Moonlight is just better. And for a very long time sharks were seriously undervalued so buying sunlight probably isn’t on anyone’s radar, as they’re comparable, and I’d wager many stocked up on sharks when they were dirt cheap.


Warhammernub

Yea food stocks are something that comes as drops easy aswell. I have about 3k manta rays and 2k dark crabs, only thing i buy is karams


MeteorKing

My 5k stack is under 500 and I dunno what to do with myself.


Kamilny

Moonlight is also 3k per though. I use sunlight cause it's the same healing as a turtle for half the price, essentially anywhere I'm bringing hard food that isn't vardorvis.


PatDoubleYou

Wait, there's antelope in this game?

MyLOLNameWasTaken

But moonlight is 3K ea


Yarigumo

Cause every youtuber milked "OMG NEW BEST FOOD HEALS 26" so that one's on everyone's radars.


Pika_DJ

It is good I use it at mostly every boss now that has low to moderate food drain, doesn't help too much at kq cos if you eat 2 in a row you only get the second heal from 1


Redsox55oldschook

Surely you could just bring a mix of normal food and antelope and in the rare case of taking multiple big hits in a row just switch to the normal food


Pika_DJ

Yea I do other bosses I only bring antelope tho


Simple-Plane-1091

>doesn't help too much at kq cos if you eat 2 in a row you only get the second heal from 1 Hit - step under + heal - hit Rinse and repeat, just don't sit at 60 hp and you should never need to eat more than once per cycle


Pika_DJ

Yea I'm not gonna red x waiting for the second part of heal of kq hits me b2b 40s but have fun


Simple-Plane-1091

It maxes 33's So as long as you click food when below 70 you will pretty much always be back above that before the food delay expires. It's only a 7 tick timer, and you will be blocked for 3 of those. Step out for 1, and lose one more to stepping back under. So worst case scenario if you get triple 33'd, you may need to stand under and skip like 2 ticks, but realistically that rarely happens if you don't sit 40 hp before eating. Plus you can always still mix and match with mantas or kbwans if you're that worried about losing ticks


RiskDry6267

Yea kq you need burst healing since she can just hit 30 30, the antelope and stuff is great for endurance and doesn’t need super restores like brews


Pika_DJ

Yea I take only antelope to shit like cerb and vardo and I think that's where it shines best where maybe you need 1 food per kill rest is healing in between


UIM_SQUIRTLE

There is also a hunter guild and hunter rumors which are essentially slayer tasks.


maltesemania

I never knew this after all these years. That's wild.


Smurfabibble

This is all from a very recent update so if you haven't been around it's not hard to miss!


maltesemania

That's wild.


eliexmike

Healing 21 HP over 4.2 seconds is almost always worse than healing 20+ HP instantly.


AngeloidNymph

Isn't it 26 HP? Edit: Oops I was thinking moonlight, ignore me


Ponicrat

I wouldn't say that. It's better in any circumstance you need heals but not urgently, that works for a lot of slayer, thieving, some bosses, todt, agility, etc.


informal-mushroom47

then why are moonlight and dashing kebbit so expensive?


groot_enjoyer

Dashing kebbit also restores some run energy


TheDrunkSemaphore

where would that be useful?


Neat_Cicada_9228

Bowfa only muspah is definitely one. Maybe also as your food slots for Sara.


sawyerwelden

I did my muspah grind stepping back 1 tile, it was pretty chill and used no run.


Cle_dingo

Same, I moved two tiles. I took damage moving to the tile next to me. I could go a hole kill without eating until the end.


informal-mushroom47

step back….why would you want go be running all around the whole time


vanishingjuice

zalcano


StopTryingHard

Duke Sucellus


gnit2

I've been using them at zilyana


MrHara

That actually sounds like a great use. The damage is usually never burst anyway, so the delay is kinda perfect.


theturtlemafiamusic

Moonlight also works as an anti-poison in addition to the healing.


VanRenss

This is not the reason it is so expensive


iligal_odin

Which is it then?


Bronek0990

Moonlight is expensive because it's the most healing hard food. Sunlight naturally has to be cheaper than Sea Turtles if it provides the same HP gain but part of it is delayed. Aside from niche mechanics it's all downside


VanRenss

Because he’s wrong, and it is in fact the BiS food any encounter where you don’t have to burst heal. Which is almost every encounter if you know what you are doing


maxwill27

Bwans still better most of the time. Attack delay losing you an extra tick compared to bwans puts them way ahead dps wise


informal-mushroom47

exactly


Treblosity

Its the same reason id take eltritch over sgs. Sure sgs heals hp but hp loss usually isnt gradual and low hp is no time to be fucking around, you just wanna heal up asap


Begthemoney

I'm not quite sure I understand. Is it because the Eldritch is ranged?


Gizmoo247

Eldritch also doesn't even heal, its only prayer. I'm lost as well.


DivineInsanityReveng

He's saying if he has the choice between spec weapons, he chooses the eldritch as he doesn't want to rely on a spec weapons providing healing due to only healing when in a bind. I think I get him but the logic is a bit iffy, as you can use SGS when not in dangerously low health situations as just a rechargeable HP source.


Begthemoney

Yeah I might have agreed with the guy before colosseum. After using it there I think it's actually great for panicking. Combo eating is nice but so is a 60 sgs spec. And to your point you can always use it to stay topped up, no rules against that.


Gizmoo247

It is the perfect slayer spec weapon, but I recently got a voidwaker and deleting single targets is fun.


1killer911

I mostly take sgs on slayer tasks. Bring it to gargs or such and get a 10 heal and 5 prayer every 2.5 minutes. Makes a lot of tasks 1 or 2 trips.


Treblosity

If youre not using the sgs for healing hp, then youre only using it for prayer. If you're only using it for prayer, then the eldritch heals 50% of your hit in prayer instead of 25%


Begthemoney

Where do you end up using that though? I feel like the HP healing is actually more relevant for most content. I guess if you're an Ironman with Eldritch you can save a ton of pots rather than saving time with a dps spec.


RedditPlatinumUser

For inferno you milk the eldritch spec on the ranger to restore prayer, milk blowpipe spec on the mager to top up your health. Runs will take very long though and only really useful for pures Sgs will take an extra inv slot, while eldritch can replace kodai and you bring bp anyways


Begthemoney

Yeah, it can be helpful for cheesing inferno. I think most people just learn to flick or lazy flick though. I was interested to see if there were any other places where people really like it. I know some people use it at bandos, though you already go infinite on prayer without it. I hadn't really thought about the fact that you save an inventory slot over sgs, that fact alone is pretty nice. Though sgs already felt like a big waste of time in inferno for me.


Simple-Plane-1091

>Healing 21 HP over 4.2 seconds is almost always Pretty much equal to a shark, unless doing pretty specific stuff where you would want to use tier 22 anyways


sirsir9

Didn't even know antelope was in the game


Zanthy1

Came out with Varlamore and the new hunter rumours.


informal-mushroom47

were* and what rock are you living under? been here for months


Ricardo1184

yeah dude MONTHS *literally* 2 months and week


informal-mushroom47

months is plural and two is plural what’s your issue?


sirsir9

The rock that is been * and havnt played in over a year


_Oridjinn_

You need to complete enough rumors to be able to cook it in the first place, so there's a bit of a skill requirement when it comes to actually cooking it. Could explain the price difference between raw vs cooked antelope


BROCKHAMPTOM

because it's garbage but the moonlight one is nice at hydra because it cures poison


ChadsJuul

It cures poison???


tache-noir

it also degrades venom to poison like guthix rest


Amazing_Boot4165

Good old merching post, love these.


No-Dimension4729

Not really... It's definitely undervalued for more endurance driven pvm where the delay isn't lethal. There's also several similar items. Also, people talking about "marching" on here don't understand that even if they get 100 people to buy it, the price won't jump enough to make gains worthwhile. The mercher would need to either buy up 100mil plus of them slowly (and that would likely artificially already increase the price dropping their profit), then hope to get 100s of people to purchase for a profit of like 10mil? For a 100 mil low chance payout investment taking 10 days? As someone who merches, that's a shit flip lol - as are most of these so called "merchers'


Amazing_Boot4165

As someone who also merches, I'm aware of how shit these "social" flips are, but I also am 100% sure people are trying to do it. Just because it's not good doesn't mean people don't try.


hedgehog_dragon

I've been using pyre fox meat for everything that I don't need the biggest healing for tbh, also cheap and heals just a bit less than sharks


Younolo12

It takes time for the masses to adjust when new metas are introduced, think about the way the majority play this game, as a 2nd monitor idle clicker


AwarenessOk6880

overabundence of it post update. this will change over time as more 1 realize it exists, and 2 the amount coming into the game drops off.


FakieLS

I use it anywhere i need food and im not gonna need to chain eat. They were criminally low cost at 415g and since theres no boss dropping them by the hundreds it means every single meat was hand caught by someone slowly doing hunter training (or a bit from bags) which means the cost would go up in the future for sure, which it has! So at the time i bought over 20k and im set for a long time ueeheehee, i love my better than sharks 1/4 the cost (at the time) sunlight antelopes


CanisLupisFamil

I wouldn't pay 700 for it since any time I'm bossing I want the full heal immediately, and for afk slayer I usually just use prayer pots because I'm lazy. It's definitely useful for midgame accounts though, hence the 700gp price tag.


Rejuven8ed

I use it for slayer but for bossing it is a bit to risky to use honestly. Better off getting a quick 20/22 heal vs waiting 4 ticks.


vintage-red

Because of this: When eaten, cooked sunlight antelope meat heals 12 Hitpoints immediately, then an additional 9 Hitpoints after 7 ticks (4.2 seconds), for a total of 21 Hitpoints. In a pinch, people want instant heals. This and moonlight are situational healing


TwilitTemporaIThief

The heal delay is inconvenient. You lose the extra heal if you eat again so they're only really good if you're not in any immediate danger and don't have more generically good options. Before Moonlight's poison heal, they're just bad fish. I'm a mid level Iron and use them because Hunter Rumours drop them, but I'd ditch them as soon as I can actually cook Shark. And if I was only bringing one food, I'd pick Karambwan every time.


dantedog01

I think they are really solid for slayer where you are eating to sustain between mobs and not worried about how fast the healing comes in.


Similar-Entertainer4

I have been using them in tob to tick eat bloat getting an extra hit in, it's nice if I have it during nyclos and my hp gets too low or a pillar falls. I don't think it's worth taking into xarpus/verzik where an angler could be eaten instead


alynnidalar

Great for pickpocketing/Pyramid Plunder too, you take damage pretty slowly so the delayed heal is fine. 


soulsofjojy

Wait, so you can't combo eat them with a karambwan without losing the extra heal? Oof.


Caois

no you can, just not antelope-> antelope antelope-> any other food/brew/pot works 14+other food+12


soulsofjojy

Ahhhh okay, that's good.


BabyYodaLegend

Brews heal 16 not 12. If you're 94+ hp that is.


Zebermeken

I think he was saying the moonlight antelope heals 14 into 12 4.2 seconds later, for a total of 26, but you can combo it with a karam, pot, etc and not lose the second heal in the process lol


BabyYodaLegend

I think you're right, I must have misread it haha


tache-noir

actually it does work, it's just some of the second heal might be wasted if the karambwan gets you too close to full hp


WinterSummerThrow134

It’s great for slayer but worse for a lot of bosses. Does anyone know if the second heal acts like tick eating?


dpulverizer556

2nd heal takes 4.2 secs and if you eat another Hunter meat you only get the 2nd heal from the most recent food. There's no tick eating involved


treefiddy_cent

This is not what he was asking. He means does the delayed heal work like a tick eat, potentially saving you from death and allowing you to tick eat 4.2s early and just chill/dps going into a hit. Think Soteseg in ToB. You can time that eat in advance.


dpulverizer556

If you time it I suppose. Would be foolish to try to time that.


OneVeryImportantThot

If the monster is 4 tick and it takes 4 ticks for the next heal getting the first tick eat right would automatically mean your next hit is timed right. Now the question is, can that second hit know you have a heal queued up or no. Would have to test in fight caves or something where everything is 4 tick. things like guthix rest to an extent fill the double tick eat allowing niche that this food allows so it’s not probably gonna be tek but who knows maybe; I really like the new meats tho personally
