About Iron bar
The Iron bar is a free-to-play skilling resource in Old School RuneScape.
"It's a bar of iron"
Over the last 30 days it traded between 167 and 201 gp on the Grand Exchange, averaging 189 gp. About 688,998 units changed hands per day. The price is up 17.4% across that window. The Grand Exchange buy limit is 10,000 every 4 hours. Selling one at the average price costs 3 gp in Grand Exchange tax.
Casting High Level Alchemy returns 16 gp, which is 91.5% below the 30-day average price, so alching a bought one loses money.
