About Steam rune

The Steam rune is a members-only rune in Old School RuneScape.

"A combined Water and Fire Rune"

Over the last 30 days it traded between 88 and 102 gp on the Grand Exchange, averaging 95 gp. About 2,264,954 units changed hands per day. The price is up 7.9% across that window. The Grand Exchange buy limit is 18,000 every 4 hours. Selling one at the average price costs 1 gp in Grand Exchange tax.

Casting High Level Alchemy returns 12 gp, which is 87.4% below the 30-day average price, so alching a bought one loses money.
