Stupidmarioidoit Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 Hiya everybody, I have been playing runescape for a good time now and every now and then I see the people with the good stuff, ya know, the dragon scimitar, the Abysall Whip, the stuff that makes you feel poor. Ofcourse when I asked these apperently rich and happy players how they made all their money they say generaly 1 of 4 things 1) Get the (swear word or multiple swear words) outta here freeloader! 2) Raising skills 3) Merchanting 4) Smell my underwear noob So, I was wondering, what exactly is "Merchanting" :?: and how much money and a f2p get with it. Cmon everybody, help a guy in the ghetto of runescape... :cry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Runescapefan948374 Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 Merchanting is basically just buying something cheap, looking for the right deal and selling it at a higher price. Example: I buy a Dragon Chain for 16mil. And sell it for 16.3mil Which is 300k profit (Price sold - Price bought) that's all merchanting is really. A free player, if truely lucky enough can make millions. Very hard to do, and can start off with any amount really - just a decent amount helps to speed it along quite faster. And in the long run, easier trades and less time spent on finding the "buyer/seller" for you. Start off with maybe coal as a free player. Depending on the amount, buy enough coal 100+ will do, for lets say 150 each or so? then sell for 160-170 each. Until you can work your way up to the big boy stuff. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chenw Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 alternatively you could mix a bit of merchanting and raising skills, such as buying coal 200ea and iron 100ea, smelt them to bars and sell them 600ea, 100 profit per bar and free smithing xp. Needs decent amount of money to start with, but If you know your sources, it can be a really nice profit. 6,924th to 30 hunting, 13,394th to 30 summoning, 52,993rd to 30 DivinationKiln Record (Post-EoC): W 25 - L 0, 14 Uncut Onyx, 8 Jad hits received (Best record: Two in the same kiln)Obby set renewed post update #2: 0QBD drops: 21 crossbow parts, 3 Visages, 1 Kites, 2 KitsMax Port Score [2205] Achieved: 27th April 2013 (World 2nd) Farmyard Rampage ranking: 12th, 50,000 Kills.

devast8u Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 You can fletch and merchant at the same time, which will generate a substantial amount of money. There are 10 kinds of people: Those who can read Binary code and those who can't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
