About Steel chainbody
The Steel chainbody is a free-to-play piece of equipment in Old School RuneScape.
"A series of connected metal rings"
Over the last 30 days it traded between 164 and 720 gp on the Grand Exchange, averaging 303 gp. About 2,683 units changed hands per day. The price is up 15.9% across that window. The Grand Exchange buy limit is 125 every 4 hours. Selling one at the average price costs 6 gp in Grand Exchange tax.
Casting High Level Alchemy returns 450 gp, which is 48.5% above the 30-day average price, so buying and alching it covers its own cost before the nature rune.
