About Onion
The Onion is a free-to-play item in Old School RuneScape.
"A strong smelling onion"
Over the last 30 days it traded between 24 and 29 gp on the Grand Exchange, averaging 27 gp. About 178,257 units changed hands per day. The price is up 12.5% across that window. The Grand Exchange buy limit is 13,000 every 4 hours.
Casting High Level Alchemy returns 1 gp, which is 96.3% below the 30-day average price, so alching a bought one loses money.
