About Emerald

The Emerald is a free-to-play skilling resource in Old School RuneScape.

"This looks valuable"

Over the last 30 days it traded between 293 and 337 gp on the Grand Exchange, averaging 317 gp. About 1,644,106 units changed hands per day. The price is up 10.6% across that window. The Grand Exchange buy limit is 13,000 every 4 hours. Selling one at the average price costs 6 gp in Grand Exchange tax.

Casting High Level Alchemy returns 300 gp, which is 5.4% below the 30-day average price, so alching a bought one loses money.
