About Crossbow string
The Crossbow string is a members-only item in Old School RuneScape.
"A string for a crossbow"
Over the last 30 days it traded between 137 and 405 gp on the Grand Exchange, averaging 248 gp. About 2,418 units changed hands per day. The price is down 46.8% across that window. The Grand Exchange buy limit is 11,000 every 4 hours. Selling one at the average price costs 4 gp in Grand Exchange tax.
Casting High Level Alchemy returns 1 gp, which is 99.6% below the 30-day average price, so alching a bought one loses money.
