Thread price in OSRS — live Grand Exchange data

About Thread

In game it is examined as “Used with a needle to make clothes.” Thread is available to free-to-play accounts. The base game value is 1 gp, which is what shops price from rather than what players pay.

Thread buy limit

The Grand Exchange lets one account buy 18,000 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 126,000 gp at the 7 gp price recorded on 11 October 2026. The limit is per account and resets on a rolling 4-hour timer.

GE tax on Thread

The 2% sale tax is rounded down, and at 7 gp it rounds to nothing — sales under 50 gp are untaxed, so a flip here keeps its whole margin.

High alching Thread

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

How much Thread trades

Thread sees about 161.0K trades a day, which makes it heavily traded — orders at a fair price usually fill quickly. That is roughly 9 times the 18,000 buy limit.
