Well, I finally got around to finishing the Death to the Dorgeshunn quest, and being a bit curious, I decided to thieve the keys from the guards. First, the disclaimer is that I'm relatively high thieving, and these tactics might not work for you.

 

 

 

That said, I was amazed at the speed I got keys. About one in every two picks was a key. I noticed that almost every single item gotten from the chests alched for more than 300 gp, and in a lot of cases, for well more than that.

 

 

 

So I bought 100 nature runes for 30k, and decided to go to the chests. In about 3 minutes, I thieved a full load of keys. Opening the chests, I alched all the gemmed items I got, and just dropped the gold (amulets, rings, necklaces), and about 15 minutes, I had over 30k in alched money, as well as 50 natures left.

 

 

 

So in 15 minutes, I got 50 alchs worth of experience for free, and if I stayed for the entire 100 natures, I'm sure I would have gotten at least double gold.

 

 

 

So while it's not the fastest way of making money, nor the fastest way of getting mage xp, if you want a guaranteed way of making money, is this good?

 

 

 

Discuss :P

very nice find, good way to raise your magic if your low on money. I am not therefore I use slayer dart and can also train my slayer along with my magic. Its expensive but not boring like alching :P

I train with slayer dart aswell, so much better (94 mage btw)

where do you find the chests?

+1 for the slayer dart... cept mine isnt 94 :(

Mage can be one of the fastest money to make.... stake.

nice find.

 

isnt it time consuming though?

 

wouldnt mining or something be better?

Is it any good for gaining thieving exp?

Nice find

 

this would not be recomended for the higher lvl people but

 

if your low on cash (meaning below 300k)

 

and needa train mage and wanta get thiving exp this would be a good idea

 

gradz on find m8
