About Steel spear

The Steel spear is a members-only weapon in Old School RuneScape.

"A steel tipped spear"

Over the last 30 days it traded between 491 and 935 gp on the Grand Exchange, averaging 612 gp. About 90 units changed hands per day. The Grand Exchange buy limit is 125 every 4 hours. Selling one at the average price costs 12 gp in Grand Exchange tax.

Casting High Level Alchemy returns 195 gp, which is 68.1% below the 30-day average price, so alching a bought one loses money.
