ixfd64 Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One_red_paperclip Does anyone think it's possible to do something like this on RS? Has anyone actually done this before? For example, here would be a theoretical path: 1. start with a cooked tuna 2. trade tuna for coal 3. trade coal 20 air runes 4. sell 20 air runes for 300 gp 5. buy 2 uncut gems with 300 gp 6. trade 2 uncut gems for 5 lobsters 7. trade lobsters for herbs 8. sell herbs [if high quality] for 2k ...

BloodAngel Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 In theory, yes it is possible, but it would be quite challenging. -Bloodangel "Unfortunately, the real world isn't the same as a fairy tale." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lets_3ekout Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 It's a fun (challenging too) game that already exists. Called the egg game I think (3 guesses what you start with :P ). ~Philip A Draconic Guide V1.4, Fimer - Multi-Timer Farming Timer V3.Dragon Boots: 39|Abyssal Whips: 16|Dark Bows: 1| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chaos_Reborn Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 yes, mario_sunny has done a post about his challenge like the one you mentioned above, and it went pretty well for him. If I was to choose the starter <5 item, I'd go with pot. 10k right away! Visit my Runescape comedy website, based on in-game screenshots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

n64jive Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 people do this on noob accounts all the time...and in theory...isnt this how everyone became wealthy...we all started with our bronze swords and wooden sheilds(of if your like me, your pot and tinderbox or w/e an adventurer got)... the only diff is we didnt have to scavage items, but could build skills. but i know a friend who when he first started, collect feathers, traded them for cash, used the cash to buy like 2 runes...traded them at street price, bought more runes, sold at street price, bought more...ect..until he had roughly 20m...he moved from runes to colored gloves for a lil while i beleive, and when he had enough moved to rune items eventually onto rares. I think he made a post on this forum, if you can find it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheZephyrus Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 Don't think it'd be worth your time, though. Picking flax would almost certainly be faster considering the general greed of the rs population. Click (above) for my blog!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
