How to make easy money in Runescape

Are you tired of being poor in Runescape? The answers to your problem are right here!

Runescape, the free massive MMORPG is a extremely fun game, but can be frustrating when you don't have any money. There are several methods of make money however, including, fishing and cooking, or mining, smelting and smithing.

First, fishing and cooking. These are the EASIEST SKILLS TO ADVANCE! And with a cooked lobster (acquired at level 40) you will get 250gp. First, you should net for shrimp and later sardines south of Lumbridge. Later, when your skills go up, acquire the necessary items (which are easy to find) such as fishing poles from the shop at Port Sarim. I went up to level 43 in this skill in only a few hours. While you collect fish, cook them, raising your level. The fish will sell at a general store for a decent price for the effort put into catching them.

Another method is Mining, smelting, and smithing. For noobs, it is best to start mining south of Lumbridge, collecting an even amount of copper and tin, go to Lumbridge and smelt the ingredients, and then travel south to Varrock with a hammer to craft the newly acquired bars into weapons and armor. At first, selling your product will not obtain a high income, but once you get to the point where you can make iron you will make some real money. If you continue this process, even though it is slower than fishing, you will make a LOT of money when you can make adamant items.

I hope you find this helpful!

The high leveled people will say open then trade them your 27 pure ess, and they will give you 27 pure ess(noted) and 27 laws!!! that's 7k each round i made 3m in like 3 days!!!!!!

#24 by center piece, Sep 11, 2007
lol ur all amatures, best way to get money is if ur a member.
just go to taverly dungeon in mem area west of falador and find your way to baby blue dragons [they r useless so kill normal blue dragons] they drop blue hide witch is like 1.6k and drag bones r 600 ea. and dragon scales wich r 1k ea. there r d scales catteres around the area so its gonna b easy for low lvs wo cant kill the dragons. this works i made 456mil in 2 days off this
the fastes way to get money is hire a runner, wen u have the scales you want pay ur runner the amount of the scales then divide by 6 example: 1986x 1k = 1986000 gp [1 mil+]dividen by 6 =331k
so ur left with 1655000 gp [still 1 mil plus] and if a strong whip holding member its better to kill the dragons for the hides ad if ur crafting is high enough make full blue dragon stuff and sell for 55k :)

Some of these methods are somewhat decent, but buy selling molten glass is a really good way too. It takes patiences but, in 2 days i made 2mil off of it. 2k molten glass= 2mil.

Sell them for 2k each!...............It really is a lifesaver!

2.cut magic trees and use a spade on the stump.u will get magic roots.sell 100 for 120mil or spin the roots into strings 100= 894k!!!!

Hi, i am zezima and i have 894 bill rs gold the way i make that is i sell phats. But most players dont get phars as easy as i do so this is for all the noobs. Go to the grand exchange and buy 100 flax for 8.8k and go spin them into bowstrings. And once u have 100 bowstrings go to the grand exchange and sell the bowstrings for 16k and you profit 8kjust like that c ya noobs. I hope you have fun with the money making idea i have for noobs, bye.
#62 by Money, Mar 9, 2008
Hey guys,
here's a good simple way of making money if you have access to the elf place in rs.
Go and pick white berries and you get about 22-3 every 5 minutes. Thats about 20k every 5 min. So you make about 200k per hour.
#63 by ferretpoop , Mar 11, 2008

#65 by poper, Mar 25, 2008
if you r looking for a way to make good money in runescape, read this it will help.We all play runescape and its hard making money, i only had 1k at lv 10 and i went to fally and found a picaxe and stated to mine, at lv 15 i mined iron.soon i got 360 iron ore and went to the grand exchange and got 26-28k so fast.now now i got around 3.6mill just mining iron ores. iron ores and higher will make you get rich. i can now mine mith ores and make around 30-35k with 300 ores.(i am not a member)
#66 by poper, Mar 25, 2008
i posted #67 in the moring at 6:30am,and i played 4 10 hours b/c i dont have school. in the 10 hours i got over 300k already with iron. my mining is 50 but irons ores r near the bank so thats why i mine iron. so anyways this is your chance to make fast money and buy anything you want you get in runescape. u dont need to listen to me and i wont care but when i drop coins and you pick them up for money i can laugh in your face . just do it, mine iron or above iron. get 1080 iron ores and that will equal to 78k with only iron but by then you mining lv will get higherand you can mine mith, addy, and gold ores and sell them for a bunndle. in a month i earned 1 mill.

#70 by drummaboy78, Apr 6, 2008
beleive me ive been playing rs for about 1 1/2 year now and i became a mem once. a good way to make money is you go to ge (grand exchange) a little east of varrock, and buy a brass key.
then go west out of the south entrance ( or exit) intill you find a shack. go in (and i forgot to mension....you have to be at least lvl 32 to do this) and go down the ladder

You will see big people those are hill giants.
pick up there bones and sell them for around 310 each.

add me on runescape anytime saying "i saw that comment on that one website" anyways add me. (drummaboy78) ty
#71 by drummaboy78, Apr 6, 2008
oh yea and btw, if ur a mem i mostly make my money off of pure ess or gold
pure ess is worth 100gp or more each
gold is like 400 each but its harder to mine
one time off of pure ess i got close to 500k!
i had 470k but spent it all on runes
ty for everything again
#72 by poper, Apr 6, 2008
drummaboy78 thats a good way of making money lol!
but if you really want to have mill started small now i get cowhide from the ge and make them into hard leather and sell them i bought 500 cowhides (which is around 97each 500 cowhide =54k) when i was done making the 500 cowhides i sold them and got around 70k
ty
#73 by weirdo, Apr 6, 2008
ty
whf
#74 by poper, Apr 6, 2008
i just found away to make easy really easy money!!!!!!the only problem you need your crafthing lv 40=( =(.to get your crafthing 40 get 700 cowhides and until your crafthing is 18 do soft leather then after use hard leather. when your crafthing is 40 go to the crafthing guild located south of falldor bring a pic axe and mine gold ( there r around 7 gold rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)=) =)
then when you get 100 gold ores and sell them in the grand exchange aka ge ( gold ores sell for around 300-400 coins each) so 100 gold ores = around 40 -60k now thats the way to make good and really fast money total

#79 by runescape fan, May 21, 2008
To make easy money on runescape is you need level 70 mining or even better level 85 mining..If you have 70 mining go mine adamantite at falador and sell them for about 1000gold each..If you have 85 mining go mine runeite in hero's guild or wilderness....don't worry people can't kill u in the wilderness anymore...so sell the runeite for about 11000 gold each..it's best if you sell your items at grand exchange in a popular world.and you might wanna keep doing this..it got me over 1000000000gold doing this.so i bought party hats and full god armor plus some other cool stuff..so good luck!=]..from n3ngician
#80 by runescape fan, May 21, 2008
another way is to make things out of the runeite ore..n3ngician

#86 by Extreamkill2, Jul 11, 2008
I have and good way to make money if your a non memeber this works well if u have 44 runecrafting or over. Buy Rune essence from G.E and make into Air runes then sell the airs runes for 15gp ea. Do not buy Pure Essence you wate a lot of money.
#87 by spy0117, Jul 26, 2008

#95 by quam47, Oct 1, 2008
o and poophead i tried getting the rutes and it would no work y is that??
#96 by Extreamkill2, Oct 4, 2008
K this is not exactly how to make money but its the best training idea! If u have done Creature Of Fenkenstrain then u should know where the experiments are. The Experiments are only level 25 no reason to bring food. They give a really good amount of xp, its about 533 xp per kill. If u can bf collect bones and store em in the bank. But this IS the BEST trainin ull ever find.
#97 by Extreamkill2, Oct 4, 2008
BTW if u don\'t know where the Experiments are it is the same place where u kill the level 51 to grab the key and unlock the gate. If u don\'t remember the spot, it is not very far east of the Castle and the last Memorial from the east and just push it!!!!
