If you're doing Combat right before you teleport to your POH it would be nice if there was a healing thing or if going to your POH healed on it's own so if you're doing combat where you are done with whatever you were doing, but low on health, you can restore your health by using something like an altar or obeslisk, but for health. Perhaps it can restore you from being poisoned and perhaps restore stats. Maybe it can be loaded with antipoisons and super restores so you can use them when appropriate to do so without having to withdraw the potion itself, and it could save you trips to the bank. I know the bank heals, but if you are just finishing a task or something and otherwise wouldn't have to it can save you a trip to the bank.

A Food Pantry to store your Fish or other types of food would be nice as well, as it would save you trips to the bank many times then you can go from doing one thing to another without needing to stop at a bank. There could be rooms with other types of storage as well.

You can't restore prayer and summoning, and this would be an object you right clicked on only as needed, and then you wouldn't have to take out a super restore just to heal the occasional stat effect. It makes good sense to me, to have a potion you only take out when you're using it, since it happens so rarely, that you don't carry them with you usually; in some kind of distributor where you only take the dose as needed. It's not about what's more convenient it's about making what you're doing more convenient than it is. If you are low on prayer and summoning and have to go to your POH anyways for those reasons, it kind of defeats a purpose if you have to go to the bank too, when you could have been on to the next activity. Say you have enough potions from your last activity left and you didn't go through that much food. If you can restore your health without using anymore food that may have resulted in the need for a bank trip, and if you had a food pantry besides then the need to go to a bank would be even less frequent. You can stock up on potions every time you go to a bank, especially when using a BOB, and then you would only need to go to a bank every 3 or 4 loads of food maybe even further apart. You'd be able to make the most of your time at a bank without being there for everything. A Food Pantry in a POH would take the need of Food in your bank and so it would save you spaces, and then you could make the most of your trips to a bank and to your POH by the POH being less inconvenient to use even if on occasion a bank would have been more useful. You wouldn't have been able to restore your prayer and summoning, because those aren't restored at a bank, so if you have to go to your POH which IS more convenient for restoring prayer and summoning, then on occasion it COULD be more convenient

You wouldn't have been able to restore your prayer and summoning, because those aren't restored at a bank, so if you have to go to your POH which IS more convenient for restoring prayer and summoning, then on occasion it COULD be more convenient than the bank given the right features. Besides it's more fitting to have some things at your POH than a bank.
And again if you have to restore summoning and prayer without the use of potions, which right now is only slightly more convenient than taking out potions from the bank, would be a lot more convenient if they weren't the only reason to go to your POH besides repairing your armor.

What if there was a Food Pantry there too though, then you'd go to the bank for potions and POH for food. And then there'd be more reason to use your altar and obelisk. If you can restore your health also and get your food when you don't need to get potions, you may be there more. When you have to go to a bank to restore your health because a POH doesn't do it, takes away some of it's convenience.

I'm not saying you can't go to the bank for food, I'm saying you have the OPTION to go to your house for food, so if you choose to use a house teleport, you can make the most of it.
I'm not saying go to bank go to your house. Get enough potions for 2 activities, and enough food for one, restore your summoning at obelisk, prayer at altar and stock up on food, 1 trip to the bank for 2 activities and you saved a prayer pot and summoning potion which are expensive if you use them for what they are intended. Those potions are expensive, nearly 8 - 10k each last I checked, that's a fair amount saved. It IS a whole potion not a dose you would save yourself. I don't like the idea of drinking a whole prayer potion every time I use the bank, because that is a drain on your gp if you do it every time. I know super restores are cheaper, but I feel like I'm cheating somehow by using them for what they aren't intended, but I suppose prayer potions could be as expensive as they are for their ability to upgrade to super prayer potions which are much better, and also untradeable so they have a doubly reason to be more expensive. But the rest of us are paying for potions we don't plan to or aren't able to make. The blessed flask could also be the reason they cost so much, for it's convenience so that is just more of the same, 3 reasons why prayer potions are as expensive as they are, that most players aren't benefiting from anyways. So I suppose super restore prices may be fair with that in consideration, though the summoning potion price should be considered. But because it is used for both and because some people buy them for what they are actually intended for stat restore for non drainable stats, they are what they are worth.

Sorry, you are right using potion is much faster. I want a reason to use my POH, but until that 15-20 second loading screen is reduced the POH is not 'convenient' for anything, nor can it be. Using potions you get back in gp easily in the time spent to do that what you do with that time elsewhere. To make POHs useful for any of it's features it needs to be quicker to access.
