This is the last section before reaching your first MILLION GP! Excited? You should be. We have two methods to making your first MILLION GP, the first one about running Oak Planks using your home servants (members only), and a Cow Hide Tanning Method (free players). Both are ultra secret methods tested to guarantee that you will be well on your way to making millions! Enjoy!
The table below lists the different methods we have compiled for your utilization on the path to 1 Million GP. Click on the method for a detailed guide. (Scroll down a little to see the table)

Many P2P think making money is an extremely slow process. Well, in some cases it is. To be honest, so did I. Then, one day, I decided to get out of my money slump and do something about it. To use the method to make over 150k in one hour, you need 40 construction, if you already do, skip to the next paragraph. If not, I EXTREMELY suggest either getting lvl 40 or using the table to see how much you can make. At lower levels it may not be worth it. Please note, this may not make sense yet, just pay attention to the money per hour at the end of the chart.
(you can click the chart to view a larger image)
NOTE: The prices for this chart are for the price of 440. For the cook, for each 10gp over or under that, add or subtract 9.6k to the gp per hour; for the butler, 12k per hour; the demon butler, 15.6k. Also, if the price per plank goes up by 80 or more (520 ea or above) the demon butler will be a better option for making money. Finally, even though you use more logs for the butler and demon, it still takes the same amount of time to use them all. Don’t think making the 6240 planks takes any longer then the 960, it doesn’t. You use more because they are faster then the cook, but the cook is cheaper per log.
Instructions
To begin making your money, you will need money. For example, if you are using the butler and plan to work 15 min, you will need 600 oak logs(18k gp if 30 ea (600*3)), and the cost of the sawmill fee and to pay your butler(207k). Total 225k. Buy your oak logs, note them all, and bring the money (I would bring 230k just to be safe) logs(noted remember), and 20 of the logs unnoted to your house. I now suggest going into your most empty room so your butler has nothing to get stuck on.
Now use your 20 unnoted logs on your butler and select “Sawmill”, then type in 20. In 10 sec your butler should return. He will give you your planks. Now, use the planks on the butler and tell him to send them all to your bank.
Congrats! You have just mastered POH plank running! Now to continue (remember you just used your unnoted logs) select your noted logs and use them on your butler. He will ask you if he shall return them to bank or un-note them. Select “yes”. In another 10 sec he should return with your logs. Use them on your butler and select sawmill again. In 10 sec he returns with planks… tell him to take them to bank. Then un-note 20 more logs… send to sawmill, then to bank… and continue for 15 minutes or until your logs are gone and have been turned into planks. After 15 minutes you have spent 230k L… but, when you then sell your 600 planks on the G.E. for 440 each….. You get 264k! That’s 34k in 15 minutes!
Now fasten your seatbelts and prepare.. the next is one biiiggg paragraph. Note: You do NOT have to read this part. This just explains the chart above. I put it at the bottom because the chart is relativly easy to understand. If you want to have a description, read on, but BEWARE!
Now to explain the chart. The first column speaks for itself, the level and name for each butler.
The second column tells you how much a each servant charges per item when making planks (does not include sawmill fee of 250), sending items to bank, or un-noting them. To use the butler method, you are paying 31.3gp per item he takes. So one 20 item inventory costs you 626 gp (he doesn’t charge you directly; every 8 inventories or so he charges you 5k). This IS included in your total profit, so don’t go thinking that you will be getting less because of this. You will still make the complete 160k per hour even with this fee.
The third column tells you how long it takes the servant to complete a full load (un-noting, then to sawmill, then banking). The butler takes 10sec for one inventory, so he takes 30sec for full load of planks. The cook takes 20 sec for one invin, so she takes 60sec for a full load of planks. The demon is very fast, he takes 5sec per inventory, so he only takes 15sec to un-note, sawmill, and bank.
The fourth is straight forward… that is how many items the servant can take at one time.
The fifth column is how much in total you spend per plank. For example, the butler spends 250gp on the sawmill fee, then you spent the 30gp on the oak log, and finally the butlers fee of 31.3 for each trip; un-noting, then sawmill, then planks to bank. For a total of 31.3*3 = 93.9. So for each plank you spend a total of 374gp. This includes buying the log, paying the butler, and paying the sawmill.
This then ties into the sixth column. In this, it shows how if you spend 374 per plank to make it, then sell it for 440, you make 66gp each plank. For an inventory of 20 (his max) that’s 1320gp. To get the 2640 per minute, you find that if it takes him 30sec for a complete load, you get 2 complete loads per minute.
After finding the gp per minute, you look into the final column. To find the gp per hour, we take the 2640 and multiply by 60.
Well that’s it! You can now work for 15min and make 34k with the butler! What’s that? You say what about the cook? Well, the process and chart is exactly the same. Say you want to work only ¼ of an hour (15min). Just divide the last numbers by 4. You’re making 21k in 15minutes and buying 240 logs. Multiply the cooks total cost of labor (remember the cost of logs, sawmill, and servant fee) which is 350 each, and the number of logs to get how much money you will spend in total. 84k is it. Now to figure out how much to bring, have only the 84k in you inventory and buy the 240 logs. However much you have left is how much to bring. If you’re buying the logs 30 ea, 7.2k is the amount on logs, so you’ll bring 76.8k with you.
