About Mackerel

The Mackerel is a members-only item in Old School RuneScape.

"Some nicely cooked mackerel"

Over the last 30 days it traded between 7 and 25,011 gp on the Grand Exchange, averaging 1,839 gp. About 5,519 units changed hands per day. The price is up 45.5% across that window. The Grand Exchange buy limit is 6,000 every 4 hours. Selling one at the average price costs 36 gp in Grand Exchange tax.

Casting High Level Alchemy returns 9 gp, which is 99.5% below the 30-day average price, so alching a bought one loses money.
