The RuneScape World 2 Trading Survival Guide

[qeltar]

My latest Special Report is not on a new update but rather something near and dear to most of our hearts: World 2, and especially the World 2 Falador marketplace. My full report, called The RuneScape World 2 Trading Survival Guide, explains what World 2 and the Fally market are about, tells you when to use it and when to avoid it, and how to take best advantage of it without going crazy, dying or getting scammed.

 

 

 

What will probably be of more interest to folks here are the trading location maps that I've created. These were hand-assembled from over 120 screenshots in World 2 Fally and then pain-stakingly blended and cleaned in Photoshop. The small one is an overview map about 1000 pixels wide, while the large one, at 5 megapixels, is the largest, most detailed trading location map of World 2 Fally ever published.

 

 

 

I've included the small map below for your reference, along with a description of the map. The detailed map uses a Flash viewer that I can't embed in the forums, but you can find it here.

The RuneScape World 2 Trading Survival Guide - Overview Trading Location Map

 

 

 

As I mentioned in my overview of the World 2 marketplace, the large variety of items traded in World Falador has led to the development of dozens of specific trading locations. There are no markings or other indications of which goods are traded where within the game itself, so it can be very hard for those who are not experienced at trading in World 2 to figure out where particular items are exchanged.

 

 

 

To help you find the right place to buy and sell, I created a trading location map, which I have put online in two versions: the smaller overview map on this page, and a larger detail map.

 

 

 

The background of the map was created from over 120 actual screenshots that encompass most of World 2 Falador. These screenshots were masked, combined and blended manually in Photoshop, a process taking many hours, and cleaned up to remove artifacts and glitches. Finally, I overlaid them with colored ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ãâ¦Ã¢â¬ÅcloudsÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬ÃâÃ

Wow that's awesome. \

 

 

 

Haven't seen one of these maps in ages. Surprising that nothing has really changed since I left Runescape many months ago.

Very nice map, but wrong forum i think.

[qeltar]

Might be, and I apologize if so. I've posted my reports here before but perhaps this should be somewhere else.

[Moonshadow]

Nice, do it for world one, and you will be my hero :)

[goldbaloney]

wow...thats really awesome. IM so putting this in my favorites lol.

[bbjoe282]

[jessy87]

this could have been better defined. still good, but i mean detail is lacking which isnt a big deal.

[Napalm]

Awesome map, 9/10 because it doesn't show place where partyhats are sold.

 

BTW your web has some other awesome guides :thumbsup:

It sorta does, it says north of Falador.

[Embraced]

9/10, very good map. Obviously alot of time and effort has been put into it, but the outcome is great. :thumbsup:

[rook_2222]

I like that map of yours :thumbsup: .I hope the Grand Exchange doesn't ruin the Runescape economy on Rares/Bulk items (coal, essence, runes, secondary ingredients for Herblore, etc.) Even though I don't play Runescape very often, I would hate to see all the prices of things drop/rise dramatically.

[Zaaps1]

You should tell us how many times you come up in your picture, then we could try to find you. That might be fun!

 

 

 

Seriously now (although please do add that!) this is a very good guide. Although there are the other Fally Maps out there, I like this one the best. Great work!

[Beastly2h]

Nice map, but could you get one for F2P Varrock?

[qeltar]

World 1 Varrock is pretty small compared to World 2 Fally so I can probably do that one at some point.

[redrune345]

nice guied :D i will use it when ever i get into that world :wall:

[Olbritishchap]

Insane pic, how'd you do that? :shock:

 

 

 

9/10, great guide

[gregmister2]

10/10!!!

[qeltar]

9/10, great guide

 

 

 

Thanks for all the nice comments, everyone.

 

 

 

The map took many hours of work. As you move around the angles and sizes of all the buildings and walls change so getting it all to look good is difficult.

 

 

 

Be sure to also look at the larger map. I can't embed it here but it has a lot more detail.

Nice map, but you forgot something. The barrows area also exists out of 3 different parts, I don't know them all on top of my hat but karils is near the statue, ahrims just west of that, dharock is on and north of the bridge and verac is just east of that. Hope that helps.

On the summary map all of Barrows is one region. The larger map splits up the Barrows area into smaller regions.

 

 

 

I can't put the viewer here, but the detail map is located at this link: http://www.truthscape.com/w2large
