Mess
MembersOSRS TCG Mess — Old School RuneScape minigame card mapping
The Mess is a Cooking activity: cook whichever of three servery dishes — meat pie, stew or pineapple pizza — the Shayzien soldiers currently want most, and serve it for experience. There's no combat and nothing to bring in; everything is gathered and prepared on the spot.
Mess is a members Old School RuneScape minigame, found at The Mess Hall, just south of Kingstown in Hosidius, Great Kourend. This page is the OSRS TCG Mess card mapping — the card game played through the RuneLite plugin — listing what you take in, grouped by what each item is for, with every item linked to its card. The OSRS Wiki remains the guide to playing it.

How it works
An appreciation meter for each of the three dishes decides how much experience a delivery is worth — cooking one dish lowers its own appreciation while raising the other two, so the best play is to follow whichever the meter currently favours. Every recipe starts the same way, with a bowl of water drawn at the range.

The stew's defining ingredient.

Part of the topping.

The pizza's namesake topping.

OSRS TCG Mess — frequently asked
- What is the minimum you need for Mess?
- Nothing in particular — there is no item or level requirement. An appreciation meter for each of the three dishes decides how much experience a delivery is worth — cooking one dish lowers its own appreciation while raising the other two, so the best play is to follow whichever the meter currently favours. Every recipe starts the same way, with a bowl of water drawn at the range.
- Which cards are in the OSRS TCG Mess list?
- Every item on this page that exists in the catalogue is linked to its card, grouped by what it is for. Whether an item is a card, and its rarity, come from the OSRS TCG catalogue; the minigame mapping is maintained by OSRS Card Exchange. Cards are pulled from packs in the OSRS TCG RuneLite plugin, and you can trade for the ones you are missing on OSRS Card Exchange.
- Is there an OSRS TCG card for Mess itself?
- No. The OSRS TCG has cards for Old School RuneScape's items and monsters, not for its minigames — so there is no "Mess" card. What this page maps is the other way round: the items Mess asks you to bring, each one linked to the card that depicts it.
