Easy way for New Players to make GP


SHIPPOU

Recommended Posts

Quite by accident I found a way for newer players to make a lot of GP in a short amount of time.

 

All one has to do is hang out around the grand exchange, and collect all the ashes that are left behind from folks burning logs. Currently they sell for over 50 gp each, and there are tons of them.

Maybe send this tip to an editorial staff member as a "Did you know..." and it could appear at the end of a week's articles with your name attached to it :wink: .Otherwise, this doesn't really belong here.

OP, you forgot to write "discuss." at the end of your post :rolleyes:

DK drops (solo/LS): 66 hatchets, 14 archer rings, 13 berserker rings, 17 warrior rings, 12 seerculls, 13 mud staves, 7 seers rings

QBD drops: 1 kite, 2 visages, 4 dragonbone kits, 3 effigies, lots of crossbow parts

CR vs. CLS threads always turn into discussions about penis size.

It's not called a Compensation Longsword for nothing.

I've sent a 12k combat mission to have Aiel assassinated (poor bastard isn't even Pincers-tier difficulty).

Conversely, you could go to lumbridge and ask the Duke for antidragonfire sheilds that sell for 441 gp and bank them, and then sell them on the GE for huge profits.

That would require questing though. With the aversion many players seem to have to quests, and the fact that the quest of this topic requires numerous other quests be completed first to give a sizable amount of quest points (nearly all of them if the newb in question is f2p, which they ought to be if they're poor enough to be satisfied collecting ashes rather than splitting granite or picking flax...) Basically nobody that would consider getting ~12-13k of shields over the span of 5 minutes of dialogue spam-clicking to be worthwhile moneymaking actually meets the qualifications. That being said though, many people prefer getting 15k fishing xp an hour totally afk over paying attention to the game and getting maybe 70-90k xp instead, so I could definitely see where somebody might be just the right level of newb to benefit from your suggestion.

My little sister does this all the time. Me being a die-hard max-cash merchant and all, I usually had to bite my tongue whenever I passed her. Oh well, I guess she was right all along ;)

Now to discuss this.. Is this a new trend? That people tend to waste their money? Is this because of the upcoming free trade? Should we be the saint and pick it up, then passing it on to it's rightful owner? Or should we go opposite and let the human instinct of greed take over? Maybe someone should do some calculations and see whether it is efficient or not - should this test to be really efficient, will the prices of ashes sky rocket? Will this cause rares to drop? There are so many unanswered questions.. We can only guess.

Dragon drops: 82 (2 claws)

Dagannoth kings drops: 73

Barrows item count: 51

GWD drops: 54 (5 hilts: 1x bandos, 3x saradomin, 1x zamorak)

Whips: 4

Sigils: 1x spectral (FFA), 1x arcane (FFA)

You can obtain an anti fire shield without questing, iirc.

When I first started I would steal the Wines of Zamorak found at the temple north-west of the Goblin Village. You can either telegrab it, if you have 33 Magic, or you can just pick them up if you use protect from magic, rapid heal and rapid restore (37 prayer). You're right next to an altar so it's easy to recharge your prayer points.

 

I think the Wines are worth about 1.8k now, also it's best to do this on a busy world so the wines respawn faster.
