About Black cape
The Black cape is a free-to-play piece of equipment in Old School RuneScape.
"A warm black cape"
Over the last 30 days it traded between 292 and 657 gp on the Grand Exchange, averaging 419 gp. About 1,249 units changed hands per day. The price is down 8.8% across that window. The Grand Exchange buy limit is 150 every 4 hours. Selling one at the average price costs 8 gp in Grand Exchange tax.
Casting High Level Alchemy returns 4 gp, which is 99.0% below the 30-day average price, so alching a bought one loses money.
