How to Maximize Alch Profits
- 1.Always check live prices before bulk buying. An item profitable 30 minutes ago may have shifted. This page updates every 10 minutes.
- 2.Watch buy limits — you can only buy a fixed number of each item per 4 hours. Diversify across multiple items to keep alching.
- 3.Alch while doing other activities (agility, slayer) to train Magic passively. Use a nature rune staff to save fire runes.
- 4.Consider flipping alongside alching — buy items to alch from the GE while your flip offers fill. See our Low Capital Flipping Guide for ideas.
- 5.Track your alch profits over time with the Profit Tracker to see your daily and weekly earnings.
Nature Rune Cost
