1. Merchanting

 

 

 

Merchanting is one of the best ways to make money in Runescape. However, it's also the easiest way to lose money in runescape. This means that you need to know what you're doing.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You shouldn't start merchanting until you have at least 400k-1M. That way, you can buy most of the things in RS2. If you dont have that kind of money, follow step "2" for other ways to get money, until you have a good 400k-1M.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I myself merchant Rune trimmed items the most. Buy rune (t) legs for 170k-200k...Sell for 200k-230k. Buy Rune (t) helmet for 100-110k...Sell for 120k-160k. Buy Rune (t) platebody for 260-275k... Sell for 280k-300k. Buy rune (t) kite for 220-235k...Sell for 240k-255k.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

NOTE:Rune (G) items are about 50k-100k more a piece than rune (t) items. For example, instead of buying rune (G) helm for 100k-115k and selling for 120k-160k, buy for 175k-190k and sell for 205k-235k.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

God Armour Merchanting (Only Zammorack and Saradomin):

 

 

 

God armor is a good-possibly the best-(besides rares) F2P merchanting item there is. Try to buy Full zammorack for 2.00-2.05M... Sell for 2.10M-2.15M. Buy full saradomin for 2.2-2.25M... Sell for 2.3M-2.35M. However these god armors have rapidly changing prices so this isn't completelly accurate... They can increase or decrease buy 50K in one day!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

RARES:

 

 

 

If you have or are ready to buy a rare... You're ahead of the game! I my self dont even have a rare yet... However I have a suggestion if you do. Since rares have rapidly changing prices (can raise or drop 1.5M in one day!) I suggest once you know the real current price of a rare, buy it for 50K-500k cheaper than the current real price. Then, wait until you see someone buying it for more. This is likelly to not happen in short periods of time, in which case you should wait several days. If you see it drop slightly in price, I reccomend selling it for as much as you can. If it is increasing, wait until it stops increasing, then sell it, before the price goes back down.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2.Other Good Ways To Make Money

 

 

 

In addition to merchanting, there are many other good ways to make money. Some skills that I reccomend are fishing, magic (high alching), and woodcutting. Smithinging is good for making steel bars and gold bars. Other than that, it's not that good until lvl 88 (For making full addy)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Non-skill related ways of making money:

 

 

 

Cowhides-most people know this way. There are many cows in the cow-pen near lumby. Kill cows until your inventory has full cowhides. store in Al-Kharid or Lumby bank until you have at least 100-200. Then sell in Al-Kharid bank for 100 gp each.

 

 

 

Cheap Fast Swordies-On karajama there are lots of people fishing just for their fishing lvl. You can buy swordies or lobs for 50-100 gp each! Then sell swordies for 300-325 each and lobbies for 250-300 each.

 

 

 

big bones-Big bones is another great way to make money. Kill moss giants, hill giants or ice giants for their big bones. When your inventory is full, store them in your bank, and go back to killing-repeat this process until you have from 100-1000 big bones in your bank. Then sell for 350-400 each on world 1!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

3.Other Hints

 

 

 

~when selling items in crowded areas, you should include your name when you say something.

 

 

 

~worlds 1,3, and 5 are best for merchanting in F2P.

 

 

 

~when selling something, start out selling it for 10k-20k more than you want. Then say "fine, fine"-and lower it to the price you were planning the whole time. That way it seems like a great deal.

 

 

 

~DON'T SCAM! THERE ARE OFTEN MODS IN MERCHANTING WORLDS, NOT THAT YOU SHOULD SCAM ANYWAY!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Lastly, so common questions and anwsers.

 

 

 

Q: How come rares are so expensive, even though they give no stat bonuses?

 

 

 

A: Because there are very few in the game, and people want them to feel "special" or just to merchant off of.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Q:I'm trying to do what you said, but everybody is calling me a noob for giving such low offers! I thought you said your guide was accurate!

 

 

 

A: For most items, it is impossible to tell the exact price, and even if you do know, it keeps on changing.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Q: Your guide stinks! I can make a better guide myself than this piece of junk!

 

 

 

A: You don't have to use my guide, and if you wish please feel free to make a suggestion. However, please dont flam this guide.

Wrong section dude, ask a mod to shift it...

[Dragon_lord]

Yeah, this isn't a bad guide but it needs to be moved to the "Player Made Guides" forum.

 

 

 

You might even get transfered into the Archive Of Wisdom!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

P.S:

 

 

 

~when selling something, start out selling it for 10k-20k more than you want. Then say "fine, fine"-and lower it to the price you were planning the whole time. That way it seems like a great deal.

 

 

 

If anything, you should be very firm with your price.
