About Steel battleaxe
The Steel battleaxe is a free-to-play weapon in Old School RuneScape.
"A vicious looking axe"
Over the last 30 days it traded between 106 and 557 gp on the Grand Exchange, averaging 212 gp. About 5,022 units changed hands per day. The price is down 36.8% across that window. The Grand Exchange buy limit is 125 every 4 hours. Selling one at the average price costs 4 gp in Grand Exchange tax.
Casting High Level Alchemy returns 390 gp, which is 84.0% above the 30-day average price, so buying and alching it covers its own cost before the nature rune.
