About Iron sword
The Iron sword is a free-to-play weapon in Old School RuneScape.
"A razor sharp sword"
Over the last 30 days it traded between 44 and 104 gp on the Grand Exchange, averaging 84 gp. About 1,467 units changed hands per day. The price is up 22.7% across that window. The Grand Exchange buy limit is 125 every 4 hours. Selling one at the average price costs 1 gp in Grand Exchange tax.
Casting High Level Alchemy returns 54 gp, which is 35.7% below the 30-day average price, so alching a bought one loses money.
