-=Runescape Currency Guide=-

[trebor4312]

Tip.it doesnt have a currency guide and i thought a few people might find one handy so i thought i might as well write one in order to kill some time:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Coins! (Tradeable)

 

 

 

 

 

 

Coins are the stable of the runescape economy about 98% of shops will only accept them and almost all player transactions are carried out using them. They are reffered to as gp or gc for shorthand. They are dropped by many of runescapes monsters and can be got from selling items to shop keepers or players or casting one of the two alchemy spells on an item.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Trading sticks (Tradeable)

 

 

 

 

 

 

Trading sticks are a currency unique to karajama and are aquired through the jungle clean up minigame or by selling shilo gems and gnome cocktails to co-op, they can also be obtained thrugh killing jorges. They are used mainly for buy better machetes for the jungle clean up mini game and also to buy some of the unique clothes that the locals wear.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Tokkul (Untradeable)

 

 

 

 

 

 

These are the coins upon which the tzhaar city runs they are the only accepted coin they and are used for buying tzhaar weapons and armour and can also be used to purchase some rune ore or gems. they are obtained through selling items to the tzhaar shops, the fight pits, the fight caves, and killing tzhaar citizens

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ecto tokens (untradeable)

 

 

 

 

 

 

These tokens are obtained through ecto worshipping (see the tip.it prayer guide http://www.tip.it/runescape/?page=prayer_guide.htm) and are not used much the only two uses i can find are the ghosts ahoy quest (enter city take boat to dragon tooth) and purchusing yeast.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Pizazz points (Untradeable)

 

 

 

 

 

 

These are aquired through the mage training arena minigame they are used to purchase runes, infinity robes, a wand and upgrades for it and are the only way to get the bones to peaches spell

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Various tokens/tickets (Untradeable Archery tickets: tradeable)

 

 

 

Agility arena and castle wars:

 

 

 

These are gained from castle wars, ranging guild, the brimhaven agility arena and the frog prince/princess random event. Castle wars tokens are the only way to buy castle wars equipment archery tickets are used to buy various archery related items (im not quite sure what i only have 31 range but from what ive heard i think arrows), agility tickets are used to purchase 2 herbs, agility experience or a pirate hook Frog tokens are traded for frog heads and frog prince or princess outfits.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Various miscellaneous items (tradeable)

 

 

 

 

 

 

Before anyone asks no that is not a mistype. THis section originally only covered law runes however i have changed it to include the following: law runes, nature runes, magic logs and sharks all of which are used sometimes during normal trades in substitution for coins. There is no shops that will accept them as currency however there are some that will buy them off of you

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks to pinguin333 for the pictures of tokkul and ecto tokens

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Well thats my guide hope everyone finds it usefull or possibly just intresting if anyone has any suggestions criticisms or just generall apraisal to make me feel good :D how ever if you are going to criticise my guide please tell me what you dont like and how i could fix it dont just say "that was rubbish"

[tefda]

It's not bad, but you might want to include some pictures of the varying currencies. Perhaps go into some research about the uses of each one a bit further or how to obtain them a bit further.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Anyways, for those who aren't in the know, this is a good idea to have.

[kwimbob]

Ectotokens buy yeast...? (I just can't remember how to buy it, I haven't done it in a while)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Also, I do understand where you're coming from with the law runes... but many other things are like that. Nature runes are the same price and also very stable. Magic logs, also, are very stable, and many ppl will actually say "paying 1.6 mil and 400 magic logs" and it will actually be accepted very commonly. Sharks too, along with that.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Oh! Also, a huge point you need to cover is which of these are non-tradeable (which I believe all those currencies except coins and.... laws.... are)

[Y2g2003]

Ectotokens buy yeast...? (I just can't remember how to buy it, I haven't done it in a while)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Down under the pub, if you talk to the guy down there, he will sell you ale yeast for a certain amount of ectotokens.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In the first part (under coins), you said "sable" when I think you ment "stable". I dunno why, but that just stuck out to me. Might wanna copy your post and paste it into a word document to check the spelling and grammar.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Don't think spell check would have picked that up. I just happened to notice it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

EDIT: And not that its a big deal, but you might want to change the Tokens part to either "Tokens/Tickets" or maybe just "Tickets". I think everything you listed there comes in the form of a ticket. Unless you added the Frog Prince/Princess event, that gives a token.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

EDIT2: For the agility area, you can get a Pirate Hook as well with the tickets. That is sometimes overlooked.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

EDIT3: And here is a litte link for reference on what you get at the ranged guild (pic at very bottom):

EDIT4: really hate to sound picky, but there is a whole lot more to obtaining trading sticks as well. I'll just link you:

Its a decent guide, but it could have used a little bit more detail, now that I'm really looking at it. First glance I gave you the benefit of the doubt. It could use some revising. *points up*

[maveritchell]

What would be truly helpful in your guide would be a currency conversion.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And kwim, just FYI Trading Sticks are tradeable as well.

[trebor4312]

Umm ok i think ive done all of those except: the pictures and currency conversion

[Zyx]

frog tokens are TRADED for the outfit, not purchered

[henk333]

Archery tickets ARE tradeble if I'm not mistaking. I know I certainly never went out to get them myself, but had 190 something in my bank at one point. I probably got them from picking up stuff from a pile when someone was cleaning out his bank. After I figured out they are pretty much useless I redropped them, but didn't check if someone picked them back up.

Yea, archery tickets are tradeable. I also picked them up when someone else was cleaning out their bank (only 29 though).

[anonimu]

Tokkul are tradeable from what I know...

[bflat0]

No they are not, I tried to show someone what they look like once.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ectotokens are also untradeable - player to player - makes complete sense that they are too since they are also a quest item. You may buy yeast with them from the guy at the brewery in the port... and someone had told me you can buy bolt-racks with them, but all I know the samuri will take is gp.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

a note on trading sticks... The more tribal you wear the better the local natives pay you when doing jungle clean-up. Full tribal with topaz macheti and brrodoo shield will get you 1000 sticks at 100 favor.

[gonpost]

Spice this thing up with more pictures, and add a little more content, and you could have yourself a thread worthy of living a long time...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

But nice try so far... :)

[Bloodveld]

its an okay guide...but these days it seems as if everyone and their grandmothers is making random, less-than-useful guides...

[Zonhottie]

u can get trading sticks, even if u ddint do jungle potion.. i got some and didnt do the quest

[henk333]

If you want to get pictures, I'm currently working on getting 1k agility arena tickets. I have about 250 now but I'm planning to have 1k by the 1st of March.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I also have about 20k trading sticks and 1600ish ectotokens.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If you want the pictures send me a pm and I'll get them to you asap.

They are tradeable. I bought a couple so i could get buy random things from the store :P They are also sellable to the general store.

[DinoFlame]

dunno if anyone said anything about this but:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Trading sticks are obtainable without completing the quest by killing jorges for example.

[trebor4312]

If you want the pictures send me a pm and I'll get them to you asap.

 

 

 

umm sure that would be good just 1 question which is the main reason my guide has no pictures, how do you actually add pictures???

[x_bow80]

I think its a little too short to b a guide, but its nice :D

These tokens are obtained through ecto worshipping (see the tip.it prayer guide http://www.tip.it/runescape/?page=prayer_guide.htm) and are not used much the only two uses i can find are the ghosts ahoy quest a purchusing yeast. Edit: and buying bolt racks thanks bflat0.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Actually, the bolt racks are bought with regular gold coins, from the Eastern guy not a ghost

[Raven6666]

the 3 uses for ectotokens are

 

 

 

buying yeast

 

 

 

entering the city if not done quest

 

 

 

taking the ship to dragontooth island

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

doesnt work for bolties as said by above person

[henk333]

 

If you want the pictures send me a pm and I'll get them to you asap.

 

 

 

umm sure that would be good just 1 question which is the main reason my guide has no pictures, how do you actually add pictures???

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If you have a picture you need to upload it somewhere (photobucket, imageshack). After uploading you get a link usually ending in ".png", copy this link into your post, put some img tags around it and you're done.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'm still working on the agility tickets, but I'll make the trading sticks and ecto-tokens pictures in a minute.

The link should end with what ever extension the picture was saved in, .jpg, .gif etc...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And nice guide so far, needs a bit more info but nice work :)
