About Death rune
The Death rune is a free-to-play rune in Old School RuneScape.
"Used for medium level missile spells"
Over the last 30 days it traded between 187 and 201 gp on the Grand Exchange, averaging 191 gp. About 36,430,861 units changed hands per day. The price is up 5.8% across that window. The Grand Exchange buy limit is 25,000 every 4 hours. Selling one at the average price costs 3 gp in Grand Exchange tax.
Casting High Level Alchemy returns 108 gp, which is 43.5% below the 30-day average price, so alching a bought one loses money.
