pulli23 Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 Hi there, I've been ranting about this for ages already, levels are really devalued. (When I started I chose for runescape as there you wouldn't need to max first before you could do almost everything). However I also know it is something I have to live with. But now I'm stuck in a pretty awfull position: -I am too low level to get into dungeoneering teams.-> to get levels I would need to earn money.-> I have to low levels to get into a boss hunting team-> to get levels ... This is due to the fact I need to train prayer first.. (Or magic, since I don't want melee to get 10+ levels above magic/ranged - I want to get a balanced char). So what is a good money source? My stats:90 att,str,def83 magic88 (close to 89) ranged72 pray 91 rc. (though I refuse to rc until the money made from skilling is proportional to what it was around 2005)83 slayer There's only 1 thing I really won't train: dailies or things with a timer.. Sorry but I would like to play to have fun, when I want. Dailies are for me really troublesome. Until now I earned all my money through slayer & RC. (And gave all my money to friends to celebrate 91 rc)Thus am stuck to 20M with standard slayer gear. (and decent stock on basic consumables part from brews & super restores) First they came to fishingand I didn't speak out because I wasn't fishing Then they came to the yewsand I didn't speak out because I didn't cut yews Then they came for the oresand I didn't speak out because I didn't collect ores Then they came for meand there was no one left to speak out for me.

Arieondor Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 Seems kind of silly that you refuse to do any of the best moneymaking methods... You can easily still make money through slayer even with "welfare" gear, as well as you can still make exceptional amounts of money runecrafting. Runecrafting will never reach the pinnacle that it did back in it's earlier years, but it's still a very good option for money making. I hope that you are still willing to do MTK, as that brings in that extra mil or two every week. TD's are supposedly the new thing when it comes to monster hunting, you could easily get by with your levels (assuming that you have a decent range level). I would suggest doing a combination of slayer, td's, herb runs, and mtk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(If I feel like going to mtk only 1 times a month I can, if I want to go every day I can too, yet the amount of money doesn't differ so much). It's just things like bork & jade vine I really dislike. But if rcing is best money maker: well that really sucks.. It's only 800K an hour, I can play about 4-5 hours a week effectively -so I can make 4M a week with these method.. Yet the price of high end armour rises faster than that on average the last year!

Dexek Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 What's your Runescape username, or all of your stats? You could simply camp green dragons for 1m+/hr or similar monsters. Sure, it isn't a huge sum of cash all at once, but generally those monsters with large drops average to around 1m/hr or slightly lower/higher dependant on the monster and time spent. At least with green dragons or a similar boring monster the cash is guaranteed and the risk is very low. EDIT: Hell, if you make 800k/hr profit runecrafting go with that. It's guaranteed money with no risk, and you're training a rather sought-after stat. Also, it's worth my mentioning that most high level gear is currently falling in worth, and has been doing so for the past week or two. It would actually be an ideal time to make some cash and get what you need. Although, those high level armours aren't really worth their price tag if your cash is limited.

la la la Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 "Good" slayer gear is overrated. Just get a z spear, a whip, some barrows/rune, a black mask/slayer helm, and you're golden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I wouldn't go for the armour if I could get -like I used too- in monsterhunting clans without them. - Though currently the levels are the biggest obstacle.. The problem is that with all money making methods that once I invest in something and I finally get to the point of raping the benefits: it suddenly isn't the best method anymore. -RC used to be the best money making method in rs. Yet when I turned 91 the ge was implemented and rune prices were in a freefall-Then I trained slayer as that was then the "best profit": yet now that I am achieving the high levels suddenly it isn't a good money method anymore ruud 99 is my RSN (click it for highscores). I could always do the old fashioned things like camping green dragons etc. But I'm more or less wondering: with my stats wouldn't -at least some- bosses make more profit when soloing? I don't mind risks, as long as they are manageable.

Dexek Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 Well, Dk's and Tds are better average cash solo'ing than green dragons if you have them unlocked. They obviously have some risk and require you to pay attention to the screen, but risk vs reward. Haha I also like how you said "rape" the benefits as opposed to "reap" that was worthy of a laugh. :thumbup: PoetryIndexed Picture 1Indexed Picture 2 Killed my maxed Zerker pure April 2010 Rebooting Runescape Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pulli23 Posted July 18, 2010 Author Share Posted July 18, 2010 Hmm so I first tried tormented demons.. However every world I checked had at least 2 others.. :|Then I checked green dragons (both clan wars as CT) and it was even worse! Is DK also so full always? - It's really annoying if people steal your kill, and then start talking trash that I'm too low level..

Bladewing Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 With 83 magic, you should be able to hold a low-mid pop world for soloing rex. Be sure to use Claws of Guthix with a void mace. How to Chin Nechyraels for fast XP and profit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
