warren211 Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 Whether you're a slayer, monster hunter, or just an adventurer, we all sooner or later stumble upon one of the most common yet overlooked drops in runescape: Coins. Almost every monster in runescape drops them, from the lowly goblin to the mighty General Graardor. But yet many players have different ways of treating them: some ignore every coin drop that's not worth a lot, and some pick drops worth anything more than a few hundred gp, and still some players pick up every coin drop they get if they can spare the inventory space. As a slayer of combat level 114 and 30m cash in my bank (not including items), I pick up 90% of the coin drops I get. With the exception of the 2-3gp drops from very weak monsters, I usually grab every coin drop I get. From dagannoths to gargoyles to metal dragons, I'm one of the few lv 100+ players who still picks up those little gold pieces lying on the ground. I don't see why I shouldn't, it's free money! Those coins add up. I usually get anywhere from 5-25k worth of coins alone from slayer tasks, and that can really total to something in the long run. So what do you do with your coins? Do you pick them up, or get choosy picking them up depending on the amount lying on the ground, or ignore them entirely? [hide=]tip it would pay me $500.00 to keep my clothes ON :( :lol:But then again, you fail to realize that 101% of the people in this universe hate you. Yes, humankind's hatred against you goes beyond mathematical possibilities.That tears it. I'm starting an animal rebellion using my mind powers. Those PETA bastards will never see it coming until the porcupines are half way up their asses.[/hide]Apparently a lot of people say it.

Draconic Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't. I'll usually pick it up if a charm is on the same square, or if it's worth a few hundred. I won't go out of my way just to pick up 2gp or anything like that. When you go feather dragon god, you never go back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alg Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 I do, but usually they're the first to go if something better comes up. So far that's only happened with Rune Arrows and runes at dust devils... I painted some stuff and put it on tumblr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warrior_B666 Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 If it's like 5 coins then no. If it's like 100 coins then yes. [hide=Funny Quote]Cbow! Cbow!!!!! +120 range is orgasmic. Or maul, thats what I'd get out of those two options.I agree with baconisbacon, Cbow looks freaking sensualRunescape: Where strong weapons bring sexual pleasure.The size of the e-peen0r is directly proportional to the rarity/power of one's equipment.[/hide] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spooferfish Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 I pick up coins on most tasks, unless I'm just trying to get through it fast. I like leaving someplace with a nice 10k or more stack of coins. (that usually includes alchs too) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lets_3ekout Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 Only from abby demons. Abby demons frequently drop exactly 3k coins, ALOT more than other monsters. Anything less than 3k I leave. If I don't already have a cash pile and don't intend on making one (no alchs) then I'll leave even 3k drops. I rather keep the time saved over a couple gp. Time is money.

Loffelicious Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 I almost always pick up coins when I monster hunt/slay/what ever I do. Cause I usually bring alching runes when I go hunting/slaying, and the coin drops+alchs really add up in the long run.

Zierro Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 When I played, I picked anything worth about 50 gp or higher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D Jay99 Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 If I can be bothered. I wont go out of the way to pick up low coin drops but if it looks like it's a lot of coins or it's very close to me I will pick it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Georgelemmons Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 I do, but drop them when I don't have room. Thanks to Uno for the awsome sig <3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookie1762 Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 I defenietly pick them up. The only time I really don't pick them up is when I am trying to get through a kalphite task really fast (the low level ones) cause they only drop like 1-3 coins at a time. When slaying, I am one of those that pick up other peoples coins. It REALLY adds up! http://sign.tip.it/1/6/24/304/lady_scm.png Drops/Clue Finds:Shield left half: 1,Dragon plateskirt: 1, Warrior's Helm: 1, Obsidian Cape: 1, Robin Hood Hat: 1, Dragon Platelegs: 1, Dragon Boots: 4, Amulet of Ranging: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zwyrm Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 I only keep even numbers of money in bank, so the rest of the coins that would make the even numbers in bank uneven...Those coins are always in my inventory :D So i always have room for coins and i always pick up coins...Even if i know it's only 2 or 3 :oops: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benisfab Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 I never pick up coins, occasionally the 3k coin drops if I have room, but otherwise nope. This made me wonder how much money I actually lose because of this, so I decided to pick up the current 6 'small coin piles' on the floor around me (I'm killing nechryael's) it added up to 704gp. This is just 6 kills from a 140(?) something task, meaning I could potentially be losing about 16,000gp a task. Now, I'm currently on my 113th task since they updated the slayer system so say if I 'lost' this much from every task (unlikely, I know) then I would have lost about 1,808,000gp (1.8M) :D Still, it doesn't make me want to change the habit :P My Blog2 Visage Drops.Over 1800 Castle Wars Tickets..

Forerunner Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 Most of the time, definitely if it's 100gp or more. As long as looks like a moderate amount of gold on the floor, I'll click on it.

Zierro Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 Most of the time, unless I need the extra inventory space or if they are dropping under 50 gp. It all adds up and usually after a Slayer task I have a few thousand gp in coins. Not bad for a little extra clicking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quelmotz Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 I pick up every single coin drop except 5gp and below. I'm f2p, so monsters don't even drop a large variety of drops, so anybody with common sense will pick up coins in f2p. Click here for an awesome suggestion to revive smithing!

Roseiah Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 I always pick up every single bone that any monster drops so I usually pick the coins up alongside them. They usually add up to quite a large amount over a long period of time and since I am going to the spot anyway to pick the bones up I don't see the point in not picking the coins up with them.

UserOnRS Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 Yes - I sometimes bring alchs so I have coins naturally, and I can get 10k+/task so I see it being worth it. Except monsters which drop coins in pathetically low amounts. :P Mutated Bloodvelds, Black Demons and Abyssal Demons (last few tasks I've had) I've picked up the coin drops.

Skeptical Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 If it's like more than 100gp or so, or I'm killing monsters with bad drops (for slayer, usually). Otherwise, bye bye gp.
