Sacred oil is a vial of blessed olive oil that is used to make pyre logs. It is obtained from the Shades of Mort'ton minigame, by using vials of olive oil on the fire altar, once the temple has been fully repaired and the altar lit. Converting olive oil to sacred oil costs sanctity points, which are gained by repairing the temple's walls or by killing the loar shades that attack the temple. Each dose of olive oil costs about 0.9% sanctity to convert; a 4-dose vial of olive oil will cost about 3.6% sanctity to convert into sacred oil. Additionally, players must have at least 10% sanctity in order to convert olive oil into sacred oil.

Sacred oil's sole use is to create pyre logs, which may be used to cremate the remains of various shades. Pyre logs are made by adding sacred oil to logs, which grants 5 Firemaking experience per dose of oil used on the log. Different logs require different amounts of sacred oil, with low-end logs requiring 2 doses, mid-tier logs requiring 3 doses, and high-end logs requiring 4 doses.

Note: Players who haven't completed the Shades of Mort'ton quest will not be able to use sacred oil to create pyre logs. Attempting to do so gives the message This sacred oil doesn't seem fresh. You should make your own.

Cremating shade remains in Mort'ton is necessary to obtain various keys that allow access to the Shade Catacombs and the reward chests within. In both cases, Firemaking and Prayer experience are gained in the process.

Changes

Date Changes
31 July 2024
(Update)

Adjusted the Firemaking XP of making Pyre Logs to be a flat 5 XP per dose of Sacred Oil consumed, instead of a variable rate based on how many doses are in the vial.

Previously, experience gained was based on the number of doses in the vial prior to usage. This still used the same number of oil doses, but provided different amounts of experience. 2-dose oil provided 10 experience, 3-dose oil provided 12 experience, and 4-dose oil provided 16 experience.

Additionally, a 'make-all' menu will now appear when using sacred oil to make pyre logs.

15 April 2016
(Update)

Half full potions could now be turned into bank placeholders.

26 April –
6 June 2005

The item's examine was changed from "n doses of sacred oil" to "n doses of sacred oil."

7 – 14 March 2005

An "Empty" option was added.
