Hello my Runescape username is
Ink Bat and I am a player from the 2008 era in Runescape. I played long before 2008 on my relatives account though decided to make my own account. Recently I concluded I should write a blog on how to show other players how to make fast money on RUNESCAPE! Some methods are better for novice (noob) players while others are more suited towards intermediate (froobs) and higher leveled players. This blog will be split up into steps and sub categories to help with organizing the information etc... I will also regularly update it so this blog will not be finished until I say it is :D.
First Step (Everyone Must Do)
Before I get into more serious methods let me start of by saying what you must make happen if you're serious about making money in Rs.
Always be motivated and interested in what you're doing
Now you don't always have to pay attention like a froob, but instead just make sure your having fun after all it's Runescape...its meant to be fun! Plus you'll make more money when you're paying attention to what you're doing.
Be Efficient
Don't go to the Grand Exchange and buy lets say...500,000 cabbages to heal you at corp. It's a waste of money and as some of you may know cabbages are some of the worst food healing around 10 life points! So if for example you're in a hurry to do some Nex and decide to buy 500 Sara brews, but aren't ever going to use that many because you wont go back that many times and instead will most likely sell them back at a lower price the same day causing a huge loss of coins in a relatively short time.
Organize Bank!
If your current bank is ....oh I don't know clogged up with junk items such as 1 of every worthless item in the game then you better start cleaning. Cleaning your bank not only lets you search for items faster it also shows you your current hoarded resources reassuring you and keeping you motivated to making more money!
Don't Overspend
This is identical to being efficient as mentioned above, but I thought I would make its own paragraph (or close). You're buying a Armadyl Godsword and buy it 5million gp above mid price. This will be a huge disadvantage to how you plan on making money and you will be helping greedy merchanters to make millions of gp's at your expense! Always buy an item for mid, but if you really really have to buy it 1 or 2 times above mid price....(
NOT RECOMMENDED FOR ARMOUR)
Hoard Until you Pixelated Body Can Hoard No More!
Okay whenever you do something that requires collecting ingredients (farming,slayer, god wars,pvm) always hoard items that are 50k or below. The rest you have to sell so you can at least make some money to pay for supplies (example:hilts,Nex armor,Visages,Rev drops,etc..). This in the long run can you make you a massive amount of gold.
(
Plenty of more methods of saving and being efficient will be included in future blogs.)
Step 2- A Noob's Rise To Glory! Combat levels (1-90)
If you are a huge noob who has no method of making money or at best a good, but mediocre method then this section is for you.
Do Quests
Most Noobs and high leveled players alike tend to leave quests aside and instead go on their journey of an inferior and insufficient one to those that actually do them. You don't have to do every single quest, but some quests I recommend doing are ones that give you faster transportation methods,faster xp, and new monsters to train on or to make money from. By doing quests you open yourself up to faster ways of gaining gold due to the vast amount of transportation allowing you to
A. get to the monster fast and
B.Bank faster!
Now onto the actual methods of getting gold coins for levels (1-90)!
Collect Limpwurt Roots (20 Dungeoneering) - 530k - 600k+ P/H
20 Dungeoneering is required to get into the dungeoneering resource dungeon that contains multiple limwurt roots scattered across the dungeon. Each trip lasts 5-7 minutes depending on how fast you are and how much you're paying attention to collecting them. This can easily make you 530-580k+ per hour. Also if you're into summoning and have a beast of burden familiar (Bull Ant) then you can make even more!
Current Prices as of 1/25/2012
Limpwurt Root - 1,728 gp
Farm Herbs (Farming Level Required)
I have always done herb runes ever since I turned a member due to the fact that it requires in my view and lots of other players no work at all. I recommend getting to level 38 to plant toadflax as the seeds are 2,447 gp each and the herbs are worth 4,219gp. This is good because you usually get around 5 herbs per patch and if you have all 5 patches unlocked in runescape you can make an upwards of
200k+ per farm run which usually take up 5-10 minutes of work (if you're slow). If you harvest herbs every 80 minutes then the profit involved per day would be approximately
1,500,000 to
3,600,000 gp a day. Less if you don't have all patches, but you get the point there is lots of money to be made farming. Prices do change so experiment later on to choose which herb is best for you!
Kill Green Dragons - 1,000,000+ P/H
Good Source of income for lower levels and mid players alike due to a reliable source of income and effective money making method. Each trip if done correctly cant take 5-10 minutes or even more depending on how much attention you're putting into it. This rate of cash may go down because dragon bots are starting to reappear. If many bots are present hop worlds to find a less "packed" world if not this can decrease profits down to 600,000+ gold coins per hour. I also advise picking up anything worth more than 3,000gp. Your choice if you want to pick up the dragonhides (personally I pick them up for faster trips).
Prices as of 1/27/2012
