostspeak amulet or to have earned Morytania legs 3.
Arhein in Catherby sells 30 buckets and a bank is just across the street. (Arhein is often used by players making Supercompost, as he also sells 40 Pineapples per day and is close to the Catherby compost bin).
Most, if not all, farm supply shops stock 100 buckets at 2 coins each.
Players can also find them for free in many locations throughout the game, including:
- Next to the bank in Zanaris
- Outside the farming shop north of Port Sarim
- A bucket full of water respawns in Catherby
- Beehives by Camelot
- South of Ardougne Zoo next to a well
- Al Kharid - tent south-west of cactus patch located north-eastern part of city
- In the cellar under the kitchen in Lumbridge Castle
- On Gillie Groats's farm next to the prized dairy cow
- In the room furthest south east in Draynor Manor
- West of the well in Burgh de Rott
- In Edmond's garden
- Inside the Goblin Village by General Bentnose.
- The farming shop near the Catherby patches
Players who try to take the bucket from the respawn in Meiyerditch will receive the message: "I really do not want to go anywhere near that! It stinks!" Attempting to use Telekinetic Grab to take it will yield the message: "I really don't want to waste runes on grabbing this item."
Trivia
- You can store buckets, compost, and supercompost in the farming store of any tool leprechaun. The most you can store is 255, the maximum number in one byte.
