mrmyk Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 I just turned on the tv and saw the apprentice with a question being involved: Can you start a succesful business from scratch in this day and age? He started his business in a different time and has around 800 million now and was wondering if it was possible. Now remember when phats were maxing at around 50mil. A lot of people got them back then and still have them mainly because it is much harder to get the required money now due to the rise in prices. Is it possible to get a phat from scratch in a reasonable amount of time? (4 months maximum) i chose 4 months because most of us here have decent lives and are busy so don't say "4 months of playing 12hours a day doing [insert job]" Proud Retired Council of The GladiatiorzClick here for our website - 110+ F2P Combat Requirements Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cloudwolf Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 I believe its possible, but you'd have to get some lucky merching breaks, and be able to access high selling objects (such as rune mining). It is possible imo.

Behind_you0 Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 If you would Barrow with Guthan's 3-4 hours a day, and only would do Barrows it would be possible. :anxious: I did it in about 2 years.

4nr Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 Give us some more information? Skills levels? If you have 91 runecrafting, it's totally possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hohto Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 Yes, it's possible. The best merchants for example can make enough money to buy a new phat in relatively short time. Good staker might need one night to get materials to stake and a little starting bet which he then puts to grow. It's hard, but it's far away from impossible. With skills it'll most likely take months, but still: it's possible. I personally worked with skills and managed to make 98m to buy a purple phat like 10 months ago. I'd rather die for what I believe in than live for anything else.Name Removed by Administrator ~Turtlefemm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xSxqPowerx Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 I brought my total value from like 30m to 140m to buy a purple hat quite recently. Didn't even merchant or stake. So yeah, it's possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
runescapeloser22 Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 Get Papyrus, 10 Spools of Thread, a Needle, use them all together and you get an "Uncolored Partyhat" then use Blue Dye from Aggie the Witch and you have a Blue Partyhat from scratch! :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nitemare100 Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 I'm pretty sure that if you merchant a few hours a day you can do it within 4 months by merchanting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Severation Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 Would staking count? I'm sure you could make a decent staker in under 4 months. However, winning enough is a different story. I guess it's all down to luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianer101 Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 Yeah, it wouldn't be too hard if you go DKing every day for four months with a skilled 4 or 5 person team. "If you have nothing constructive to say, don't say anything at all." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duke_Freedom Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 Yes that's still possible. Ofcourse it used to be easier though. The value of my bank at its height.

Esper_Jones Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 Yeah, it wouldn't be too hard if you go DKing every day for four months with a skilled 4 or 5 person team.

Robert_Rdam Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 Yeah I'm sure you can get it. I'd spend a month, getting around 7 clues a day. Hoping for 3rd age, I'll know I won't get, doesn't matter. :P Then woodcut a lot, maybe do barrows and Dk, you surely will be busy. :) Credits to Skully Sc for the signature.

Much nmore with enough runners to make it worth while at the nat/law altar tho. And 4 months...does he mean from lvl 3 (lvl 1 skills all round)? Or is from scracth, financially from scratch?

12pure34 Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 Very possible. Though harder. But really, I prefer to have a decent good looking outfit and all my skills up a tad, then a hat on my head :-k I know it requires hard work and a lot of patience. Which I do not find worth it. I think if you DO find it worth it. All the time and effort, then you have a much greater chance to do it. But it would require skills. Actual 99's or 91's ;) or merchanting skills, DK'ing skills, KQ' skills. Barrows skills. YOu name it... you will need it : If you really want something, it can be done =D> (great qoute) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VortexxM Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 Is it possible to make a phat from scratch nowadays? Possible to make the cash needed to buy one yes it is. Easy? Nope :shame: Three ways: 1. Fighting (pkin or staking) Fast Very Risky 2. Merchanting Fast Risky 3. Skilling Slow Not Risky Note: You need some money to start both 1 and 2 so must skill for it.
