guide to the economy of runescape and how to get started

Featured Replies

Tyluke's guide to the economy in runescape

 

first of this is a length and apologize for any spelling errors

 

 

 

I would like to say that anyone here can make 1 mil or beyond if they are commited; nothing comes free in runescape.

 

to start off you should find out what kind of product workers do you wish to be:

 

 

 

-primary

 

-seconday

 

-final

 

 

 

here i will go over the different types of workers stations

 

 

 

primary worker

 

provide the raw materials that people use or further develop

 

these are items such as

 

copper,tin,iron,coal,mithirl,coal,clay,silver,addemtine,rune,feathers,raw meat(cow,chicken wool,cowhides,flax,fish,logs,essence,bones,fruit/veggies,seeds

 

 

 

these products are basic raw materials used to create finer goods

 

 

 

secondary workers

 

takes primary goods and creates them into other products like

 

bars,food,headless arrows,shafts,bow strings, runes,molten glass,unfished potions,leather etc

 

these products are reuseable and sell sometimes for more than basic product.

 

 

 

final workers

 

these people take secondary products and turn them into their final forms

 

such as: armor,weapons,arrows,cooked fish,lanterns, fused runes(steam,mud,lava) and all other products that cannot be made from scratch.

 

 

 

 

 

after you figure out which type of worker(s) you are you search for what type of product you wish to work in.

 

to determine what kind of market you wish to be in you have to think about several things.

 

-is there a market for it?

 

-are the prices in the range that i want?

 

-what am i good at or how long till i reach that point?

 

-is it reasonable?

 

-is there business' that i can join (e.g. magna mining) that could help me?

 

-what do i want for myself(armor weapons) and how much will it cost to get those?

 

 

 

after you consider these questions you can get started in your market of choice whether it be armour,range equipment,mage tools, ores, herbs, food, crafting materials you name it.

 

 

 

all that you have to think about is what are you capable of doing.

 

and thats it you'll be on your way towards making money

 

 

 

here is an example of my character

 

 

 

i provide for my self entirely i make my own runes arrows everything i only need to buy armor so i work in all three stations

 

please feel free to comment,correct,query,question and quote anything listed above

 

 

 

i personally wrote this because i was feeling bad and a little anoyed at all the people asking

how do i make money

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

thank you for reading if you got all the way to the bottom heres a smiley for you

 

:D :D :D

Interesting guide. Like the Workers Classes.

"The cry of the poor is not always just, but if you never hear it you'll never know what justice is."

Heres a chain of materials.

 

 

 

 

 

Primary Worker - Picks Flax and sells for market value.

 

 

 

MiddleMan - Buys flax for market value and sells for above market value.

 

 

 

Secondary Worker - Buys Flax for market or above market value. Turns into Bowstrings and sells for Bowstring market value.

 

 

 

MiddleMan - Buys Bowstrings for market value and sells for above market value.

 

 

 

Final Worker 1 - Buys Bowstrings for market or above market value and turns into final product.

 

 

 

Of course anyone can start anywhere before Final worker. Profit is made then. Best profits are in middlemen. EX: Merchanting.

Good day sir, how may I help you?

Id like to access my bank account please.

Certainly sir.

So lets all cut out the middle men and make them work for their money! :lol:

tyluke I liked your worker class idea *thumbs up*

Well, middle men take the products of several people and sell them in one large group. Thus, instead of having to but 100 times 100 bstrings at 140 each, you'd rather buy 10k bstrings at 150 each.

OMG, I HAVE ESP!!! :wink:

 

 

 

amazing, i came up with some of the same ideas as you already, including primary, and secondary skills. i also wanted to add tertiary skills, AKA combat skills. But they dont really fit into this economy/moneymaking guide post. Lastly, the quaternary skill is prayer, which comes from combat. This is important b/c bones are another moneymaker.

 

 

 

i was actually thinking of incorporating these ideas into an article and submitting it as a possible tip.it times article. Right on man.
