==>Free Runescape Money List<==
Money-making is something which requires time, efforts and sometimes even money to start with. For some people, it's easy to let the millions roll in, and for others, it's a great achievement to see that '100K' on your coin pile. Well, there are many skills in Runescape which, when used effectively, can bring in money. The aspects or skills which can be more fully utilized are: 1.Combat
2.Runecrafting
3.Crafting
4.Mining
5.Smithing
6.Fishing
7.Woodcutting
8.Fletching
9.Herblore
10.Thieving
11.Arbitrage (Merchanting)
Hereunder, I will explain how to manipulate these skills. You may find that only a few, maybe even one or two, will actually suit you.
Depending on your level, the skills mentioned may or may not suit you. This applies to ALL skills.
1.Combat:
If you are a high leveled combat, there are some monsters which drop good items, though they are scarce and the place would usually be quite packed (Hence more of the tendency for KSers, or Kill-Stealers, who are people who basically just walk in and take your monster that you were waiting for to spawn and then kick you out of your spot. Also there would be an increased chance of having arrow stealers, who are a pain in the butt, but I do pity them for having to resort to stealing arrows. Arrow stealers are NEWBIES, so DON'T become one.)
Some good Free-To-Play (F2P, a terminology I will use a lot in this guide) monsters which are good to kill would be Lesser Demons (level 82), found in Crandor predominantly. Moss Giants (Level 42) are another good monster to kill, and they can be found in the depths of Varrock Sewers and Crandor. Good Pay-to-Play (In other words, members, but I will refer to you lot as P2P) monsters are Fire Giants (level 86), as they drop really good items (I had a haul of many rune scimitars, and it's possible to get a dragon med helm and dragon half shield from them. Big bones are another good item to get from them too.) They can be found in Saniboch's dungeon (The new Karamjan dungeon, where the metal dragons are found) or Baxtorian Falls (After doing Waterfall quest. This is the best place to get them.)
If you are a low-level and are thinking about using combat to gain money, I suggest you train at Barbarian Village . Believe it or not, it is very easy to gain levels there, the monastery is not even a minute's walk away (but you need 31 prayer to get in) and there is a limitless food supply there. Once you think you are done with this, I suggest going to Hill Giants (level 28) next. They drop big bones, which are very good for prayer experience, and for members the limpwurt roots are a bonus (for herblore - strength potion), and hill giants can drop iron and steel items. The third step would be to seek and mutilate Moss Giants (level 42). These also drop big bones, but they have better drops; such as Nature rune, uncut gem, black square, magic staff, mith sword, steel kite and steel bars are some examples. Remember that if you want to get to them in the Varrock sewers, you need to bring a weapon with 'slash' attack (to cut through the web). After 'Mossies', the final monster you should progress to is the feared Lesser Demon (level 82) They are one of the best monsters in Runescape, in my opinion. What you do is fish a load of lobsters or swordfish on the deck, cook them, proceed into the dungeon, genocide the lesser demons, who can drop rune med helms (which sell for 10k to other players or high alchemies for 11,520gp. Yes, that is why people buy rune med helms for 10k each.), up to 200gp, gems and consequently dragon med helms and shield halves.
As you can see, being a P2Per is very beneficial in terms of using Combat to earn money, and this applies to many other skills too. A big thing in being part of the P2P community is the bonus 'Clue Scroll' drop. Also known as treasure trails/hunts, these are like mini-quests which take you to places in Runescape (and sometimes throughout and all over the place) step-by-step until you get your prize; and these prizes can sometimes earn you a lot of money - Especially the Level 3 Clues which can give you Rune Trimmed, Gold, God and Gilded armours, and other good stuff in it. Of course, bear in mind that you can only have one Clue Scroll at a time, and Level 3 clues are very challenging! (A lot of it can be in the Wilderness, and many of them require access to places you can only go to during or after you have done hard quests, e.g. Regicide Quest or Legends Quest. Puzzle boxes are a pain if you are not good at it (and many people are not good at it), and plus there are the Saradomin and Zamorak Wizards to take care of when you do these clues.)
2.Runecrafting:
Runecrafting is a great way to make a bit of fast cash, if you know how. Normally the alters are a pain to find and the best alters (i.e laws, nats, and deaths) are usually quite far from a bank. However if you are a mid to high leveled player that is willing to take a chance in the wild and looking to make a quick buck this could just be your ticket. On the 13th of June, 2005, Jagex came out with an update, The Abyss, which became a fast way to make higher level runes thus vastly increasing the profit coming from the runecrafting business. It is possible to craft 10k essence in about 8 hours or approximately 1 days time. I myself have done this many times.
3.Crafting:
Unless you are a hardcore, lucky non-member miner, crafting is useless to you in terms of earning a lot of money quickly. Like runecrafting, members greatly benefit from this skill as opposed to free-players. With crafting, the common items to make are enchanted battlestaffs (which high alchs for 9300gp each - you can make a million gp a day with these, and I'm not kidding).
Battlestaff making is commonly known as Battlestaving, and what you do is you buy battlestaffs from Zaff (In varrock. The first staff costs 7,000gp, and the next 4 of them costs slightly more. Just like all items you buy from shops. I'ld bring 50k just in case.) Zaff stocks up 5 at a time, so people who wish to do battlestaving usually world-hop to buy staffs. After getting the amount of battlestaffs you want, you will need glass orbs. If you buy them, you don't actually make money (assuming one nature rune is 300gp), so make the glass orbs yourself (Bucket of sand with Soda ash (use seaweed on range) and use them on a furnace. Use Glassblowing pipe with the molten glass, then make glass orbs. 46 Crafting required). With the glass orbs in your inventory, you must 'charge' them. This charging is done at elemental obelisks, and you require specific Magic levels for different Orbs. The easiest one is Water Orbs, 56 Magic required, you need 30 Water Runes, 3 Cosmic Runes The Water and Fire obelisks are found in the Taverly dungeon, all the way in until the Black Dragons. Head west of the black dragons to find the Fire Obelisk, and head upstairs (onto the small island south of the Catherby Fishing Shore ) to find the Water Obelisk. The Air and Earth Obelisks are found in the Wilderness; the Earth one is in the wildy portion of Edgeville Dungeon, and the Air Obelisk is located just north of there, beyond the Black Demons and up the ladder. You should surface at about level 5 wilderness.
Crafting dragonhide bodies (you don't earn as much with these unless you obtain the hides yourself) is a good method of earning money too, but you need over 60 crafting to be productive in this. Another method used mostly by lower levels is the picking and spinning of flax. It is fast, easy, you get a bit of crafting exp for spinning them and plus they're worth 100gp each (over that amount if you have more than 1k usually). Gems are another merchandise, so if you can mine them (gem rocks or not), they sell for good prices, however they are time consuming to get, and it is rare for people to buy cut gems. Leaving them uncut means you do not get experience at all - just money.
Then, of course, there are bars. Steel bars sell for 550gp to 600gp each (depending on amount), mithril bars at 1,000gp each, addy bars at 2,000gp and upwards each and finally the famous pretty runite bars, at 15,000 to 18,000gp each (and I have had buyers for 20,000gp each even.)
At 25 herblore, there is a herb you can identify called Ranarr Weed! This is a very popular, high-in-demand herb. When IDed, these herbs sell for 3k to 4k each. Once you reach 38 herblore, you can make one of the most popular and 'sells-like-hotcakes' potions is the Prayer Potion. It restores prayer, so if you're fighting a big mean monster and your prayer is running out, all you need to do is take a dosage, and you'll last for a bit longer. Prayer potions sell for 5k each, so you could buy ranarrs, and then sell the potions at 1k to 2k profit. Alternatively, if you know of people who have 38 herblore and/or upwards, they (at least, most of them) will trade prayer potions for your ranarrs. This is a win-win situation for both yourself and the herblorian.
