dutchphoenix Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 Like the title says I'm currently broke. I have like 40k on the bank and some random stuff like cannon (sold my whip for it :ohnoes: ) Currently I'm slaying but I don't make much money of it. So my question is if you can come up with an idea to make some money. Please not something teadious(?) like mining or fishing. Something fun would be great : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CampbellMC Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 Try not slaying with a cannon? If you are poor why would you have something that is very expensive to use. Slayer will make money if you train it right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foooman Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 Try not slaying with a cannon? If you are poor why would you have something that is very expensive to use. Slayer will make money if you train it right. Bought it for kalphite task. Didn't want to spend all the time on killing them. Although a cannon is really useful for some tasks, a whip is useful for all tasks. Selling it for a cannon was a mistake. Using a cannon to train slayer is a huge drain on money and I really wouldn't recommend it if you are looking to make money. If you wanted the Kalphites to go rather quickly, you should have either canceled the task, Burthorped the task, or spent a half hour killing the level 28 Kalphite workers.

CampbellMC Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 Skip them then. Use points, not burthrope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dutchphoenix Posted October 2, 2008 Author Share Posted October 2, 2008 K After I'm done with this task I'm going to sell the cannon and cannonballs so I got some money in the pocket. And with skipping tasks using points: I'm not going to do that! EDIT: I sold my cannon and cannon balls and I'm now up to 1021k. What to do now? -Continue slaying? -doing something else? EDITEDIT: Bought myself a whip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kietaro1 Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 Well as it seems that you enjoy combat, slayer is really the only way you would make decent money. But there are several things that you can do everyday to make money. Buy Seaweed and pineapples from Arhein's shop just south of Catherby shop. You pay 2 gold for seaweed that is worth 189 gold currently. You get 80/day. Pineapples likewise are 2 gold each but I would suggest making super compost from them as you will make more money + small farming exp. Buy Battlestaves from Zaff in Varrock. Regardless of your crafting level or what level Varrock Armor you have, buy all that you can. Either craft them into battlestaves or sell them on the GE for a profit. And lastly, make sure to complete Royal Trouble and Throne of Misc. And use the Manage Thy Kingdom mini-game. Best money makers atm are flax and fish. Then maybe mining. Do that while training slayer and you should find that within a week, you will make a pretty good profit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should try the battlestave and the pineapple/seaweed method too : P.S.: I actually don't like combat that much, it's just because I don't want to do the same thing over and over again like with mining or hunting or fishing.

guywho Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 while you slay do MTK and farming a batch of herbs it takes what about 75 min to grow. that should be enough time to do some slayer tasks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidium Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 good way will be to do herb runs using snap seeds or ranars and remember to plant marigolds too...these are in high demand. while waiting for your herbs to grow you can rc which makes you quite a good sum of money every hour...by doing this you can probably get about 300k an hour at least depending on what herbs you grow, what runes you craft and how you craft them. maxed out melee on 10/10/08, current goal: 94/99 cookinglife may be unfair, but why can't it be unfair in my favor?my fake plant died because i forgot to pretend to water it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cat666 Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 As previously advised sell your cannon and get your whip back. Slayer only becomes profitable at higher levels 65+ and even then it's not a definate income, just enough to tide you over. Once you hit the big levels, 83+ you can then afford to start cannoning some tasks as the occasional drag boots/whip drop will pay for a round or two on cannon balls. At your levels you need a money making side. MTK worked for me, I was able to turn 525k into just over a million per week then live off the 600k. MTK isn't as good these days, but you can still profit. You can also try merchanting, or like people said herb farming. You want something you can do quickly and easily, so you can get back to slaying asap. Trust the Gene Genie! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeDaStudd Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 Pretty much it. *Farm ranarrs/snaps and marigolds. *MTK *High alch slayer drops (im talking about addy+ items not mystic, etc.) -Kill green dragons (in choas tunnel) The 3 with a * can be done between (or on for the alching) tasks, and will give you a constant money flow for slayer. Killing green dragons nets you over 45k per trip (10 minutes per trip max) and is great for a quick cash boost.

Fools_Taco Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 Try not slaying with a cannon? If you are poor why would you have something that is very expensive to use. Slayer will make money if you train it right. Bought it for kalphite task. Didn't want to spend all the time on killing them. If you blew that much of your total wealth on a cannon because you dident want to take the time to slay a few hundred kalphites then you dont have the patience to make cash. Nothing we advise will break your ADHD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dutchphoenix Posted October 3, 2008 Author Share Posted October 3, 2008 I have ADD and I can agree with the accusation. Well I'm sure that I don't got ADHD. Maybe I should be more concentrated on some stuff. Probably try the farming methods. Got some toadflax seeds in the bank left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twinblade137 Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 Yer mate cannon is like shooting away cash, it's fast but hurts you alot. IF you take your time, and be patient with slayer you'll reep the rewards and hopefully one day you'll get a good drop to get you back on your feet, if not just try running double nats in w36 i hear it brings in descent cash \ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obfuscator Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 slayer makes good money, you could also try runecrafting :) "It's not a rest for me, it's a rest for the weights." - Dom Mazzetti Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
