About Barley
The Barley is a members-only item in Old School RuneScape.
"A handful of Barley"
Over the last 30 days it traded between 363 and 873 gp on the Grand Exchange, averaging 462 gp. About 1,100 units changed hands per day. The price is up 6.3% across that window. The Grand Exchange buy limit is 11,000 every 4 hours. Selling one at the average price costs 9 gp in Grand Exchange tax.
Casting High Level Alchemy returns 2 gp, which is 99.6% below the 30-day average price, so alching a bought one loses money.
