Bandages

Bandages are an item used to heal combatants in the Castle Wars, Fist of Guthix, and Soul Wars minigames. After the game has ended, or the player has teleported, all bandages in a player's inventory will disappear.


 * Castle wars: Found on the table in the start room. Restores 10% of a player's life points (rounded down) and restores 30% of a player's run energy. By wearing a castlewars bracelet the amount healed will be increased by 50%. You can use them with other players to heal them.
 * Right clicking on the table in Castle Wars will give you an option to take one or five bandages.
 * Fist of Guthix: Five are obtained automatically upon the game starting, and cannot be reobtained once used. Restores 15% of a player's life points.
 * Soul Wars: Found on the tables north and south of the avatars. Restores 10% of a player's life points (rounded down) and restores 50% of a player's run energy. It will also cure any poison.

Trivia

 * With the update on 27 May 2010, the aid symbol on the bandages changed from red to green. This is because the red cross symbol is a registered trademark of the International Committee of the Red Cross, and it is illegal to use it for any other purpose in a country that signed the First Geneva Convention. The Red Cross has been known to actively discourage misuse of the symbol in other computer games.
 * Around 2007, bandages were smuggled from Castle Wars and used in the Duel arena when food and drinks were disabled. They allowed the abuser to heal because the bandages were not counted as prohibited consumables and gave them an advantage. Since then, the smuggle has been patched.
