About Tomatoes(5)
"A fruit basket filled with tomatoes."
Tomatoes(5) is a members-only basket holding five tomatoes. Each tomato eaten heals 2 Hitpoints, so a full basket restores 10 Hitpoints in total. The basket saves inventory space for pizza makers and is also used as payment to farmers to protect oak trees, yanillian hops, and cadavaberry bushes.
How much does Tomatoes(5) heal and what is it for?
A basket of five tomatoes lets you carry many tomatoes in a single inventory slot, which is useful for players making pizzas who want to bring lots of tomatoes at once. Each tomato eaten heals 2 Hitpoints, so eating through a full Tomatoes(5) basket restores 10 Hitpoints across the five tomatoes. Beyond food and cooking, Tomatoes(5) is commonly used as farming protection payment. A single basket of five tomatoes can be paid to a farmer to watch over an oak tree or a patch of yanillian hops, while three baskets of tomatoes are the payment to protect a cadavaberry bush. This makes the basket a handy item to keep on hand while training Farming.
How do you make and fill Tomatoes(5)?
Tomatoes(5) is created by filling a basket with five tomatoes; the basket can hold anywhere between one and five tomatoes. The tomatoes themselves are grown through the Farming skill at level 12, planted by using three tomato seeds on an allotment patch. Filling the basket takes no time (0 ticks) and uses one basket plus five tomatoes. You can later empty the basket to retrieve the tomatoes, and since a 2018 update shift-clicking empties the contents straight into your inventory. Because it stacks five tomatoes into one slot, the basket is mainly a convenience item for transporting tomatoes for pizza-making or for paying farmers, rather than something traded for profit.
