| Effectiveness | Firemaking level requirement | Details | Other requirements |
|---|---|---|---|
| ***** | None | In some locations where fires are helpful but hard to come by, you can “sell” fires to the players there by bringing a tinderbox and some logs and offering to light a fire for a fee. A common location for this is the fishing spot at Musa Point on Karamja Island in free-to-play worlds, where few regular trees are found and there is no nearby bank. | |
| ***** | Level 5 | Cremating shades in the Shades of Mort’ton minigame not only gives Firemaking experience, but may also yield keys that can be used to get access to many valuable items. These include fine cloth, which sells for 10,100 coins and is used in making splitbark armour. Players with higher level Firemaking can make better profit from this as the higher level shades and pyre logs yield better rewards. Fiyr shades yield rune armour and weapons as well as occasional Level 3 clue scrolls. | 40 combat, Shades of Mort’ton quest |
| ***** | Level 40 | Kill vyrewatches and cremate their corpses (see the Shades of Mort’ton article to learn how to do so). They can only be cremated with teak pyre logs or higher, but cremating vyre corpses yields a Columbarium key, which can be used to get access to many valuable items in the Columbarium, including trimmed rune armour, snapdragon seeds and more. | High combat and Legacy of Seergaze quest |
Players of any level can easily negotiate the Stronghold of Player Safety between Barbarian Village and Edgeville in the Misthalin Training Centre of Excellence, all of the monsters en route to the end are non-aggressive. Upon the completion of the miniquest, players are rewarded with two skill lamps (each lamp is worth 500xp and can be applied to any skill regardless of level), 10,000 coins, Safety gloves and the Safety first emote.
It is tricky to navigate through the Stronghold of Player Safety, but the rewards are great. The high level monsters drop large numbers of runes and ore including mithril ore (noted) 3, and adamantite ore (noted) 1.
The reward may only be received once per player, however, if a player loses/drops their Safety gloves they can come back to the chest for a new pair.
Once completed, the Cockroach soldiers (level 83) drop Rune scimitars, Rune sq shields and dragon spears. They frequently drop crimson charms, which are used in summoning. They also offer decent training for higher levelled players.

edit Stronghold of Security
Rating: *****
If players are brave enough, they can attempt the Stronghold of Security in Barbarian Village. Food is recommended for players at all levels and even more for low-level players. (Note: For players with 100-150 lifepoints, Lobsters or higher are recommended). Raw trout and salmon are usually dropped by powerfishers near the Barbarian Village on most worlds.
After players have had their account recovery questions set and proceed through all four levels in the Stronghold, they will be awarded 10,000 coins and either; the Fancy boots, which are rainbow coloured, or the Fighting boots which have spikes on the end. Both of these boots have the same stats, so either pair is fine and based solely on preference. A good idea is to go to a busy f2p world, go to the trout/salmon area as many people will want to give the fish for free. If this is done correctly, a level 3 skiller can get the reward without dying once. Low level players are recommended to eat a food that heals 80+ lifepoints on the last floor because the monsters there can hit a maximum of 80 there accurately.
- This reward cannot be collected if you already have a pair. The boots may also be swapped at any time.
- The monsters in the dungeon get stronger as players descend from level to level, and are aggressive beginning with the second level. There are some “safe” spots on all levels where players can wait to recover their run energy and eat to restore their hitpoints before they proceed further.
- Some lower levelled monsters that are good to train on in the Security Stronghold include Zombies and Minotaurs. The zombies constantly drop steel arrows, body runes, and gems. The minotaurs drop iron arrows and noted rune essence and level 1 treasure trails clue scrolls(m) or pure essence (members only) which can add up in time.
- There have been reports that the random event occurrences tend to be increased in the stronghold, so training for a long time will increase the chances of getting gems and other random event items.
- Players may bank all their items and just sprint through each level to get the rewards easily.
- For members, once completed, the Flesh crawlers often drop high levelled herbs, which can be gathered and sold for a tidy sum.
- Another popular monster are level 82 Ankous found in the lowest level. These commonly drop death and blood runes along with adamant arrows. Additionally members sometimes will receive a level 3 treasure trails clue scroll as a drop.
Starting location: Stone-circle north of Taverly, speak to Kaqemeex.
Quest difficulty level: Easy.
Reward: 250 herblore experience points (enough for level 3, where the first potion is).
Quest points gained: 4.
Required Items: Raw meats of chicken, rat, cow and bear.
DRUIDIC RITUAL QUEST WALKTHROUGH
Kaqemeex: Ask him for a quest and he’ll tell you about the stone circle south of Varrock. He will tell you that the dark wizards once, many years ago, cast a spell on the circle and took it from the druids. He will ask you for help getting it back. Go into Taverly and speak with Sanfew (upstairs in the herblore store).
Sanfew: Sanfew will tell you that he needs four different meats for the potion. If you have the four meats, go a little south of Taverly, down the ladder and in to the first room to the east. There will be the Cauldron of Thunder. Use the four meats on it. They will now all have a blue-ish color.
Sanfew: Go back to Sanfew and speak with him. Go back to Kaqemeex and he’ll reward you. He will also tell you a lot about making potions and the skill herblore. This completes the quest.

Want to increase your magic level fast? Well then, pack your runes, and let’s get going.

Want to increase your magic level fast? Well then, pack your runes, and let’s get going. |
Magic is one of the most powerful combat types in Runescape, with attacks that deal high damage, as well as the ability to cast secondary non-combat spells that aid profitability, such as High Alchemy. However, Magic is quite expensive, as higher level spells go for about 500 gp a pop. With this in mind, I recommend that you have at least an air staff, and a fire staff as well if you plan to cast high alchemy en masse. For combat spells, the most cost effective is to use the air staff, however. Air runes are required for every combat spell, and cost about 15 gp each, so using an air staff with Fire Blast saves you 60 gp each cast. Using a water staff with the debuff (curse, confuse, weaken) spells will also save you quite a bit of money as well, and if you are p2p, a very cost effective way of training is to simply use a mud staff, which supplies both water and earth runes for spells, and to buy only body runes and cast curse. At 8 gp a pop, you get 29 experience, making for quick and cheap training. The only spellbook available to f2p players is the Modern Magic spellbook. Modern magic has many subsets: enchantment, teleportation, offensive spells, defensive spells, alchemy, binding, and transformation. Transformation and defensive spells are irrelevant for f2p players. Alright, as we’ve already explained, magic is quite expensive to train, and in the process of training to about 60 Magic, you will use up about 300k of runes. We will be using a method found by me to be efficient, and quite cost effective when getting to the higher levels. Levels 1-3: Wind Strike
Base xp per cast: 5.5 Wind Strike is the only spell you can cast at Magic Level 1, so that’s what we have to start with. Basically all we want to do with this is get to level 3 so we can use confuse. Levels 3-11: Confuse
Base xp per cast: 13 While slightly more expensive than simply continuing along the chain of strike spells, Confuse gives you quite a bit more xp, making it worth it. Once we get to level 11, we can simply go along to the next debuff spell, which is weaken. Levels 11-19: Weaken
Base xp per cast: 20.5 Here we go, just another debuff spell. Costs the same to use as confuse, but yields more experience. Just keep casting along here, until we get to yet another debuff spell, curse. Levels 19-35: Curse
Base xp per cast: 29 Yes, another debuff spell. But they are quite good experience up to a certain point. At which point, we will finally stop using debuff spells, and start using fire bolt. Levels 35-39: Fire Bolt - Max hit 12
Base xp per cast: 22.5 + 0-48 Fire bolt is the very minimal spell that you should attain before even considering pking, and only if you are a very low level. This is sufficient for people around level 20-30. It shouldn’t take too long to get to level 39, provided that you already have the runes required. Levels 39-55: Crumble Undead- Max hit 15
Base xp per cast: 24.5 + 0-60 Crumble undead, is undoubtedly the fastest way to train until level 55. It hits undead creatures hard, and hits high often, meaning that you can sometimes pull off even better experience than blast spells. One of the best places to train with crumble undead is in the varrock sewers. Once you get here, the road to level 55 is quite fast.
Levels 55+: High Alchemy
Base xp per cast: 65 High alchemy is the only real cost effective method to training magic past this point. Simply withdraw a large amount of a single item as a note, and place that in your 17th inventory slot. Then click on your spell list and select High Alchemy spell, once you click on it, it will automatically bring you to your inventory. Having put your notes in the 17th slot already, you do not need to move your mouse anymore. Happy training!

Ever wondered why elvemage was only around level 80 and could easily own so many other pkers without much difficulty? It was because he focused on mage and range, not everything else. Pures are players that train usually only 1 or 2 combat related skills to keep their combat level low and continue to be able to hit a large amount of damage.
In this guide you will learn how to make a mage / range hybrid (same as elvemage) except on f2p. If you follow the instructions right, you can end up with a character with 70 mage and 70 ranged and around level 50 combat for the low-level crater in Bounty Hunter.
The main idea of a range/mage hybrid depends on the magic required to bind and finish the prey off (with at least level 59 for fire blast, 16 damage max) or against warriors with armor that easily counters against ranged and the ranged to deal damage (fire blast is very costly).Let’s Get Started Then!
Start off by killing chickens in the chicken coops north of lumbridge with the runes and bronze arrows you already have. Pick up the arrows you drop because you don’t have many and pick up the bones as well. Do NOT bury the bones you picked up! With your remaining runes (hopefully you’re at level 3 magic or higher) cast confuse on the chickens or ducks.
Go back to lumbridge and ask for arrows and a training bow from the ranged tutor. Go kill some more chickens, and do the same to the bones as last time.
Now head towards Varrock and sell everything except your extra runes and shortbow, don’t forget to sell the bones which are worth around 80gp each at the time this guide was written. Use your remaining money to buy food on the Grand Exchange (preferably wine, trout, or salmon).
The Following are recommended steps to take in order to achieve 99 Ranged as an FTP (Free to Play) Player.
If starting anew, train each stat to level 3 on Tutorial Island.
Get Leather Armor (Hard body, Chaps, Vambraces & Coif), a Short bow, an Oak Short Bow, and Bronze or Iron Arrows to begin.
Start by ranging low level creatures (Chickens, Rats, Cows) from behind a fence until reaching level 20 ranged. (Switch from regular Short Bow to Oak Short Bow at level 5 ranged)
Get Studded Leather Armor (Hard body & Chaps), more Iron Arrows (if needed) and a Willow Short bow to continue. **Please note that if you have the financial means, you may now purchase a Willow Composite Bow, however, the slight increase in ranged attack does not sufficiently offset the noticeable decreas in ranged speed**
Head to either Barbarian Village or Black Knights compound. Take full advantage of the tables in each location to hide behind while ranging. Range until level 40.
Get more Iron Arrows wich you can buy or if you are a high enough level kill minotaurs in barbarian village if needed minitours are levels 12&27 (and minotaurs drop bronze full helms also wich you can sell to peksa the barbarian helmet salesman), Maple Short Bow, and Green Dragonhide Armour (D’hide Chaps, D’hide Vambraces, Coif and D’hide Body if you have completed Dragon Slayer Quest). Then fight white knights in falador until range lvl 60.
Purchase More Iron or Steel Arrows (depending on budgetary constraints) and head to Lesser Demons in Karamja’s volcano’s rim. Taking advantage of the rocks, hide and range lessers or go to the third story of the wizards tower and range the lesser demons. Range until reaching level 99. See the Tips below for what arrows to use at these high levels
Always use a Short Bow. Though Short Bows and Long Bows are statistically even, the short bow is drastically faster.
Always have plenty of food and arrows.
Find a Rock or a fence you can range behind to avoid suffering dammage.
Get a Maple Short Bow when you reach level 40. DO NOT now purchase or continue using a Willow Composite Bow. They are slow, and do not hit as well as a Maple, contrary to popluar belief. They do not wield adamant arrows either…
Some range armor has a defense requirement, but this only applies to the body. For example, green dragonhide bodies require 40 defense, but the legs and vambraces do not.
Green dragon hide bodies require that you complete the dragon slayer quest before wearing it or buying from the champions guild or wearing. You can still buy this from other players.
Wearing a Rune Chainmail body in lieu of a Green D’Hide Body has no negetive effect on ranging, and offers a drastic increase in defensive capabilities.
Wearing a rune full helm decreases your range by 2, though it does slightly increase your defence.
Rangers need Defence!!! Skills tend to go in matched pairs (Mining/Smithing, Fishing/Cooking, Attack/Strength) and Ranged is no exception.
if you are a member and your using the cannon, you can try using it on higer level monsters if you want some good drops.
Buy a bunch of red chinchombas and range zombie monkeys below the temple in the monkey madness quest for insane exp (200k per hour)(achieved via splash damage mostly)
If starting a new, train each stat to level 3 on Tutorial Island
It is recommended to use strictly Steel arrows starting in to 80s all the way to level 97.
Mith Arrows should be used for final two levels.
Addy arrows are not recomended, as their cost is highly prohibitive to training.
Pick up your arrows if they cost alot.
There is one, and only one, real way to make money on Runescape: by getting and selling stuff. The more expensive the item, the more its worth. Pretty much anything you can find and have on Runescape can be sold. An item on Runescape can be worth 1 coin, or MILLIONS of coins.
Unfortunately, to be able to obtain items worth millions, or even thousands, you have to build skills, and you’ll need coins! Everyone has to start somewhere, and the best way to start is by getting free stuff and than selling it. You can even save money if you just know where to look to get what you need for free.
Well, hopefully you won’t have to look too far. At least this article will make it easier for you to find ways to get free stuff.
Beg
Though this is the lowest thing to do out of the ways, it can work if you do it right. Begging requires patience, and the appearance of being poor, or a noob. Either one will be sympathized, usually. Here are some tips on begging:
- Dress in noob clothes and if you are a very low level, act like you’re new to the game. (being a level 3 works best)
- Act like you just died. It happens to everyone. Say you lost almost everything.
- The best begging spot is Lumbridge, because that’s where newbies begin and where dead people start all over again.
- Find a world that has a good amount of people, but it’s not overcrowded with newbies/beggars
- Don’t spam. Plea for money or stuff once a minute.
- Always accept whatever is given to you and say thanks! If it’s junk than just sell it at a general store.
Find Drop Parties
A drop party is a simple idea. A group of people, or one person, drops random crap on the ground. What’s an even simpler idea is how to get free stuff out of it! The types of items dropped in a drop party vary in value, but almost all of the time they are useful and can be sold for money! Drop parties are extremely easy to find: go to an overpopulated, crowded, bank. Just be in a fairly populated world and head over to Varrock, you’ll have no problem finding a crowded bank there!
If you don’t feel like fighting or working for free stuff, than just find drop parties. Drop parties aren’t made for everyone though, it requires a bit of time, patience and skill. Here are some tips to help you get the most out of drop parties:
- You’ll be looking for someone yelling Drop Party!!! or something like that. If you find someone that says that, STALK THEM.
- Once you have a target, watch the ground beneath them at all times. You have to be quick if you want to be able to get something.
- Stand in the same spot as them. That way you don’t have to run across the room to try and be the first one to pick up what they dropped.
- When you see something hit the ground, click click click! Chances are you are competing with other people, and the person that dropped stuff dropped more than one thing.
Kill
Ah, you didn’t think I would forget the most gruesome way of all to get free stuff, did ya? You can’t go through Runescape without killing SOMETHING. Fact: Everything you kill in Runescape drops something. Even if it’s just some bones or feathers. (People buy those too, you know?)
There are two types of things you can kill to get stuff for free: Computers or other players.
Computers- I don’t literally mean computers running around Runescape. Anything that’s not controlled by another player, is just a free roaming CPU. Goblins, cows, dragons, farmers, are all CPUs. Most of them you can kill too. (Oh I wish I could kill Romeo :)) It would take me forever to cover each type of CPU that you could kill and what they drop, so explore for yourself to see. If you are a low level/beginner, I recommend killing goblins. They roam all around Lumbridge, especially behind the General store. They are fairly easy to kill, and they drop really good beginner items, like bronze shields and swords, and goblin armor that sells for around 17 GP in the General store. Of course, as you become stronger and can fight harder creatures, they’ll drop more valuable items.
Other Players- If you venture into the wilderness or other various parts that warns you you’re about to step into an area where other players can attack you, be careful. It’s a dangerous, hectic, place and the chances of being attacked out of nowhere and dying are great. In fact, you’ll probably be fired at within your first five steps upon entering the wilderness. You have to be strong, with a good range of fighting skills, heavily armored, and fast! If you decide to do this, bring lots of food with you, you’ll need it. The good thing about fighting other players is they’ll drop really good and valuable stuff, since you only keep three items when you die.
Get It Yourself!
The reason for having so many different types of skills you can work on is so that you can get what you need by getting it yourself. Need willows for fletching? Go cut down some willows! Need some food? Go fish or cook! Need armor? Well, go make it than! If you are rich and would prefer just to take the easy way out, than go ahead and buy the things you need. But, if you’re at the other end, you are going to need to get most of the things you need for free because you can’t afford it. If you are looking just to make money, than choose a skill that you like and are good at and do it. Whether it’s armor, arrows, wood, or food, you can sell it to other players for money.
Steal (Members Only)
If you’re a member, you should definitely spend some time working on your Thieving skill. You can steal stuff that you don’t normally find from CPU drops, but don’t want to spend money on it either. Things like wine, seeds, food and weapons. All useful things that you can either use for yourself or sell for money. Just be ready to fight the Guards that protect the stalls if they catch you!
See, there are plenty of ways to get free items on Runescape. You don’t have to pay for everything! If you want to be able to get around Runescape, than you are going to have to hunt for free items.

How I got 10 million+ gp on Runescape as a non member
Money can be a huge asset in runescape. Instead of “wasting” time killing giants to get big bones, trying to get to 43 prayer, a rich player can simply shell out around 3 mil and get the required amount of big bones in a few seconds! This was how I got my prayer level up. Now many of you think that membership or high combat levels are required to get rich, but my account is only level 56, it is a non member and yet I have 9 million gp! How did I do it? This is a question I always get in game, and here, I will share my secret to becoming a rich non member, starting from scratch.
Skills = CA$H!
Skills are the way to gaining money on runescape, not combat stats. This guide can be used by anyone from level 3 to 126. I will not explain the different ways to make money since I have never used fishing/woodcutting and therefore do not know if they are profitable. However, mining and smithing got me well on my way to the path of wealth.
Mine Till You Drop!
Firstly, mine lots of tin and copper ores until you have enough to make at least 200 bronze bars. This will not take all that long and remember to keep upgrading your pickaxes everytime you can as they will save a lot of time. Smelt all the bars at once at al kharid and then head to varrock where you should turn them into whatever you can. Sell at the grand exchange or general stores.
Continue in this trend with iron ores and eventually steel. However, in my case, I mined and smith iron until my smithing level was 46, at which point I started making steel bars. Do Not Smith Your Steel Bars Until You Have Level 48 Smithing! This is very important! Just keep banking the bars and when you finally arrive at level 48 smithing, the money will start rolling in!
THE SECRET WAY OF MY SUCCESS!
