Hello, I am Sam, or Mmmpie466. This is my first complete guide, and i am here to share with you what may be well-known, but money-making techniques nontheless. This guide comes complete with pictures and good spelling.

 

I use the water merchanting technique often, as it is my favorite. I am just starting to merchant steel bars, as a friend told me to do so. I have done feather merchanting before, but then i moved on.

 

I am a level 17, and i currently have 150,000 gold pieces. Thank you for reading my quide! Pm me in-game at Mmmpie466 for any questions, comments, or ideas.

 

 

 

[hide=1.0 Steel Bars]

Shiny!

 

 

 

For steel bars, I would have at least 550,000 gold pieces or more. Steel bar merchanting will get you a good amount of profit, as you will get 50 profit for each steel bar you sell. Let me show you an example!

 

Let's say, Jimmy here has 550,000 gold pieces. He uses it all to buy 1,000 steel bars. Then he thinks "Hmmm, i dont want to go through all the work of making all those steel platebodies", so he finds out that he can sell them for 600 each, 50 more than what he bought them for, and then he says "Hey! that's a great idea!" and then he sells them for 600,000 gold pieces, 50,000 more than what he had originally. And, the more money you spend on merchanting, the more profit you get![/hide]

 

 

 

[hide=2.0 Water runes]

 

waterrunepngrz1.png

 

Aah, good ol' water runes.

 

 

 

Water runes, my favorite. If you want to merchant water runes, you need to go to the port sarim rune shop with at least 100,000 gold pieces, then you buy all the water runes you can untill the shop stock is at 2,000 water runes. World hop, rinse and repeat! Buy water runes untill you stock of money is echausted, then sell for 25 each! will be easier if you are a member and sell on the forums. You double your money!

 

 

 

[hide=3.1 Where to sell water runes]

 

If you go on a crowded world, you go to varrock west bank, and southeast of the door. you should be not to the east edge of the bank, but right between it, then sell to your heart's content! (or to your stock's content.) Or, if your a member, you can sell from anywhere, just post on the forums![/hide][/hide]

 

 

 

[hide=3.0 Feathers]

 

featherpngtx1.png

 

Freshly plucked!

 

 

 

Feather merchanting is one for those people with not so much money. You buy them for 5 each, and sell them for 6, or even 7,8,9,10 each! you can get up to 5x of what you spent. The formula goes like this. F=feathers. P=profit

 

5F=P

 

 

 

[hide=3.1 Where to buy and sell feathers]

 

You buy and sell feathers in a crowded world, just west of the rundown smithery underneath the west varrock bank. You should be touching the smithery walls, or you might wander into lobster territory. There, you can do all you business and reap the rewards![/hide][/hide]

 

 

 

[hide=4.0Iron Ore]

 

ironoreuf2.png

 

 

 

Iron ores are simple. You go to a world with about 1000-1800 people in it and start buying iron ore for 100 each! dont give up! with 100k cash, you can get 1k iron ore. Then, go to a crowded world, and viola! start selling the crud outta yourself! With 1k iron ore, (100,000 gp) you can get 110,000 for selling them for 110 each!

 

 

 

[hide=4.1 Where to sell/buy Iron ore]

 

All you have to do is go to Falador east bank and buy or sell! Easy as that![/hide][/hide]

 

 

 

[hide=5.0 Coal]

 

coalqn7.png

 

 

 

Merchanting coal is a step up from iron. Same place, but sells for higer.

 

Buy for 180 gp each, and sell for 200 gp apiece! At this rate you'll have millions!

 

 

 

[hide=5.1 Where to sell/buy coal]

 

Same place as iron, Falador east bank, have fun![/hide][/hide]

 

 

 

[hide=6.0 Rune scimitars]

 

scimitarvu1.png

 

 

 

Rune scimitars are pretty easy to merchant. Buy them for 27k or less on any medium-density world from anyone with one, and then head to Varrock on world 1 and sell them for 30k or more! I have to remind you, STAY FIRM!!! Dont get suckered into selling lower!

 

 

 

[hide=6.1 Where to sell/buy rune scimitars]

 

Buy them anywhere on a medium world, and sell them at Varrock World 1 west bank. Get on the east side of the outside of the bank, thats the right section! Thanks for reading![/hide][/hide]

 

 

 

 

 

I hope you enjoyed my Money Making Book, and I hope you get lots of profit. Again, pm me ingame at mmmpie466, or pkallday466, for questions, comments, and feedback. Thank you for reading. ~mmmpie466

I am training to be pure strength! yay! Then I'll pk you all!

Sorry but this is an horrible guide... you should've done at least SOME research before posting, or even knowing what you're talking about.

 

 

 

Nobody will ever sell steel bars for 250 gp.... since it costs 300 gp to MAKE one. And yes they are usually sold for 500+

oooh sorrY! I know how much steel bars sell, for it was just a typo, im not a noob :P sorry again, ill change it.

I am training to be pure strength! yay! Then I'll pk you all!

its an ok guide so far but needs lots of improvements becuase these are seen everywhere an you want your guide to stand out right?

 

 

 

maybe add some more like yew logs willow logs planks if your a member lobsters? just finish of the basics at least so far

 

 

 

its about a 3/10 but good spelling and pictures

Tbh I'm disappointed with this guide. I haven't played this game in ages but I could still jump back into the game and make millions in days (so long as I could get a small jump start instead of starting from scratch).. I think you need more experience with merchanting before you can write a guide on it.. Maybe I'll do a little write up if I get some time.

  • Author

thank you for the feedback, this is my first guide, and the only post ive got feedback on! I feel so happy now. Maybe I could research and keep practicing writing guides. Even though I wont have that much time, because im learning to program, and im stuck in a good book, I bet i could still fit in some research time. (and runescape time :D )

I am training to be pure strength! yay! Then I'll pk you all!

you dont need much pratice its great for spelling etc. and pictures nice layout you just need to add more information on things to merchant f2p because i am guessing you are writing this f2p? otherwise you need to add things like planks bloods etc :o

  • Author

yes, it is f2p. Thank you! you are postive feedbacker #1!

I am training to be pure strength! yay! Then I'll pk you all!

Wow...It's very short. I think you should give more things to merchant. Nobody is going to get a Santa Hat from Steel Bars, Water Runes, and Feathers. :P

 

 

 

P.S: Aww, I didn't get to flame you for saying that Steel Bars are 250 each. :lol:

 

 

 

P.S.S: Umm, you forgot to edit the part where it says that he merchants it and gets 300k...He should get 600k.

Always gargle before a takeoff. Wakka Wakka!

i'm f2p and i've learned some things. been playing RS 2+ years though i am a noob in merchanting...rofl..anyway. I like this guide..others one are to long and boring, i like the "just get to the point" guides.

I really like your layout and the usage of hidden elements, but this guide requires way more content with a wider range of merchanting materials.

i noticed u missed a key spot to sell....

 

members forum... expectally if u have a million or so worth (or a few 1,000)

 

 

 

members forum prices as generally top of the line... which is why u want to avoid buying from the members forum...

 

even nonmembers can look at the forum (and search it) they just can't reply to topics or make new topics.
