Money making guide



This money making guide provides players with a list of ideas that can help them make money in RuneScape. When using this guide, players should keep in mind that the RuneScape economy is constantly changing, which means not all of the information given here will be completely accurate. Although these methods have worked for the majority of players, they are not guaranteed to work for every player. Making money is about working hard and using resources.

Stronghold of Player Safety
Rating:

Players of any level can easily do the Stronghold of Player Safety between Barbarian Village and Edgeville in the Misthalin Training Centre of Excellence, all of the monsters on the route to the 10,000 coins are non-aggressive. Upon the completion of the miniquest, players are rewarded with two skill lamps (each lamp is worth 500xp and can be applied to any skill regardless of level), 10,000 coins, Safety gloves and the Safety first emote.

It is tricky to navigate through the Stronghold of Player Safety, but the rewards are great. The high level monsters drop large numbers of runes.


 * free players who choose to train on them, some high-level ores such as mithril and adamant, and even rune scimitars and rune square shields for rarer drops.

The reward may only be received once per player, however, if a player loses/drops their Safety gloves they can come back to the chest for a new pair.
 * (For members, they mainly drop charms, seeds, and herbs.) No food is needed, but a high enough percent of run is recommended.

Once completed, the Cockroach soldiers (level 83) drop Rune Scimitar,Rune Sq Shield and dragon spears. They also drop a lot of crimson charms, which are used in summoning. They also offer decent training for higher leveled players.

Stronghold of Security
Rating:

If players are brave enough, they can attempt the Stronghold of Security in Barbarian Village. Food is recommended for players at all levels and even more for low-level players. (Note: For players with 10-15 hitpoints, trouts or higher are recommended). One can usually pick up raw trout and salmon from powerfishers near barbarian village on world 1. After players have had their account recovery questions set and proceed through all four levels in the Stronghold, they will be awarded 10,000 coins and either; the Fancy boots which are rainbow coloured or the Fighting boots these boots have spikes on the end. Both these boots have the same stats so either pair is fine.


 * This reward may only be collected once. The boots may also be swapped at any time.

The monsters in this dungeon get stronger as players descend from level to level, and are aggressive beginning with the second level. There are some "safe" spots on all levels where players can wait to recover their run energy and eat to restore their hitpoints before they proceed further.

Some lower trainable monsters in the security stronghold include zombies and minotaurs. The zombies constantly drop steel arrows, body runes, and gems. The minotaurs drop iron arrows and noted rune essence/pure essence which can add up in time.


 * There have been reports that the random event occurrences tend to be increased in the stronghold, so training for a long time will increase the chances of getting gems and other random event items.

Players may bank all items and just sprint through each level to get the rewards easily.


 * For members, Once completed, the Flesh Crawlers often drop higher leveled herbs, which can be gathered & sold for a tidy sum.

Logs
Rating:

For players with high Woodcutting levels, cutting and selling logs can be a profitable pastime. Yew trees, which require 60 Woodcutting to cut, give the best non-member logs, and are therefore the most expensive. There are several located around Varrock and 4 in the forest west of Lumbridge and east of Draynor, although there are others. The ones in Varrock are recommended as they are close to banks, speeding up the process. Yew logs sell for coins each.

Cowhiding
Rating:

Cowhiding, or selling Cowhides, is a highly profitable way to make lots of money. However, as this requires frequent trips to the Al-Kharid bank, the completion of the Prince Ali Rescue quest is a good idea.

Before starting, players should empty their inventory except for a weapon. They should also have at least three times the amount of cowhides they plan to collect in money, as it costs 3 coins to tan cowhides. Obtaining the cowhides is done by heading to the cow-fields northeast of Lumbridge. It is advised that players do this in in worlds with low amounts of people, as some competition for cows is involved. Enter the cowfield through the gate, and immediately start killing cows and collecting their raw cowhide. This can be tedious, but the rewards are great.

Once 28 cowhides have been collected, players may choose to bank them at the Gnomecopter deposit box, or heading to Al-Kharid. This is where completing Prince Ali Rescue helps, as it allows players to pass through the gate free of charge. The tanner is located south of the gate and north of the Al-Kharid bank, and can tan players' cowhides for 3 coins each. Players may choose to have the money in their inventory to begin with, allowing them to head to the tanner and then bank the hard leather, or they may collect all of the cowhides first and then run back and forth between the bank and the tanner.

Once this is finished, players can sell their hard leather at the Grand Exchange for 159 coins. These sell remarkably fast, allowing players to make money quickly.

Cooks' guild item collecting
Rating:

Gathering items from the cooking guild can be fast money since most respawn fast there but are rare when talking about RuneScape as a whole. Therefore players may gather them at the Cooks' Guild fast and run them straight to the Grand Exchange which is directly north. Players that work hard at this method can make 10,000 to 20,000 coins an hour; the only requirements are 30 Cooking and be wearing a Chef's hat or Cooking cape.

Potatoes
Rating:

Collecting food materials can be quite profitable for beginners. Potatoes, in particular, can be found in several places on both member and free-to-play worlds. The current price of potatoes in the GE are coins, and are in strong demand due to several member's only food items that can be prepared with them, as well as for the Stew in F2P cooking. The fastest method of obtaining them in F2P worlds to collect them from the potato farm east of Draynor Village. For members, the potato field north of Ardounge is the best area as its only a few steps to the bank.


 * Bringing 23 gardening sacks will help significantly, as it allows for mass storage and a greatly improved profit rate. Players that can create buttered potatoes can then cook the potatoes on a range (traveling between the Leptoc mansion and the nearby bank to withdraw new potatoes is recommended). Once cooked, players can add pats of butter (which cost coins) to their potatoes, then sell them for an excellent profit.


 * The potatoes can be banked in Draynor Village for (F2P) or by going north to the deposit box at the Gnomecopters. Potatoes also can be bought from Wydin's Food Store in Port Sarim for 16 coins each, banked, and then sold to the Grand Exchange, although this is a slower method.

Cheese
Rating:

With a little bit of cash, a player can also travel to Port Sarim and buy Cheese for 8 coins each at Wydin's Food Store and in turn sell can also go to Draynor Village and get cheese for free in the witches house.


 * Members which have completed at least part of Recipe for Disaster quest may buy cheese (and various other profitable food items) at the Culinaromancer’s chest, which also functions as a bank. This shop does not have an infinite stock.

Pastry Dough
Rating

Selling pastry dough that players have made is a good method to make money. Note that pastry dough sells for more than the pies it is used to make. Firstly, go to the Grand Exchange and buy about 20 pots of flour. Players also need a bucket with them. After going to the Fountain east of the Grand Exchange and west of the palace, players can fill the bucket with water, which can then be used on a pot of flour. Drop used pots, and repeat until all of the flour has been made into pastry dough, which can be sold for about coins each.

Wine of Zamorak
Rating:

Players need a Magic level of 33 in order to do this. Travel to the chaos temple north of Goblin village and telegrab the wine. Telegrabbing the wine is strongly recommended, as the monks will attack and possibly kill players who chose to grab it. Once about 25 wines have been collected, they can be sold at the Grand Exchange for 847 coins. ''Make sure the wines sell for at least the price of one Law rune (which is currently coins) or the cost of casting the telegrab spell will outweigh the profit. Alternatively, the Monks of Zamorak may be killed prior to taking the wine, allowing players to physically take the wine. Players who do this will be greeted with an inhuman scream, "STAY AWAY FROM MY WINE!" and lose some hitpoints, but this is better than being killed.

Red Spiders' Eggs
Rating:

Red spiders' eggs can be found in the sewers of Varrock. The entrance point of the Varrock Sewers is just east of the Palace and north of the east bank, and is marked on the minimap with. There are 2 spawn points located at the end of the sewers, near the Giant spiders and Moss giants. Not that the spiders themselves do not actually drop the eggs themselves. Eggs respawn approximately every 40 seconds, although this is faster on busy worlds. Red spider' eggs can be sold for the the Grand Exchange.

'''Players should be careful of the many level 34 spiders, which can all attack to once due to the fact that the sewers are in a multicombat area. Players must be at least level 69 to not be attacked by the spiders. A minimum Combat level of 50 is recommended, along with lots of food.'''

F2P can also obtain red spider's eggs in Karamja volcano, however this is just as dangerous and much farther from a bank.

Players with level 10 summoning may also summon spirit spiders. Buy the pouches and egg spawn scrolls off the Grand Exchange. The scrolls spawn 0-3 red spiders' eggs and the spiders last 14 minutes. Each pouch costs the same as one egg, and each scroll costs 1/10 of the price of an egg. Remember that each scroll gives 3 eggs, so it is essentially impossible to lose money this way.

Monk's Robes
Rating

Requirements: 31 Prayer

These spawn at the Monastery just west of Edgeville. There are 2 pieces for them and they respawn approximately 52 seconds. The robes sell for coins for the top and  coins for the bottom.

Dyes
Rating:

Harvesting onions and redberries can give some modest profit, however turning these into dyes is far more profitable. For only 5 coins (even on F2P worlds), the player can trade 2 onions for yellow dyes, or 3 red berries for red dyes. These can in turn be sold on the Grand Exchange for coins.


 * Members may buy all the different colours of dye in Lleyta. Players may get there by taking the charter to Tyra's camp and walking, or if you have done Underground pass and Mourning's Ends quests, you can use a fairy crystal to teleport there.
 * If you do take the charter, bring antipoison, food,a woodcutting axe, and a tinderbox as there are a number of traps that can damage/poison you.

On member worlds just south of Ardougne is a spawn point for purple dye.

Another good method is to buy redberries at 4 coins each from the Gnomecopters, then deposit them in the handy bank deposit boxes in the field. Repeat this until you have as many berries as you want, then go to Draynor village and make red dye with the witch. This is an effective method of mass producing dyes.

Mining Clay
Rating:

Another way for which players can make money is by mining clay and/or making soft clay. The best place to mine clay is in western Varrock. Taking nothing but a pickaxe and having a mining level of 28 is the fastest method. Regular clay sells on the Grand Exchange for coins. Alternatively, soft clay can be created by bringing 14 buckets of water which can be used on mined clay, turning them into soft clay, which sells for coins.

For members who do not mind spending money to gain money, buying or making a bracelet of clay will highly speed up the process. Each bracelet has the charges to mine 28 Soft clay rather than Clay, which avoids the need to bring buckets. Bracelets of Clay are made using common Sapphire gems, and are often sold for low prices, due to the fact that the crafter is usually more interested in the experience rather than the ability of the bracelet. Bracelet of clays currently sell for coins.

As with mining any type of rock, it is also possible to pick up gems, such as rubies, emeralds, and sapphires, which sell for a lot even at the lowest price at the Grand Exchange. With the exception of mining Adamant and Rune, it is best keep the gems found, as the only ores that are worth more than them are Adamantite and Runite.

Mining rune/pure essence
After completing the Rune Mysteries quest, players can mine Rune essence by being teleported by Aubury at Varrock. There is one other person in F2P who can teleport players to the Rune essence (Sedridor), and 3 in P2P, however these are further away from banks, and are not recommended. Teleporting by Aubury is a very convenient method as the Varrock east bank is located directly north. Members with a mining level of 30 and above will automatically mine Pure essence, which sells for much more. An inventory of rune essence sells for about 1000 coins, while one of pure essence sells for about 4000.

Mining Coal
Requirements: 30 Mining

Coal can be found in many places (F2P) including the Dwarven Mine, the Mining Guild, Barbarian Village, Al-Kharid Mine, Crandor Isle, Edgeville Dungeon, Wilderness Skeleton Mine, and Hero's Guild Mine.

Places for F2P such as the Wilderness Skeleton Mine (north-west of Edgeville) are deserted even in heavily clogged worlds, and it has 34 coal rocks. The only set back is the skeletons (level 22) that roam around can be aggressive. After some 10 minutes they should stop attacking regardless of your level. Edgeville bank is very close, and you can quickly go and deposit coal to head back for more. Coal sells at the Grand Exchange for. Gathering as little as 100 coal and selling it at the Grand Exchange at the lowest price will grant you coins.

Planks
Rating

Collecting planks can be profitable given time and patience. They spawn in the Graveyard of Shadows and can be sold for coins each. It is recommended that players have a high combat level however, as there are zombies and Revenants in the grave that will swarm them. Conveniently, the Bounty Hunter bank is only a short walk away. Planks can also be found in the Ruins part of the Wilderness.


 * For members, players may pick up planks from behind barbarian outpost and deposit them in the deposit box there.

Another way is to buy the logs at the Grand Exchange and take them to the sawmill north-east of Varrock. Players make profit off this but is a bit slow. Note that this way is member's only.

Eyes of Newt
Rating

A form of merchanting that still survives to this day, eyes of newts can be a very good source of profit for all levels; in fact, players can do it with the 25 coins they receive at the beginning of the game. It may require some patience, but the payoff is astounding! By purchasing eyes of newts (27 at a time) from Betty's Magic Emporium in Port Sarim for 3 coins each, players can make a huge profit of up to 24 times the gold they spent! Players may purchase them in the Port Sarim Magic Shop then banking them in Draynor Village. The Explorer's Ring 3's cabbage teleport can cut the run time between Draynor and Port Sarim by about 5-10 seconds, which will save run energy. Repeat this process then sell them all at the Grand Exchange for 73 coins each. Money gained by doing this can be used to buy more eyes of newts, so players can essentially never lose money doing this.

However, this method was soon spread and the price of each eye of newt went down to around 50 coins. This makes it not as profitable.


 * Members may buy eyes of newt in Taverly and either run to Falador, Burthorpe, or by having using their Player-owned house.

Silk merchanting
Rating:

Silk merchanting can be very slow; 4-5 pieces of silk are acquired per minute (3 if the player bargains), plus about 45 seconds each way running between Lumbridge and Al Kharid. The player will spend about 8 minutes to earn 126 coins (after the Al Kharid tolls and initial investment), far below the average income for other methods. (Even members taking advantage of the East Ardougne Silk Merchant will find that this method earns less than 300 coins per minute of work.) It is, therefore, only suitable for beginner players with no other options.

With 101 coins (74 if players are bargaining), they could travel on the road east from Lumbridge, cross the bridge, and go through the toll gate (paying a toll of 10 coins The silk can then be sold at the Grand Exchange for coins, at any general store, the Varrock clothes store (not the Fancy Dress Shop), or to the Silk Merchant in East Ardougne (for members). If the general store currently has no silk, a pack of 27 pieces of silk sold at once will fetch 227 coins.  Al Kharid has a bank, so players can bank their purchases and return for more.  However, it should be noted that it takes the general store about a half-hour to clear its stock, so it is advised to do some fishing or mining between trips to the store.  Three to four trips will net a beginner enough coins for buying a full set of Iron armour.
 * The road could be followed as it turns south into Al Kharid. A Silk Trader is just east of the first building. Silk can be bought from him at 3 coins per piece (or 2 if a player bargains).

Flax
'''Rating:

Members with a crafting level of 10 can spin flax into bowstrings at Camelot, Falador, Lumbridge, and Neitznot (Near Banks). Lumbridge is the quickest area to spin flax and bank, assuming you use all the shortcuts (holding right-click on "Climb-Up Stairs" just as the last piece of flax finishes, rotating your camera to get the "Quick-Bank" option very shortly after ascending the stairs).

To start, teleport to the area you have chosen, take your flax, then simply click on the wheel and select the appropriate amount of flax to spin. Spin the flax into bowstrings and sell them on the Grand Exchange for coins each; almost doubling the amount of money you started with.

Alternatively you can pick your own flax from the flax field in Seer's Village and spin the flax in the spinning wheel located north west of the flax field. With this method you can make potentially make 5.3k per inventory at coins each.

Plank Making
Rating:

This method works for regular logs, oak logs, teak logs and mahogany logs. Players may either cut these logs themselves or buy them. Using the chart below, take the required amount of money and logs to the sawmill operator, and get them converted into planks. It is advised to bank the planks in the east Varrock bank, then run back with the correct materials again and repeat the process. Once done, players can sell the planks at the Grand Exchange. Note that players will make much more money by cutting the logs themselves, rather than buying them.

The following image shows the price for the logs, cost to make them and the price for the planks.



Raw Bird Meat
'''Rating:

Players must have completed As a first resort to use this method. Jump into the spa baths and get infinite run for 20 minutes. Get all weight to 0 and have just money. Run to chargurr and buy raw bird meat for 17 coins each. Run raw bird meat from chargurr to the bank and back again untill you have enough. Sell them all of them on the grand exchange for coins. Its possible to run 4 thousand raw bird meat from chargurr to the bank per hour making about 250,000 coins.

Soda Ash
'''Rating:

Members can collect or buy Seaweed and burn it into Soda ash for a profit. Buying Seaweed off the Grand Exchange and making Soda ash can turn a profit of over 150,000 Coins per hour with no required Skills. To maximize profits, a player should buy a large amount of Seaweed all at once and then make Soda ash at a Bank that is very near to a Fire or a Range. Some good places to do this are East Varrock range, Zanaris, the Rogue's Den fire, or the range in the Cooking Guild. (Warning, there are large amounts of soda ash in the Grand Exchange)

Alternatively, players with little money to start up can collect Seaweed from any of the locations listed here.


 * You can buy seaweed from the general store in Catherby by talking to the trader rather then right clicking him. you can purchase up to 80 seaweed a day for 2gp each.
 * you can also get pineapples this way, around 40 of these a day.

Swamp Toads
'''Rating:

Members can access Tree Gnome Stronghold, (North west from Ardougne), or the Lumbridge swamp. But, west of the Grand Tree, there is a small swamp. In the swamp, there are swamp toads. Collect as many as you like then head to the Grand Tree to bank. Players should avoid wearing any equipment that increases their weight, as there is no need to. this can make over 8k a trip

Glass Vials
'''Rating:

Members with little money can easily make 200,000 Coins or more per hour from "vial-merchanting". Go to Taverley, buy an inventory of vials from Jatix, and sell them in the Grand Exchange for a decent profit. Having 45 Magic helps a lot, as well as plenty of Law Runes. If you do, bring the required Runes or Teleport to House (if it's in Taverley), and another method of Teleportation so you can bank the vials for later, and repeat the process. Vials sell fast in the Grand Exchange, therefore, you don't need to wait very long.

Filling them with water is another option. Banks with fountains near them (e.g. Camelot) are especially helpful. Just use one vial on a fountain, and it'll fill every vial. Bank the vials, withdraw 28 more, and repeat. This way, you can earn even more money. The lunar spell, humidify is an even faster method for filling vials.

However, If you have done the Enlightened Journey quest, you have access to the balloon transportation system. You can buy ring of dueling and regular logs. Once you have these, teleport to the castlewars arena. Once there, withdraw a few energy pots, one normal log and your ring of dueling. Run out to the balloon and travel to Taverley. Once there run to the herblore shop and buy as many vials as you can. There is also a Fountain near that place making it easier to fill the vials. Once you have a full inventory, use your ring of dueling to tele back to Castlewars. Bank, and repeat.

Another option is to buy empty vials or water vials from the general store in Shilo Village. Bank and repeat, then sell in G.E.

Another option is to teleport to East Ardougne and go to the General store and buy an full inventory of water-filled vials. Bank and repeat. Then sell at G.E. It's much faster than the Taverley/Camelot way. You save time, run energy and runes, and possibly get more money.

Ranging Guild-Archery Competition
'''Rating:

This is a good way to get a large amount of ranged experience, along with a moderate amount of cash.

At level 40 Ranged, members have access to the Ranging Guild and the Archery Competition. The competition costs 200 coins per 10 shots, with a maximum of 100 points per shot. 1 Archery ticket is awarded per 10 points, which can be used to buy an assortment of ranged items from the Ticket Merchant. Also half of the score, per shot, is rewarded in experience.

The most profitable way to make money using this minigame is to get 2000 tickets, or a multiple of 2000, and buy 50 rune arrows per 2000 tickets. At a low Ranged level, a player may only score less than half the maximum per 10 shots, but it is still possible to make some money this way. At an average of 400 points (40 tickets) per 10 shots, 50 rounds (not as hard or time-consuming as it sounds) are needed to get 2000 tickets. 50 plays will cost 10k, but 50 rune arrows will fetch 14,400 (as of 26th Nov 08) earning a profit of 9,300 coins, as well as 10,000 experience( $$2,000 tickets*10 points per ticket=20,000 points; 20,000 points/2=10,000 exp$$ ).

At higher levels players will score higher, therefore spending less money and taking less time, which means making more money, while receiving faster experience. Scoring 800 points per 10 shots will only cost 5,000 coins to reach 2000 tickets, which will turn a profit of 14,300 coins, while earning the same experience, all in half the time as the previous example. It is slightly more profitable to sell the tickets although it may take a little longer.

Nowadays, buying 50 rune arrows from Ticket Merchant is not encouraged. Rather, sell the tickets directly to to Grand Exchange where you can get more profit.

Unicorn Horns(M)
'''Rating:

You can collect unicorn horns which sell in Grand Exchange for coins.

Unicorns can be found in Catherby, south of Varrock East Bank, and above the Barbarian Village. These unicorns are level 14, and there are only two (2) unicorns per location, therefore many players prefer killing the Black unicorns in the Wilderness. Black Unicorns are level 27, and therefore are stronger than white unicorns. Don't waste your time killing the Black unicorn foal because they do not drop horns. Other drops from black unicorns include charms, coins, and bones.

Another effective way of obtaining unicorn horns is The Creature Creation minigame. You must have completed Tower of Life to do this, but the rewards are worth it, because all the player needs is one unicorn and plenty of cowhides, and a player can come out of it with unlimited unicorn horns, which they can run back and forth from the Southern Bank in Ardougne. They can also use fairy ring code: D J P for fast banking.

Candle Merchanting
Rating:

Candle merchanting is a very slow process. First go to Catherby fishing village right below Camelot. Head over to the candle shop with 3,000 coins, then buy 27 candles and bank them. Repeat until you have spent all of you money. You should have about 1,000 candles. Now go to the Grand Exchange and sell them for coins each.

Tinderbox Merchant(G.E Method)
'''Rating:

Tinderboxes can be bought from the general store for 1gp each and can be sold for more than 10x their original price on the Grand Exchange. This is because of players using them in the Summoning skill to make Pyrelords.

Spider Carcasses(M)
'''Rating:

Jungle Spiders drop Spider Carcasses, which can be sold on the Grand Exchange for coins. A player can simply gather the carcasses in his or her inventory after killing the spiders, drop them off at the bank, and repeat the process. By far the closest spiders to a bank are the ones right next to the eastern part of Shilo Village. The spiders east of Yanille are also a good option.

Snape grass (M)
Rating:

An easy method to earn money is by gathering Snape grass. Just west of the Crafting Guild is a small peninsula, Hobgoblin Peninsula, that has a small collection of hobgoblins and a snape grass respawn point. The closest bank is the eastern Falador bank. Start there with an empty inventory and armor if needed. Make your way to the peninsula and collect a full inventory of snape grass. Make your way back to the bank and repeat this process until satisfied. Once you have had enough, the snape grass can be sold in the Grand Exchange for coins each. If you cannot survive an attack from a Hobgoblin, this method is not recommended.

If you are a member and choose this method, there are two things you should know. If you have the Agility level of 26 or higher, there is a short cut in the Falador wall just south of the gem shop. This means that the closest bank is now the western Falador bank. If you have the ability to summon a beast of burden (Level 22 Summoning - Spirit kalphite, Level 40 - Bull ant, Level 52 - Spirit terrorbird, Level 67 - War tortoise, Level 96 - Pack yak), you can bring them along to help by adding more inventory slots.

Alternatively, members who have completed lunar diplomacy and have at least 72 magic can teleport to Waterbirth Island, collect the snape grass, then teleport to moonclan to bank, making about 250k/hr if selling on the GE.
 * Disadvantage - Teleport requires Astral Runes, which take a while to purchase on the G.E. Hint: purchase runes prior.

Cloth Run (M)
Bolts of Cloth can be bought at the Varrock sawmill, banked in the most eastern of Varrock's banks, and sold on the Grand Exchange for 850 coins each. Doing so will give a profit of approximately 2,700 coins per minute, high agility level and light to no armor are recommended due to running distance. Also boots of lightness are useful. Pack animals are also recommended.

Cat Trading(M)
Rating: This is very easy to do provided that you have completed Biohazard, and Gertrude’s cat. Once you complete both of these make sure you have at least 15k. Go to Varrock and then to Gertrude, make sure you have 100 GP with you and buy a kitten. Once you get your kitten drop it, when you drop it this will let it grow. Walk over to a bank in Varrock and pull out 15k. When you pull this out walk over to the Grand Exchange and buy 7k worth of Sardines and 7k worth of Milk, with the remaining 1k GP you will use that on an Ardougne Teletab. Now you have the easy part finished, this next part includes a whole lot of patience. Drop your kitten and feed it only when the hunger gets to 40% or more, Leave it out while you are skilling or fighting Dragons, whatever you are doing. Make sure you stroke it every thirty minutes and take it rat catching at least ten minutes a day. When it grows into a cat give it some milk and stroke it. Leave it out as you won’t need any food anymore just give it attention. Do this until it grows into a overgrown cat, reward it with milk and a stroke, put this in your bank and then repeat the process over again until you have twenty seven overgrown cats. Teleport to East Ardougne using your teletab and then walk on over to West Ardougne, once here go to a citizen and use the cat on him or her and then you get 100 death runes. Repeat until all your cats are gone. Viola! You just made 2.7k Death runes! You can now sell them and make a fortune!

Sinew making
Rating:

To make sinew simply choose "make sinew" when using raw beef on a range/fire. The sinew sell for about 100-130gp each on the Grand Exchange. There are three ways of getting beef (listed below). After you get the beef and bank it, find a range or light a fire near a bank, and then use the beef with the range/fire.

Note making sinew has a small risk of burning the beef

Ways of getting beef:
Cheap way This method is very simple but requires an area to be unlocked. Its profit is only 8gp less then the "long way" (below):

To use this method first you must have access to Canifis or Chargurr (Chargurr is located in the city of Oo'glog). Buy beef from any of these two locations for only 8gp and then bank it. This will result of a profit of about 100-110gp (120-8=112).

Easy way This method is the easiest but will make only half the profit of the other two:

Simply buy the beef on the Grand Exchange and bank it. This will yield a small profit of only about 50gp because beef on the GE cost about 60-70gp(120-70= about 50).

Long way This method makes the largest profit but takes A LOT of time:

Just kill cows and bank their beef. The recommended place is the the "Lumbridge gnomecopter cow field" because there is a deposit box in the gnome copter area. (This area has many trees and oaks so you could bring and axe and tinderbox and make sinew on the spot and then deposit it. This method will make a total profit of 100-120gp (not including expense on weapons and/or axe and tinder box)

Desert Goat Horns
50+ combat recommended. Get about 800gp and take desert carpets to Nardah and kill desert goats and pick up the horns and bank in Nardah. Use pestal and mortal to get desert goat horn dust. They sell for about 800gp each. They usualy sell instantly. This can make 160k an hour.

Climbing boots
This is a very efficient but tedious way of making money. The player goes to Tenzing and repeatedly asks for climbing boots.Each pair of Climbing boots costs the player 12gp, so an effective thing to do is take 336gp with you in an iventory,and nothing else.when the player has a full inventory of climbing boots,he/she can then either descend the mountain or use a combat bracelet,and then bank at either the Warrior's Guild or the Rogue's Den minigame bank. This method requires the player to have completed Troll Stronghold up to the point where the player can buy climbing boots,as well as the required stats to enter the Warrior's guild to save time.This method is also very reliant on the Grand exchange price of Climbing boots,but usually a player can get 100 Climbing boots for 1,200 coins and sell them for around 80,000. On average,it can take a player as little as 20 minutes to make 270,000 gp. However,this method can be very tedious as the player has not got the option to right click and select buy x, and must therefore go through the same dialogue 28 times in order to buy 1 inventory full.However,it only takes around 2 minutes for 1 inventory.

Tips and hints

 * The RuneScape official forums or the forums of a clan site can be used to help money makers buy and sell items.
 * The Grand Exchange in the specified trade worlds (Worlds 1-6, etc.) is the busiest trading centre for both free players and members.


 * Members with a high enough combat(70+) level can kill the various dragons for their bones and dragonhides and good loot, but don't forget your anti-dragon shield!! Bring Antifire potion if using a 2-handed weapon.


 * With 70 Agility Member's can use the pipe, near the ladder, in the Taverley dungeon for easy access to the Blue Dragon. This is called "farming". it consists of a BoB (Beast of Burden) and Falador teleport tabs. it can be extremely quick cash (300k+ an hour on good days, depending on familiar BoB) and provides decent training too.


 * In the God Wars Dungeon, players can go and kill monsters that have amazing drops. The Player must have at least 60 strength Or level 60 agility to enter the God War's Dungeon, and note, it is extremely dangerous in there so bring food(sharks and up recommended).
