How to Make Money in Runescape

There are thousands upon thousands of ways to make money in Runescape. Some methods work well, others, not so well. Some methods bring in so little money that I don’t even consider them a way to make money. Others, how ever, can make loads of money and fast. That is what everyone looks for, isn’t it? How to make a lot of money in little time. Well, as you know, I have spent years in Runescape and I have heard a load of different theories of Runescape.

With all of these Theories, you can’t help but make your own. I have, in fact, developed some really great methods, tested AND used by me. The methods you will be reading are methods that I know work. (and no, it’s not going to be the same information used over and over, such as the cowhides.)

Methods to make money in Runescape
One of the most basic and rewarding methods I can think of is what I like to call hording. It can be applied to Fishing, Mining, Wood Cutting, Runecrafting, and many more. Let’s say you want to apply it to fishing. So, you begin fishing, As you gain levels, you also gain a lot of raw fish. You keep storing all this raw fish into the bank. Most of the lower level fish is not going to bring a good profit. Lobsters bring a great profit, Swordfish even more, and sharks a lot more. So, after you reach level 76 you can then fish sharks, but what’s this? Your bank is full of thousands of Tuna, Lobsters, Swordfish and the rest! So, now you sell. You sell your whole stock of fish, you should have a nice pile of money by now. It can take a long time to make money, but if you stick at it you will be rich in no time.

Most methods will take a lot of time. As for the ‘quick’ methods, these usually do NOT work. To get rich, you have to be determined. So if you are looking for super insanely instant money than I am afraid you are going to end up with dead ends everywhere. No money in Runescape is fast, some are faster than others, but for the most part it is going to take hard work to make money. All the pros on Runescape had to work for what they got. So, if you want to be a Pro as well, then work hard. If you work hard for a long time, eventually you can stop and just sit back and enjoy what you have. After you have money, you can then work on your construction level (if you’re a member that is..) and when it’s high enough, you can have a HUGE mansion of a home.

I am going to list some methods really fast without going into detail, taking you step by step will just bore you, and I believe that the best way to make money is to make a method your own. That is what I did.

1. Yew Longs:

I suggest you have these stats:
Crafting: 10
Runecrafting: 44
Mining: 1
Magic: 55
Fletching: 70
Woodcutting: 60

Now, just make a lot of yew longs and high alch them. Or, simply sell all the items needed to make them.. Here is your Outcome:

High Alchemy + 2,000 Yew Longs = 1,360,000 gp
or

2,000 Bowstrings = 400,000 gp
2,000 Flax = 200,000 gp
2,000 Natures = 440,000 gp
2,000 Yews = 660,000 gp
Total = 1,700,000 gp

Selling all the items is a little more money, and using the Grand Exchange can help you find buyers.

2. Flax:
Just pick 1000 flax, sell for 100 ea. Easy eh?

1000 Flax X 100 = 100K gp

3. Bowstrings:
Either buy or pick 1000 Flax, then spin them into Bowstrings. Sell for 180-200 ea.

1000 Bowstrings X 200 = 200K gp (If you bought them your profit would be 100K.)

4. Cutting Maples: 1000 Maple Logs X 100 ea = 100K gp
5. Cutting Magics: 1000 Magic Logs X 1000 = 1M gp
6. Cutting Willows:

1000 Willow Logs X 30 = 30K gp

7. Steel Bars: (Need 2000 coal and 1000 iron ores.) - 1000 Steel Bars X 500 = 500K gp
8. Iron Ores: 1000 Iron Ores X 50 = 50K gp
I could go on and on with methods, as you can see, I have a lot. These were just very basic ones that I know work.

What’s Wrong with Buying Gold?
Some players buy gold from websites. I DO NOT think this is right. For one, it’s ILLEGAL. It goes against the rules of Jagex and no doubt, if you are caught you WILL be banned. Jagex monitors what goes on in their game.

Don’t you think it is a bit obvious that you bought gold when someone random that you just met hands you millions? OF COURSE! Pretty easy to get banned isn’t it? It is a lot better to make the money yourself, without the risk of loosing an account, and even better is the feeling you get after you know you did it yourself. I know a lot of people out there agree with me. Cheating in any form should not be in this game. That is why Jagex tries real hard to stop these cheaters.

I have reported several websites that I have found claiming to sell Runescape Gold. Jagex is not trying to be mean by setting these rules, they are trying to keep the game fair and look out for their players. Are you really going to trust your credit card information with someone who SAYS he is going to give you money in game? I don’t know about you but I think that is down right scary! Jagex has their rules for a good reason, every one of them! Therefore, if you’re thinking of buying Runescape gold, I suggest you stop and think for a moment. Is this really how you want to make money in Runescape? To me, it’s not even making money! It’s more like cheating! Think of all the people out their that work hard just to see someone get millions of gold without having to work a second. Yeah, think about that before you buy Runescape Gold.

People who use cheats are lazy and should not play the game in the first place. Working for what you have is half the fun. (And showing off is the other half. Haha.) Happy Playing.
