Making Money the Easy Way With Different Skills
Hello, there dear runescape players. Every week I will try to write a new issue of guides. This is issue #1. These will have different info on skills, runescape updates, and much more. If you have any questions please email me at bradley.bussinessing@gmail.com Now, onto the guide part.
This guide will tell you how to make runescape money. There are hundreds of guides telling you how to make money in rs. So what makes this guide any different? This is different because I will tell you how to make money on many different skills! (Some skills are impossible to make any good money)
Mining: This my favorite skill to make money on but you do not really get a whole lot of money until you can mine at least iron. Iron is very underestimated on how much money you can make with it. It is always coal, coal, coal. If you have about 50 mining iron is almost three times faster to mine than coal. That is about a 75 gold piece difference for every 3 iron! That may not seem like much right now but once you get over a thousand iron it makes a huge difference seeing as you would only have approximately 400 coal which can lead up to as much as a 30000 gold differential.
The best place to mine iron is the Varrock mines. Which one you go to does not really matter because the banks are about the same distance from the mining spot. I would suggest the west side just because there usually less people there. However if you prefer the east side you can go there. If you mine at about the normal rate you should get about 400 iron an hour with banking. Then once you get all the iron you want you can go sell it and bring in the profits. Also, just because I am only writing about iron does not mean it is the quickest way to make money mining. Mining runite is a much faster way to make money. However most people do not have 85 mining.
Smelting: Smelting is also a very good way to make money. It is time consuming but is well worth it after you make one million gold pieces in as little as 3 hours. For this you will need to be able to smelt steel bars. This requires level 30 smithing. You will need iron ore and coal. If you can mine iron ore I would do that and buy the coal from the grand exchange or a good seller. If you have time though you can mine both iron and coal. Or you can buy both, whatever you would like to do. After you have the materials head to Al Kharid. Call out that you are hiring a smither. Tell them you give the materials. They just have to smith the bars. You can then tell them how much you will pay them for each bar. 50 gold pieces each is a fair price for each bar they smith. However there are many people who will smith for free, just to get experience. Once you get two or three people to help you give them around 50 coal and 25 iron. You may give more once they become more loyal and you are ABSOLUTELY sure that they will not scam you. Once they start smithing you can start smithing too, or go do something else. Just keep up this process until all your ore is gone. Now you can sell your steel bars at the grand exchange or sell them at the east bank in Falador. That concludes the smithing guide to make money.
Fishing: This skill is probably less boring then mining and smithing because you do not have to do anything while you are fishing. Hey, you can even be on Runescape Haven while you are fishing. The best way to get money from fishing is lobsters. Lobsters are only on the island of Karamja. To get to Karamja you have to get on the boat that takes you there from Port Sarim. Just bring 1000 coins and you will not have to worry about the money it costs to take the ship. Once you arrive head north to the fishing area. Start loading them in. You can stand there and chat or you could doing something else on your computer or maybe you could be reading this very guide while fishing. Once you get an inventory load you have to go back to sea from Karamja. There is no point in cooking them except for experience as cooked lobsters are worth less than raw lobsters. Once you get back at Port Sarim head to Draynor and put them in the bank. Keep doing this until you feel that you have enough to sell and make a good profit. When ready to sell lobsters head to Varrock or the wilderness. If going to Varrock you should find someone buying for at least 225 each. If not head to grand exchange or try a different world. Good luck becoming rich as a fisher.
Combat: There are many different ways to make money on combat. However they are usually slower than other skills so I would not suggest doing this if you are only it for the money. However it is useful because you are training your combat.
Option 1: This is the best option if you are a low-leveled player You can go to a farm and kill chickens. If you can go into the Champion’s Guild that makes things much easier. Start slaughtering poor, little helpless chickens and pick up their feathers and bones. Feathers can sell for 4 gold each while bones can sell for 50 gold each. Keep doing this and banking until you are tired of watching the same thing happen over and over again. Head to Varrock. Go below the west bank and offer all of your bones for 50 each. Once you sell all of your bones, head up to the grand exchange and sell the feathers for 4 each or whatever the lowest price is. You are then done.
Option 2: This option is for players with at least 25 combat. Head to the Edgeville ruins and go down the ladder. Make your way to a huge cavern with hill giants. Go kill them and pick up their big bones. If you are below level 40 combat I would suggest you fight conservatively so you do not get killed. Once you fill up your inventory go back out the cave and bank all of your big bones. Keep doing this until you wish to sell. Then you go below the Varrock east bank and sell them for 400 each.
Option 3: This option is only for players 60 and above. For this you will be attacking Lesser Demons. Although lower levels can kill demons I would not advise lower levels trying this because you will need food which will cut down the profits sizeably.The best place to kill lessers is at the wilderness by the muddy key chest. Keep killing lessers until they drop a rune med helmet. This may take a while but the helmets are worth 10000 gold! Once you get some rune helmets head back to Varrock bank and sell. This is the slowest option of the three.
Woodcutting: You will need to be able to cut yew trees, which take level 60 woodcutting. Once you can cut them though head to Edgeville ruins. There are two yews right there. Keep cutting them down and banking them. When finished head back to Varrock and sell at west bank or grand exchange.
Well, this is the end of the money making guide. Check RS Haven next week for another article!

how do i download a auto miner or wood cutter?
BobHappy Says:January 24th, 2008 at 7:52 am
To answer your question about autoers there are many sites that offer them. Just search it on google or a search engine. I would not download it because there is a high chance of getting caught. But if you would like to noone is going to stop you.

John Brown Says:February 27th, 2008 at 11:28 pm
Good guide, but primarily geared towards lower level F2P players. As a lvl 96 P2P with a 1250 total lvl, there’s alot I (or you, if you’ve got similar skills) can do to make money at a decent rate.
At 50 fishing (and 45 cooking) you can start on swordfish, which sell for about 250 cooked as they’re the best F2P food and one of the best P2P food. You’ll end up with alot of tuna, which don’t sell great, but there is a market.
Lobbies, as stated here, as well as most other fish, can be found in catherby on the shore, this is a very popular fishing area, and isnt very far from a bank.
Flax, and subsequently bowstrings, can be a great source of money, with flax selling for 75-80 each on the GE and bowstrings going for as much as 150ea, those who stocked up when prices are low might want to sell.
Woodcutting is a profitable exercise, easier now that the number of bots has plummeted. Yew trees are available just south of fally, and there are some mage trees (lvl 75 needed to cut) near the mage guild right near the PvP arena.
Always stick to the general motto of buy low, sell high, this requires some serious skill and luck with the pruices controlled by jagex, and is better suited to ecnomics analysts. It’s not easy, but it can be a source of some profit these days.
There’s alot of ways to make money, most of them become apparent of you just look around and check prices and demand on the GE (if something doesnt sell at all or within a decent amount of time, there isnt much demand, so trying to sell might be a bad idea, whereas if a buy offer doesnt complete at all or within a decent amount of time, there’s not much supply, and you might make some money selling that item, the opposite of both is true, ie: sell fast = demand is there, so selling might turn a good profit, buy fast = supply is there and t’s not a great idea to try to sell)
Thank you if you’ve read this far…

i’ve been playing runescape for a long time now, member and not a member i’ve had a lot of acounts on it but i just recenty learded a great way to make bout 40k. its a little time consuming but its worth it. all u need to do is mine mine mine.
arcangle111 Says:U mine copper and tin ore. THATS IT, surpriselying yes thats all to it. I’ve mined 250copper and 250 tin then smelted it. then i sold all of the bronze bars at the grand exchange for bout 160, or 150gp ea. try eather one. I made 39k from it.
It took me about 3 hours, to mine and smelt it, and it took about 5 mins to sell at grand exchange. it would of took me 1 hour, but i was on AIM and i was downloading things to my MP3. so if u have a high lvl mining and u need some cash do that. u’ll be suprised who will buy Bronze bars. lol
