What is alching?

[Mitch4?]

First of all i know this is off topic. But i couldn't find a runescape board it'd fit with.
-
I've seen what it is and that it changes items into gold.
But what exacltly does it do and how do you do.
I tried looking on guides but they make no sense.
Help? Maybe REP?

its a spell what people use on items to turn them in to money and it also gives good magic XP

also this should of been posted in the normal rs cat not trading

[Mitch4?]

Oh thanks, and like what items can you turn? Is it magic logs?

[Axel]

Is there a 'set price' list somewhere so you can see how much you get for each item after alching it?
