Heavy Rod Fishing
 
One of the first tasks Otto Godblessed will set you is to use the rod that he keeps under his bed to catch one of the fish in the lake to the east of his hut. These fish are more difficult to catch than you might expect, as they leap about in the water and use their impressive vigour to fight against the pull of the fishing rod.

Because of the nature of these fish, you will find that you need more than just an angler’s cunning, and you will need use the weight of the rod and your reflexes to catch them. In this way, fishing with the heavy rod will earn experience in Fishing, Strength and Agility.

You will need to use bait to catch the fish in the lake, and you may use any of the following:

- Bait
- Feather
- Fish parts
- Roe
- Caviar

If you lose the heavy rod you need to catch these fish, you can find another by searching Otto’s bed. Fishing spots for the fish below can only be found in the lake next to Otto’s hut.

Fish Fishing Level
Required Other Levels Required Fishing Experience Strength & Agility
Experience

Leaping trout 48  15
15  50 5

Leaping salmon 58  30
30  70 6

Leaping sturgeon 70  45
45  80 7
 
Once you have caught one of these fish, you can use a knife on them to cut out the roe or caviar and to get fish parts. Fish parts can only be used as bait, but as it is stackable, it is a good way to carry on Fishing without having to worry about running out of bait. You will receive 10 Cooking experience for gutting a fish.

 
Roe and caviar can be used to enhance potions, which Otto will teach you to do. Click here to find out about barbarian potions.

Fishing Without a Harpoon
 
One of the more impressive feats barbarians have learnt is the ability to use their own arm as bait for larger fish, and then using that same arm to wrestle the fish out of the water. It takes a bold fisherman to thrash their arm about, waiting for a shark to come close…

You need a Fishing level of 55 and a Strength level of 35 to begin Fishing without a harpoon.

level your ranged level in Runescape fast

Posted by: cow  //  Category: Runescape Skills

Want to level your ranged level in Runescape fast? Here’s how.

Ranging is one of the best choices when pking. Rangers hit high-damaging attacks in quick succession, and hit over and over again. Their disadvantage is that they are lightly armored, and take heavy damage from other rangers, and armored warriors as well.

Here’s your guide as to the quickest way to level ranged in the f2p world.

You will generally want the best equipment available for your level, and a large supply of bronze/iron arrows. Iron or bronze because it is the most cost effective way.

Note that there is a bit of an overlap between the selections of monsters. It’s generally the player’s choice when to move on to the next set of monsters.

Level: 1-15

Monster: Chickens

This is the best start for ranging, as chickens will not damage you, and you can sell the feathers for about 5 gp each. Each chicken drops about 5-15 feathers, and they sell fairly well on the Grand Exchange. There are chicken pens south of Falador, and north-east of Lumbridge. You can train prayer from picking up and burying their bones.

Level 11-25

Monster: Cows

Cows work pretty well until level 25. They are fairly good xp, and you can train prayer from their bones. I wouldn’t bother with the cowhides, it’ll slow you down too much. There are cows at both the crafting guild, and north-east of Lumbridge.

Monster: Monks

Another option is to go to the monastary, and kill monks. They are north-west of barbarian villiage, just south of Edgevile. You can heal using them, and they are good experience. Can train prayer on them as well.

Levels 26-40

Monster: Barbarians

Barbarians are in barbarian village. In the hall, they spawn along with food. Stand behind the tables, and farcast. This is fairly good exp, and this is how I got up to 40. It gets slow after 30 though. It is near a bank, which adds to convenience.

Levels 36-60

Monsters: Edgeville Guards

They are located at Edgeville. You simply step over the wilderness ditch, and you can range them with impunity. This is generally the fastest f2p spot to train ranged, and it is seldom crowded.

Another option is to go the stronghold of security and kill the level 27 minotaurs. They drop iron arrows fairly frequently, so you can sustain your training indefinitely there, and are good experience up to level 70, or you can go to the Varrock sewers and kill moss giants.

Levels 60+

Monsters: Lesser Demons

After doing Dragon Slayer, you can go down to Crandor and kill the lesser demons there. Once you get them non-aggressive, you can range them with impunity, as there are several safe-spots.

Well, that’s all!

The Easiest Runescape Money Making Guide

Posted by: cow  //  Category: Runescape Money Making Guide

A simple and easy to understand money making guide on the famous MMORPG, Runescape. Worth reading if you want your hands on that last piece of armor.

Runescape, an online playing game with the monsters, people to interact with, weapons, armor. The usual for an MMORP game. But to take advantage of people, it is necessary to get better weapons, better armor, and better accessories. But how do you get them? Money of course! GP. This guide is going to show you how to make that extra amount of GP to get to that last piece of rune armor or anything you want but is a mainly non-member money making guide. It doesn’t matter if you are lvl3 or a lvl45. Here is how you are going to start!

0gp-45,000gp
Okay, here is how you start and don’t bother killing goblins an stuff if you are low lvl to make your money. This is the simplest trick but do require a bit of patience. Head over to barbarian village in world 1 or 3. But try and avoid the barbarians unless if you are a higher lvl than them since they are aggressive to lower lvl people. There is a fishing spot to the east of Barbarian Village just over the bridge that takes you to Varrock. People fly-fish cooked or raw trout and salmon over there and often give them away for free since they are lvlin their fishing or cooking. Your job is to bank as many as you can. Bank them at the Edgeville bank north of Barbarian village. Not a far walk, about 30seconds or so. Get about 400 cooked trout and 200 cooked salmon. Each cooked trout should sell for around 70gp and each cooked salmon should be around 80gp and if you are lucky enough some people buy for 100gp ea in. Sell them in Varrock or Edgeville bank. This should leave you with around 45k.

45,000gp-100,000gp
Okay, now head over to Fallador in world 1 o 3. People sell coal here and you can attract a lot of people with coal you sell or buy. Buy as many coal ore as you can for around 140gp-150gpea. That’s what I did. And then sell them for around 180gp-200gp ea. Suppose you bought 293 coal ore for 150gp ea with 44k and then sold them for 190gp ea , that’s is a whole 11,670gp profit! Keep doing this until you get 100k.

100,000gp - ?gp
Now since you have 100k, here is when the big money comes in. IT TAKE BIG MONEY TO MAKE BIGGER MONEY. Remember that. Stick to coal since that is one of the best way to make money WITHOUT going around places. Do the something as I said in making 45k-100k above. Why? Here is why. If you have 100k and bought coal for 150p ea and sold them for 190gp ea, that’s a whole 26k profit you get there! Ain’t sound much? Well the more money you have, the bigger your profit is. Or if you are getting bored of coal, you can do the same thing on yew logs buy them for 250gp ea and sell them for 300gp ea. Iron ore, buy for 80gp ea and sell for 100gp ea. Lobsters, buy for 200gp ea rarely and se for 250gp ea. But I recommend coal since you make the most profit out of it. If you are bored of standing in one place you could try some of the options below.

Iron Ore and above
Okay, the is one of the, THE best skills to make money. You can make your money from lvl 15 all the way up. Lvl 15 you can get iron ore which sell for 100gp ea, lvl 30coal ore which sell for 150-200gp ea. But if you want to make quicker money, you GOTTA get it to lvl 60. That’s when you can get into the mining guild through a short cut from Fallador. There are some 34 coal ore and 5 mithril ore. Mith ore sells from 350gp-500gp. Adamant ores sell for 1k-1.2k ea and rune ores ell for 10k-12k ea!

Normal logs and above
This to is a good skill to make money. Even at a low lvl. Normal logs sell for 15gp ea, oak logs sel for 20-30gp ea. Willows I’m not sure but around 50gp ea? Then at lvl 60, you can get yews which members buy from 300gp ea! Sell normal, oak, willow at Draynor Village bank. Yews at Varrock.

Steel bars and above
Smithing is a good skill again….Steel bars sell from 500gp-600gp ea. But lvling it is pretty hard because you have to mine the coal to bank and the other ore which you need to make you kind of armour or weapon which takes a long time and patience if you are a non-member. Again I’m not sure about member.

Killing
Big Bones, Big Bones give a good amount of exp for prayer. Big Bones sell for 300gp around. You can kill chickens to get feathers which people to buy for around 5-10gp ea.

Tip: Always have a calculator with you so you can work out if you are getting ripped-of or not.

Hope this helps everybody out!
