About Compost
The Compost is a members-only skilling resource in Old School RuneScape.
"Good for plants, helps them grow"
Over the last 30 days it traded between 5 and 20 gp on the Grand Exchange, averaging 12 gp. About 26,744 units changed hands per day. The price is up 125.0% across that window. The Grand Exchange buy limit is 2,000 every 4 hours.
Casting High Level Alchemy returns 12 gp, which is 0.0% above the 30-day average price, so buying and alching it covers its own cost before the nature rune.
