stormveritas Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 Everyone in the game has to make money some how. Mining, cutting, staking, fishing, whatever... there is always a way for someone in the game to make money. How it is spent is up to the user... generally common goods are grudgingly purchased in the interest of saving time. My question to the masses: What exactly do you now refuse to do? For me, this is a no brainer. I am all set with mining rune essence. Never again will I waste my time hacking at this junk, for it is far too boring and time consuming for my concerns. The experience for it is a waste. Also, except that they are currently obscenely overpriced, I would be all set with bowstrings. Should they decide to come back down to a reasonable price, I will gladly re-retire from picking flax and making strings. How's about you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3P0int0 Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 I am usually willing to spend some money on raw materials like yews, strings, iron, and others. But I dont usually buy the finished product like yew longs of iron knives. I like getting that experience while still saving a pretty penny. Although I do buy prayer pots, deaths, and minds (even though I can make em all...) to do barrows with. I'm thinking of changing that though after I burn through the set of them all I just bought. :? 200 runs or so and I'll be crafting away...

Roglord Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 I buy pretty much everything really. I pretty much only train combat, and it's all about efficiency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lagatag Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 Money is overrated, I train my slayer when I log on, which is very rarely now. When I do make money its mostly from high alching stuff I fletched or from mining rune. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meb Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 I don't: - Buy yews; even freeplay ppl buy those. - Buy laws; world 66 law running=tech. - Buy coal; I mine that myself. - Buy sharks; I'm training fishing to get to 76, and I don't pk or stake. - Buy lobsters; I have no idea why ppl buy those (cooked). - Buy seeds or herbs; lvling those skills aren't really a top-priority to me... And I'm tired of: - Mining: I hate coal - Smithing: I hate the smelting part - Mining essence for money; baaaad way of making money Retired 2146 overall - 136 combat - 6 skillcapes Plus I think the whole teenage girl thing will end soon (hopefully), because my girlfriend is absolutely in love with him(she is 18), and im beginning to feel threatened by his [Justin Bieber] dashing looks.

anauijaram Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 are all of you low lvls or something? you stop getting all the basic stuff at like lvl 90 if not lower, then you make money and afk train to 110, go to kq, and barrows, and dag kings with friends, until you are rich beyond any means to care about gp anymore, 100m makes you set pretty much...

anonymouse_ Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 I mine rune and that's about it...no point getting any other raw materials when you can easily save a lot of time by buying them :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordSoultar Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 I'm lazy, I buy just about everything. But when I use it I always make sure to get a profit from it. 8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kostya Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 I buy most things. If I need money, I try my luck at barrows. But usually, I just randomly make money when skilling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stanford Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 As a rule, I never buy things I can get myself... Same :D Why? Would you spend an hour and get 1mill making nats and then spend an hour making 500k worth of bowstrings? It's WAY more effecient to buy the flax. It's not like picking flax gives exp you know?

goku_nazz Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 I never get my own resources.. with p2p any resource you buy basically turns into profit, so I dont need to waste my time getting them myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evrae Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 I fletch and alch yew longs - the raw materials cost 750, they alch for 768. Profit and magic experience. Unfortunately its rather slow, but i'm not spending money (in the long run), and thats what counts! I have to get practically naked when I'm cooking bacon.I may be immature, but that made me laugh!
