“You'll need something to break through that shell.”

About this item

Rainbow crabs are captured rainbow crabs in item form, caught via crab trapping on the Crown Jewel. This requires level 77 Hunter (and 64 Sailing to access the island) and grants 216 experience. Rainbow crabs come in three varieties, which are identical in all but appearance. A rainbow crab can be prepared with a knife to produce raw rainbow crab meat, which can then be cooked into rainbow crab meat at level 77 Cooking.

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. Worth noting here: this item typically moves 0.00% in a day, which is more than the -23.09% you would be capturing — so holding it overnight risks more than the flip makes.
