About Opal

"A semi precious stone."

Opal is the lowest-tier semi-precious gem in Old School RuneScape. Players obtain rough opals from mining, gem rocks, drops, and various skilling activities, then cut them at 1 Crafting for 15 experience using a chisel (about a 1 in 4 chance to crush per attempt at low levels). The cut opal is then used either for low-level jewellery — opal ring, opal necklace, opal amulet, and opal bracelet — or chiselled into 12 opal bolt tips at 11 Fletching for 1.5 experience per tip. Opals are members-only and have a Grand Exchange buy limit of 13,000 every 4 hours, making them a high-volume Crafting and Fletching supply for ironman skillers and bolt manufacturers alike.

Market Strategy

  • High alch (60 gp) sits below GE price; never alch.
  • GE buy limit is 13,000 per 4 hours — supports large skilling buy orders.
  • Bolt tip flip: 1 opal yields 12 opal bolt tips at 11 Fletching.
  • Opal supply tracks gem rock mining throughput and clue scroll opal-rich rewards.
  • Demand pressure comes from low-level Crafting trainers and bolt enchanters.

Trading Tips

Compare opal vs opal bolt tip prices times 12 to decide whether to flip raw or cut.
Buy uncut opal when mining tick rates favour gem rock farming and the cut differential widens.
Steady demand from ironmen levelling Crafting and Fletching keeps the floor stable.
