Mint cake

[Loffelicious]

I obtained a mint cake without any work or anything... Now, what should I do with it? And how much is it worth?

 

I'm not really into all this junk stuff, but any good tips on how to get most possible from it?

I too, just received a mint cake for virtually nothing (giving the gnome guy from Glouphrie quest a tangled toads legs). I'm starting to save up my junk now. I already have about 800k in addy poisoned arrows from zammy boss hunting, I'm gettng a little more junk (~100k) from fletching too. I have no idea where i'm going to get more junk, but it will come in time.

 

My suggestion is use the mint cake as incentive to train stats you never got around to training (like i'm doing now with fletching), and also use it as inspiration to go pking or boss hunting (both of them can reward you with good money along with some junk).

 

Whatever you do, DON'T go out of your way to get junk. If you're going to train fletching just to get junk (I'm training it for the 70 requirement for a quest), don't bother doing it that way. You're better off just going out to earn pure money than to earn junk to transfer for money. The idea of junk trading is to sell byproducts of your normal runescape activities. Unstrung bows, hard-to-sell items earned from monsters, pvp drops that no one buys, these are all byproducts of activities. If you do those normally, continue doing that. If you ever wanted to go pking but never had the guts, use the mint cake as your incentive. But don't go out of your way just to get junk for the sake of a better price for your cake.

 

If you're really not into getting junk, try going for getting a little bit of junk leftover in your bank, and look for a good loan. You can EASILY get 24hr loans of any item you wish for just a mint cake if you don't want to get junk. Consider godswords, bandos, etc. Things that are useful to you that you could never afford otherwise. I know someone who got a 24 hour ags loan for his mint cake and went to bandos with it, he earned 15mil in drop shares in the end, way more than what he would have gotten for the mint cake if he sold it with junk.

 

And to answer your other question, most people say the cake is about 5m on the street, but it will probably fluctuate rapidly. Check the runescape forums on mint cake offers for a good idea on pricing or good deals. I really hope this helps. Good luck on getting the best deal, I'm working to do the same with my mint cake.
