High Alching Guide
Casting High alchemy is a popular magic training method that allows players to convert items into coins.
Key Points
Magic Level Requirement: You need to have a Magic level of at least 55 to cast the High Level Alchemy spell.
Nature Runes: High alchemy requires Nature runes, so make sure you have an ample supply of them before you start. Each cast of High Alchemy requires 1 Nature rune.
Fire Runes: While high alchemy requires fire runes, it is recommend to use a staff that negates the need for fire runes to maximize profit. Here a few staff that supply infinite fire runes:
- Staff of fire - Free player
- Fire battlestaff - Members
- Mystic fire staff - Members
Alchemy Value: The alchemy value of an item determines how many coins a player receives when alching it. It is important to choose items with a high alchemy value to maximize your profit. Items with a high Grand Exchange price and low buying limit are usually good options though it may take longer for buy orders to fill.
Profit Margins: It's essential to calculate the profit margins of the items you plan to alchemize. Consider the cost of the item, the cost of a Nature rune, and the coins received from high alchemy. Look for items where the selling price is significantly higher than the combined cost of the item and the Nature rune.
Common Alchemy Items: Here are a few commonly used items for high alchemy in OSRSfor their consistent profit and high volume:
- Yew longbow
- Magic longbow
- Rune items (e.g., Rune kiteshield, Rune platebody)
- Battlestaffs (e.g., Air battlestaff, Earth battlestaff)
- Dragonhide armor (e.g., Black d'hide body, Red d'hide body)
Remember, the prices of items in the game can fluctuate, so it's important to do your own research and calculations to ensure a profit.
