About Mithril sword

"A razor sharp sword."

The mithril sword is a free-to-play stab weapon requiring 20 Attack to wield. It can be smithed from a single mithril bar at 55 Smithing for 50 XP and is also stocked at the Varrock Swordshop and Cassie's Shield Shop. Most players prefer the mithril scimitar for combat training because it attacks faster on the slash style, so the sword sees the most use in shop runs and as low-level alch fodder.

Market Strategy

  • Investment Notes
  • Shop-stocked at 845 gp; flip ceiling is shop restock cadence
  • High alch at 507 gp can produce a small magic XP profit when buy price dips
  • F2P sword tier is overshadowed by mithril scimitar for combat use
  • GE limit of 125 per 4 hours limits scale of any flip strategy

Trading Tips

Compare against scimitar pricing: scimitar usually trades at higher demand
Watch for shop restock raids that flood GE supply on F2P worlds
Alch a few for magic XP when GE price holds below the alch break-even
