Now that you have caught some fish it's time to cook them with the {{Skill|Cooking}} skill. When you have opened the cooking window you will notice the cooking page is in three parts. The left tile has a drop-down menu for selecting the food you want to cook, only uncooked food in your bank will be displayed here. The right tile displays your available [[Cooking#Cooking_Fires|Cooking Fire]], which must be manually lit using [[Woodcutting#Logs|Logs]] until a {{UpgradeIcon|Normal Cooking Fire}} has been purchased from the [[Shop]]. Once a fish has been selected and the [[Cooking#Cooking_Fires|Cooking Fire]] has been lit, you can select 'Cook' from the middle tile to begin cooking. Please note that you need logs gathered with the {{Skill|Woodcutting}} skill to light a cooking fire.

{{Skill|Herblore}} is used to Brew Potions. A single Potion has many Charges and can be equipped to the Potion slot available for each Skill, which is accessed from the top right of your screen. Once the Charges from a single Potion have been consumed, a new one can be used automatically if "Auto re-use potion" has been enabled in the [[Settings]] Menu. [[Bird Nest Potion|Bird Nest Potions]] are a good example of how useful potions can be in the early game when leveling {{Skill|Woodcutting}} for extra Seeds or [[GP]].

==== Agility ====
{{Skill|Agility}} allows players to build an agility course from a choice of [[Agility#Obstalces|obstacles]], each providing a their own [[Player Modifiers|bonuses and penalties]] to improve various aspects of other skills. While the initial cost of creating obstacles is high, there is no ongoing cost and each completion of an obstacle grants [[GP]]. As a result, Agility is also a reasonable, low maintenance [[Money Making]] method.
==== Summoning ====
{{Skill|Summoning}} involves the creation of Summoning tablets for various familiars, with each familiar providing [[Player Modifiers|bonuses]] to various tasks while equipped. Two tablets may be equipped at a time, some combinations of which provide [[Summoning#Synergies|synergies]] which are an additional bonus on top of those already provided by each equipped tablet.
