About Steel arrow
The Steel arrow is a free-to-play type of ammunition in Old School RuneScape.
"Arrows with steel heads"
Over the last 30 days it traded between 8 and 10 gp on the Grand Exchange, averaging 9 gp. About 1,656,762 units changed hands per day. The price is up 25.0% across that window. The Grand Exchange buy limit is 7,000 every 4 hours.
Casting High Level Alchemy returns 7 gp, which is 22.2% below the 30-day average price, so alching a bought one loses money.
