About Gold ore
The Gold ore is a free-to-play skilling resource in Old School RuneScape.
"This needs refining"
Over the last 30 days it traded between 151 and 162 gp on the Grand Exchange, averaging 155 gp. About 12,176,492 units changed hands per day. The Grand Exchange buy limit is 30,000 every 4 hours. Selling one at the average price costs 3 gp in Grand Exchange tax.
Casting High Level Alchemy returns 90 gp, which is 41.9% below the 30-day average price, so alching a bought one loses money.
