This is from Johnny Yang who is a retired Runescape player. He shared some tips and tricks to us about money making in Runescape.
Game Introduction
Runescape is a massive multiplayer adventure, with monsters to kill, quests to complete, and treasure to win. You control your own character who will improve and become more powerful the more you play. This isn`t a game where everything that happens is pre-determined. What you do in the world is up to you! The game is multiplayer which means you will meet many other people in the world who you communicate and trade with. Make new friends and go adventuring together to stand a better chance against the stronger monsters. Perhaps you want to make your money trading valuable goods with others. Or if you like taking risks, you can choose to fight with like-minded people to try and steal their treasure.
Guide to money making:
1.Woodcutting -- Yews are a good idea, but try find a small world and beware, do not go into edgeville to woodcut, either falador south or varrock palace is good idea
2.Mining-- Mining coals is the best u can get out of mining. They are fast and easy and are really easy to sell. I recommend mining guild for doing coals.
3.Cooking -- Cooking can lose you money if you do not be careful. You won`t gain any money unless you have i would say about 66+ cooking. When you do have about 66+ cooking, i recommend you to cook lobsters. Buy them raw and sell them cooked. How much profit you want depend on how many you burn and whether you are greedy or not.
4.Fishing -- Fishing is a definant gain whether your fishing is high or low. However, i recommend you to be 50+ in fishing and member if you don`t like walking. If you don`t mind some walk, when you reach 50+ fishing, go karamja and start fishing lobsters. If you can cook them, cook because you earn more.
5.Prayer -- You do not gain money by prayer. However, you can sell dragon bones which is members for quite some money, however, i personally think it is a waste of time.
6.Firemaking -- You do not gain money with this skill.
7.Crafting -- It is hard to gain with this skill, but i will explain the way anyway. Unless your crafting is 50+ but recommended 70+ you cannot gain. Say if you are 50+ or 70+ go buy gems (ruby or diamond respectively) and craft them into amulets. Then enchant them to amulet of strength or power. Sell them for your cash.
8.Fletching -- This skill used and i repeat used to be the best money gainer. However, it is not anymore. Unless you are 70+ in fletching you cannot gain. Say if you are 70+, buy yews and bowstrings or get them yourself. Fletch them into bows and sell for your cash.
9.Runecrafting -- This skill is a good skill for money if you are member. If you are a member, you get your runecrafting to 44 and then get the puches which allows you to carry more essences. Then, you go to the abyss (dangerous but faster) or the altar (safe but longer) to craft your nature runes. Then sell for cash.
10.Smithing -- Unless you mine yourself and smith them, you cannot gain.
And even more: remember every gold counts and don`t buy stuff unless you really need it! Gook luck and have fun!
