Billions in Proboscis!

[westfield]

Has no one discovered theres millions to be made in Proboscis?

 

They aint the slowest item to come across and are definetly worth the time it takes to get them!

 

The current GE price for 1 Proboscis is 7997... x100 and youv got nearly 800,000 right there.

 

its taken me around 3 hours to make a million. give or take.

 

Ive not seen anyone els really trying to get this item. Is everyone els off making more money and faster? and am i slow to click on or is everyone els?

 

Just thought id let everyone in on my Secret or worst kept secret.

So you're saying you make ~333k/hr? I'm sure there are multiple other methods even among lower leveled players to make that much or more. And higher level players make much more than that.

[Vezon Dash]

As levells said, 333k p/h is actually pretty slow cash.

[Kaida23]

That does seem to be pretty low gp/hr for members.

[westfield]

I knew it was too true to be a genius idea.

 

I aint the highest level on here but making cash seems to be pretty slow right now.

This is honestly the fastest way i have found to make cash.

I was hunting for red Chinchompa but the hunting grounds are way over crouded on every world i seem to visit so i been trying new ways. Tryed to get to the isfadar hunting ground by doing the Underground pass quest then after completing it realised it still aint gonna get me there and that i need higher agility if i do wanna get ther.

 

Got my WC up to level 50 to cut mahogany to make some money but thats pretty slow too ..

 

Thats also when i discovered the proboscis when cutting down the bushes for the trading sticks needed to get to the mahogany trees in south karamja.

[westfield]

Im gonna post my stats this time and you can tell me if there is something i should be doing to make money that im missing?

 

Proboscis is honestly the best thing i have come across for a long time :/ i am missing out on something but what is it?

 

Derr... forgot to put the stats in.

a really easy way to make money are herb runs (low level: toadflax, mid level: avantoe, high level: torstol (i think are the best)), with avantoe i make about 150k/trip with one trip taking 5-10min (including banking). and it also is some nice farming and herblore xp

[The Runar]

Your stats are quite low, you should train them.

 

You can make a nice sum of money every day by doing daily tasks. Buy battlestaves from Naff, buy seaweed from Catherby general store owner, play MTK (if you've done Throne of Miscellania) and so on. Farming is also good money for very little work, especially at higher levels.

Just gonna move this to Help and Advice seen as though the conversation has taken that kind of turn.

So how do i go about doing these "Herb runs"?

Thanks :)

Ill make the obligatory slayer suggestion. This will train your combat stats. You will make a little cash during the tasks, but if you do herb runs between tasks, you should make decent money. The best money making methods in the game are monster hunting, and training slayer will put you that much closer to being able to effectively boss. It will take a wile, but be worth it in the long run.

thanks ive got quit a bit of money the now to keep me going for a while so i think i will start training my slayer. Gets my range up aswell so thats also a bonus.

 

 

thanks :)

Well you know, if you enjoy gathering your money that way, you should keep at it. Seems like you don't lose anything or profit, from doing so, otherwise you would have stopped that. So if you enjoy it, don't listen to the ones above me. Do you.

yeah thanks good comment :)

 

i think i may go back to it when im short on cash but until then im sorted.

I agree, in that if you enjoy it keep going. I do what I enjoy more rather than doing what is more efficient. Given that, saying he isnt losing anything by doing this is false. Opportunity costs say that if he can earn more than 333k/hr, even if he doesnt enjoy it, he is technically losing out. Again though, I would say go with what you enjoy, as that will make the game that much better. Just pointing out the truth.

What they mean by herb runs is farming herbs. You get a bunch of seeds, of the most profitable herb you can farm, and go to all 4 patches. Use super compost all the time, and magic secateurs when you can start fairy tale pt 2.

 

Use 5 patches when you complete my arms big adventure.

 

Farm marigold/limpwurt for extra money.

 

Later on, you'll want to use juju potions and the greenfingers aura.

[Travis D]

It's going to be much less than 333k an hour anyways, it probably rose to 8k each because people were buying them for summoning training for bxp.

[Thus]

This thread is hilarious.

 

It would take roughly 3000 hours to get 1b from proboscis drops. That's 125 days of playing runescape straight, no rests.

[Kaida23]

There's really no wrong way to make money in RS. Yes, some are better than others but profit is profit and as long as the bank balance keeps climbing it's all good. :)

[Loyal]

I guess this is a good method for lower leveled players, never really thought of it. Good job though. lol

[Donnie]

if your not making 5m+ an hour your wasting your time

[DarknessRises]

As previously stated, farming herbs (and other things) is excellent bang for your buck. I would suggest levelling up further and perhaps working on killing green or blue dragons. If that doesn't seem appealing to you, continue as you are and enjoy it.

 

EDIT: If you were to take the advice of levelling your combat for better methods, I would suggest giving slayer a shot. It provides much variety and can be superb for charms at higher levels, while levelling most if not all of your combat skills. Don't forget to buy and wear a black mask.

if your playing this game your waisting your time, its all in how you look at it. :P

 

although I enjoy waisting my time :P
