About Cowhide

The Cowhide is a free-to-play item in Old School RuneScape.

"I should take this to the tannery"

Over the last 30 days it traded between 111 and 130 gp on the Grand Exchange, averaging 121 gp. About 123,168 units changed hands per day. The price is up 4.0% across that window. The Grand Exchange buy limit is 13,000 every 4 hours. Selling one at the average price costs 2 gp in Grand Exchange tax.

Casting High Level Alchemy returns 1 gp, which is 99.2% below the 30-day average price, so alching a bought one loses money.
