About Charcoal
The Charcoal is a free-to-play skilling resource in Old School RuneScape.
"A lump of charcoal"
Over the last 30 days it traded between 124 and 172 gp on the Grand Exchange, averaging 146 gp. About 25,577 units changed hands per day. The Grand Exchange buy limit is 13,000 every 4 hours. Selling one at the average price costs 2 gp in Grand Exchange tax.
Casting High Level Alchemy returns 27 gp, which is 81.5% below the 30-day average price, so alching a bought one loses money.
