About Steel sword
The Steel sword is a free-to-play weapon in Old School RuneScape.
"A razor sharp sword"
Over the last 30 days it traded between 52 and 168 gp on the Grand Exchange, averaging 108 gp. About 1,359 units changed hands per day. The price is down 37.2% 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 195 gp, which is 80.6% above the 30-day average price, so buying and alching it covers its own cost before the nature rune.
