Fast money making guide for F2P

[Darthaler]

--Guide on how to make fast money in F2P by Darthaler--

 

 

 

 

 

1-Intro

 

 

 

Many people in Freeplay think it's really hard to make even low amounts of cash like 100k and above. This is wrong, as long as you know how to use your skills, it's actually very easy. In my main account, I got:

 

 

 

-10k From lvl 1 to 10 and full steel

 

-50k from lvl 10 to 20 and full studded (changed to ranger) with alot of runes and stuff in bank

 

-100k from lvl 20 to 30, kept full studded, alot of jewels, runes, mithril arrows...

 

-130k from lvl 30 to 40 and a full d hide set, i've done dragon salyer at lvl 36 with crossbow and shield, all quests achieved...

 

-200k from lvl 40 to 50 with a full rune set, full d hide set....

 

-500k from lvl 50 to 60 with guthix shield and helment, and loads of items in bank, specially expensive stuff

 

-250k from lvl 60 to 67 with full rune t at lvl 60 and all that expensive stuff...

 

 

 

These are my stats. I suggest you get something like this if you want to get fast cash from skills. It took me over 6 months of hard working though ^^ but what you can get from working is answome though

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2-Now, what skills you'll need...

 

 

 

-Mining and smithing is the most usefull skill in this game to become rich. Level that the most you can, it's annoying but you get more cash from that than from woodcutting.

 

 

 

-Woodcutting in my opinion is only good when you get lvl 30-40 and 70-80. (for willows and yews)

 

 

 

-Crafting is the most usefull skill when you get 70 mining and 70 crafting, so you can mine gold easly and make power amulets. But it's quite hard to get those levels.

 

 

 

-Ranging is a combat skill but it's cheap and usefull against cows, because most people melee on cows, and they're very usefull: their hides are sold for 100gp each, what means that 100 hides are worth 10k. It should be your main combat skill.

 

 

 

-You can't make cash from cooking and fishing, but i'm not saying they're useless skills, for me they're the second most important and they're the easyest to lvl.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

3-Money from hunting (not the hunting skill...)

 

 

 

-Cows are your best friend for fast money making. Collecting hides in the beggining is hard but it becomes easyer later, specialy if you have a bow and arrows, so people don't steal your cow. Sell your cowhides in Al Kharid. If you can afford bow and arrows, then I strongly suggest going for it, because with 200 iron arrows you should have enough for at least 200 cowhides. You can buy 200 iron arrows with 3000gp or below, and you'll get 20k from the cowhides. Means you'll get 17-18k. Melee is cheaper but way slower, so it's your choice. If you have enough ranging level, you'll only need crossbow and bolts. Bolts are worth gp each and you don't need to collect them, so it's even faster.

 

 

 

-Chickens are good for low lvls, you can sell their feathers for 5gp each. 1000 feathers are easy to get and you can make a profit from them to buy low lvl stuff. Sell the feathers in the chicken farm near the cows in lumbridge.

 

 

 

-Giants are the best thing there is for high levels, you can sell their big bones for 300gp each in Varrock. Nothing too hard here, ranging will make you go faster than anything without spending much cash. Plus, if you melee giants in edgeville dungeon you'll rarely kill one, while when you range, you'll get every giant.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

4-Now, how to make cash from your skills...

 

 

 

 

 

Mining: Make 500 steel bars and sell them all in Falador bank for 250-275-300k. It will take you a full day of work if you're low lvl, but later you can do it faster. Below lvl 30 mining and smithing in my opinion it's useless. I've done this from lvl 30 to lvl 64 mining and you get really rich from doing it, you can get full rune t in 4 days of work, but it's annoying, just talk with a friend while doing it, it goes faster.

 

 

 

 

 

This is where you should mine coal. Coal rocks are often crowded, and are very hard to mine in the beggining. This mining site is to the west of the lumbridge swamp.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Crafting: Make silver tiaras/holy symbols and sell them in a general shop, or just wait for lvl 70 to make diamond amulets.

 

 

 

Killing cows for their cowhides is fast and gives good amounts of money. But the lumbridge cow farm is often crowded, so you should go to the farm to the suth of falador, the one in the image.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Woodcutting: Sell willows for 25gp each at draynor bank and yews for 250gp each in edgeville/varrock.

 

 

 

Yews are almost allways surrounded by macroers. This is an extremely rare situation when there are no macroers around a yew tree. In edgeville yews you almost never see macroers though, so I suggest you go there.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

5-About levels for hunting

 

 

 

-Level 1 to 10: Sell feathers at chicken farm for 5 gp each

 

-Level 10 to 30: Sell cowhides at al kharid for 100gp each, but get them in south falador, it's too hard in lumbridge.

 

-Level 30 and over: Sell big bones for 300gp each at varrock bank.

Good guide! Explains a lot about F2p money making, thanks! =D>

[runescapetimes]

[juicce]

[mithb]

A Okay guide, sorry but I STRONGLY Disagree with fishing and cooking is worthless skills.

 

 

 

Fishing in f2p (Once level 40, yes, takes you a while to get lobs and bank but GREAT food and at 250 per lob, easy money). More or less likely f2p players become p2p even for a month and Catherby and the fishing guild you make MAD Money on lobsters and sharks.

 

 

 

Fishing is gives you food, which you need to train, mabye that's why you perfer to waste arrows on cows rather than meleeing them? Everyone melee cows because it is the cheapest way to go. So I basically see what concept your coming from.

 

 

 

I'd think I know since im level 78 fishing, fish for money and food. I made over 2 mil on sharks alone and over 5mil on lobsters. On top of that, I don't have to PAY 250 per lob or 500 per shark.

 

 

 

As far as the guide goes 5/10 No pictures all text makes it kind of boring.

I -never- said fishing are worthless. I said they are useless for making cash in f2p, and you're a member. The only lobster fishing spot in freeplay, ignoring the one in wildy, is like 3 minutes away from the bank, while yews/willows/coal rocks/ironrocks are 10 seconds-1 min away from banks. Thats why I don't suggest fishing.

 

 

 

 

 

EDIT: I've improved the guide, images and icons have been added :)

ok guide, except cowhides is terrible money unless ur like just starting the game

 

 

 

at those lvls, mining iron would probly be the best method

[viz94]

Good guide!But 1 advice: Lesser Demons are good for high lvl combats and Ankous are even better. ( Rune Med Helms and Laws respectively)

Lets supposed you have to cash and you really need 10k fast, what would you do?

 

 

 

@viz: Indeed, but you have 1 chance out of 200 and 1 chance out of 150 if you have a members ring (i don't know it's name) of getting a rune med. Ankous are fine for levels 80 though :)
