Resource - Guide to Moneymaking

Last Updated: Dec 13, 2004

Guide to Moneymaking!

There are many ways to make money on Runescape Fishing and cooking And selling at the wilderness but i siggest Mining. At a fairly low level you can mine Rune Essensce (the source of all Rune stones)but first you must complete quest . The Rune mysteries quest it is simple but requires alot backward and forth movements.Rune Essensce sells for about 30 gp each but is very quick to mine. If you go to the Rune shop you can teleport and mine then come back and go to the bank 15 secs away. Different Pickaxes have different mining times. Here is a table

Bronze Pickaxe = 10 hits
Iron Pickaxe = 8 hits
Steel Pickaxe = 6 hits
Mithril Pickaxe = 5 hits
Adamant Pickaxe = 3 hits
Rune Pickaxe = 2 hits

Another way of making money is by mining coal though you can only mine coal at level 30.

Bleuren writes: As a Skiller in-game, I suggest you make money by Fletching. (Members), or Herblore/Farming. And for non-members, I suggest Fishing and Smithing, Food is always a fast seller in 'Edgeville' (City in RuneScape). I hope this helps, But good suggestions all-in-all. Regards, Bleuren Wed Sep 12 2007 11:43PM

Krivlad writes: This is a guide?! I can think of better money-making methods off the top of my head! Even if you're F2P, even if you just started playing RS, this is NOT a good way to earn gp. Not unless you want to mine rune ess for 12 hours a day for the next month. Fri Aug 31 2007 3:39AM

Zelda-Boy writes: ROFL!!! What kind of guide is that! That's not even a guide! More like suggestions to get full steel for a NOOB! It takes abou tan hour or two to get 20k with this strategy. I mean...Holy Crap...Here's an idea for F2P players. (Free to play) Just fish raw lobs and sell in varrock for pkers. Or better yet. Get smithing up. At steel weapons and armor, atleast you make about 30k an hour. =\ Merchanting is the best way. Plus, there's no REAL way to make money fast. It takes time and patients. P.S. Who ever made this guide...YOU NOOB... Thu Nov 30 2006 9:49PM

thechainsaw writes: DUDE....... this guide sucks! mining coal is a crappy way to make gold. Merchanting is the best(buying for low and selling for high). If ur a member, picking flax and spinning it to bowstrings is good. They usually sell for 150 each. If your woodcutting lvl is 60 cut yew trees. Or if ur fishing lvl is 50 or up, get swordfish and cook them and sell for 300 ea. Those ar all good ways to make money but I would reccomend merchanting. Fri Apr 07 2006 5:26PM

I ahve a friend who has a really high mining, and i have 88 mining, although it takes time to get your levels up, its worth it in the end. Tue Sep 06 2005 4:09PM

Xexima writes: the only good way of making money on this game is buying and selling. buy for cheap. sell for high. what i usually use to make money is silver because u can get noobs to sell u silver for 100-150gp a peice. save up 1k silver ores/bars (they both sell for about the same although u can sometimes get more for bars) and sell it at 300-400k! 300-150=150gp each. this really does work and that is how i made my 35 mil. if u can set up a chain of players to mine/smelt the ore (and even sell the ores fore you :O) than u can make a mil in about a week. since i no longer play RS i thought that i could share it with the world. Good Luck :P Mon Aug 08 2005 6:00PM

HzT0974013 writes: my main is combat lvl 63 but my minning is way way above 70 for me the fastest way to make money is to mine i usaully make 2k of steel bars a week !!!! thats (2,000 of iron and 4,000 of coal) however when i go to the bank which is near the minnig guild someone is usually buying coal once i sold 900 coal for over 250k but when i do make 2k of steel bars i sell them to total 1mil gp that is as high as i think most ppl will buy Tue Aug 02 2005 7:41PM

wavemaster50 writes: the best way to make money is buy selling lobbies, there the most popular fishand heal about 10 - 12. like wise i do alot of woodcutting but after selling alot the price seems to go down alot were as lobbies can always be sold for bout 200 - 250 gp ea. Thu Jul 28 2005 9:51AM

roleplay145 writes: Those who have lvl 60 woodcutting, yews are also a good way to make money, for miners and smithers, steel bars are good, but they take some time, but if ur patient you can get pretty rich. 100 bars is 50k, usually go for 500 ea never less Fri Jul 22 2005 5:24PM

luna-king writes: making lots of money as a member. At the village of seers there is a flax field behind party pete's palace. if harvest the flax you need to find a spinning wheel to put the flax into bowstrings then sell your bowstrings for 100 gp each. tip presented to u by Mojojojo54 Tue Jul 19 2005 2:18PM

mm_s0ldier writes: Sry to tell all u guys but the best way to make money even with a lvl 3 character with all its skills 1 is to market stuff... the best example is coal... its in high demand and ppl r willing to pay ridiculous prices... like 150-170 ea... this is where merchanting comes in handy... just look around for some ppl selling coal under 150 ea... buy them and resell for 150-170 ea... ofcourse u have to have some money to get started... but after that the money compounds and u earn more and more each time..

gillisle02 writes: I have been playing RS for somthing like 7 years, my character levels do not reflect it, but I have. The best think I have found, it raises smithing mining and crafting, is mining and smithing and crafting gold in Al Kharid. There are some nice mines there and in town there is a furnace and a bank right next store. And I sell my new jewelry to another town, I put it all in the bank and walk to another town, there I sell it. Sun Jun 05 2005 12:33PM

onlinedevil writes: while you're mining you can smith aswell and sell the items you make to the shop that sells and buys those items eg. swords to sword shop. (note: you sell items for less in the general store) Also, a good place to mine, smelt and smith is near Falador. Mine in the mining area to the south, head north to Falador and smelt your ore, then head further north to Dorics house and smith your bars, head south and sell your items in Falador and head to the bank to deposit your new money(or wield them) Wed Apr 13 2005 4:32PM

Karuji writes: Pfft that isn't quick and easy money. That takes forever and hardly ayone buys anymore. The easyiest money is training a character and getting high atk and str. Fill up with high food and potions and go pk or duel if you're a member. It's the easyest way to make and lose money but you should be able to learn how to win. In 1 day I made about 3.5mil staking and lost it just as fast. Sat Jan 01 2005 4:53PM

-Cky- writes: best way to make cash if you play classic you should fish trout and salmon they sell for 100gp each when there cooked you should fish about 300 each, the best way to do this is in edgevill cause the fishing spot there is close to its bank and the bank is close to a bed and close to a range, stove, whatever if you play rs2 you should fish 10,000 raw lobs which should take probably 7 hours if you play rs2 alot and make a post in the rs forums and after 30mins some rich guy says that he'll buy it for 2 mil and when your able to fish sharks they sell 600gp each if there raw and if you fish 10,000 raw sharks which also should take 7 hours you make alot of money I've played runescape for 4 years and im lvl 90 which means I don't play it alot but this is the way that lvl 100's get money its the best way to make money right now Thu Dec 30 2004 5:29PM

jamy1105 writes: the best way to make money is woodcutting. lvl 45 wc you get 100 each for the maples, lvl 60 u get 300 each for the yews and at lvl 75 u get 1k each for the magics. Wed Dec 29 2004 7:30PM
