About Coal
The Coal is a free-to-play skilling resource in Old School RuneScape.
"Hmm a non-renewable energy source!"
Over the last 30 days it traded between 133 and 144 gp on the Grand Exchange, averaging 141 gp. About 25,354,052 units changed hands per day. The price is down 4.9% across that window. The Grand Exchange buy limit is 13,000 every 4 hours. Selling one at the average price costs 2 gp in Grand Exchange tax.
Casting High Level Alchemy returns 27 gp, which is 80.9% below the 30-day average price, so alching a bought one loses money.
