About Iron ore
The Iron ore is a free-to-play skilling resource in Old School RuneScape.
"This needs refining"
Over the last 30 days it traded between 70 and 75 gp on the Grand Exchange, averaging 73 gp. About 4,675,551 units changed hands per day. The price is up 5.6% across that window. The Grand Exchange buy limit is 13,000 every 4 hours. Selling one at the average price costs 1 gp in Grand Exchange tax.
Casting High Level Alchemy returns 10 gp, which is 86.3% below the 30-day average price, so alching a bought one loses money.
