About Tinderbox
The Tinderbox is a free-to-play tool in Old School RuneScape.
"Useful for lighting a fire"
Over the last 30 days it traded between 46 and 444 gp on the Grand Exchange, averaging 148 gp. About 6,896 units changed hands per day. The price is up 24.7% across that window. The Grand Exchange buy limit is 40 every 4 hours. Selling one at the average price costs 2 gp in Grand Exchange tax.
Casting High Level Alchemy returns 1 gp, which is 99.3% below the 30-day average price, so alching a bought one loses money.
