www.thersmmg.co.nr would personally like to thank you for viewing this guide.
I can assure you that you have made a wise decision. Ok I’m sure that you are dying to
start making money so lets get on our way shall we!Now naturally you can't just snap your
fingers or wave a magical wand and achieve millions of gold pieces. (although this would be rather nice, lol!) But, if you put a little time and effort into it, and follow this guide I can guarantee you that you will be rich (in Runescape anyway) and can purchaseany of those cool items you have seen everyone else wearing and trading. You know those ones that run around calling everyone “NOOBS!”
(Although for those interested we know of another company who can help you out. More on this will be discussed later. And now those secrets will be your secrets as well!!
To Make Money you Need Money!!
Plain and simple, just as it states! This is a simple rule in Runescape, before you can make BIG money you have to have some to start off with. Think of it as in real life; Do you think that Bill Gates woke up one morning with 5 million dollars in his bank account? NO, he started small and gradually made it BIG.
Chapter 1:
There are a few easy ways to earn your first 50,000 to 100,000 gp. After you have earned this starting cash we will then show you the secrets of getting rich. But first things first: The first, easiest, and most common way is to kill chickens .
KILLING CHICKENS?? ARE YOU CRAZY!
I know your probably laughing as you read this, but trust me....there is a demand for feathers, and soon enough you'll be laughing all the way to the bank! Members use feathers all the time for making arrows to raise their range or fletching levels. Simple enough right? Kill the chickens and collect the feathers. The chickens will drop between 5-15 feathers when they are killed. (If you are interested in raising your range or combat levels please refer to the combat/range/mage guides.) Listed below are the prices that people are currently buying for:
Free Worlds : 5-7gp each
Members Worlds : 10-12gp each
I know this may not sound like alot of money, but you have to think BIG. To make money with anything you have to sell in bulk amounts. If you are F2P (free to play player), then you should always try to sell in World 1, if World 1 is full then log into the next busiest world, and so on.
DO NOT SELL BELOW 5gp each!!
Many people will offer to buy your feathers for 1-3gp each. Be firm with your price!! If they do not accept the trade, don't worry about it, just keep collecting feathers and wait for someone who will buy them for 5 each. Having feathers in your inventory is like having Money in your pocket!! If you are selling over 1,000 (1k) of feathers then you should try to sell for 6-7gp each. (If you are a member you should always sell in units over 1k and demand nothing less than 10-12 ea.) You should keep collecting and selling feathers until you have reached 5,000-10,000 gp. This may take some time, but remember YOU need MONEY to make MONEY! Selling at 5gp each you can reach the 5,000gp mark, by killing approxi- mately 250 chickens (this is if they just drop 5 feathers everytime, but re- member they can drop 10 or 15 feathers as well). This is a great time to work on training your other skills as well...combat, range, mage, (early levels), prayer, and cooking. (You'll get a lot of bones and chicken meat.) Now here is the fun part! After you have made 5k-10k gp you should start buying feathers from other people while you are collecting them. Try to buy them at 1-3gp each.You will be surprised at how many people will sell them to you for this price. Why? Because they have know idea what you can actually get out of them. Buying feathers makes collecting them much quicker! Don't be scared to spend your money, because you are actually investing your money, as long as you buy them cheap.
Think about it for a minute.
If you can 5k feathers, and sell for 5gp each you have made 25,000gp. If you collected 10k feathers and sold them for 5-7gp each you would have made 50,000-70,000gp, get the picture?? (If you are a member you can easily get 10 gp per feather.)
Another thing you should do is check the forums on Runescape. (They are located on the main page of Runescape.)
If you are F2P you wont be able to post any messages, but you can still view the posts to find potential buyers. Feathers Buyers can be found in the Fletching section of the Forums. (If there aren't any posts from feather buyers don't get discouraged! Just keep checking every 10-15 minutes.) Since the players posting the messages are members, they will buy your feathers for 10gp each!! All you have to do is remember their name (I always write it down somewhere, lol) and then add them to your friends list. Contact them in the game and tell them you are selling feathers, and was wondering if they are still looking to buy.
Now all of a sudden your 5k feathers sell for 50,000 gp, and 10k feathers sells for 100,000 gp!!! As a free player!
Note: If someone replies to your post asking to buy, and you are currently out of feathers, be sure to tell them that you can get them for them if they are interested. This is a very good way to earn money, because you are in con tact with a buyer who more than likely is going to need more in a few days, if not in a few hours! Always ask if they will be needing more!
More Ways to Get Your Starting gp
Luckily collecting feathers is not your only option! (Trust me, I know how boring this can get!) Another option you may consider, is to mine Rune Essence. In order to be able to mine Essence you will need to complete the Rune Mystery Quest first. You can start this quest by talking to the King in Lumbridge castle. After you have completed the quest you will be able to teleport to the Rune Essence Mines. The easiest way to do this is to go to the Varrock Rune Shop south of the west bank. Here you can right click or talk to Aubury. He will then teleport you to the mines. Once you have mined an inventory full of Rune Essence travel back to the bank. Repeat this until you have 1k or more Rune Essence.
(Remember to always sell in bulk amounts .)
You can sell your essence for 20-35 gp each. You can also apply the same tactics to feathers once you get enough money, just be sure that you buy the essence for less then 10gp or so.
Members Options
If you are a member you have a slight advantage. Members can make an easy 50k to 100k per hour at a lvl 3!! To achieve this all you need is a knife and an axe. You will be making arrow shafts. All you need to do now is empty your inventory, keeping an axe and a knife only. Then just go start cutting down trees ( normal trees only!). When you get a full load of wood then use your knife with a log. On the screen that pops up, right click on the arrow shafts, and select " Make X ", then just enter the number of logs that you have.
Easy enough right. Depending on your wood cutting lvl, one round should take around 3-5 minutes to complete. When you fletch a log you will get 15 arrow shafts per log. So if you where to chop 200 trees, you would recieve a total of 3k arrow shafts . Arrow shafts generally sell for 5-10gp each. If you where to chop 666 logs you would recieve 10k shafts which you could sell for 100k gp!!
UPDATE: Many players have said that this is not possible anymore, it does take a little longer than some of the other starting methods, compared to last year, but IT STILL WORKS, you must have patience! If you find your self stuck with loads of shafts, attach feathers to them to make headless arrows, these arrows will sell better normally at 15-20gp ea., they just take longer to make, which means more time on your hands) it really depends on if you can find the right buyer. You will want to look for players raising there range or fletching levels, as they are in need of shafts constantly, many are lazy and rich, and don't want to take the time to make shafts themselves. If you find a buyer, they will need MORE later, keep them on your friends list and stay in touch with them, you may wish to offer them a discount sell for say 2 gp lower then the rest of everyone, this will ensure that they come back to you when they are in need. The best way to sell shafts is to post them on the forums You can keep making the shafts yourself, or to save time, you can start hiring log cutters to cut normal logs for you. Pay them 10gp or less per log. A good place to find log cutters is to advertise that you are hiring log cutters in the banks in free worlds. By spending the 10gp per log, you are investing your money , because eachlog will give you 15 shafts :
1000 logs x 10gp = 10,000gp (what you pay for the logs)
1000 logs x 15 arrow shafts/log = 15,000gp x 10gp = 150,000gp
As you can see you can easily turn 10k into 150k by doing this!!
In this chapter we have discussed how you can earn your vital starting cash and turn it into 50-100k gp. The following chapter will discuss how you can take this starting cash and start your journey to millions!
