How did you make money as a newb?

[oreocookie987]

I mined Iron till level 60, then Coal in the Guild from then on. I got to 80 Mining purely F2P doing that :P

 

 

 

Then 81-84 at Granite, and 84-85 at Iron

[Runesword760]

Well I used to sell cowhide for 110gp each until I was about level 35 I though 10k was incredible back then 8-) .

 

Other than that I just picked up each and every gold piece I find on the ground or from monsters, it really does add up over time. :thumbsup:

[Smokie]

Wayyyy back in the day when Bluerose13x had just got 99 smithing (the first to do so), the coal market exploded.

 

 

 

I forget how much it sold for, but it was quite a sum as I remember having nearly 400k at one point (which in those days was crazy good - green party hat was 200k in those days for perspective). I was a level 12 with 62 mining all said and done lol.

 

 

 

Then that market subsided and I quit for some months.

 

 

 

50-60ish combat I thieved a lot of natures - they sold for 400 gp each at one point, as I recall.

 

 

 

Somehow I always managed to squander my money ... :-k

[Lefke123]

starting from mining tin and copper, and making bronze maces to cutting willows till i could cut yews and sell for "big" cash :)

[doomtom99]

i was killing cows and then selling the c hides

[kgisme]

When i first started playing I made bronze items and the sold them to the general store for money. When I finally made 1K doing that I thought i was rich. :-w

[Lakitsym_Rose]

Luring people to take the Zamorak Wine.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Someone had to say it.

[purpieman2]

f2p- monster drops. pretty slow money maker there

 

p2p- thieving and makin prayer pots(back when they were 3k each)

[Iv_Green_vI]

Right from the start I wced Willows Then Yews :

[ugafan_2009]

When I was like level 15, I would go mine a full inv of iron ores, smelt/smith into various weapons, and sell at the gen store for like 1k gp :|.

 

 

 

When I became a member, my best friend at the time showed me how to spin flax. Eventually, I found other ways.

[meol]

I mined mining in Rimmington, Smelting in Falador, and Smithing in Doric's Anvils, then selling to the general or the shield store in there. I climbed from bronze squares and kites, to iron and lastly to steel, but getting coal was too hard for me and I found better ways to get money.

[goldbaloney]

I mined, smelted and smithed ores and then sold the armour/weaponry to the general store. :)

 

 

 

exactly that

[JimmyMcNabb]

I didn't make money... thats what made me a newb...

[Blue_Fire_Blaze]

I mined stuff then smithed making money, I also picked up anything that could be sold on for some money, I also made stuff out of cow hides and got money. :)

[robgrout]

when i first started i killed goblins and sold goblin mail to the shop :P

 

then when i became a member i soon found that picking flax was good cash

 

then my brother started to train his rc - not to be out dun i used mi small amount of cash to start rcing - soon getting 44 and then i rc'd nats to 54 then i made laws as there lower risk then .... (god this is long) ... i rc'd duble cosmics at lvl 59 (i think) i still rc to make the odd bit of cash every now and again but now i mostly barrow drops in order ( ah hood - v helm - dh pl8 - dmed - t helm) not alot but i only done about 55 runs

 

 

 

 

 

edit-

 

soz ppl i jst noticed i did mi money makeing histroy not the first way i made cash - so ill say it again 4 ppl who cant be botherd to read it all

 

 

 

-goblin mail-

[xSxqPowerx]

Well WAY back in classic I made coal certs (for some reason 5 coal sold for 2k)

 

 

 

I never really made money for a while though...

 

Finally at the start of rs2 me and my little bro mined essence until we each had full rune.

 

 

 

My next money making method was cutting yews.

 

 

 

Shortly after I became members and my money making skills somewhat progressed :)

[stopspe]

i killed dark wizards at varrock circle, then went to cabbage respawn for food, sold runes to rune shop/general store

[816_f2p_total]

mine full invent of iron smelted it smith it to full iron and sold to genny store i was thinking of this topic yesterday (before i saw it)

We dig dig dig dig dig dig dig in a mine the whole day through

 

To dig dig dig dig dig dig dig is what we like to do

 

 

 

It ain't no trick

 

To get rich quick

 

If you dig dig dig

 

With a shovel or a pick

 

In a mine (In a mine)

 

In a mine (In a mine)

 

 

 

Where a million diamonds

 

Shine

 

 

 

We dig dig dig dig dig dig dig from early morn to night

 

We dig dig dig dig dig dig dig up everything in sight

 

 

 

We dig up diamonds

 

By the score

 

A thousand rubies

 

Sometimes more

 

We don't know what we dig them for

 

We dig dig digga dig dig

 

 

 

(musical intro)

I mined.....

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

... a lot!

[hellbellz]

It's called World 66. I just ran laws until I could afford to do some things.

 

 

 

8-)

[Beest1942]

I mined, smelted and smithed ores and then sold the armour/weaponry to the general store. :)

 

Did the same :P

 

I made as many different items as possible haha, looked really cool in my inventory :)

[SQueezeEaSY]

Cut TONS of willows and sold them to the General Store for 4 gp each until I found out they were 30gp each.

 

 

 

:wall: :wall: :wall: Yes, I was that stupid.

[Mu7]

I was a new player about two years before RS2 came out. Keep that in mind.

 

 

 

I would start in east Varrock, which I called "base" in my head. I'd walk to the mine southeast of Varrock, stack up with 14 tin and 14 copper (while carrying a pickaxe and a sleeping bag) and then walk to the Falador furnace, killing the Man near the crossroads along my way. Then I'd make my 14 bars, and walk back to base (killing the Man again), where I would withdraw my hammer. I'd make 14 bronze shortswords, because those were the best money per bar, and sell them to the Varrock sword shop. Then I would bank my money, plus the loot from the Man (chaos runes were my favorite, and he dropped one at a time >_>), plus the hammer, and do it all over again. Then I did it with iron, once I could do that.

 

 

 

Every once in a while, I would see someone buying chaos runes or something else the Man dropped, and sell to them, for a bonus - although I now realize the level 60s and 70s would buy three chaos runes at a time for (what I now realize was) was more than they were worth basically out of pity :oops:

 

 

 

Once I could mine coal, I did coal certs all the way up until RS2 came out.

[PoorLepRecon]

Ummm mine would have been mining coal and chopping yews.

[y3ahyeahy3ahs]
