# High alch profit: the best items to alch now

> Live high alchemy profit for every Old School RuneScape item: alch value minus the item and a nature rune at current Grand Exchange prices, with buy limits.

Canonical: https://osrsgrandexchange.com/high-alch
Last updated: 2026-11-02

High Level Alchemy turns an item into coins: 55 Magic, 5 fire runes and 1 nature rune a cast, 65 XP. Profit here is the alch value minus what the item and a nature rune (152 gp now) cost to buy instantly. Fire runes are left out, since most people use a fire staff.

Prices as of 2026-11-02 00:20 UTC.

## Most profitable alchs

Ranked by what one full buy limit earns (a buy limit lasts four hours; about 1,200 casts an hour). Items with fewer than 100 trades a day are left out.

## 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.
