About Dark crab
The Dark crab is a members-only item in Old School RuneScape.
"This looks tricky to eat"
Over the last 30 days it traded between 1,192 and 1,306 gp on the Grand Exchange, averaging 1,257 gp. About 503,912 units changed hands per day. The price is down 2.5% across that window. The Grand Exchange buy limit is 10,000 every 4 hours. Selling one at the average price costs 25 gp in Grand Exchange tax.
Casting High Level Alchemy returns 192 gp, which is 84.7% below the 30-day average price, so alching a bought one loses money.
