Mithril sq shield — GE Price Analysis

A medium square shield. Mithril sq shield is a free-to-play piece of armour in Old School RuneScape, worn for defensive bonuses during combat and bossing.

Mithril sq shield provides defensive bonuses for combat encounters. Armour demand shifts with combat meta changes, making timing important for trades.

At the current prices, Mithril sq shield is not profitable to instant flip. If you hold this item, consider selling gradually via limit orders above the instant sell price rather than accepting the current spread loss.

At just 550 gp, Mithril sq shield is among the lowest-priced tradeable items — volume is everything at this price point. The buy-sell spread is 53 gp (9.6%), which indicates a wide gap between instant buy and sell — typical of less liquid items.

Mithril sq shield currently has a negative margin of -62 gp after tax, meaning instant flips would result in a loss at these prices. Margins fluctuate throughout the day — check back later or set a price alert to be notified when the margin turns positive.
