Money Making Schemes

Nagesh answers:

Hi There,

My RuneScape username is K E R T Z, and I am pleased to announce the best money making ways in RuneScape without hacking or cheating. You may contact me at kertzthersking@yahoo.com or add K E R T Z to your friends list on http://www.runescape.com!

Members – Kill Green Dragons (level-79) in level 19 through 24 Wilderness. Go to Varrock Wild and head north until you reach level 19 Wilderness. Collect dragon bones, green dragonhides, and other items. Go to the Grand Exchange sell the dragon bones for 2.5k each, the green dragonhides for 1.5k each, and the other items, which can vary anywhere from 400gp to 9k each.

Nonmembers – Kill Hill Giants (level-28) in the Edgeville Dungeon. It is west of Varrock, and you need a brass key to enter it. Collect the big bones, limpwurt roots, and other items. Go to the Grand Exchange and sell the big bones for 400gp each, limpwurt roots for 600gp each, and the other items, which can be anywhere from 20gp to 2k each.

Notes – Potions would be a great help, as would food, and if you are going to kill Green Dragons (level-79), bring an anti-dragon shield.

Cash Values
– Green Dragons (full inventory) – From 40 to 130k each trip.
– Hill Giants (full inventory) – From 7 to 15k each trip.

Both of these work very well, as they only take about 10 minutes or less to get a full inventory. Which can rack up anywhere from 240 to 780k in an hour (for members), and anywhere from 42 to 90k in an hour (for nonmembers).

Kind Regards,
K E R T Z

If your talking fast money as in can you buy RS money, then no you can’t. If your talking about a way to make allot of money in a rather short period of time then yes, I do know how you could go about it. It’s called Merchanting. When I played back in the days, I mined about 10k ess. (essence) and made my first mill. After that I continued to invest my money by buying any amount of coal ore I could find at the cheapest price (being at the time, 100g) and sold it back into the market for ruffly 150 to 160gp. This method worked for me at the time but with the new trading system that now exists, you will have to adapt my method of merchanting to fit the new marketing system that is now in the game.

There is no “easy” was to make money on RuneScape, just “easier” ways than others. All will require some level of attention and a lot of time. There are 3 main ways to make money, without combat (I won’t bother with this – it’s a poor way to make money).

The fastest way to make money is through woodcutting. Get 70 (from cutting willows) and then start to get yews. Don’t get yews before 70, they’re too slow and it’s too competitive.

The hardest way to make money as a F2P player is fishing… Sure, lobsters are worth a lot and don’t require a good fishing level (ca. 50) but it’s far from a bank. Too far to make good money from it.

The best, but slowest way, is smithing. You’ll need some money in order to do this… Not much, about 100K. Buy supplies for steel bars, make the steel bars and sell them – EZPZ. You only need 30 smithing to do this, so it’s one of the lowest skill levels.

Here are some guides that can help you make some money as well as guide you in effectively training your skills. There are many ways to make money but these guides focus on Woodcutting and Mining.

This is a very good question with many different answers. I will vaguely touch on some of the different money making methods for members.If you would like more details on any one 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 you can even “free load” although this is unpopular with other players.
~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…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 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 stack able 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!
