Keg OSRS: Explosives and Spirits

Whether you're blowing up enemy ships with Gunpowder Kegs or smuggling Karamjan Rum, kegs are vital for any pirate.

Keg Types

  • 💣 Gunpowder Keg: Deals massive AoE damage to ships.
  • 🍺 Rum Keg: High-value trade good from Karamja.
  • 💧 Water Keg: Essential for long voyages to prevent dehydration.

Gunpowder Kegs: Naval Combat

Gunpowder Kegs are your primary weapon against large vessels and sea monsters. They can be deployed from the rear of your ship or fired from cannons.

Stats & Requirements

  • Sailing Level: 40
  • Crafting Level: 45 (to make fuses)
  • Damage: 30-50 (scales with Firemaking)
  • Blast Radius: 3x3 tiles
⚠️ Friendly Fire: Be careful! If a keg explodes too close to your own ship, you will take damage.

Smuggling Rum Kegs

Transporting Karamjan Rum Kegs is a lucrative but dangerous activity. The Customs Officers at Port Sarim will confiscate them if found.

Smuggling Routes

Method 1: The Luthas Trick

Pack the kegs into a crate of bananas on Karamja, then retrieve them from the food store in Port Sarim. (Classic method, still works!)

Method 2: The Pirate's Cove

Sail around the blockade to Pirate's Cove. You can sell the kegs to the black market trader there for 2x the price.
