About Ruby
The Ruby is a free-to-play skilling resource in Old School RuneScape.
"This looks valuable"
Over the last 30 days it traded between 691 and 778 gp on the Grand Exchange, averaging 734 gp. About 2,074,321 units changed hands per day. The price is up 1.1% across that window. The Grand Exchange buy limit is 13,000 every 4 hours. Selling one at the average price costs 14 gp in Grand Exchange tax.
Casting High Level Alchemy returns 600 gp, which is 18.3% below the 30-day average price, so alching a bought one loses money.
