In game it is examined as “A paste made by crushing squid.” Squid paste is members-only, so a membership is needed to trade or use it. The base game value is 100 gp, which is what shops price from rather than what players pay.
The Grand Exchange lets one account buy 13,000 every 4 hours. That is a generous limit, so the market rather than the limit is usually what caps a position here. Filling it once costs about 5,200,000 gp at the 400 gp price recorded on 1 November 2026. The limit is per account and resets on a rolling 4-hour timer.
Selling at 400 gp costs 8 gp in tax — 2%, rounded down, taken from the seller. A flip has to clear that before it makes anything, and it is the number most margin calculators leave out.
High alchemy turns one Squid paste into 60 gp. That is less than the 155 gp nature rune the cast costs, so alching Squid paste always loses money.
Squid paste sees about 558 trades a day, which makes it thinly traded — an order can sit for hours, and a large one can move the price. That is less than twice the 13,000 buy limit, so a handful of buyers can take a whole day of supply.
