Yew cutting : fastest money maker skill in f2p? I think not.

Featured Replies

Everybody says that cutting yews is the way to big piles of money in f2p.

 

 

 

Of course rune mining is good but in f2p the rocks are in wilderness, too much risk there. So now I have done some research and found out that yew cutting is not the fastest money maker.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

That one skill is Runecrafting. To be more exact : air runecrafting.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My woodcutting level is 77.

 

 

 

My runecrafting level is 56 = x6 air runes.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I calculated that if yew logs sell for 300 each, air runes 20 each and essences 40 each, then with the 6 air runes per essence it would be 3.75 rounds of air runecrafting (28 essences per round) to get the same price as 28 yew logs. 28 * 300 (yew log) = 8400 (28 yew logs), 8400 / (120 - 40 = 80)(profit per essence) = 105 (essences), 105 / 28 (full inventory) = 3.75 rounds.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I started runecrafting from falador east bank with 62% energy left. 4 rounds took me 6 minutes 30 seconds (had a little chat). Then I went to edgeville and started with 62% energy again. In 6 minutes 30 seconds I got 8 yew logs. Did again 2 times just so that I didn't get lucky/unlucky and the results were nearly the same (7 yew logs and 10 yew logs).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Therefore I can say that runecrafting beats woodcutting hard.

 

 

 

And runecrafting will become even more profitable when you get members.

 

 

 

And now I calculated that even if your runecrafting is 22 (x3) then you would still beat woodcutting if you had around my level woodcutting.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I hope that I won't get flamed a lot because of this, and I hope that this was actually some use for someone.

yes, but you'd have to take the trips runecrafting instead of having high detail on with effect sounds, chopping yews, and playing another game :P

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I only have 53 WC, so lol

 

 

 

Well, that is true, but if people want faster money, then runecrafting is there, waiting. And I think runecrafting is fun, so I wouldn't play an other game.

mate, how fun can it be going back and forwards to a mutated stonehenge clicking several times making rocks with stuff painted on them 40 times every hour?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I play CS sometimes in a window format when I fish :D

 

 

 

Very fun, that's how fun it might be. And by the way, your site is nice.

thanks :o

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'm very sorry for my fans out there anyways, with CS, basketball, Runescape boreness and school taking over my life, I don't have much time over to update that site.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Maybe a big update in a week? :P

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Anyways, create a level 3 miner and level mining to 85 and go rune mining, it's fun and very rewarding.

I can make 200 yews in hour thats 55k.

 

 

 

And 5k airs i nhour thast 100k.

F2p forever ...

Yews are overrated; when people at Draynor willows reach 60 woodcutting they think they can finally earn millions effortlessly!

[sig too big, don't do it again]

thats true, they are like: YAY! (other person)Whats up?

 

 

 

I GOT WC 60!! (other person) woow nice, ur rich now! YAY!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

but hey, ontopic again, i dont agree at all.

 

 

 

yews is THE way to make money, its alot less work then mining/buying

Or if you don't want to spend a lot of time training runecrafting before it becomes profitable, you could run airs for Fast Free Airs

[sig too big, don't do it again]

Rune mining blows both of those away. This morning I mined just a tick over 4 hours and got 111 rune ore. 111 x 12k = 1332k. Then divide that by four hours and you get 333k per hour. This was actually my personal record for most efficient rune mining because I was trying a couple new strategies. My previous conservative estimates were still above 250k per hour for rune mining.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Granted I have the advantage of scaring pkers off simply with my combat level, but I only encountered pkers on about 4 occasions.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Also I was using an addy pick, because I'm so cheap :lol:

Do airs sell for 20ea???

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

*looks at his 41 runecrafting*

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

*runs off to buy 10k essence*

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.

And rune mining beats them both :D

I have to agree with this. I kinda switch back and forth between what I do. Normally I mine :P But it defenitly is more efficient if you have the right levels.

That's because God invented Runecrafting.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

=P

Cs 1.6 ?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

yeah, I play with a small window and when I'm too busy with Runescape I camp. Some people are stupid, they don't see me if I camp at good places, they just walk by me without even noticing.

I can make 200 yews in hour thats 55k.

 

 

 

And 5k airs i nhour thast 100k.

5k airs in an hour? wow u must always walk instead of run it took me 30 mins to get 5k air runes

My most profitable noncombat skills are either cutting yews, 65 woodcutting. And soon to be Iron Arrow making. I buy about 15k feathers for 90k, 1k logs fo 15k, and mine 1k iron and smelt with rings of forging.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

15k Iron arrows = 450k

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

450,000

 

 

 

-105,000

 

 

 

____________

 

 

 

345k Profit.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Or.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

15k feathers, 90k

 

 

 

1k logs, 15k

 

 

 

1k Iron bars, 100k

 

 

 

=205k loss

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

450k - 205k= 255k Profit.

dont forget ur buying ess.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

yea airs are pretty fast. especially if u get newbs working for u, and u give them like 30 airs a trip.

listen, cutting yews with a rune axe will make more money than crafting air runes. I got 1m from selling yews in under 27 days.

luckily i crafted/ran 2k airs today. :lol:

I got that much from making steel bars in that amount of time...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Back on topic, they are both are boring, but I prefer yews over runecrafting airs. :?
