mc guff, I totally agree. or is it I agree totally? :oops: =P lol

better?

ah, ok.

That part. What's with that part?

U stole the pictures about the steel smelting, i saw them somewhere else... :o :shame:

Thanks for the idea. i'm also going to check how many of each way you can do in one hour. (in the skill section)

deleted the whip =)

u could combine this method with others E.G. always have 100k airs on you, always have 200k feahters on you, adn then have another way of merchanting like coal or steel bars if you set up a business.

yes i shall put in how many loads it takes to make a profit of 100k or so. is that what you mean? Yan: I always have an amount of feathers (200k) in my bank. jock: you're absolutely right i shall change it now.

what do you mean?

thanks for saying that, i'm going to get some sleep now and tomorrow i will be adding pictures (I think)

in what? more different colors? more colors at all, more pics (will be in soon)?

I just copied & pasted some cool stuff :P

have you got an idea of what things I could leave out? and that's why i added the "quick search" thing where should I put spaces then?

no comments & 30 people read it. :shock: please at least say:good guide, or bad guide you should improve... that i can improve it

Scammers [sCMR] III. Not dying (not a big part) [NODY] For quick browsing these topics press CTRL+F and then the tag after the topic you wish to read. Merchanting I. What is merchanting?[MRCT] Merchanting is a way of making money without using your skills, it focuses on making money. True merchanters donÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢t care about skills in the first place; they want cash to easily train their skills later on. II. What things should I merchant? [THNG] There are many things good for merchanting but these things take part in the ones people like/dislike: ÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâ÷ How much time it takes to merchant things. The more time it takes the more profit you will (probably) make. ÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâ÷ The amount people buy/sell. Some people want a high amount of stuff to merchant. ÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâ÷ The place people buy/sell. ÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâ÷ The amount of cash needed. ÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâ÷ The amount of cash when you should stop doing this. The things I will be talking about are: ÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâ÷ Others: o Cowhides o Feathers o Big bones o Rune ess o Lobsters o Eyes of Newt ÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâ÷ Woodcutting o Yews o Willows o Oaks o Reg. Logs ÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâ÷ Mining & Smithing o Coal o Iron ore o Steel bars o Silver ore o Gold ore Cowhides Buy for: 100-120 Sell for: 150-170 Buy where: Al-Kharid any world Sell where: Al-Kharid world 1 or forums Time: If you first find a buyer it wonÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢t take long, otherwise it takes a medium time. When: I recommend this when you have 100k-500k Comments: I suggest that you find someone who buys your cowhides before you start buying them; this will give you a faster merchant-time. You can tan them into hard leathers for 3 gp each hide. I suggest this the first time when youÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢ve got 1k hides; hard leathers can be sold for 200gp each. Which would then give you a nice starting budget 100k profit: after 2k cowhides Feathers Buy for: 4-5 Sell for: 6-8 Buy where: Varrock west world 1 Sell where: Varrock west world 1 or forums Time: Takes a long time When: suggested when you have 400k-5 mil Comments: This is the method IÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢m using now; it takes a hell of a time but gives a steady income. 100k profit: after 40-50k feathers Big bones Buy for: 250-300 Sell for: 350-400 Buy where: Varrock west any world Sell where: each Varrock west world 1 or forums Time: If you first find a buyer it wonÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢t take long, otherwise it takes a medium time. When: 300k-1 mil Comments: This is the method that you can use instead of feathers. But watch out for scammers that change big bones for regular bones, I have still got 1k reg bones. 100k profit: after 1k big bones Rune ess Buy for: 20-30 Sell for: 30-40 Buy where: Varrock east any world Sell where: Varrock east world 1or forums Time: takes not long.

[MPRF] I prefer to use either the rune ess, the coal, the feathers or the cowhides method. I usually have ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ãâ¹Ãâbout 500k feathers on me, since they sell for a decent price. I post on forums and wait for buyers. During the waiting time I either train a skill or I merchant other stuff. IV Pros & Cons [MPNC] Cowhides Pros: good cash, steady income Cons: hard to find buyers Feathers Pros: very large income Cons: takes a hell of a time Big bones Pros: many people buying/selling Cons: not a large profit Rune ess Pros: lots of people selling/buying Cons: not a large profit Lobsters Pros: many people selling, only not your price =( Cons: not many people selling/buying your price Eyes of Newt Pros: Makes Great cash, probably the best in the whole game of runescape. Cons: Takes Pretty long. Coal Pros: large profit Cons: many people buy, not many sellers, therefore I suggest buying for slightly more Iron ore Pros: many people selling Cons: few people buying Steel bars Pros: nice income Cons: not many people selling Silver ore Pros: good income Cons: not so well known, so very few people buying/selling Gold ore Pros: good income Cons: none Yews Pros: many people buying Cons: few people selling Willows Pros: good income Cons: few people selling/buying at your price Reg. Logs Pros: great income Cons: not many people selling/buying Setting up a business I What is a business? [bSNS] The focus in a business is to let people work for you, you have to have some perm buyers & sellers and some good starting cash. A tip from me: find something to do for when your business is not so expanded at the beginning. II How do you set up one? [sTUP] When setting up a business you will have to have perm buyers & workers. You will need to stick to your prices and be able to fire people if they work against your rules. You need to find people that will do your work and people who buy your stuff. III What businesses can you set up? [WHBS] There are some businesses that you can set up. Remember, a business is not the same as merchanting. So just having perm buyers sellers and keep selling & buying coal is not a business. There is an example with bars & ores. Smithing business First you will need to get your ores, I suggest you start with iron & coal. You buy iron 100 each + coal 160 each 420 each bar youÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢ll say. But, you will also pay people 50-80gp to smith your bars. YouÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢ll say ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ãâ¦Ã¢â¬ÅwonÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢t they run away with your ores laughing?ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬ÃâÃ

ifyou have lots of patience, airs DO sell at 20 each. but u should probably find some perm buyer for 18 each or so, which will change into needign at least 6 airs per ess...

if you craft them yourself, and let people run for you, you will only make profit if you get 5 airs per essence. ess: 28*25=700 runner: 2k airs:28*5=140 airs 140*20=2.8k 2.8-2.7=100gp profit each run 100/28=3.571 profit each essence 1000*3.571=3571 gp so you won't make much profit with this if you've got 5 each air. 6 each air instead of that will give you more profit, 660, 23571 gp each k ess 7 each ess will make 1220, 43571 gp 8 each ess will make 1780, 63571 gp see the pattern? 20k more each multiplication. hope this helps, But the great profit is that you get runecrafting xp!!!

Ah, yes; but people would have to start with Essence, in order to get enough money to merch airs. ;) I DID talk about airs :D

i knew this already... but the only problem is, you gotta find some perm buyers and sellers...

sorry for responding so late, how much cahs do I need to start merchanting with rares? and what should i merchant and how much to buy/sell for?

hmm... fair enough, for noob (beginner) players this is a quite nice guide i'd give it a 7.5/10 BUT noob players don't look at forums like this, they don't know about them yet so... expand it for later stages...

does anyone know a good steady way of merchanting with 2.5 mill? i'd like to hear it

i read it in the newspaper and thought it was like that. well, soz for confusing your minds =D

actually he didn't buy a house, he traded until he got something the boss of the rent company liked, he traded it to the boss, who placed him top of the list of people who want to rent :XD:
