Was planning on alching to 94 magic on my accounts as a form of anti-ban.
According to the Zybez price guide, Yew Longbows are currently around 650 - 700 gp each.
Since natures are back up to around 290 - 300 ea
That calculates as a loss of around 200 gp per alch,
(Resulting in about 240k loss/hour at 1,200 alchs/hr)
Yew Longs was my original plan . . but I can't afford 200gp loss/alch.
Can anyone suggest am alternative item(s) fairly easy to buy in bulk that I can alch?
Edit: if your item is private-ish, feel free to PM me. I won't leak it ;).

Right mate listen up…
I'm using the P07 Draynor/Seers Maple cutter bot to cut all my maple logs (I cut around 3k then I start alching).
I choose this bot because it works 100% no flaws whatsoever even runs away from randoms. And I choose maples as they are close, fast, not a lot of bots around that area if you a find a good world, and they don't take FOREVER to spawn like yews so since you are cutting your own logs, you are gaining more profit.
Next you buy flax 30 - 50 each. They are decreasing as we speak so let's say we buy 40 each.
Next you spin all that flax. Now, you choose lumby over seers and lumby is closer. No.2, there is a new flax spinner script out haven't tested but just check the script forum.
No.3, Use waffles fletcher 100% recommend works flawlessly just perfect. Use it to cut your logs into long bows. Then after that you string them.
Now comes buying the nats.
Nats are around 300ea so if you buy a bulk of 3k for 300ea and you bought flax for 40ea, each alch per maple long is 384 ea so therefore, for each alch you gain 44gp!
Before I was gaining around 100 when nats were low now they have gone up but this is a way you can achieve 99 fletching naturally, 99wc, 99 crafting (eventually) and more importantly 99 mage.
Hope this helped.
TIp: Don't do yews NO DON'T they are a piece of shit why?
They take AGES to cut.
There are SHIT loads of bot in every yew tree you could possibly imagine in runescape and they all get chopped down in like 2 seconds.
They takes AGGEESS to grow back.
BUt the pros are they alch for HEAPS 768gp p/alch that's insane BUT if you want to skip the wcing I think you can still make profit of it if you buy yew log for 450 ea. Flax for 40ea. And nats for 250 ea or 10gp increase in flax or nats at most. So that's 10gp profit per alch.
But yeah, just use my method and you are sweet.

Good idea, but I think i'll just buy the yew/maple logs and fletch the bows myself. Takes less time, and is still profitable.

Maple logs for 250 - 270. You can't profit.
