Spade price in OSRS — live Grand Exchange data

About Spade

In game it is examined as “A slightly muddy spade.” Spade is available to free-to-play accounts. The base game value is 3 gp, which is what shops price from rather than what players pay.

Spade buy limit

The Grand Exchange lets one account buy 40 every 4 hours. That is a very tight limit, so a position is built over days rather than hours. Filling it once costs about 6,040 gp at the 151 gp price recorded on 11 October 2026. The limit is per account and resets on a rolling 4-hour timer.

GE tax on Spade

Spade is one of the few items the Grand Exchange does not tax at all, so a sale returns the full price and the whole spread is yours.

High alching Spade

High alchemy turns one Spade into 1 gp. That is less than the 142 gp nature rune the cast costs, so alching Spade always loses money.

How much Spade trades

Spade sees about 5.5K trades a day, which makes it moderately traded — an order may take a while to fill, so price it toward the middle. That is roughly 136 times the 40 buy limit.
