Questions

How much XP does high alching give?

65 Magic XP a cast, at about 1,200 casts an hour.

What level do you need for High Level Alchemy?

55 Magic.

Why is the profit lower than alch value minus price?

Each cast also uses a nature rune, which we price at its current instant-buy price. Buying items instantly costs a little more than placing a lower offer and waiting.
