About Steel platebody
The Steel platebody is a free-to-play piece of equipment in Old School RuneScape.
"Provides excellent protection"
Over the last 30 days it traded between 789 and 1,015 gp on the Grand Exchange, averaging 922 gp. About 66,343 units changed hands per day. The price is down 2.6% across that window. The Grand Exchange buy limit is 125 every 4 hours. Selling one at the average price costs 18 gp in Grand Exchange tax.
Casting High Level Alchemy returns 1,200 gp, which is 30.2% above the 30-day average price, so buying and alching it covers its own cost before the nature rune.
