Typically, common items that are traded (by merchants with the intention of margin profits on short-term price movements) are those that are also produced and consumed relatively frequently.

Those items that have a bigger daily price variation produce the most percentage (margin) profit for flippers, but are also, in turn, more difficult to buy in large quantities because of the low volume of trade. Note that the low volume of trade is produces the price variation in the first place. Thus, merchants who increase the volume of trade benefit on the current price variations but also end up reducing the future price variations by the very act of trading on the GE, eventually reducing profits.

• Arrows
• Steel bars
• Runes
• Lobsters
• Flax
• Big bones or Dragon bones
• Potions
• Dragon leather
• Seeds
• Barrows equipment — Be careful, since these are a favourite of price-manipulation clans. Don’t mis-read recent price changes!
• Rares—can be good for investing but not flipping, since the buy limit is two (2) every 4 hours.
• God wars items and other very expensive and weapons.

In general, players should try to sell when they think the price has reached an acceptable price. Items usually (with the exception of rares) do not rise in price forever — if you wait too long, the price will eventually fall!

It is worth noting that on 8 June 2009, Jagex locked the clan chats of several well known price manipulation clans, taking a somewhat firm stance against this form of trading, although no clear statements were made.

One clan trading strategy is “price manipulation”. It is analogous to collusion, which is illegal when done in the real world. While not strictly a rules violation (except in the forums, where posts to coordinate price-manipulation are strictly forbidden), most players consider it an unethical activity because the clan members benefit at the expense of other players, and often clan leaders at the expense of most of the other clan members.

The way this works is that a large group of players buy as many of a single item as possible, causing the price to rise over the course of several days. The players then sell back the item at the inflated price, resulting in potentially huge profits. This trick is magnified by the mechanics of the G.E., which do not allow a single player to purchase more than a certain number of certain item types per day (eg: 100 of every type of fur every 4 hours).

This collusion is a form of price manipulation and, while not formally against the rules (to date), is discouraged by Jagex. Jagex has stated that they can intervene as a last resort, “if we think price manipulation is going on, although the system has lots of safeguards to prevent that,” so there is some potential for Jagex to actively suppress an excessive rise or fall in price. In one case, leaders of a manipulation clan claimed that uncut emeralds had failed because they had reached a price cap and Jagex had released thousands of uncut emeralds into the game, but there was no evidence that this had occurred.

There is much evidence of the leaders of some price manipulation clans engaging in unethical insider trading, acting on information before releasing that information to the clan as a whole: stocking up on the item before announcing it to the clan in order to buy at the lowest price, dumping their own merchandise to get the highest price before telling other clan members to dump merchandise, telling clan members to continue buying when the item has actually failed (in order to support prices while the leaders sell). They may also make a false show of democratic process, acting like clan members have a say in the choice of item when in fact decisions are made by the leadership. In most public manipulation clan chats, the option for unranked people to talk has been disabled. Players often may message ranked people to answer questions, but certain types of questions are ignored.

Jagex has issued conflicting statements about merchant/price-manipulation clans. In one post, Mod Jon H stated that, “We don’t see anything wrong with merchanting [read: price manipulation] per se,” but cautioned that clan members had no way to determine whether their leaders were advising them in good faith or using them for personal gain. However, CEO Mark Gerhard later discouraged the practice: “I see merchanting clans as pyramid selling schemes, where, typically, only a handful of players actually make any money and everyone else loses money - just like real-life pyramid schemes. Because of this, we are not in favour of them in RuneScape, and try to warn players not to participate in them.” To date, however, there has been no obvious action taken to stop this form of price manipulation as a whole except, perhaps, where other rules have been violated. In fact, many players publicly advertise these clans at the Grand Exchange every day with no apparent consequence.

A lot of $$$ for members
For poor members try the hunting skill. Need a noosewand for it. Go hunting polar kebbits they drop pelts and meat.(good for feeding pet dog). put unneccities in bank at seers village. head northwest from there.hunter training area is on snowy spot. 10 kebbit pelts sell for at the grand exchange for 17k. That’s at minimum price too.

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 “new” member levels!
First head over to Varrok! Go towards the east bank. Before you reach the bank, go down! Just above the Meuseum. There should be a building! Go inside and, there should be dummies! Attack them! You can only get up five levels with them!

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.

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.

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.

Fishing
Fishing is a very useful skill, not only to make money, but for yourself to use. It can also help you with the above method, Dragon & Giant Slaying. You need a minimum of 50 Fishing until you can start making a big profit from this method.

>From level 1-20, fish 447 Shrimps from Al Kharid.
>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.

This new method will guarantee you making at least some money if not millions. Takes advantage of the GE to make things go very quick!!!!! F2P and P2P both!
Overview.

If you want to make millions with the new Grand Exchange, use this simple method.

Techniques
Techniques used include walking, buying, selling, conferring with other players while besmirching their profits.

How It’s Done

Listen very carefully. I mean very. If you don’t follow the steps in this order, you will become lost and will lose lots of money.

Put everything in your bank. Try to weigh 0 kg. Take out 1 gp
Walk to Varrock general store and buy a bucket
Walk to the cow pastures and fill the bucket with milk from the Dairy cow. The dairy cow is sometimes hard to find because (s)he is near all the other cows. But I have faith in you that you’ll be able to fine him/her.
Take your bucket of milk back to the Varrock general store. Sell it and buy Shears.
Go to the place where you completed the quest “Sheep shearer.”.
Sheer 15 sheep
Spin the wool
Sell the wool balls at the GE
Buy a bronze pick axe from the GE
Mine clay and sell at GE
the place near Varrock west bank has a great clay deposit (nearly 2 rocks)
REPEAT TILL SATISFIED
Profits
I have personally made like 1-2M off this method

Spread The Word

The more people that are doing it, the more money you make! Power to the people!

ver wanted to get rich in runescape but couldn’t figure it out?

You’ll walk around runescape seeing many people trading items for load of money, how do they get this money? Are they using cheats?

More than likely not, if you need to ask how people get so much money, then you obviously don’t know the common “cheats” that can be performed to get it.

There are no “cheats” in runescape, however there are easy ways to make a lot of money that people just don’t know about because they don’t know where to look.

This might suprise you, but getting rich is nowhere near as difficult as you think it is. For example, I can make a few million a day easily and you can too. It will take you a while to get yourself to that kind of level, but with practice and the knowledge that I can give you, you’ll be there in no time. I’ve revealed a few money making “cheats” throughout this article to get you started, the rest are at my website.

Two things that will definately help you on your quest to becomming a millionnaire is this, don’t waste your time begging and if it sounds too good to be true it probably is, i.e. someone is trying to scam you, so just walk away.

Most of the big time money making methods are only available to paying members of runescape.

However, on my website I discuss loads of amazing methods which also work for free players.

For example, do you know how to craft air runes? Most people do, however once you reach a certain level, you will make more runes per essence.
If you had 10 rune essence, at level 1 you can make only 10 air runes, but did you know that once you reach a certain level, you can make 100 air runes from just 10 rune essence?

And all you had to do to get there was level up enough. That means you’ll be multiplying your profits by 10, read that again, you’ve just multiplied your profits by 10.

That’s just one simple little runescape “cheat” that I can share with you. There’s many MANY more.

Here’s another one, as you know, the more you fish, the more your level goes up, but it also means that you will catch fish quicker.

Have you bee. selling raw fish? STOP IMMEDIATELY, cook the fish and sell them for a MUCH bigger profit, again, a simple little “cheat” that will help you sky rocket your profits. You may burn quite a few at first, but the more you practise the less you’ll burn and the higher your profits soar.

So for now, forget combat, yep you heard me, forget combat. Combat doesn’t bring you nearly as much money as a free player as making the most of your skills will. Combat is greta and all, but if you haven’t got the money to buy you that next wicked cool weapon, then whats the point?

Yes grinding out the levels to actually GET to where you can make a ton of money is a little teadious, but just think of how much you could be making.

I wish you all the best in making money in runescape and hope to see you at my website soon for even more tips.

If you are reading this, you should already be considered a millionaire. Now lets take a step further and ascend to the next level called Multi-Millionaire. Being a mutli-millionaire means that you have many millions, and thats exactly what you will have after reading this section.

Its not as difficult as you may think. You just have to have some patience and tolerance in this section, bceause you will now have people working for you, and you must rely on them for you to bring in the money.

Now if you want, you can still continue the tanning method as described in Section “400k-1M” or flipping Cowhides as explained in the last section. But we recommend that you read this new section and the new method it holds:

Starting a Business

The time to start a business is now! Why now? Well by now, you have an idea of the runescape economy, an idea of customer/supplier relations, and because you have the proper ammount of money.

Basically how a Business works can be explained in 5 easy steps:

1. You choose a field you wish to go into (eg: Ores, Logs, Hides etc…)

2. Choose specific items in that field.

3. Hire workers to supply you with those items.

4. Decide on a fixed price to buy those items that your workers supply and store them in your bank.

5. Once you have a bulk of that item, search the forums for someone who will buy them for higher than what you paid your workers for them, which should be easy since you are paying your workers a small ammount.

Here is an example of a set-up business using the business layout above:

1. Ores

2. Iron and Coal

3. 10 Workers Hired. 5 Workers will get me Iron. 5 Workers will get me Coal.

4. I’ll buy at Iron at 60 each, spending a total of 600k on Iron. I’ll buy Coal at 130 each, spending a total of 1.3M on Coal. Total Spent together: 1.9M

5. Found buyer on forums. Sold 10K Iron Ores at 110ea, totaling to 1.1M. Sold 10k Coal Ores at 210ea Totaling to 2.1M. Total made - 3.2M! Profits: 1.2M!!!

As you can see, the previous business layout (which you can use), is a very profitable one. You can get Iron and Coal for those prices because miners who are focusing on their mining level and want some money also will think that 70ea or 120ea for Iron and Coal is a lot of money. The higher level players are always buying Iron and Coal in the forums since those are the main Ores used to level up Smithing fastest.

Lets talk about the business layout in more detail.

1. Business Field

The first thing you should think about before starting a business is what field to go into. Be sure to go into a field that provides a profitable gain. Hot fields of business are Ores, Hides/Leather, and Logs. Now you need to decide which items from that field your Business will specialize in. For the sake of better explaining, we will assume you are headed into the Ore Field.

2. Items to Deal

Once you have chosen your field, you need to consider what items in that field your business will specialize in supplying to the higher levels. You need to consider which items are in hot demand, easy to get a hold of, and can sell for a good profit. For example, if you choose to go into the Ores Field, Iron Ores and Coal Ores are good item picks because they are easy to get since they’re the top picks for Miners training their mining levels and they are in hot demand since they are the basis of gaining high smithing levels, making them easy to sell. And most importantly, they generate EXTREME profits!

Similarly, regular logs and yew logs are good in the Logs Business Field because they are easy to get due to the players training woodcutting and easy to sell to members training fletching or just making arrows. So it’s best to know what item is hot in each field if you want to have a business that brings in big profits.

3. Workers

In a Business, you are not expected to gather all the materials. You hire workers who get the items for you in large ammounts, and you sell them at a higher price and get profits at large ammounts. So the success of your business and the amount you make depends on how reliable and productive your workers are. At first hiring workers may sound difficult, but if you try, you can find workers very easily and quickly. Know where to look for your workers. For workers to gather Ores, its best to go to the Al Kharid or Fallydor East Bank since there are Iron and Coal mines near. Start typing “Hiring workers, pays well, add me for details.” Be friendly but firm with your workers. Be curtious to them, but set a minimum ammount they need to supply you with daily/weekly if they wish to keep their job. Otherwise your business will lose productivity (amount being bought and sold) and the rate at which you make profits will be drastically slowed down. Since you are just starting out your business its best that you not exceed 10 workers, because more might become difficult to manage this early on in your business.

4. Pay

Have a firm set price for your workers. Be sure that the price you buy the items they supply you with is below what you are selling the supplied items for. The best thing to do is give them a little more than the minimum street price for the item. For example, if the usual minimum amount people pay for Iron Ores is 50ea, pay your workers 60ea. This keeps them loyal to your business because they think they are making more than the street price. As long as you are happy with the profit you make, you can pay your workers and buy from them at whatever price you wish. Right now we recommend you buy Iron Ores at 60ea if they are being supplied by workers. Give them a bonus of 5k-10k once in a while and say something like “This is for your good work” to keep them motivated and loyal to your Business. It also helps to have a website where your workers can check pay, work that needs to be done, and times you will be most active to buy from them. Since you should have 2M if you are reading this section, you could for example, pay your workers 60ea for 10K Iron and 130ea for 10K Coal, which will cost 1.9M. Then sell it to someone who will buy the item in bulk. Since the workers are gathering the materials for you, you yourself could log in say once a week and you’d still make millions. You just log in that one day and buy what they gathered, and not have to log in again for the rest of the week! This depends on how reliable your workers are and if they will be on with the items when you tell them to. So really pick those workers wisely! Fire some if they’re not being good! You could also do some of the methods stated in the previous sections while you wait for your workers to gather the supplies, and make even more money.

5. Selling Supply For BIG Profits!

Once your workers have sold you a lot of the items, say 10K of each, you are ready to sell them. As long as you sell the item for more than the low price you paid your workers, you can make a profit. To look for a buyer, go on the forums and search for “Buying *blank*” under the field your Business is in. Then you could PM them in the game and work out a price. So now say you have the 10K Iron and the 10K Coal you bought from your workers. You could sell 10K Iron Ores at 110ea, totaling to 1.1M. And you could sell the 10k Coal Ores at 210ea. Totaling to 2.1M. So in total you made 3.2M! Thats 1,100,000 GOLD in profits! Using that money you can keep buying more supplies from your workers and keep selling to buyers at a profit. You can experiment with any Field you wish and with any item you wish, but so far being in the Ore Business Field buying Iron and Coal is the fastest and easiest way to making millions. If you can make that same deal stated above another 2 times, then you end up with 5M and are ready to move on to the next section!

Whew! Now that you are past that first 100k, wipe off that sweat and relax! You have made it past the hardest part on your quest to becoming a Millionaire! Its all smooth sailing from here on in.

From this section and beyond, we will focus on making quick, smart, and profitable business deals. No more do you have to do manual labor by having to run other people’s Rune Essence or walk around collecting feathers! The time for business is now!

In this section, you will learn a method to turn that first 100K and quadruple it to 400K! We will use the term “K” which stands for a thousand from now on because adding those extras zeros in the back is ridiculous. If you have at least 400K already, I would recommend you go on to the next section. If not, please continue reading on how you can QUADRUPLE your Gold!

Making Soft Clay

You wouldn’t think something so straight-forward and simple could generate such profits, but it can! This method is called Making Soft Clay. Whatever you may call it, make no mistake that it brings in large profits! The method is ideal for the amount of money you currently have.

To start off, proceed by heading to the Grand Exchange. If you already have 1000 Clay Ores, then go to the next paragraph. Trade the Exchange Clerk and offer to buy 1000 Clay for about 100 GP Ea. You should have some money left over, if not, its okay. Now that you have spent 100K, don’t be scared, because once your are done with this method, you will quadruple that first 100K! If you can, try to also purchase 1000 Jugs of Water. If your offer isn’t immediately accepted, you have to get the jugs yourself.

Now bank everything in your inventory and everything you have equipped to make the rest of the process easier. Once you have the 1000 Clay, the first thing you want to do is go to the Gnome Copters with only 1000GP in your inventory and nothing else. Here are the steps to take in order to get 1000 Jugs of Water.

1. Trade this guy in order to access the ONLY F2P General Store that sells Jugs with water ALREADY in them!

2. Buy an inventory full of water, which should be 27 of them since you have one slot for money. The jugs are only 1 GP each!

3. There is a Depositing Bin right across from the Gnome guy General Store. Head over there and deposit all your Jugs of Water.

4. Repeat the process until you have deposited 1000 Jugs of Water! Before you would have to buy regular Jugs from the Fallydor General Store and bank them, then worry about having to fill all of them up with water. With this method, you’ll be done in no time.

Now, head over to any bank and withdraw 14 clay and 14 jugs of water in your inventory. Click on one of the Jugs of Water and use them on one of the clay.

A little menu will appear on the chat box area. There you will see a picture of Soft Clay. Right click on it, and select “Make All”.

Now, all the clay in your inventory is turning into Soft Clay! Keep doing this until you run out of jugs of water. Then just refill your jugs with water and finish turning all the clay into soft clay. And Viola! You have 1000 Soft Clay!

Guess what? These soft clays can be sold at the grand exchange for about 180 GP EA! And what’s more is that members buy them very often, because it is something they use to gain fast EXP for their crafting skills. So you won’t have to keep your trade up on the grand exchange for long before you are loaded with GP!

Congratulations, you just made your first almost 200K!

You’re not done just yet though. Remember, we are aiming for 400k in this section. So here’s the game plan. Use that 180k and reinvest it into buying 2K clay at the Grand Exchange. Once you have the clay, turn them into soft clay using the method above. Then sell those 2K soft clay that you made and… BAM! 400K! It’s as easy as that! You have money to proceed to the next section!

If you’re concerned with the ammount of time it will take to buy the clay and make/sell the clay, perish the thought. It can all be done within a few hours easily! Turning 1k clay ores into soft clay took me about 50 minutes, and doing the same for 2k clay took me less than 2 hours! We recommend that you stick to this method to get to 400K, as the profits are phenomenal.

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!

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.

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.
