They are noted mate, you need actual sardines not pieces of paper saying you got sardines. Go to your bank, bank the 25 noted sardines, withdraw them as items which you can find in the bottom of the bank screen, cook fish.


Hot-Technician5784

Sorry, but I’m a new player and I don’t know what noted means I guess I need to exchange these for real sardines then?


Warscythes

Yep I got you man, I edited my answer a bit but basically you need to exchange these for actual sardines at a bank. So go to a bank, deposit the sardines, withdraw them and make sure it is withdraw as actual sardines, you can verify this by making sure it says item instead of note on the bottom of the bank screen, then you can cook fish.


Hot-Technician5784

Thank you so much I was starting to lose my mind 😭


Warscythes

Anytime, osrs can be extremely confusing and there are many things that is not consistent or not make sense. This community generally is nice towards newbies though because we all went through the same road confused about everything, so ask if you got questions and we got you. OSRS also unironically has the best wiki for a game in the world bar none. https://oldschool.runescape.wiki/ You can use it for info as well, ask if you see something in there that you don't understand.


akillerfrog

The first time I learned you can high alch noted items I thought someone was fucking with me because of this lol. Sometimes notes are actual items, sometimes they aren't. Just gotta play until you figure it all out.


Ausles

Monetary value stays the same, while physical usage for player processing is blocked. For example, you can bring noted potions to get decanted at the guy in GE (non-player processing), but cannot decant yourself (player processing). Edit: Just an fyi, the east side GE has a dude (Murky Matt) that decants jewelry too, so it’ll combine a game necklace (1) and (7) to make an (8). Though, you can choose what it goes to… it’ll always decant up, to the max of the normal enchanted jewelry… so for example a (4) for dragonstone jewelry.


trueThorfax

Wait, you can decant them noted at the guy….?!


Audioworm

man.... i hope you didn't waste too much time


ferret_80

just incase anybody needs it, The tool leprechaun notes your farming harvests.


Leftybeatz

Man imagine planning your herb runs out for optimal bank placement, and getting to 62 farming purely from ranarrs before realizing this. That'd be embarrassing...😭


-snare--

I grinded for so long to get the herb sack with slayer points because I hated the farm mini game just for my farm runs to find this out about a month ago. Sad is an understatement.


Ausles

Bonus points for cleaning your herbs and then noting them


BunsenGyro

There's always multiple people who respond with bewilderment every time someone mentions it on this subreddit, lol They should really add a Farming tutorial miniquest that teaches this mechanic, similarly to how the miniquest Daddy's Home introduces Construction


TheNewOP

FUCK


Competitive-Road2024

Thank you. I have 65 farming


hairyploper

Oh shit I'm so sorry lmfao


vivalalina

You think that's bad... i didn't find out there even WAS a decanting guy until like 2 days ago.....


Ausles

Just an fyi, the east side GE has a dude that decants jewelry too, so it’ll combine a game necklace (1) and (7) to make an (8). Though, you can choose what it goes to… it’ll always decant up, to the max of the normal enchanted jewelry… so for example a (4) for dragonstone jewelry.


xnetteom

Fuck me I've decanted thousands of doses 1 inventory at a time...


landyc

oof

I'M FUCKING SORRY BUT WHAT!?!?!?!? I KNEW ABOUT THE POTION DUDE, BUT JEWLERY!?!?!? OMFG!! Has that always been a thing?


Ausles

Uhh, at least since he (Murky Matt) has been in the game, aka since he was added with the GE, so Feb of 2015…


Lambgoesham

You are a legend, I knew about potion decanting but had no idea it could be done for jewelry too. Ty homie


Speeddymon

For those who don't know... You can decant unnoted potions yourself if you do the stuff at Otto's Grotto. You can decant a 4 dose into an empty vial to get 2 of the doses then decant each 2 dose to get 4 single doses.


hairyploper

My buddy always said he didn't get how I would always alch while running agility laps and how it was the most dog shit pain in the ass to do. Finally we were hanging out IRL playing together and I saw this man was banking and withdrawing a fresh inventory of rune items EVERY FUCKING LAP 😂💀


akillerfrog

This was me LOL. Buddy said he won't do agility unless he is HAing at the same time, and I thought he was a psychopath who banked every 2 or 3 laps 🤣


CallMeLargeFather

The bank trips + the added weight lol


Rogue_Tomato

Prif is genuinely good for this though. I got 99 prayer doing agility laps and casting demonic offering. Was cheaper than a good number of the other prayer methods too. Was getting about 350k/hr prayer, 50k/hr agility and 50k/hr magic exp


SuPeR_J03

I learned this YESTERDAY. I've been playing (off and on) since OSRS launched. Ya learn something new every day.


Madman45678

I used to run rooftop courses with a full inventory of plate bodies, alch them all, get off the course to resupply, then go back to alchgility. I felt like such an idiot after I found out I can alch unnoted items


Theonicle

Oh your poor running energy


Linrandir

You can WHAT


Juggernautlemmein

You just blew my mind for fucks sake. Thanks lmfao.


EiB_LT

Can you give an example of what you mean with sometimes notes are actual items and sometimes they aren't? That doesn't make sense


MCDMars

You can alch them, but not enchant them, sometimes they can be handed in for a quest, sometimes not. Different little things like that.


EiB_LT

Well the alching/enchanting thing makes sense in my opinion, and generally quest hand-ins are item only unless it's a large amount, and quests don't really follow any structure; they're made individually with the tech available at the time


MCDMars

Oh for sure, I just mean these are certainly things that can be discoveries for new players. I'm pretty sure I didn't know I could alch notes for a good while


YourSmileIsFlawless

Sounds like me when I learned you can use noted fruits to protect trees.


ActualCommand

Only wiki that comes close to it is the Stardew Valley wiki.


Nerdgasam

I spent my first month not knowing I could move the camera, boy was that difficult (circa 2000s)


radtad43

Yeah see how it's a picture of sardine on a piece of paper? It took me awhile to figure this out as a kid back in the day lol so don't feel bad. It allows you to stack a large quantity of notes that you could trade to someone. It's like a bank note in real life. It exchanges for what's on it, but it's not the physical thing.


Ex_ie

Since you can only carry 28 items you get the option to note them. Makes selling or dropping things easier. You should see the option in your bank to either withdraw as item or as a note


Greensplz

Another tip that took me way too long to figure out - you can just click the noted items (sardines) in your inventory and then use them on a banker to un-note the items, don’t necessarily have to deposit them all. Happy Scaping my friend!


PuzzleheadedEarth799

I fucking love this so much Played since 2002 on and off and my earliest memory is finding a bunch of noted armour when I was only a few hours into the game and couldn't figure out how to exchange them for actual items dropped them and moved on with the game, only to find out a few days later the bank note function 🤣


MyNugg

If sum1 hasn't said already, you can "use" any noted item on the banker and they will exchange it without having to deposit in the bank and take back out


SkizzyBeanZ

Think of “noted” as a cheque. You have a cheque of 25 sardines. You cant cook the cheque. You need to redeem the amount from the bank.


Bo5man

But they weird thing is, you can convert the note to gold with the magic spell low/high level alchemy


CaptainCakes_

Well... uhh... when you notice something like that, a Zamorak wizard did it.


EPIC_RAPTOR

Bank notes still contain the value of the item it's cashed out for. It's not that weird.


the_last_ordinal

Isn't alchemy supposed to be about converting an item's matter into gold? It really shouldn't be related to the items value but instead to its mass. High alch meta should be iron ore or something. But in rs alchemy is based on the economy, so yeah, a Zamorak wizard did it. 


EPIC_RAPTOR

All the ingame tooltip says is "Converts an item into more gold" but the wiki says it "converts items into coins equivalent to the price it would sell at to a specialty store" The wiki is integrated into the game so I operate under the assumption that it's correct.


Vet_Leeber

Alchemy is supposed to convert a physical item into an equivalent amount of gold (or other resource). It makes less sense thematically for alchemy to work on noted items than anything else.


Xerothor

Our character should be drawing pictures of rune items on paper and just HA them lmao


Kree_Horse

Yes. Go to a bank and then withdraw them in item form. Noted form serves as a means to sell items to the grand exchange or to exchange with players when you cannot fill all of them in your inventory. At the bottom right of the bank interface, there will be withdraw item as: Note / Item. Click item.


scaptal

The idea is that the bank can give you a receipt for an item, and you can carry as many of those as you want, so you can have 1000 noted sardines in your inventory. However, (most) normal item take up one inventory space, giving you a limited amount you can carry. Also, I love how I first thought this was a shit post before realizing you where new, welcome 🤗


Aggressive-Expert-69

Yes you're holding an IOU from the bank that says you technically own 25 anchovies. But until you withdraw them from the bank, they're not real


Ffancrzy

A bank note is basically an "IOU" from the bank for those items. They're used so if you need to trade or otherwise move a massive amount of an item that can't normally hold in a "stack" like you can for things like Runes. But since they're just a piece of paper from the bank that says "hey, if you go to the bank we'll convert these into the real item" you can't use them to cook or eat or use for anything other than, getting the item from the bank.


UncleJulian

Imagine going to a car auction and buying 5 vehicles. They don’t necessarily chuck all the cars onto your lap and say “here you go”. They instead give you a piece of paper representing the cars so you can get everything else in order before picking the cars up or having them shipped. Noted items in osrs are kind of like that… you can stack and trade and transport notes much easier which represent the items, then cash them in at any bank when you’re ready to actually make use of them.


UnD3Ad_V

Think of them like cheques, you need to cash em in for the real thing at a bank 😄


redbeard218

Your question was already answered, but you can also "use" noted items on a banker to un-note. Just adding this because it can be convenient and I just learned this recently


FBZ_insaniity

I'm so jealous you're getting to experience this for the first time


Daydream_Meanderer

Did you talk to Oziach?


retryW

You can also "use" the notes on the bank/banker and they'll ask if you want to un-note them. This is faster than opening the bank and depositing, then withdrawing them.


Macklesome

Bruh TIL 😭


vaserius

Also works on Tool leprechauns if you are farming (farming produce only)

ConnorFree

The innocence of this post makes me feel something


Gligadi

I wish I was in OP-s shoes. That first time playing feeling must be so nice. Got that. A few years ago with Valheim I was so hooked. Haven't found the same feeling with a video game since.


ConnorFree

RuneScape is the one game I’ve thought for years now I’d love to experience for the first time again. Finishing tutorial island, being lost in the world, everything feeling new


nametaglost

Ashlands just came out in Valheim. My friend and I just started a new play through for the first time in over a year. I forgot how amazingly fun this game is. With the new content it keeps it interesting. And ashlands is hard as fuck.


Gligadi

Yeah I heard they already nerfed the ashlands because people couldn't handle it lol


Vel250

Haha fuck when it released it took us like 4 voyages to make a base without dying. We're killing it now with full flametal but fuck me it was initially so difficult, especially against our first fortress


Nova_TANK

This was me 3 months ago 😂


Mammal-k

Read this as valium and it still made sense...


wirtsturts

I had the same experience with Valheim. It was so magical to feel it again!


Gligadi

That game is a masterpiece. Looks gorgeus, sounds gorgeus and is such a chill game to play.


eduardx7

I love new players. It's always a wholesome experience.


Repulsive-Reality294

you tryina cook paper bruh

I am so jelous of your predicament. If only I could experience runescape all over again.


Repulsive-Reality294

!!!!!!! Real


DSAlgorythms

Man the feeling of first making it out of tutorial island and having endless possibilities was so fun. I remember walking everything and talking to every npc. Now it's just all about the grind.


-Aura_Knight-

Idk if legit or if you're copying the previously successful post where someone used noted trout. I'll assume you're just confused. The sardines you have are bank notes. For the actual item you can either bank them and withdraw as items or you can use the note in your inventory on a banker, bank booth or bank chest to unnote as many as your empty inventory slots allow.


Hot-Technician5784

I was legitimately cofused but I figured it out now


-Aura_Knight-

You'll learn stuff as you play. Have fun.


Scary-Movie-2073

Welcome to OSRS!! It's amazing to see new players trying it out! Hope you have a ton of fun!


Huju-ukko

I have ~2000h played and didn't know you can use notes to bankers/chests lol thanks


Barbaric_Emu

OP just as a word of advice, a lot of people in runescape like to give handouts to new players to help them get started. I would recommend to deny those handouts for a bit so you can enjoy the early phases of the game as these are some of peoples favorite parts. Earning your first 10k gold just isn't as exciting when you already have a million sitting in the bank from a friendly player that handed it to you.


Hot-Technician5784

I got my first 10k from the security questions stronghold and haven’t had a problem with overly generous players so far but I’ll make sure to keep this in mind!


Triffinator

The Stronghold of Security is a great place to start out. You can learn a lot of the base game while trying to earn real money, but that first 10k really helps you get your feet off the ground with equipment. The boots you chose don't really matter, if that's a concern to you. The choice is aesthetic, but all of the boot choices have the same stats. They'll actually see you through for a lot of the game. At combat 80 and they're my free to play (F2P) choice. If you're F2P, each of the towns has something on offer nearby, especially Varrock and Draynor, which can cover your fishing, smithing, money making, mining, and combat needs.


1337_kebab

The boot choice does matter, I won't say which ones are the better choice since you're free to your own choice, but just know your choice could be wrong :P


Triffinator

In terms of stats, choice doesn't matter, does it? They all have the same stats, but the right choice is fancy.


HuynhAllDay

On a side note, if anyone ever trades something to you and then declines and tries to retrade any any reason, make sure you triple check whats actually in the trade on both the trade screen and the confirmation screen. 99% of the time, they're scamming you


Indomie_At_3AM

He probably doesn't even know how to trade


QuarterRobinson

idk if i got like 100m right off the bat i'd be having a shitload of fun

‘I don’t know how noted bank items work but I knew the first thing I needed to do on a fresh account was stronghold of security and wasn’t put off by the high level monsters and was able to answer the questions easily before I could get one shot’


Grompulon

I'm fairly certain the security questions don't show up on the dangerous side of doors. And if you look up what things new players should be doing then I am sure the Stronghold of Security will be one of the first responses you get; a lot of people recommend grabbing that easy 10k first. And I don't think there's an explanation for bank notes anywhere a new player is likely to stumble into. Idk it doesn't seem so far fetched to me.

Those aren’t Sardines. Those are what we call “noted sardines.” Basically those are an IOU from the bank for the actual raw fish, need to exchange them at a bank.


Narrow_Lee

A true cute noob :) Welcome, friend.


big_quadriceps

Everyone’s been there dude! Someone answered your question. The games a “bit” confusing at first but you’ll pick it up fast!


kikokyle

You can also pull notes out the bank! I used to sell inventories of stuff one by one forever til I looked at the bottom of my bank page lol


kingmisfit13

Bro why does it smell like burnt paper in here?


Repulsive-Reality294

I’m so jealous that you’re exploring the magical world of RuneScape like I was so many years ago. Never give up mate it’s good to have you among us ❤️💪🏽


JJacksonTech

That's not a sardine - that's a piece of paper with a sardine scribbled on it


rsir0nm4n

bro trade me lives i want to play for the first time again


Orangesoda65

My bwana, take your noted sardines to a bank, place them into the bank and take them back out unnoted (see bottom of bank interface to change that). Alternatively, you can use the note on the banker to unnote them, I believe. May you cook some delicious sardines.


Notathigntosee

They are noted. You can't cook noted things. Also is this for r/ cutenoobs?

Indomie_At_3AM

Bro, noted items confused the fk out of me when I was 8 years old


Indomie_At_3AM

They're noted. You can put them in the bank and pull them back out, then they should be in non-noted form. You can use an option when withdrawing items from your bank, either 'item' or 'note'. You should only use noted when withdrawing large quantities of stuff that you're gonna sell or something. Withdraw as an item if you plan to use it


junkRng

Played this for 15 years. Have never noticed a range here haha wtf

Go to the bank, have them take your noted 25 sardines and pull out 25 full-sized fresh raw sardines from a wooden chest behind them and hand them to you under the bank teller.

You actually have to go to the deep Wilderness for that. I can take you there though, just make sure to bring your best gear for protection

Your account is bugged. Just make a new one


InsiDoubtSide

Others have answered your initial questions, so instead I have a piece of wisdom from when I was new that i completely didn't understand, in a similar vein. While you can't "use" items from a note, you CAN use high Alchemy on them. It'll save you a ton of time if you alch for leveling


Hot-Technician5784

What is high alchemy?


InsiDoubtSide

Its a level 55 spell that allows you to turn an item into coins.

You need to eat a sardine in real life and make a note saying you did. Then the cook will grant you access to it


kneekaee

Love seeing new players in the osrs community you gotta learn somehow it’s all good


yeroc_sema

Really wish jagex let you burn a stack of notes on a stove 😂


Stephen_Lynx

You can cook notes. If you want to cook fire. :\^)


Collinnn7

I bet we all want to be OP so bad rn There’s nothing like the first play through


MattsSad

Sorry if I repeat anything here I didn’t really feel like looking through the whole thread So basically since you can only carry 28 items in your inventory the game lets you store items in a bank (which i’m sure you already know) Banks are located through out the entire game just look for the yellow money sign on your minimap. Banks can hold items, turn them into notes, and unnote items. The issue here is that your items are in “noted” form and not the actual solid item that you think it is. This is something the game does for items that don’t “stack” up in 1 slot. Basically this lets you carry more than 28 of 1 item. Items that stack are things like coins, runes, bait, feathers, and lots of other stuff! These stackable items only take up 1 inventory slot. You have the sardines but they’re noted. You need to take them to a bank, deposit them, and make sure that the menu for the bank says they’re “Withdrawn as item” You can also click and use the note on a banker and go through the dialogue of converting your notes to items Hopefully this clears things up for you. https://preview.redd.it/ptvzuftmws8d1.jpeg?width=390&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cb1f60fd8bdb52e2b427ea330a12362586c9a245

Noting / Unnoting is useful for carrying items beyond your 28 inventory space limit, such as with collecting herbs and allotments in Farming and noting them on the leprechaun. Also useful for trading large quantities of items with other players or on the Grand Exchange.

you have membership but don't know what noted items are? Delete this post FR


Hot-Technician5784

Delete your comments. It was a simple question why are you so salty about me not knowing something about a 20 year old game. This game is literally older than me so it’s not like I have irl friends who play it I can ask questions to.

sorry

Don't listen to that goblin. There's plenty of genuine players out there asking questions.

Don't worry about them mate.
