Money Making Schemes

Nagesh answers:

There are a lot of ways to make money fast. The easiest way to do it if you are just starting to play is to finish the Rune Mysteries Quest and then start mining rune essence. If you are a low level miner, this can take up to three minutes to get a full inventory, so you can go make coffee or go to the bathroom while your doing this, so you can multitask. If you keep doing this, sell when you have 200-2k rune essence. Each sells from 20-30 gp, and always try to offer 30gp. At 2k rune ess, that gives you an immediate 60k.

If you’re mining level is 30 and up, you should consider mining coal to make money. Prices for coal are immensely higher than rune essence, but are harder to mine. Each piece of coal sells for 100-300 gp. I would reccomend storing coal until you get 10-100, as people often buy in bulk for higher prices.

If you have a fishing level of 40 and up, and a cooking level of 40 and up, you will be able to fish for and cook lobsters. The best place to go for non-members (and the only place to go) is the karamja island dock. There is no competition here unlike mining, so you can easily get a full inventory of lobsters in 10 minutes. Lobster fishing is slow once you start however, and at level 40 fishing you catch one every 30 seconds. Once again, store up, as players buy in bulk often. Lobsters are in even more demand as coal and can sell for 350 to 200 gp each.

Those are the main ways I make money. There are a lot of different ways, but those are pretty good to get you started, and I don’t want to use up the entire page. =)

As for the Adamant and black gold, those are gold trimmed armors. They are worth a lot ( 100-300k per plate) and you really shouldn’t concern yourself on getting one, they have the same defense values as regular black and addy armor. They are only for the rich classy people who want to show off rewards from treasure clues (mini-quests)

Its very illegal according to the rules so do not do it but the way they get so much money is they use bots

so what they do is make about 100 characters and dont even bother leveling up the combat but they mainly just chop wood and mine ores. Once they have use the bot to get a high enough level they start having the bot chop down magic trees and then they sell them.Or they can be mining runite or gold or something special. Then when you have 100+ guys doing that simotaneously you eventually get things to add up.

A bot is a hack that is against the rules. It will do all the work without you being there on the computer. I have seen some forms of them in real life. One I saw was the magic mouse which you could tell the mouse what color to look for on your screen and it would randomly search the screen for that color and if it found it it would click it. So you dont have to be there for mining or wood chopping because the mouse does all the work

usually companies go more advanced than that and they will have programs that not only do all the work for them but also when they get a full inventory they will drop everything off at the bank. Pretty cheap yes.

So if you ever see a level 3 wearing the basic clothes and face and not talking just continuously working. You know its a bot and you can report the name. Many bots get banned because they are very easy to detect but also some get away becuase people are lazy or Jagex is too busy.

Dont do it. Play the game faily its more fun that way anyways. Why brag about getting so much money if you cheated to get the money in the first place. Its the whole point of the game. Its not worth playing the game if your going to skip every part of the game just to get to the top.

This is a very good question with many different answers. I will vaguely touch on some of the different money making methods for members that I have made millions using. If you would like more details on any one method please feel free to contact me either in game or via yahoo. I do NOT know f2p moneymaking as it is a quite different game.
…1)Non combat skills
~Fishing~ Sharks, and monk fish, Fishing trawler for Manta ray and sea turtle
~Hunting~ polar kebbits, carnivorous chinchompas (stackable)
~Farming~ Grow Marigolds, ranarr, snapdragon, spirit weed and toadflax.
~rune crafting~ is almost always profitable (You can kill Banshee’s for noted pure essence a lot faster than mining for it ) If your not high enough for laws or natures there are worlds where you can run these for others.
~Cooking~ Tuna Potatoes, curry stew, and pizza’s
~Thieving~ cave goblin wires from Dorgesh-kaan.
~construction~ Make Teletabs via Lectern in player owned house.
~Mining~ coal is slow but pays very well. If you are high enough Adamintite and Runite.
…2) Using Combat
~Dragons using Melee or Range.
Green dragons in the Wildy or in the chaos tunnels,
Blue dragons in Edgeville dungeon, in ogre enclave,
and there is one in legends guild.
Black dragons with 70+ ranged or Kill them with protect from Melee (this cuts into profit as your using prayer potions though this can be minimalized by using prayer saving armor)
~Chaos druids, Unicorns, Moss giants, Vampires, White wolves, Cockroaches, Jungle spiders, Iban Disciples and Avanasis are all good monsters to fight for profitable drops.
*If you’re not interested in the prayer experience you can always kill and sell the bones. Ourg, Daganoth. Raurg, Fayrg and Dragon, sell best but even regular bones sell well.
** A fast way to big money is PKing but this is a risky endeavor. You can loose just as well as win. Remember there is always someone bigger and meaner than you… So you are liable to loose more money than you win. The more you risk the better your pay off its all on how gutsy you are.
…3) Slayer~ In general Slayer monsters pay well. Consider the food you use an investment. Most assignments drops more than pay for the food needed to fight them. The possibility of receiving a rare drop makes them even more enticing.
…4) Merchanting…( I DO NOT RECOMMEND USING MERCH CLANS) watch the prices on the exchange then buy popular items when low and sell when high… There are several items you can buy in shops all over Runescape then sell for profit at the exchange, but as most of these are not stackable this can take several runs. Pineapples, seaweed, vials, bolts of cloth, Sacks, baskets, dyes, tinderboxes and Battlestaves are all examples of items that can be bought in stores all over Runescape and sold on the exchange for more.
… 5) There are several quests and diary’s that are well worth the effort.After doing the Throne of Miscellania (and Royal trouble) quests,You can get your kingdom workers to gather resources that can be sold.
…6) You can collect Snape grass, Mort myre fungus, Planks, White berries, Potato cacti, Flax,Red spider eggs, Blue dragon scales, and Swamp tar. All these sell well.
…7)Clue scrolls are a roll of the dice but they have the possibility of large payoffs!
… 8) You can hang out at the Falador drop room… I find wearing a ring of wealth helps (this is controversial)… It’s just up to luck what you can get and how fast you can get it.
…9) Diversions and distractions… Penguin hunting can make as much as 104k a week and Shooting stars can give you 106 k a day in runes coins and ore.
…10) Try not to return to a bank with empty inventory and always pick up stackable items. Even if an items not worth much its worth more than an empty space in your pack. You can always drop an item if something worth more is available.
……The thing is the game is designed to take time (which is why my answer is so long).. Your suppose to have to work for it. Jagex does a good job of making sure there are no quick ways to fast cash! I answer this same question for a lot of people, often they want to know which one is the best method. There is no best method. They are all good solid ways to try out and figure which one YOU like the best (my personal favorite is chaos druids and slayer)… Remember the point of the game is to have fun. So find the one you like, sit back relax and enjoy!

Depending on your level, merchanting is diferent.

If you want money fast you need a lot more money, possibbly over 10 mil for merchanting.

Because the more something cost the bigger price range, usually.

But if you become a member, fighting dragons is good (pick up the hides or bones or even both)

fighting chaos druids

and a simple way is (i call this skill merchanting)

you buy flax and spin it into bowstrings then sell the strings. You will also train crafting.

You might be able to merchant whips.

What i would do is:

buy a whip for low
fight dragons or find another source for making money (this is to make money while you wait for the whip to buy, then sell the whip for higher then you bought it)

keep repeating.

Nagesh answers:

Well, I have two. Green dragons and Black Dragons:

Green dragons have the highest constant money per hour rate. At 395k an hour, it’s a bit higher than red dragons, which come in second. These rates are from meleeing them in the Chaos Tunnels, not the Wilderness. Your combat level’s high enough to slay these monsters, and you can find a detailed guide to it here:
http://forum.tip.it/viewtopic.php?t=716694

Black dragons have a lower money per hour rate. Quite a bit lower than Green Dragons, at 172k an hour. And that’s if you range them (which is what I recommend). However, there is a chance of getting a visage drop from them, which will make you an immediate 17M.

‘s your choice if you wish to take your chances and go for a visage or have a constant income and slay Green Dragons.
