About Mithril platebody

The Mithril platebody is a free-to-play piece of equipment in Old School RuneScape.

"Provides excellent protection"

Over the last 30 days it traded between 2,488 and 2,889 gp on the Grand Exchange, averaging 2,732 gp. About 99,701 units changed hands per day. The price is down 3.6% across that window. The Grand Exchange buy limit is 125 every 4 hours. Selling one at the average price costs 54 gp in Grand Exchange tax.

Casting High Level Alchemy returns 3,120 gp, which is 14.2% above the 30-day average price, so buying and alching it covers its own cost before the nature rune.
