About Steel studs
Steel studs are a members-only item in Old School RuneScape.
"A set of studs for leather armour"
Over the last 30 days they traded between 247 and 512 gp on the Grand Exchange, averaging 344 gp. About 1,346 units changed hands per day. The price is up 11.5% 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 90 gp, which is 73.8% below the 30-day average price, so alching a bought one loses money.
