Back From a Break, Need Some Help on What to Merchant

[DegenerateX]

Well I have 20m right now but apparently the tall and true merchanthing methods I had used (Infinity -> Prayer Potions -> Ranger Sets) aren't making me the money they used to.

 

 

 

I know it's not in the best interest for someone to reveal what they merchant but if for some reason you don't mind please pm me.

 

 

 

Also I've been looking at prayer potions again (best money make ever 12.5m in a day) but the market seems to have no sellers anymore everytime I look and most of the forum does not have them in bulk anymore. Where have all the p pots gone?

My advice.. you'll ignore it but here it is anyway...

 

 

 

Nothing.

 

 

 

Make money while raising skills. It's more rewarding, less tedious and helps you in the long run.

-.- He's looking for merchanting advice, not people telling him to go skill and ditch merchanting...

 

You can merchant: Herbs, cheap rares(easters, pumpkins), combat supplies(whips, barrow sets, dark bows, etc), TT items(not too sure how effective this is), ores, bars, etc.

 

Take a look at the good merchanting guides on these forums for good information.

I would generally go with rares, high priced combat items, and raw materials. However, I have been out of the merchanting game ever since I got members, so I'm not entirely sure. Rares seem to be a never-fail option, although you would want some more cash to work with before you start that.

 

 

 

As for the prayer pots... my theory is that when Jagex released the update in which you can see what type of herb you have, pure accounts started picking up their drops.

 

 

 

I remember in the past, time and time again, when I would be training at the fire giants, and pures would leave herbs all over the ground. Majority of the herbs I picked up were ranarrs, and because most pure accounts don't have high non-cb stats they were unaware of what they had left behind. Now they can simply see what herb it is, and bank it to sell later.

K the 1st poster, the only skill I actualy care about is range and I want to raise it as fast as I can. To get 99 range I want to use the fastest way there which is red chins on ape atoll but which will cost me about 40m in money. I don't care about other skills and therefore don't care how they can help me in the long run. Merchanting will always be more profitable than any skill level 99. You can try to argue that you can make 1.2m an hour from rcing nature, and my argument will be I can make the same amount if not more from merchanting in that time.

 

 

 

As for the smaller rares - Easter and Pumpkins as well as Disks of Return are very hard to sell items as no one particularly wants these rares as you can't wear them.

 

 

 

For the bigger rares like Santas it's true I can buy and sell one and make an easy 200k-300k profit, however with my current money supply I would only be able to buy and sell one at a time. Something which is very hard to do when you have competition selling and buying too (in which case its sometimes necesary to buy out your competition to get a monopoly).

 

 

 

Dark Bows are hard to sell in my expiriences as well, however I might give them another shot if you say so.

 

 

 

Maybe whips seeing as I could buy about 20 of them and its always nice to have stuff in bulk. Not sure what the prince influxes are though so I'll have to check it out first.

 

 

 

Barrow Sets are a waste of time in my opinion however I have seen people be very succesful in the past with them. In truth there's not so much demand for them with better and better (and sometimes cheaper) stuff being released all the time.

 

 

 

I haven't tried bars or ores since f2p so I might have to check that out.

MAX 30m for 99 ranged :wink: .

[DegenerateX]

Can you please show me some math because I figured out I made

 

246,930 xp on average per trip

 

and use 2124 red chins on average per trip.

 

 

 

I'm at 90 range so I have 7,578,416 left to go to 99 range.

 

 

 

 

 

(XP to 99) divided by XP per trip = 30.69 trips

 

30.69 trips * 2124 red chins per trip = 65,187 red chins.

 

65,187 * price per red chin = about 40m

 

 

 

Please explain to me where my logic is wrong?

 

I know that I might start to get a little bit more xp as my level gets higher but nothing to drastic to make the cost go down significantly.

 

 

 

And actualy I havent even factored in the cost of prayer pots yet.

[DegenerateX]

I read some people were getting 200k xp per 1k chins.

 

How the hell is that possible I half that xp per 1k chins.
