SHIPPOU Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 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. ********** One of the old guard of RS.

Master_Smither Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 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.

Kilo Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 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. Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.Oscar Wilde Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Obtaurian Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 You could make more money killing level 2 men. Sorry, I couldn't resist. NICE TIP. To put it bluntly, [bleep] off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingJD Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 They should just do all of the lumbridge tasks they can. You get way too much coin for that. Nice easy way for a new player to have a few hundred K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gremmy Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 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.

DiscoShazam Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 Anyone can use a bronze hatchet and can cut normal logs. You can make more money selling those, honestly. But it's a- er, decent alternative, I guess? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excels Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 You can just stand around edgeville and pick up trout and salmon. They're good for general purpose food in f2p, and training. Plus, all the food is in a pile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azo Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 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.
