Grand Exchange guides
The Grand Exchange rewards understanding its mechanics more than it rewards effort. These guides cover the parts that decide whether a trade makes money — the 2% sale tax, four-hour buy limits, and the difference between a margin that exists and one you can actually fill. Every figure comes from the game's own rules rather than from a price feed.
