About Steel dagger

The Steel dagger is a free-to-play weapon in Old School RuneScape.

"Short but pointy"

Over the last 30 days it traded between 62 and 174 gp on the Grand Exchange, averaging 120 gp. About 5,520 units changed hands per day. The price is up 96.8% across that window. The Grand Exchange buy limit is 125 every 4 hours. Selling one at the average price costs 2 gp in Grand Exchange tax.

Casting High Level Alchemy returns 75 gp, which is 37.5% below the 30-day average price, so alching a bought one loses money.
