Investing

Posted by: runescape  //  Category: Beginners' Guide

The two most important elements of investing are to be aware of prices and price trends, and also how recent updates or general trends in RuneScape are affecting the market. Following are some investment strategies. However, as with all investments, there is never an absolute guarantee for profit or loss!

A common misconception is that a good investing strategy is to buy items that are going up in price. It is true that this is sometimes effective, but prices always fluctuate; in other words, price increases are always followed by price decreases, and vice-versa. These often are of a magnitude of several days each, but can be longer. In general, it is not a good idea to invest in items that have already been going up in price for a long time; rather, invest when the price is still falling but when you think the price will start rising soon, or invest very shortly after the item has started rising.

Carefully watch the price of an item and sell it when the price starts going down or begins to level off. Ideally you would sell while the item is still going up in price, the day before the price reverses and item starts going down in price. However, it is not always easy to predict exactly when this will be. Players may want to explore the RuneScape Grand Exchange on the RuneScape website to examine price trends. Players may find the Grand Exchange Market Watch helpful, although the Grand Exchange Database can be even more helpful, and the prices are usually up to date.

Be aware that there are price manipulation clans which will artificially try to raise the price of certain items. They will continually buy an item until the price goes way up, then they will all dump the item, causing the price to crash. When the crash happens you will have no advance notice and you will be unable to unload your items even at minimum as the market will already be flooded. This form of manipulation is known in the real world as a “pump and dump” scheme. Be aware of this scheme and when you see a common item going way up for no discernible reason, be very cautious of investing in it.

Another good way to invest is to read the RuneScape news found in the homepage of the website, and look for new updates or hints of new updates. For example, the release of PvP worlds resulted in increased demand for sharks, swordfish, runite items, dragon daggers, Dragon scimitars, and other popular player-killing equipment and supplies. Those merchants who had seen this coming and stocked up on these items before the update would have made quite a substantial amount of profit. Another good example is rares: before the holidays, people like to buy Santa hats. They will almost always go up in price in the weeks leading up to Christmas, or at least the prices will fluctuate more. Richer people will buy some of these, and sell them once they go up. However, due to a popular perception that Santa hats would be worth the most on Christmas, Santa hats have been known to crash before Christmas as players’ expectations did not live up to the reality. In 2008, Santa hats started crashing several days before Christmas.

Those who want to do some very long term investing may not be concerned with small price trends, but rather should hold onto an item for months with the hope of a large profit. For example, dragon bones were worth about 1800 coins each in December 2008, but as of December 2009 were worth about 5000 coins each. Also, prices of discontinued items seem to reach an annual bottom in late March or the middle of April, but then rise during the summer.

However, if you are thinking of investing a large sum of your cash, it may be worth it to research the general price that most of the items will stop going up or going down at. If you don’t you may be at risk to lose large sums of money. Rares, however, exhibit very low trading volume, which makes them risky short-term investments. Unless very familiar with their price trends, trade in items that are in better supply than rares.

THE Runescape Walkthrough / FAQ

Posted by: cow  //  Category: Uncategorized

Easy money
Go to Port Sarim, west of Draynor village, and ask one of the people in the blue uniforms to go to Karamja and pay them 30 GP. When you get there, walk off the dock and you should see a house. Enter the house and talk to a man named Luthas. He will ask you to pick bananas. Answer “Yes”, pick bananas, put them in the crate, then talk to Luthas to collect your moderately earned 30 GP. If you would like more money in multiples of 30, ask him to get another 30 GP for doing the job again. Stay here for a long time if you need to spend several thousand on items.

Go to Port Sarim and do the banana thing and put a bottle of rum in the crate then go in and collect your GP. Then go back outside and to Port Sarim get a white apron and go get a job in the grocery store at Sarim. Search the crate in the back and take the rum and some bananas. Then go to the bar in Sarim, give the drunk the rum and then, when you are done, go up to varrock or someplace and sell the bananas.

Big bone Merchanting
Difficulty: Hard
Money Needed: About 300,000-350,000gp.

This is a common way to make even larger profits of money from merchanting and it is called Big bone merchanting.

To start (make sure you have around 300k), simply go to Varrock west bank and start buying as many Big Bones as you can for 300 each.

Don’t bother trying to buy over 1k or more Big Bones in a not-so-populated world, because most people will transfer to world 1 and sell there instead.

Once you have around 1k (or more) Big Bones, go to world 1, same bank, same place and sell all of them for 400 each!

There you go, although it can take a long time to buy all those Big Bones, the huge profits you can make should keep you quiet!

Coal Merchanting
Difficulty: Medium
Money Needed: About 200,000gp.

Another way to make large profits of money is by Coal merchanting.

First, go to Falador (a little west of Barbarian Village).+

Now, go to Falador east bank (next to Mining Guild) on an empty world such as world world 62 and buy all the coal you can for 120 - 150 gp each. Buy around 1k or more, depending on how much of a profit you want to make, then bank and note it all and transfer to world 1 (when possible).

Staying in this same bank, start selling all of your coal to people right outside the doors of the bank for 180 - 200 each! Once done, guess what? You’ve made yourself an easy 30-40k* profit!

*You should receive about 30-40k profit for about 1k of coal. Try buying more than 1k coal to increase your profit!

Combat levels, prayer levels, money, and good items
Get a Brass Key by any means necessary. You can find them far into the “dungeon/mines” of Edgeville. Go to the locked little house with a ladder leading down inside in between Varrok and the Barbarian Village. Use the Brass Key with the door providing access. Take the first turn to the left into a close room (with a gate) filled with giants (level 36). The giants give good experience, drop big bones (better for prayer than normal bones), money (up to 47 GP dropping at a time), and good items (steel and iron items, gems of all grades except for diamond, and all runes). Note: Bring a fly fishing rod and feathers to fish for some food when down there.

Death rune merchanting
Difficulty: Medium
Money Needed: 250,000gp or more.

A good way to make profits of around 100-200k very easily is to merchant death runes. Varrock is a good place to start this. Go to the runes shop (located on the map with an icon like this: ) in an empty world.

Now start buying death runes like crazy. Keep swapping worlds if the shop runs out. A good tip for this is to buy over 1k deaths to make the larger profits of money (recommended)

Now that you have over 1k of deaths (recommended), it’s time to swap to world 1, making sure that you are still in varrock. Now head over to the west bank once you’ve loaded the world and start selling the deaths you bought for 280- 300 each. Don’t go lower or you will not benefit from the larger profits.

As you may have noticed after selling the deaths, you’ve become a lot richer than before. Enjoy the extra cash!

This is one of the prime ways to make a lot of easy and quick money and can also be used in the same way on chaos runes. Just follow the same order (although you will get less of a profit by using chaos).

Easy money
First, to do this cheat you must have completed the mystery Rune quest (also must have air talismon). Then go to varrock and talk to the guy in the magic shop or talk to the wizard at the wizard tower(he is the guy under wizard tower in the basement) then they will ask if you want to be teleported to the place were you can mind rune essence. then mind 25 or 26 essence. Then go to world 16 and and locacte the air temple using the air talismon. Go inside and the people in there some will say open. right click them and press trade they will say offer 2k or more(k=1000’s) and you noted rune essence. then you offer the same ammount of rune essence unnoted. keep doing this and in about 25min you will have at lest 10k or 100,000gp.

Get your character’s mining level up to level 38 by mining iron, etc. Then, go to the Barbarian Village and mine coal from the rocks, which you can sell for 100 to 300 GP per piece. You will also occasionally find a gem (from least valuable to most, sapphire, emerald, ruby, diamond) which can be sold for good prices.

Once you are at level 40 mining, add a person named yodoo86 to your list. He always buys coal. Mine coal and sell to him for 100 GP.

Get your smithing and mining levels up to 40 and mine gold in the Lessers Pits on Karajama Island. However, be careful of the level 21 skeletons. There are five rocks, so on a good night when no one is on, you can hit them in a row making your trip very easy. You can usually get 25 gold ore that becomes 25 gold bars. Put them into certs and sell for 1k a gold cert.

Mine and smith until you are at level 20 at both. Make Bronze Bars and turn them into things at an Anvil such as: a 2-H, Mail Plate Body, Skirt, or Kite Shield and sell them at the market for good prices. You can also do this with Mithril, Runite (not Rune), Adamantite, Iron, and Steel.

Go to the house outside of Lumbridge and collect Iron Daggers on World 13. Also, defeat Goblins for items that can be sold or gold, which is common. Sell the daggers for 14 gold or less at the market.

Enter “Moneybags” on your friends list. If you catch him while he is on, he will give 1 to 900,000 GP.

Finding chasos runes
Go into the house east of the general store in Lumbridge kill a few men until on of them drops 2 chasos runes.

>From level 20-50, fish 1,938 Trout from the Barbarian Village or Shilo Village.
>From level 50-80, fish 20,942 Lobsters from Catherby or the Fishing Guild.

Lobsters sell for around 100-200gp each. At level 80, fish for Sharks and sell them for about 700-1,000gp each.
