How to Make Good Money in Runescape

The easy-to-read guide for all your basic money making needs in one of the most popular MMORPGs to ever hit the 'net.

(GE=Grand Exchange)

Well, there is a few (good) ways to make money for the f2p people:

Spawns

Red spider's egg: found under Varrock in the sewers, 2 spawns. When you are close to the eggs or got some in your inventory the spiders level 34 will attack you all at once if you're not standing in a corner. Sell the eggs in GE for 260-398gp each.

Fishing

Lobsters: fished at Karamja. Take the boat from port Sarim. Bring money for boat ride there and back. Sell them in GE for 201-212gp each.

Mine

Silver ore: mine it at the Crafting guild (best place). There is also some outside champion's guild. Sell them in GE for 162-180gp each.

Gold ore: mine it at the crafting guild (best place) you can also find them in the Falador mines (2 stones). Sell them in GE for 491-543gp each.

Coal: mine it under Falador (5 stones) and store it in the Falador bank. There is a pair north in Al Kharid. You can also mine in the Mining guild if you got level 60 mining (37 stones) sell them in GE for 154-172gp each.

Woodcutting

You can ether cut willow or yew (depending on your WC level). Willow outside Draynor village bank or at port Sarim (at east)

Killing beasts

Big bones: kill giants ether down the Varrok sewers, down the Edgeville Dungeon or at Cranor isle Sell them for 378-418gp each.

Cow hide: kill cows outside Faladow, Al Kharid or outside crafting guild, take the hides and store them in the bank. When you got enough sell them at GE for 112-124gp each.

Wizard robe: found when killing level 9 wizards at wizard tower. Bring some food (depending on your lvl) because the wizard will hit and damage you, like 4-5. My level 63 needed 5 to make a good amount of robes. Sell them in GE 708-784gp each.

You also get wizard hat, BUT do not sell them at the Grand exchange, you only get 1-2gp for them.

And of course you get runes like chaos, law and nature that you can sell at GE for some money.

At level 3 go to strong hold of security and take just some type of food, shrimp, lobster anything will work. Then run past all the monsters until u get to the room with the chest open it get the emote and repeat this for all five levels. Levels 4 and 5 are kinda hard because of the high level monster but u should be able to run by them. At the last level in the room with the cradle of life you have the chose of getting some boots that give some ok stats, best boots in F2P. Then exit. Now you should have 4 new emotes, the best boots in F2P and a free 10k!! so theres some start off money for ya.

Dude! wat the heck i got this info like 3 yrs ago! add me my name is ragnuk34 and im mostly at members worlds.

roflmao at this entire topic.

im a succesfull merchant on rs. ive spend like 3.5 out of 5years that ive been playing on merchanting. and ive never seen anny good post at all overthe entire web that will actually make you rich.

its not about collecting alot of 1 item and then selling it.

COLLECTING STUFF IS A WASTE OF TIME! you can get rich doing it...but it will take you ages.

the point of merchanting is that you INVEST your money so that you GAIN MORE.

per example. i used to merchant cow hides. i would just go up to kharid bank and buy em for 100each and then go and sell them for 150-200ea. youill get stinking richt that way. [NOTE] cant do that anny more because of GRAND EXCHANGE. what i would also do is buy hides 100each then tan em to hard leather and sell em for 350each! imagine. collecting 20000 cowhides in 1 day. (YOU JUST INVESTED 2MILLION) then the next 2-3 days you spend tanning the hides to hard leather. once you have done that you would have 20000 hard leather. sell 20000 hard leather for 350each and you would have have 7MILLION. THATS 5MILL IN ONLY 3-4 DAYS you may wanna say. why would someone buy hard leather for 350ea. BECAUSE ITS NOT JUST 1 HARD LEATHER its 20000 and because you just spend 3days tanning hides you safe your buyer ALOT of time. he wont have to waste 3days tanning hides and he wont have to spen 1 day collecting 20k hides. for high level people they only have 1 goal. get on the top 100. and then even top 10. for them time is really important and they are filthy rich! they will gladly spend 5mill!! thanks to you they can do a job that would usually cost 5 days, in just 1 day.

[NOTE] YOU CANT DO THIS ANNYMORE! stupid ****ing retar... grand exchange [NOTE]

most of you will now be like WTF why didnt anny one ever tell me this b4??? ill tell you why. because merchants are smart. IF ALOT OF PEOPLE KNOW HOW THEY MAKE MONEY THEN THEY WILL START COPYING AND EVENTUALLY THE PROFIT OF THERE TECHNIQUE WILL DROP AND THEY WONT MAKE ANNY MONEY AT ALL.

so my advise to you is. stop looking for someone that will give you a good merchanting tip bcuz they WONT. NO one is going to kill there own income.

just think hard. experiment wityh stuff.

i could tell you guys a technique that still works on the GE and that would make you all filthy rich. hell i make 1.5mill / day

but i cant tell anny one bcuz it would ruin my busyness.

(i dont exspect anny one to believe me ofcours...anny experienced merchant would agree with me and believe me. because they are experienced! they know its possible! those who have never merchanted with a good profit b4 wont believe me.)

if someone told me 4 years aggo that he was making 1.5mill / day i would have laughed and toll him to piss off and die.

BUT IT IS POSSIBLE!!! ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS FIND ONE OF THE MANNY MERCHANTING TECHNIQUES.

ill give you an example. to let you see what i mean.

[NOTE] THIS IS JUST AN EXAMPLE!! AND I JUST MAKING UP SOME PRICES SO THE PRICES I USE WILL PROBABLY NOT BE THE SAME AS ON RUNESCAPE!! [NOTE]

you buy a regular log for 5gp then you cut it into shafts and you will get like 12 shafts. sell the shafts for 2gp each...
and you will have 24gp. you just turned 5GP into 24GP!!
now lets say you but 10000 logs. you INVEST 50000GP!! cut all 10k logs into shafts and you will have 120000 shafts! sell these shafts for 2gp each and you will have 240000GP...

see the point???...

i do the (almost) exact same thing but with ANOTHER item. an item that is more exspensive then the logs. why do i use items that are more exspensive? bcuz the difference in prices will be bigger. lets say [ITEM A] costs 2.15K each and you cut this into [ITEM B](12) and [ITEM B] is whert 204GP each. then you will end up wit 12 x 204 = 2448gp thats 298GP per item. if you then invest 21500000GP you will have 10000 of [ITEM A] wich means you will have 120000 of [ITEM B] and [ITEM B] = 298GP 120000 x 298 = 35.76mill gratz you just made 14,26 mill in like 1 week. bcuz it will probably take like a week to do all the work. and it will be really boring but it will have been whert it. you wont be making 14mill / week tho. more like 9. eventually it all depends on how much hours you spend each day playing. i used to play 15 hours / day. if i would play only 3-4 hours a day then there would be no way in hell that id make 1.5mill / day. AND YES I HAVE NO LIFE...NO ONE CARES ITS MY LIFE AND I DO WHAT I WANT WITH IT. I HOPE THIS POST WILL MOTIVATE YOU ALL.

and if i made some spelling errors im sorry...im not from america/england so yea my english isnt that great.
