About Tin ore
The Tin ore is a free-to-play skilling resource in Old School RuneScape.
"This needs refining"
Over the last 30 days it traded between 12 and 23 gp on the Grand Exchange, averaging 18 gp. About 935,386 units changed hands per day. The price is up 91.7% across that window. The Grand Exchange buy limit is 13,000 every 4 hours.
Casting High Level Alchemy returns 1 gp, which is 94.4% below the 30-day average price, so alching a bought one loses money.
