OSRS Low-Effort Processing Report

Disclaimer: This report is strictly academic in-nature and does not constitute financial advice; its contents are based off of past and present data which cannot guarantee future outcomes.

Summary

Using the principle of converting intermediate goods into final goods via low-effort processing methods, this report provides a list of potentially viable items to create and sell on the Grand Exchange of the MMORPG Old School Runescape. Please see this article for detailed context and information concerning the methodology used to generate these results. All data used to generate these reports is provided by the OSRS Wiki API in-conjunction with a fixed recipe table. This page is automatically updated with new report results approximately once every minute.

*Note: Torva armour results on this report assume the conversion of Bandos Tassets at current market rates into 2x Bandosian Components. This requires completion of The Frozen Door miniquest in-order to access the Ancient Forge, in-addition to level 90 Smithing to complete the repair.

*Note: Barrows equipment calculations assume level 80 Smithing, with repairs being done at an armour stand in a POH. Potential profit otherwise scales up or down with a player’s Smithing level.
