About Candle
The Candle is a members-only item in Old School RuneScape.
"A candle"
Over the last 30 days it traded between 176 and 571 gp on the Grand Exchange, averaging 288 gp. About 1,444 units changed hands per day. The price is down 55.5% across that window. The Grand Exchange buy limit is 40 every 4 hours. Selling one at the average price costs 5 gp in Grand Exchange tax.
Casting High Level Alchemy returns 1 gp, which is 99.7% below the 30-day average price, so alching a bought one loses money.
