Alchemy spells

OS

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.

Standard 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

Main article: Mage Training Arena § 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

Main article: Grand Exchange Market Watch/High Alchemy

Due to the nature of alchemy spells, they are considered a decent way to make money. Alchemy is particularly useful when players want a quick way of making money that doesn't interfere with training. Common items alchemized for a profit are finished products produced in bulk by other skills, or common monsters drops. Examples include air and water battlestaves, many adamant or rune items, dragonhide bodies, and bows.

Explorer's ring

The Explorer's ring 2, a reward for completion of the easy Lumbridge and Draynor Tasks provides 30 free runeless casts of low-alchemy each day.

In addition, the Explorer's ring 4, rewarded after completion of the hard Lumbridge and Draynor Tasks includes 15 runeless casts of high alchemy per day, and 27 runeless casts of Superheat Item per day.

Note, however, that even though these casts are free and do not require runes, the Magic level requirements for the spells still apply:

• 21 Magic for Low Alchemy

• 43 Magic for Superheat Item

• 55 Magic for High Alchemy

These free spell casts allows small amounts of profit and Magic XP to be made on many of the usual alchemy items, without the added cost of runes.

Shortcut

Dragging an item to the money pouch icon from the player's inventory can be used as a shortcut to alchemise it, using the High alchemy spell if you have at least level 55 Magic, or low alchemy spell if you have a Magic level below 55, but at least level 21. When available, a legendary pet's ability will be used first to cast the spell, followed in priority by the explorer's ring or the alchemist's amulet. If none of these are available, the spell will be cast in the standard way, using available runes.

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.

Trivia

• Not many players use low alchemy due to the poor profit generated. However, with the reward of the explorer's ring from the Lumbridge and Draynor Tasks, players use the ring's 30 free low-alchemy per day to gain magic experience and a modest income, as you need no nature or fire runes.
