Rune scimitar

A vicious, curved sword. Rune scimitar is a free-to-play rune in Old School RuneScape, used as a spell component for Magic training and combat casting.

Rune scimitar 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.

At 15,020 gp, Rune scimitar is within reach of most players and makes a solid entry point for learning to flip.

At 975 recent trades, Rune scimitar has enough volume for consistent flipping but not so much that margins get squeezed instantly. The buy limit of 70 every 4 hours is worth planning around when scaling flips.

Rune scimitar currently has a negative margin of -300 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. The price has dropped 0.9% in the last hour, which could signal a buying opportunity if the margin improves.

High alching Rune scimitar yields a profit of 230 gp per cast (before nature rune cost). At ~1,200 casts per hour, that's up to 276.0k/hr in passive income while training Magic.

A 0.9% price dip over the last hour suggests mild selling pressure. If the margin remains positive, this could be a short-term buying opportunity.

At the current prices, Rune scimitar 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.
