Black bead
“A small round black bead.”
About this item
The black bead is a bead used in the Imp Catcher quest. It is a drop from imps and must be returned to Wizard Mizgog in the Wizards' Tower along with a white bead, red bead, and yellow bead to finish the quest. Beads are used as optional bait in the box catching of imps. The bead can also be obtained as a junk drop from Yama if you contributed less than 15% to the kill.

Its high alch value of 2 does not cover the 153 nature rune it would burn, so alching is a loss before the item itself is counted.

Measured with medians rather than averages, because one spike — an update, a streamer, a brief squeeze — drags an average around for weeks afterwards and makes everything since look ordinary.
