About Flax
The Flax is a members-only item in Old School RuneScape.
"I should use this with a spinning wheel"
Over the last 30 days it traded between 2 and 3 gp on the Grand Exchange, averaging 2 gp. About 7,711,629 units changed hands per day. The price is up 50.0% across that window. The Grand Exchange buy limit is 13,000 every 4 hours.
Casting High Level Alchemy returns 3 gp, which is 50.0% above the 30-day average price, so buying and alching it covers its own cost before the nature rune.
