Rune crossbow

A runite crossbow. Rune crossbow is a members-only rune in Old School RuneScape, used as a spell component for Magic training and combat casting.

Rune crossbow is consumed by spellcasters across all Magic content, from High Alchemy to combat spells. Rune demand is steady and predictable, driven by fundamental game mechanics.

Rune crossbow costs only 9,335 gp, making it ideal for players starting out with limited gold. The buy-sell spread is 335 gp (3.6%), which indicates a tight spread common in actively traded items.

Rune crossbow has limited trading volume at 393 trades — patience is required, but lower competition can mean wider margins. The buy limit of 70 every 4 hours is worth planning around when scaling flips.

Rune crossbow currently has a negative margin of -515 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.

High alching Rune crossbow yields a profit of 275 gp per cast (before nature rune cost). At ~1,200 casts per hour, that's up to 330.0k/hr in passive income while training Magic.
