About Rune axe

The Rune axe is a free-to-play weapon in Old School RuneScape.

"A powerful axe"

Over the last 30 days it traded between 7,073 and 7,318 gp on the Grand Exchange, averaging 7,206 gp. About 18,000 units changed hands per day. The price is up 3.5% across that window. The Grand Exchange buy limit is 40 every 4 hours. Selling one at the average price costs 144 gp in Grand Exchange tax.

Casting High Level Alchemy returns 7,680 gp, which is 6.6% above the 30-day average price, so buying and alching it covers its own cost before the nature rune.
