OSRS Exchange - Quick Guide

Updated: Feb 24, 2026

Three Tools for Making GP

OSRS Exchange gives you three tools for making gold — all powered by real-time prices from the RuneScape Wiki API.

• GE Tracker — Real-time price tracker for flipping items on the Grand Exchange
• Recipe Profit — Find profitable crafting, cooking, and smithing recipes using live prices
• Death's Coffer — Find cheap items to sacrifice at 105% GE value, saving you GP

GE Tracker

The GE Tracker is the core tool — a filterable, sortable item table designed to surface profitable flips in real time.

Presets

Presets configure the table's filters and sorting for common flipping strategies. Select one to get started, then customize further in Table Settings.

• All Items — Default view with no filters. Full control for experienced flippers.
• New Items — The latest tradeable items added to the game.
• High Alch Profit — Items profitable to high alch, accounting for nature rune cost.
• High Volume — Items with high daily trading volume for quick, reliable turnover.
• F2P Items — Only items available to Free-to-Play accounts.

Table Settings

Open Table Settings to customize the table beyond presets. There are three areas:

• Filters — Set min/max values on any column (price, profit, ROI, volume, limit, etc.) to narrow results to your exact criteria.
• Columns — Choose which columns are visible and reorder them.
• Layout — Adjust density and other display preferences.

• Buy Price: The latest instant-purchase price. Sell your flips just below the buy price. Also called the instabuy, ask, or offer price.
• Sell Price: The latest instant-sell price. Buy your flips just above the sell price. Also called the instasell or bid price.
• Profit: Profit from flipping one unit, with GE tax already included (50gp minimum, 5M cap, and exempt items). Profit = Buy Price - Sell Price - Tax
• ROI: Return on Investment — the efficiency of a flip. ROI = (Profit / Sell Price) × 100
• Daily Volume: Average units traded per day. Higher volume means faster buys and sells.
• Limit: Maximum quantity you can purchase per 4-hour window.
• Potential Profit: Profit from flipping a full buy limit. Potential Profit = Profit × Limit
• High Alch & Low Alch Profit: Alchemy profit after nature rune cost. Alch Profit = Alch Value - Sell Price - Nature Rune Price

Table Interactions

• Expand rows — Click the expand icon on any row to view inline price and volume charts.
• Pin items — Pin active flips to the top of the table so you can monitor them.
• Star favorites — Star items to save them to your favorites view.
• Multi-sort — Hold Shift and click column headers to sort by multiple columns at once.

Recipe Profit Calculator

The Recipe Profit Calculator finds profitable crafting, cooking, smithing, and other recipes using live GE prices. Each row shows the input items, output item, total cost, revenue, profit, and ROI — so you can instantly see which recipes are worth making.

Search for specific recipes or items, filter by skill, and sort by any column to find the best money-makers. F2P recipes are available to everyone; members recipes require a subscription.

Death's Coffer Calculator

Death's Coffer lets you deposit items worth 10k+ GP to pay for death fees, crediting you at 105% of the item's GE value. The Death's Coffer Calculator finds items where you pay less on the GE than the 105% credit you receive — maximizing your savings.

The table shows the GE buy price, the coffer credit, and your savings per item. Toggle between Patient (buy at sell price) and Instant (buy at buy price) modes depending on how quickly you need to stock up.

Reading Price & Volume Charts

Price and volume charts show timeseries data across multiple intervals. Note that chart prices reflect the average of all trades in a given interval and may differ from the current instant buy/sell prices shown in the table.

Tips for New Flippers

• Start with high-volume items — They buy and sell quickly, so you learn the rhythm without tying up GP in slow trades.
• Check daily volume before committing — An item with great margins but 10 trades/day will leave you waiting.
• Use ROI to compare efficiency — A 500gp flip on a 5k item (10% ROI) beats a 5k flip on a 500k item (1% ROI) if you can fill the limit.
• Join the community — The OSRS Exchange Discord is a great place to learn from experienced flippers.
