About Steel kiteshield

The Steel kiteshield is a free-to-play piece of equipment in Old School RuneScape.

"A large metal shield"

Over the last 30 days it traded between 200 and 343 gp on the Grand Exchange, averaging 268 gp. About 5,163 units changed hands per day. The price is down 34.0% across that window. The Grand Exchange buy limit is 125 every 4 hours. Selling one at the average price costs 5 gp in Grand Exchange tax.

Casting High Level Alchemy returns 510 gp, which is 90.3% above the 30-day average price, so buying and alching it covers its own cost before the nature rune.
