About Black scimitar
The Black scimitar is a free-to-play weapon in Old School RuneScape.
"A vicious, curved sword"
Over the last 30 days it traded between 1,425 and 2,515 gp on the Grand Exchange, averaging 1,839 gp. About 832 units changed hands per day. The price is up 66.3% across that window. The Grand Exchange buy limit is 125 every 4 hours. Selling one at the average price costs 36 gp in Grand Exchange tax.
Casting High Level Alchemy returns 460 gp, which is 75.0% below the 30-day average price, so alching a bought one loses money.
