About Iron longsword

The Iron longsword is a free-to-play weapon in Old School RuneScape.

"A razor sharp longsword"

Over the last 30 days it traded between 33 and 83 gp on the Grand Exchange, averaging 59 gp. About 903 units changed hands per day. The price is down 4.9% 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 84 gp, which is 42.4% above the 30-day average price, so buying and alching it covers its own cost before the nature rune.
