Alchemy spells

RS

Alchemy is the process of turning one object into another, and in RuneScape, is used for turning base items into coins, metal bars, food, and other resources.

Normal Spells

All alchemy spells from the Standard spells use nature runes to convert an item into a different item.

High Level Alchemy

High Level Alchemy is by far the most well-known and used alchemy spell. It is commonly used to fill "dead time" between or before activities, in addition to the more focused uses described below.

Alchemist's Playground

The Alchemist's Playground is a magic based activity based around the concept of alchemy spells, situated in the Mage Training Arena north of the Duel Arena. Players have to use High Level Alchemy or Low Level Alchemy spells to convert items in eight cupboards to gold coins in an attempt to earn pizazz points which can be traded for certain rewards.

Use for Profit

Although alchemy spells can convert items into gold, it is very difficult, if not impossible, to turn a profit by buying and alching items. The market price of most commonly alchemized items is usually slightly lower than the respective high alchemy values, but not low enough to offset the cost of the nature rune required to cast the spell. Regardless, high level alchemy remains one of the most common methods of training magic, because it can be cast on noted items without interfering with training or having to bank.

Players often bring runes for high alchemy when killing monsters, in order to alch some of the items dropped and free up inventory space for valuable items with low alchemy values (such as herbs and uncut gems).

Lunar Spells

All Alchemy spells in the Lunar Spellbook use Astral runes to convert an item into a different item.

Icon	Spell	Magic Level	Runes Required	Experience	Notes
	Bake Pie	65	154	60	Automatically bakes all uncooked pies in the caster's inventory without risk of burning. One set of the required runes is required for each baked pie; baking ten pies, for example, requires ten astral runes, fifty fire runes, and forty water runes. The Cooking experience for baking the pies is granted when the spell is used.
	Cure Plant	66	18	60	Cures a diseased Farming patch. This spell cannot revive dead crops.

	Tan Leather	78	125	81	Tans up to 5 hides in the player's inventory, with no extra gp cost like there would be with the normal process of tanning. Requires completion of the Hard Fremennik Diary.

Trivia

• Not many players use low alchemy due to the poor profit generated.
• In some cases it is possible to make a profit by casting high alchemy on certain objects, depending on market prices.
