Runescape money, runescape gold

Runescape Money is a much discussed topic, especially amongst beginner players who are still learning the skills to survive in the game Runescape. There are actually many ways to make money in Runescape, few of which will be discussed in the following paragraphs. However as Jagex rules mandates, always keep off unlawful methods such as trading online to accumulate Runescape wealth. Jagex rule 12 clearly states what can be done and what should not be done in that regard. So, if some website offers to sell Runescape gold, never take that offer.


To begin with, for those who play Runescape for free, the package of options for making some serious Runescape money is relatively very small. One among the few worthy options available is to train your melee to collect big bones from hill giants. Once collected a good amount of big bones, then you could sell it in bulk for 300gp each. For starters, this way, they could train their melee stats and improve his/her chances of gaining Runescape wealth via wilderness. The other methods available for free players to make a decent income are to become an expert in iron ore mining and cutting oak logs. Each iron ore could earn 100gp now.

However on a professional scale every player must have at least 40 Mining. If yours is less than 40 at present, try to reach that level by mining copper at South Varrock mine for level 1-20 and after that mine iron ore from the mines near Varrock or Rimmington. Once reached 40 mining, it must be easier to mine coal then. But, even though 40 Mining for coal is only required, it can be a tougher task at that level. For members, do coal mining at the mine near Ardougne. A bank is close by. For free players, the best place is Dwarven mines, but with no nearby banks.


Smithing is another Runescape money spinner, which has been voted as the most important non-combat skill in the official Runescape Polls. Basically, smithing is a tough job, and to become a good enough smither in the game, one needs to be at least 48 Smithing. This is the way it should be if you want to make maximum Runescape money – with your money, buy ores; if you don’t have money, mine it oneself. For 1-15 levels, smith 131 bronze bars; from level 15-30, smith either 293 iron bars or 592 bronze bars; up to level 48, smith either 1,267 steel bars or 1,858 iron bars. This method can be combined with high alchemy for reaping a fortune.

For High Alchemizing, one needs a minimum of 55 Magic. With this level, and good smithing and mining ability as backup, the player can smith Steel Platemail for Runescape money. Those with high fletching levels can go for Magic or Yew bows. More bows you fletch, more Runescape money falls in your kitty.

Merchanting is another way for making Runescape money, which involves buying and selling items such as armor, food, and weapons. It won’t help the player to acquire any new skills, but definitely improves one's understanding of the different dimensions of the Runescape economy. As a thumb rule, in merchanting, buy for low and sell for higher prices. Further, keep in mind that one may need at least 500,000gp investment to reap a good profit in the game. Having a chain of suppliers in place is also a way to make Runescape money as it will ensure a continuous supply of raw materials, whenever it is required.


Dragon and Giant slaying that brings things such as Prayer Potions, Anti-DragonBreath Shield, and Ring of Wealth and, a back-up friend, and lots of good food like shark and bass, could help in earning more Runescape money in the long run. Fishing and Rune crafting, on the other hand, is not only useful for making Runescape money but also could be of use for one’s own survival. In the case of Runes, the player need at least level 35. In order to reach there from level 1, make Air Runes from 4,482 Rune Essence. From 35-44, one must try making Chaos Runes using 3,911 Rune Essence.

Tactically, even though it is possible to sell Chaos Runes for 200gp max, one must consider saving it for Magic Up. Once at 44, one can make Nature Runes that could fetch anywhere between 300 and 500gp.

The ultimate success in the game Runescape is all about how well one mixes all his/her skills and tactics effectively. And this is something that cannot be spoon-fed, but that has to be acquired through experience. Hope these points will help one to get a head start with Runescape and yes, making Runescape money.
