Returning after a LONG hiatus

[FuryoftheGods]

Hello tip.it! I just returned from a long break from RS(since right after summoning came out) and made an account, since you all seem to know what you're talking about. My stats are in my sig, and I have several questions for you:

 

What are currently some good ways to make cash other than soloing GWD/Tormented Demons/etc.? I've read about green dragons making 1m/hr; where and how?

I also don't have much cash to invest upfront, but I DO have most of the basic equipment, so keep that in mind.

 

What is "tricking" and "76k" and "26k"?

 

Don't remember if this one came out before I left or not, but I've heard of people using penguins for slayer/hunter? What is this?

 

What else is new and worth mentioning?

Killing green dragons in either the wilderness or in the Chaos Tunnels and then banking and repeating is the best way. Don't need much skill here. You can also plant herbs and sell those to make more money along as doing Manage Thy Kingdom.

 

Tricking is where people would sit/skill/actually pk in the PvP and Bounty Hunter worlds and get high Earning Potential (EP). Once they get the desired amount they would then go and kill/get killed by a friend to get high amounts of GP. Lots of people look down on this, some feel differently.

 

Every week, starting on Wednesday, 10 penguins are roaming the world of Runescape. You can go catch these and get any where from 10-16 points, depending on how many quests you have completed, to then spend on skills to get some exp. It is one of the easier way to level skills you don't normally like to train.

 

If you need any more help feel free to PM me here or just ask.

Another question:

 

How should I go about leveling hunter and summoning?

[Cptbaker08]

For hunter do the best Salamander you can. Just release after you catch. IF you hunt Swamp Lizards keep those to sell.

 

For summoning you can collect charms a number of ways. I collected mine through slayer. At your levels you can kill waterfiends for some great crimsons but it might be somewhat hard to do. Around the levels you're at you will mainly use golds and greens anyway.

76K-ing and 26K-ing: when you risk over 75K (25K in F2P) worth of items while in PvP.

 

Many people use this method to earn their EP, and end up getting good drops. It's a nice way to make money, and you have the chance of getting the Ancient Statuette (worth 5M).

 

Unfortunately, because of this, prices on most items rose massively. This is called inflation.

 

As for the other questions... idk, I'm F2P so no member stuff.

Green Dragons in CT gets me 1m an hour on empty worlds. Look at my guide to get the general idea of what to do.

Ranging Aviansies gets me about 800k - 900k an hour, once again look at my guide for some help.

Other good ways will include Runecrafting Cosmic Runes x2, doing regular Herb Runs aswell as MTK. Barrows is failry decent money if you get lucky with the drops. Spiritual Mages and Abyssal Demons are both great money due to the inflation (83 and 85 Slayer is required respectivly). For Summoning the best way of collecting charms would be through Slayer, this however is not the fastest. The fastest would be Bursting Rock Lobsters or killing Waterfiends.

And another:

 

Pest control: is it the most efficient xp/hr? If not, what is and what would be the cost difference per hour I save?

 

Why would Jagex institute a system that can be exploited and cause the economy to inflate as much as it has? (This is more of a rhetorical rant than anything, but WTF?)

Armoured Zombies are the best melee exp you can get. Along with being one of the better ways you actually make money and charms for summoning.

 

PC is more for those that want to level fast, and in doing so they will waste exp. What i mean by waste is that if you spend points to get exp, you'll waste time later on having to train another skill. Those that used it end up having either high melee stats and lower HP or higher HP and lower melee stats. Good for pures maybe, but all around training its a waste.

 

I myself like to train combat for slayer. It may not be the best, fastest, or most profitable (it is real profitable though once you get higher levels, but that's if u actually are in it for the long run and not just camping.) but its the only way i can get 99 slayer.
