About Lava battlestaff
The Lava battlestaff is a members-only weapon in Old School RuneScape.
"It's a slightly magical stick"
Over the last 30 days it traded between 9,255 and 9,934 gp on the Grand Exchange, averaging 9,492 gp. About 2,467 units changed hands per day. The price is up 5.8% across that window. The Grand Exchange buy limit is 8 every 4 hours. Selling one at the average price costs 189 gp in Grand Exchange tax.
Casting High Level Alchemy returns 10,200 gp, which is 7.5% above the 30-day average price, so buying and alching it covers its own cost before the nature rune.
