Money making guide

This money making guide is a list of ideas that players may want to use to make money. As a warning however, keep in mind that the RuneScape economy is continually changing. Therefore, not all of the information given here will be 100% accurate. Also, although these methods have worked for some (or many) players, they are not guaranteed to work for every player. Often times making money is about having luck, working hard, and using resources. The ideas expressed here will hopefully help players.

Rating scale
Different star ratings are relevant to how quickly money can be made.

Somewhat slow. Only recommended for players with little money making experience.

Good for players who need a little bit of cash in a small period of time. There are more effective methods for a long-term investment.

Solid for nearly all players.

Very quick for purchasing items worth hundreds of thousands of gold points, although high skill levels are usually required.

The ultimate money makers. Some of these require investment and experience with merchanting.

Overview
Mining is frequently used among lower levels as a way to make money. Mining essence became less popular among players when Jagex introduced pure essence, but still works to make money. However, many higher levels and/or members abandon it in search of faster methods.

Tips
Level 1: Rune essence can be mined. It sells for 20-30 gp each. It is easy to mine because it is only 1 click on the essence rock to fill one's inventory.

Level 15: Iron is probably the easiest to mine, yet one of the most demanded ore compared to other ores. Non-members can mine Iron easily at Varrock's South-East, or South-West mines.

Level 30 (members): Pure essence can be mined quickly and sell for 80 to 100 coins each. Pouches from the Abyss help collect more per trip. The best place to mine them is from Yanille if you have level 66 Magic. Note that this is a material that is very easy to sell in Falador and Varrock East Bank. 1000 can be mined in about an hour, and that can sell for 100k to some members. This means that 1m+ can be made in about a week, depending on time spent on RuneScape per day.

Level 40 (members): Gold rocks can be found in Tzhaar City and in the Karamja volcano. The Gem seller in Tzhaar buys gold ore. If you do this repeatedly, you can locate the weapon seller and buy expensive obsidian armour or weapons, or the gem seller to buy an onyx. Alternatively, mine the gold elsewhere, such as the Arzinian mines. Karamja gloves 1, 2, or 3 are necessary to make money from this.

Level 55: Mithril ore can be mined at level 55 and can be sold for 400 coins each to other players. This is very limited for non-members due to the fact that there are very few places to mine it. The Mining guild contains 5 Mithril rocks and is close to a bank making it perhaps the best place for free players to mine it, if he/she has 60 mining. If one doesn't, other places are the west Lumbridge Swamp Mine and various mines in the Wilderness.

Level 60: Mining coal at the Mining Guild is a good way to make money at this level. Coal sells for about 150 coins to 200 coins each and mines very quick because the Mining Guild is right next to the Falador East Bank.

Level 70: Mining Adamantite ore in various places, such as the Hobgoblin Mine (Level 30 Wilderness), the west Lumbridge Swamp mines, or the Grand Tree mine can make a profit of 1500-2000 coins each.

Level 85: Mining Runite ore in deep wilderness (beware player-killers), or other possible locations for members, can make a profit of 9,000 to 11,000 coins.

Overview
Probably the fastest money maker at high levels, it is a good idea to train this to make massive amounts of money in the long term. However, getting to around 90 smithing can cost a lot of money or take a lot of time. Overall, not incredibly good for money making in the short term, but amazing if you stick with it long enough.

Tips
Level 15 (members): Players can either buy or mine iron ore and make them into bars, which sell for 200 and up. Even though free players can do this, there is no profit, as a ring of forging is members only. Rings of forging are necessary to make money from this.

Level 70: (Optionally 43 magic): Buy adamantite ores, coal and nature runes. With a fire staff, superheat or smelt them into adamant bars. Adamantite ores peak at 1.5k each, while coal and nature runes are at a stable price of 180-200 and 300 each respectively. Adamant bars peak at 3.5k each. This method could fetch a profit of 500 coins per bar made. As for the rate of superheating, 500 per hour is a modest goal. This translates to 250k per hour. Members with level 70 smithing could also use the blast furnace in Keldagrim to smelt adamant bars. By bringing 27 adamantite ores to the blast furnace and coins to buy coal from Ordan, players need only three coal for each bar, rather than six. This method can earn 1000-1500 coins per bar.

Level 86: A player can make money by buying rune bars for 10,000 to 13,000 coins each, or making them from buying rune ore or mining it at 85 mining, and smith them into rune axes, which can sell for 19,000 coins on members' worlds.

Level 91, with 69 fletching, 60 woodcutting, and 10 crafting (members): Obtain rune bars and smith rune crossbow limbs and fletch rune crossbows, which sell for about 25,000 to 35,000 coins each. A player will also need yew logs and raw beef or sinew to make them.

Overview
Some players think that at 76 fishing they will make their fortunes, but realistically it is very slow and it can take a long time to make even 100k gp. The macroers make this an even slower money-maker, driving the prices of fish down significantly (sharks were 400 coins each at one point). However, lower level methods, such as lobsters and monkfish, when done at high levels, are somewhat fast.

Tips
Level 20: Players can sell trout. Trout can sell for about 50 coins each. The places closest to a bank are Barbarian Village and Shilo Village.

Level 30: Players can sell salmon. Salmon can sell for about 80 coins each. The places closest to a bank are Barbarian Village and Shilo Village.

Level 40: A very common money maker is fishing and selling lobsters. A Player will earn more money selling raw lobsters on members' worlds and cooked lobsters on non-members' worlds.In F2P a player will earn about 20k per hour with lvl 54 fishing. Raw lobsters (bought by players attempting to raise their cooking levels) sell for around 250 coins on members' worlds, and 200 coins on non-members' worlds, while cooked lobsters more often sell for 200 coins on members' worlds and 250 coins on non-members worlds. Karamja and Catherby (members) are two of the most popular spots, although there are others. One of those places is in the Wilderness. However, there is always the risk of getting Killed, so it's best for a player to make sure they're in a low-populated world.

Level 62 (members): Players can fish monkfish at the Piscatoris Fishing Colony. Monkfish tend to be faster than sharks, even at high levels, and, when cooked, they sell for 300 to 400 coins each. Players have to complete the Swan Song quest to do this though.

Level 76 (members): At this level, one can fish Sharks. Since it is very slow at this level, it may be best to wait till level 80-90. Sharks can be sold for 800+ coins each. Raw ones tend to fetch higher prices compared to cooked ones due to the high demand by rich players who want to raise their cooking level quickly. Sharks usually sell better on full worlds in the cities close to the wilderness, such as Falador, Edgeville, and Varrock, especially on World 18 in Edgeville. Originally, cooked sharks sold for 1,000 coins, but because of macros releasing many into the economy, the price was reduced.

Overview
Magic can be a decent money maker, but it is usually combined with other skills, and one needs to know what he/she is doing.

Tips
Level 13 (members): See Agility, level 67.

Level 55: High Level Alchemy can be used on items such as rune medium helmets for 11,580 coins.

Level 86: If one has completed Dream Mentor, he/she can buy about 1000 mahogany logs for around 450 coins each, and cast the Plank Make spell on them, turning them into mahogany planks. The spell uses 1050 coins, 1 nature rune, 2 astral runes, and 15 earth runes. Use an earth staff. The total cost of the spell will be about 1650 coins. Sell the mahogany planks for 2,000-2,400 each and you will make a 150-350 coins profit per plank.

Overview
A very good money maker. You can start making serious money (over 300k per hour) at level 44, which is not hard to gain if you plan your training carefully so that you're always making maximum profit. There are several ways to make over 300k per hour with runecrafting, including nature, law, double cosmic, death and double nature crafting, meaning that if you feel the market is too unstable in one of the runes you can hop to another for no loss. However, runecrafting is extremely slow to raise compared to other skills.

Tips
Level 1 (members): Law Running on World 66 or World 99 is probably the easiest way to get more than 300,000 coins.


 * 1) Players need to mine 27 un-noted pure essence or trade them from a player.
 * 2) Talk to the Monk of Entrana of Port Sarim to go to Entrana (remember, no armour or weapons are allowed on Entrana).
 * 3) Go North-West next to the law altar.  There will be law runecrafters there in Zamorak robes in world 66, or teal Canifis robes in World 99.
 * 4) They will usually say that they are "open" for trading.  Offer to trade them. They will trade you 27 law runes and 27 noted pure essence (so you don't lose essence but get free laws).  **Note** World 99 will only trade you 25-28 Laws for 25-28 Essense, they will not give the player noted essence back.
 * 5) Take the ship back to Port Sarim and go to the closest bank, Draynor Village, or use Amulet of Glory to teleport there. Store all pure essence and withdraw all back. You can also use the Balloon Transport System from Castlewars Bank to Entrana and teleport back to the bank using a Ring of Dueling.
 * 6) Have 400+ law runes, and sell them for around 300 gp per law rune. Alternatively, wait around for people to buy law runes 1 at a time for 1k gp each.

Level 1: Go to World 16, a player must have 25 un-noted regular Rune essence. You also need an air talisman or air tiara, go to Falador and take your 25 essences, then enter altar and see people that say open or open 2k, trade them give them the 25 essence, they will give back 2k and 25 noted essences, so you don't lose anything. Keep on repeating until you get tired, sometimes the richest runecrafters will give you 2.5-3k.

Level 1 (members): Players can run pure essence for nature runes on World 36. The required materials are a nature tiara or talisman, around 1000 pure essence), around 20000 gp, and an antipoison if the person running is under combat level 65. Head to the island of the Nature altar (East of Tai Bwo Wannai Village, north of Shilo Village on Karamja Island). Go to the shop there and sell 25 noted essence and buy back them. Now you have 25 essences unnoted in your inventory. Now head to the Nature altar and there will be crafters in yellow robes there -- line up if there are people waiting -- and trade your essence to the crafter for 50 nature runes. Alternatively, use other methods of transportation to deliver essence from the bank to the altar, such as the abyss, the fairy rings, and from Shilo Village. GP will not be necessary for the latter methods.

Level 44 (members): Nature runes can be made easily through the Abyss. They can be sold for around 300 coins each or less.

Level 54 (members): Law runes are now craftable (requires the completion of the quest Troll Stronghold). Law runes sell in the region of 300 coins when sold in bulk quantities. Very low volume law sales charge around 1000 coins each. Law making through the Abyss is difficult due to the Abyss monsters and the limited amount of points where you can enter the centre ring. Law crafting using the Balloon Transport System is an alternative.

Level 59 (members): Double cosmics yield around 300 coins per pure essence.

Level 75 (members): Adding the giant pouch to any runecrafting activity offers a significant boost in crafting speed, and therefore money-making speed.

Level 75 (members): The Ourania rune altar is profitable to use.

Level 91 (members): Making double Nature runes more than doubles the net runecrafting profits (proceeds of selling the runes minus the cost of pure essences).

Overview
Similair to fishing, many players think that they can make their fortunes at high levels in this, but it is comparatively slower to other methods. However, because of the lack of attention usually required, one does not have to be glued to the screen every moment.

Tips
Level 15+: Oak logs are in high demand for the construction skill, and if you have a large quantity they might sell for up to 50 coins each. There are many oak trees across RuneScape, including just east of the Draynor Village bank, east of Varrock, around Varrock Castle, directly south of the Seer's Village bank, and south of the southern Falador gate. Additionally, if you are a member, you might consider cutting oaks by the sawmill northeast of Varrock, making the logs into oak planks and selling the planks, which sell for up to 500 coins each - however, you must have a reasonable amount of cash to start with.

Level 30+: Willow logs are in demand for cheap fletching and firemaking experience. Willow logs can be cut south of the Draynor Village bank*, northwest of the Seer's Village bank, and east of the Catherby bank. Willow logs sell well in the Draynor Village and Seer's Village banks, as well as on the forums, and sell for 25-35 coins each.

Level 45+ (members): Maple logs Are in demand for fletching and can be sold for 100gp each.They can be chopped,banked,and sold in bulk at Seer's village.

Level 60+: You can now cut yew logs. Good places to cut yews include the graveyard outside the church in Seer's Village*, the two yew trees just south of the edgeville bank, the yew tree grove south of the flax path between Catherby and Seer's Village*, behind Varrock Castle, south of the southern Falador gate*, and in between Draynor Village and Port Sarim. Yew logs sell for approximately 300-350 coins each, and are some of the easiest logs to sell. An excellent place to sell yew logs is in the World 132 Yanille bank (player-made fletching guild), where yew logs go in bulk constantly for 340 or 350 coins each. It is recommended that you log on the german version of runescape and chop yew trees as the English version is crowded with macros.

Level 75+ (members): Magic logs can now be cut. These are the only magic tree spots: between the Ranging Guild and the Sorcerer's Tower* (northeast of Ardougne, southwest of Seer's Village), in the garden of the Sorcerer's Tower*, the woods southwest of Lletya*, in the southwest corner of the Tree Gnome Stronghold, and in the Mage Training Arena*. In the World 132 Yanille bank, magic logs will sell for 1100 coins each in bulk. Magic logs can also be sold in the Seer's Village bank and on the forums for 900-1100 coins each.Doing this a player can make several million coins a day if done correctly.

Asterisks (*) mark often crowded woodcutting spots.

Overview
Not especially good, but still fairly fast at level 70. Many players train this for the 99 skill cape, and a large amount of money can be made while doing this.

Tips
Level 1: Cut wood trees, and use a knife to make Arrow shafts that can be sold to players. As the Arrow shafts are stackable, they can be done without frequent returning to the bank.

Level 70: You can make Yew longbows and sell them for about 600 each, or you could use High Level Alchemy on them and get 768 coins each.

Level 85: You can make Magic longbows and sell them for about 1300 coins each, or you could use High Level Alchemy on them and get 1536 coins each. Bows are difficult to sell in bulk for high prices.

Crafting Money Makers
Level 10 (members): Crafters can now spin flax into bowstrings. This is a popular way to make money as one bowstring can be worth 200 coins. For example 1000 bowstrings could make you 200k. NOTE: Bulk bowstrings (10 000 or more) can be worth as much as 210 each. A way to get experience and make money is to buy 1k Flax for about 100k gp on the crafting forum in the official RuneScape forums, or pick the flax yourself, spin it on the middle floor of Lumbridge Castle, and sell them for 180-220k on Fletching forum or in highly populated world at seers bank(west side of the bank). For example:Worlds 12,6,9,18,100,69.

Level 54 (with 56 magic, optionally 27 or 44 runecrafting and 30 mining) (members): Make elemental battlestaves and cast high alchemy on them. To do this, collect seaweed and sand. Cook the seaweed into soda ash, then smelt them in a furnace to make molten glass. Blow the glass into orbs. Then, enchant them at the water obelisk if you are at this level, or higher level obelisks for higher levels. This takes an uncharged orb, three cosmic runes, and thirty runes of whatever obelisk you are casting on (water runes for water obelisk), or bring an elemental staff of some sort. Then, buy battlestaves from stores such as the magic guild, Zaff's staffs, and Baba Yaga, for 7000 to 7700 gp each. Then, attach the orbs to the battlestaves and cast high alchemy on them, which requires one nature rune and five fire runes or a fire staff of some sort. This will get you 9300 gp each.

Level 70: Make and sell power amulets. They easily go for 6-10k each, and some desperate buyers pay as high as 12-15k. Buy diamonds for 3-5k each and the rest of the materials for the prices mentioned above. That means you spend 3.4-5.7k per amulet. Merchants will always be ready to buy bulk amounts of amulets at lower side of the prices.

Various levels (members): Buying Dragonhide and making them into sets is a real good money maker. The player will need 6 hides per set, and after crafting them, they will make large profits.
 * (Level 63) Green hides = 1.5k ea times 6 is 9k -- Each Set sells for 10 - 15k. 1-6k profit.
 * (Level 71) Blue hides = 2k ea times 6 is 12k -- Each Set sells for 15 - 25k. 3-13k profit.
 * (Level 77) Red hides = 3 - 4k ea times 6 is 18 - 24k -- Each set sells for 35-50k each. 11-26k profit.
 * (Level 84) Black hides = 3 - 4k each times 6 is 24k -- Each set sells for 30-40k each. 6-16k profit.

Herblore Money Makers (members)
All levels: Gathering secondary ingredients for potions is an easy way for players to make money.


 * Snape grass can be gathered without cost and sold for 500 coins each. Either collect from the peninsula just below the crafting guild, or if you have lyre teleports, your house is in Rellekka, you can bank in Miscellania, or you have Waterbirth Teleport, collecting from Waterbirth Island is both faster and less busy.
 * White berries sell for up to 1k each. They are difficult to obtain for players until he/she has begun Mourning's Ends Part I, but if you have, you can then teleport to Lletya using elf crystals, and run around to the nearby fast white berry spawn.  Up to 400 berries can be collected an hour, even taking into account the elf crystal recharges that you have to make.  Some food and anti-poisons are required for this.
 * Potato cactus are easy to collect if you have a relatively high defence level (70+), and have some low quality food, ropes and anti-poison potions. From Edgeville, use the fairy ring code BIQ to get to the desert, and run to the Kalphite Dungeon where the potato cacti spawn.  They sell for up to 2k each, are in relatively high demand, and the money per hour is around the same as white berry collection - 400k per hour.
 * Wine of Zamorak is the only high level herblore ingredient that can be collected on free-to-play, by using telekinetic grab at the altar on the edge of the wilderness, north of Falador and just west of the Mind altar. In bulk it can sell for up to 1,300 each, but the more normal price is 1,000 each.  Players with a lot of high level alchemy to do may find it profitable to grab wines whilst they alchemize.
 * Red spiders' eggs are easy to collect if you have a reasonable defence level (40+). Go to edgeville dungeon and collect from the 6 respawn places. Either run to edgeville bank, or use amulet of glory teleports (for faster banking). They sell for about 800 each.
 * Mort Myre fungi can work well for players who have completed the Nature Spirit quest (or at least started it). Also, if the player's Prayer level is high, it is more likely that player will be able to gather more fungi per trip.  Wield a blessed Silver sickle and in the Mort Myre Swamp use it near dead logs (preferably in a place where you can cast your spell over two or three logs, rather than just one).  The grotto from the Nature spirit (once quest is completed) is a great place to replenish Prayer points, it gives an extra 2 points over your base Prayer level.  Closest bank is in Canifis.  They sell for around 1,000 coins each. Alternatively, a player can use a house teleport tablet to teleport to his/her house if it has an altar in it, and use a house Kharyll portal to get back, or use an amulet of glory to teleport to Edgeville, and return by using the fairy ring across the river, and entering the code "CKS".

Merchanting Money Makers
Merchanting requires no in-game skills.

Buy Logs for 1 coins in General Store and sell for 50 - 100 coins to players

Buy Big bones for 200-250 coins and sell for 300 to 400 coins. Best if the amount of bones is in the hundreds or thousands.

Start with around 2 million coins and buy as much coal as possible at 180 each. Then sell in World 1 or in Forums for 200 each. 10k coal will get you 200,000 coins profit or more. If you don't have 2 million coins, try buying coal 150 each.

Start with at least 13,000 coins and buy cooked lobsters for 125 to 150 coins each at Karamja. When you have a full inventory go to Draynor Village and bank the lobsters. Keep doing this until you have 100 cooked lobsters, then sell them all for 250 each.

Start with at least 25,000gp and buy 1k rune essence for 25k (though this may be hard). Go to World 1 and sell the rune essence for 40k. Buy more rune essence for 30 each, and keep selling for 40 each in World 1. This is an easy way to make profit, and once you have around 300k, you will begin to make 100k+ per day.

In more crowded worlds, such as world 1, players sell rune scimitars for 25,000 coins each or less near the west Varrock bank. You can buy 5 to 10 in the morning (your time) and sell these throughout the day to someone whom is more desperate and will pay 30,000 or even more.

(Members) Buy Chocolate bars for 20 coins each from the Port Sarim food store. Use a pestle and mortar on the Chocolate bar. Sell chocolate dust for 300 coins each.

Combat Money Makers
Level 3: Kill chickens in the Lumbridge chicken coop. Take all the feathers. Feathers sell for up to 10 coins each to members buying them for fletching or fishing. If you need prayer experience, you can take the bones too and bury them, or sell them for some extra cash.

Level 5: Kill cows in the two Lumbridge[ cowfields. Cowhides sell for around 150 each to crafters and you can bury or sell the bones.

Level 15: Kill the Level 9 Wizards at the base of the Wizards' Tower to collect the wizard robe tops and/or hats to make full wizard sets. Do not wear metal melee armour, but try to wear armour such as leather or dragonhide. If you only have wizard robes, just buy 1 or more blue wizard hats at the rune shop in Port Sarim (this may be time consuming as you have to world hop when the shop runs out). Then go to Varrock and buy blue skirts for the bottom of the wizard sets. Doing this should take about 8 coins at max, but you can sell the full wizard sets for 3-5k per set. Also, these wizards drop runes which can be sold to players.

Level 65: Killing green dragons is a great way to make money. They can be found in level 12 wilderness north of Goblin Village, and in higher level wilderness (watch for player killers and bring a teleport and food!). These spots are often crowded, but green dragon hides sell for about 1.5k each and dragon bones sell for about 1.3k each. Dragons also drop level 3 treasure trail clues pretty consistently. If you feel adventurous, the macroers can also be killed with Teleblocks, binding spells and magic attacks, and they usually drop large amounts of those items.

Level 70: Killing TzHaars can make good money as they drop highly valuable items such as the obsidian shield and the obsidian cape.

Level 75: Blue dragons can be found in Taverley dungeon or the Hero's Guild (requires completion of the Hero's Quest). Another place is the dungeon underneath the Ogre city south of Yanille. It is recommended that you either Range, Mage, or Halberd them. Then you can teleport using the Watchtower Teleport, or, if your house is in Yanille, teleport there. Blue dragonhides sell for about 1800 coins each, and dragon bones sell for 1300 coins each, and as with green dragons they also drop some level 3 treasure trail clues. A good tip is to have level 70 agility, log into a non-busy world, and fight the blue dragons in Taverly dungeon. You should bring with you some good melee armour, an anti-dragon/dragonfire shield, 7 pieces of food (preferably sharks or higher), an anti-fire potion, and leave the other 20 inventory spots free for d'hides and bones (obtain 10 of each and bank). And with level 70 agility, you can take the shortcuts at the entrance of the dungeon and Falador west wall to bank quick and easily at Falador's west bank.

Slayer and Combat (members)
All slayer monsters have a chance of dropping a dragon spear.

Level 5 slayer and 10 combat: Killing crawling hands can sometimes get you colored gloves, which can be merchanted for 2k each. They also drop gold and gem rings, which can be enchanted and sold to other players.

Level 72 slayer and 90 combat: Killing Skeletal Wyverns can get you aDraconic Visage, which sells for about 24m. It is quite a rare drop, though.

Level 75 slayer and 90 combat: Killing Gargoyles can get you granite mauls, adamant boots, and black/red mystic tops.

Level 85 slayer and 100 combat: Killing Abyssal Demons for the Whips they drop can prove very profitable.

Level 90 slayer and 100 combat: If you have started Mournings End Part 2, killing Dark Beasts for the Dark Bows and other valuable things they drop can prove very profitable too.

Thieving Money Makers (members)
Thieving is a members skill, which can be used to make loads of money if you have a high level.

Level 20: Steal silk from the Silk Stalls in the East Ardougne marketplace and bank it until you have the desired amount. Then wait five minutes and sell it back to the merchant for 60 coins each, but remember he will not accept noted silk.

Level 38: Steal seeds from the Master Farmer in Draynor Village. The nice thing about this is that it's a one-click thing to pickpocket. He always gives seeds, but sometimes he gives valuable seeds such as ranarr, which can be farmed or sold for a lot of money.

Level 50: Steal silver ore from the Silver Stall in the East Ardougne marketplace. You can craft with the silver and sell your products or sell it on the forums or to the merchant. The respawn time is about a minute. Alternatively, steal from the silver stall in Keldagrim. It gives half the experience, but half the respawn time, which means you obtain the same xp, but twice the amount of silver.

Level 61: You can picklock a door upstairs in Ardougne Castle. Inside the room is a black scimitar spawn. Note that you may fail when picklocking the door and may trigger a trap, taking damage.

Agility Money Makers (members)
Level 30: If you make it to the top of the pyramid at the desert agility course, the man there will give you 1000 coins.

Level 67, with 13 magic: Defeat Salarin the Twisted in the Yanille Agility Dungeon. As only strike spells can damage him, use fire strike, which, in this case, hits up to 12. He drops the sinister key, which can open the sinister chest, which contains 2 harralanders, 3 ranarrs, 1 irit leaf, 1 kuwarm, and 1 tortsol.

Farming Money Makers (members)
Level 32: Buy ranarr seeds at about 20k each. Plant using super compost and magic secateurs. Assuming player does not stay to attend the patches but does other activities, about 10% of the plants will die. Taking this into account, the average yield is 6 herbs. Selling 6 herbs for 7k each gives 42k. This gives 22k profit per herb patch every 2 hours.

Construction Money Makers (members)
You can either make the required lectern in your own house, or use someone else's (requires 1 Construction).

Lectern & 25 Magic: Make Varrock teleport tablets. Worth 1k gp - 1.5k gp each, but can sell for 2k gp each if people are desperate.

Eagle Lectern & 31 Magic: Make Lumbridge Teleport teleport tablets. Worth 1k gp each, but can sell for slightly more to people who kill the Kalphite Queen

Eagle Lectern & 37 Magic: Make Falador teleport tablets. Same prices as Varrock.

Teak Eagle Lectern & 45 Magic: Make Camelot teleport tablets. Worth 1k gp each, but can sell for up to 5k gp each if people are desperate.

Teak Eagle Lectern & 51 Magic: Make Ardougne teleport tablets. Worth 1.3k gp - 2k gp each. (Must have completed Plague City to make and use.)

Mahogany Eagle Lectern & 58 Magic: Make Watchtower teleport tablets. Worth 1.3k gp - 2k gp each. (Must have completed Watchtower to make and use)

Mahogany Eagle Lectern & 40 Magic: Make House teleport tablets. Worth 1.5k gp - 2k gp each. These are the most sought after teleport tablets due to the uses of a house, e.g. Safe Deaths, Other Portals & Barrows Repair. (Must have a house to use)

Mahogany Demon Lectern & 60 Magic: Make Bones to Peaches tablets. Worth 1.5k gp - 2k gp each. These are usually bought in bulk by players with a high combat level, so they can train without unlocking the spell themselves or using Guthans armour.

One way for new players to make money is going to Port Sarim, South of Falador. Head the docks, then talk to one of the three sailors. Pay 30 coins For a boat ride. You will end up on Karamja island. Talk to a man named Luthas nearby, He will ask you to pick him some bananas. Get him 10 bananas then go back to him and fill the crate outside his hut. Talk to him again and he will pay you 30 coins. Repeat the process many times. Although you can only make about 5k coins in an hour, it's good for beginners.

Hanging around areas where players kill creatures can yield many drops, which, although they usually don't get a good price at general stores, can help make money. Areas include the Banshees in the Slayer Tower (bring earmuffs!) and the Bandit Camp in the Kharidian Desert (bring waterskins!).(Members)

After doing the Throne of Miscellania (and Royal Trouble) quests, get your kingdom worker to gather resources that can be sold for profit. Keep the treasury stocked up (over 750 000) and popularity at 100% for maximum profit.(Members)

Other Money-making Tips

 * Use the Runescape official forums or the forums of a clan site to help you buy and sell stuff.


 * Falador city in World 2 is the busiest trading center for members. Varrock city in World 1 is the busiest trading center for non-members.


 * Buy tradable discontinued items. Hold onto them for a while until you make a good profit.  Many players make hundreds of millions by "hoarding rares" (buying many discontinued items at once and holding them).  Although, you can still make millions off of just one rare.


 * When gathering raw resources, such as logs or fish, or making frequest trips to the Wilderness, you may find it useful to log onto one of the german servers, as they are not busy and usually free of macros and other players. The only downside is random events, as some may be difficult to understand, and therefore harder to complete (unless you can understand german). If this happens, log back into an english server, complete the event, then log back into the german server.
