It goes down.

If you're just starting follow the route I did on my new main, since I'm experienced I made 1m in just 2 days on a lvl 3 account! Starting completely from scratch. Here's how, after this you can decide to be a pure and fund yourself, or take the better route and make a main. I'm making a pure staker, and after I make 100m(really shouldn't be too hard) I'm going to turn it into a full on main and begin questing, so here's how. Keep your bronze pic off of tut island and go staright to varrock east mine, mine 1k copper and 1k tin, this really won't take as long as it sounds and then smelt them all in al kharid. Sell the bars for 200 ea, now you just made 200k, you never have to mine again. Now you take the 200k and buy iron ores at 100 ea, be sure to buy enough rings of forging to not lose any profit. Now sell the bars you made(should be about 1800 bars) for 250gp ea. Now you're up to 450k, repeat the same process and this should get you up to about 1m. Now you're at the point where you can start merching. I haven't gotten to the merching stage yet, but using this little guide you'll be a very sucessful new player. Just remember, skills BEFORE combat, or you won't be happy cuz you'll need armor, you'll need food, you won't be able to get it. (I haven't done it, but I've also heard that mining ess from lvl 1 and RCing will turn VERY profitable after only a couple of weeks.)

i just bought iron ore and smelted em, thx for the help.

Please, if you're going to give advice know what you're talking about. "A few more def" would give him.... MORE than 40 def and on an f2p pure that's bad. So no, don't get a few more def, keep your def where it is, do the quest and then get the remainder.

no, their m.def is too high. don't do it.

I sell bars for 250 ea= 140 profit per iron ore. I pay 110 each ore smelt and then sell the product for 250. w/ knives I lose the 50 and only make 200.

I probably won't ever KQ at 63 combat, and I should know that but I just came back after 3 years and am starting completely over from lvl 3. I'm making money smithing and merching and it's going pretty well, I don't understand why noobs complain about money when I made my first mill after 3 days of playing after school and work. and to the above poster thanks, w/ 2 people saying it I'll buy torags and a whip.

I'll be a pure 70 50 70 staker. I guess I should have said that in the opening post lol. And it was going to take weeks to get enough money for veracs+staking money, using torags and a whip I can do it by Sunday! now I just need the melee stats

Thank you, also should I bring a ddp++ or turn specs off?

but wouldn't it be *like* seeing a drop party, and instead of reaping the benefits on your main, getting on a pure. all it really is is someone dropping their armor(against their will w/e) and him saying he just dropped all of his armor, let me get on my lvl 3.

:D I wasn't saying anything, I'm actually doing the same thing. Except I'm not really a skiller, I'm just only working on skills until I make 6m, then I'll start on my melee stats so I can fund my character w/o drop trading or buying GP. But yeah, go for 40 ranged, I think lvl 3 skillers are stupid, why ahve all those 99s and all that money w/ nowhere for it go besides other 99s and your main :shame:

I've recently been smelting a lot of iron bars and now I have 10k sitting in my bank and I have to decide if I want to sell them or make iron knives out of them for the extra smithing exp, but then i noticed you get 5 knives @40gp ea that's only 200. So all that extra work and I lose 50gp a bar. I don't understand why anyone would make iron knives, unless they just want the extra exp w/o losing any money. Or am I missing something.

I'm either going to use full veracs + flail or full torags + whip. The reason I bring this up is because on the tip.it max hit calc I'll hit higher w/ the whip than w/ the flail+I can wear a rune defender or a dragon sqr w/ the whip giving me more def or str. So which one would be a better combo? whip+torags flail+veracs

ffs it's getting ridiculous lol. I can't smelt ONE inventory w/o having to do a random. off topic can the maze random give you 94k? cuz i thought i only had 100k and now it's up to 194lol

Just so I can be sure I understand this, steel pl8s = 5 bars, 5 bars = 3k. you resale the pl8s at 1k, losing 2k per pl8? that doesn't sound good at all.

I don't think you could have gotten a warning unless you were autoing to some extent. Anyway, why would a skiller need d'hide. I don't really understand this question. and yes there's a safe spot, NW room behind the fence.

lol why are you scared of being reported if you're skilling and not autoing?

I'm a lvl 3 skiller who is taking RS pretty serious for a while until I see my first 5m, so I have public chat to hide and don't talk to anyone. When I turn chat on I'll see people talking about that macroer and I've noticed I've been getting 20 randoms an hour! So I'm wondering as you get reported do you get more randoms?

thanks for your opinion.

:D Just wondering, since hunter is a great way to make money, and I'm starting over from scratch, can someone who has no combat stats do hunter? Like I'm talking 1atk1def1str10hp.

It's just I'm going to have 1 magic/range/prayer so I'm not sure if I could do the quests even if I wanted to.

I was looking at barrows gloves and they say you have to do RFD, I don't see this happening anytime soon, but the rune gloves don't mention having to finish the quest or even starting it, so could I buy rune gloves instead?

sorry for the noob question , but I'm getting my stats right to figure out the exact str lvl I need for my pure, so can you wear gloves and boots, and also what are the best gloves and boots to wear w/ 70 def? and what's their str bonus.

Depending on how much you're planning on getting off of 1 kill, you could probably set your new char up w/ 1m in 3 days. I've had my staker for 2 days and I've already got 650k, he's lvl 3 w/ 40 mining and smithing. That's all it takes, mine iron to 40 mining, smith it w/ rings of forging and then sell the bars. After you sell the bars, buy more ore and repeat. This'll double your money, and once you get up to about 700k, start merching, that's where I'm stuck at though =)

I know what to do once I get to 1.2m, but until then I'm not too sure. I've been buying iron and then smelting it and selling the bars, this is good exp, but time consuming, so then I started buying iron arrows from shops for 6 ea and selling them at 15 ea. Now I'm looking to start buying items worth 500-600 and making 100k in merchs off of the item until I'm at 1.2 Thanks for your help.
