About Swordfish
The Swordfish is a free-to-play food item in Old School RuneScape.
"I'd better be careful eating this!"
Over the last 30 days it traded between 195 and 238 gp on the Grand Exchange, averaging 214 gp. About 739,531 units changed hands per day. The price is up 12.8% across that window. The Grand Exchange buy limit is 6,000 every 4 hours. Selling one at the average price costs 4 gp in Grand Exchange tax.
Casting High Level Alchemy returns 48 gp, which is 77.6% below the 30-day average price, so alching a bought one loses money.
