History (1)
- 2001-07-26
Released alongside the rune armour tier as the strongest F2P platelegs.
Market Strategy
- Steady high-alch staple: large gap between GE price and 38,400 gp alch keeps demand consistent.
- Drops from a wide range of mid-to-high level monsters, so supply is broad and stable.
- F2P-tradeable item — flips can run across both game modes.
Trading Tips
Watch the GE-vs-high-alch margin; when GE price dips below ~38,000 alching becomes profitable.
Smithing 99 alts can craft profitably when runite bar prices dip.
Stable, blue-chip flip — low daily volatility but reliable margin in volume.
