About Black platelegs
Black platelegs are a free-to-play piece of equipment in Old School RuneScape.
"Big, black and heavy looking"
Over the last 30 days they traded between 865 and 1,509 gp on the Grand Exchange, averaging 1,092 gp. About 2,241 units changed hands per day. The price is down 8.8% across that window. The Grand Exchange buy limit is 125 every 4 hours. Selling one at the average price costs 21 gp in Grand Exchange tax.
Casting High Level Alchemy returns 1,152 gp, which is 5.5% above the 30-day average price, so buying and alching it covers its own cost before the nature rune.
