Sick of the "i've been hacked" line

Featured Replies

Well I'm so sick of it i'm gonna do it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

no not get hacked, I'm going to put everything in my bank (yes EVERYTHING) and free teleport to lumby.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

lets see how long it takes me to earn say ......

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

50k

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

only rule i have in this is i will take no free handouts. i have to find or earn everything i get. I can only use the bank to note items.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

who thinks i can do it in less than a week?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

ok 50k is ridiculous - Target changed to full rune, rune pick, rune scimmy and 50k

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

so far.....

 

 

 

Started in lumby and walked to stone circle south of falafor.

 

 

 

5 mins in and i have kicked a top and wiz hat out of them, not getting any decent runes here so time to move on.

 

 

 

Walk to falador, quick visit to the guild gets me a bronze pick.

 

 

 

30 mins later i have bought my adamantium pick with 3k left over after selling a load of steel bars.

 

 

 

sell a load more steel bars and now have 18.6k not to shabby but really need a rune pick

 

 

 

notice someone selling rune pick for 25k, damn i'm short

 

 

 

i'll try offering the bars and ores i have with the 18k (no joy)

 

 

 

mine some more ores come back, person is still sellin.

 

 

 

Price is now 22k, after some frantic selling of ores i now have a rune pick (hey and 5K left)

Everyone thinks the "I got hacked" line is fake, but when I used to play I got keylog hacked 4 times. (Stupid defective anti-virus software)

over 18k so far, and i'm not even trying, thanks for the offer but i intend to prove how easy it is to make money providing you dont loose your account when hacked

vimes220.png0fl02.gif 234v5.gif

vimes220.png0fl02.gif 234v5.gif

Lol... i'd probably get bored.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Good luck, anyway.

On December 10, 2007, after a long struggle, I finally gave up membership, as the only thing I did in RS, pking, was gone.

Jages, you just bit the hands that paid you.

damn damn damn, my boss just gave me a [cabbage] load of work to do. time to leave this little experiment (for now)

It's easy enough if you start with decent levels.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It's harder if you start a n00b character, so you have no skilz, no money and only your knowledge of the game to draw on.

sure, it would be easier if i took a load of dwarven stout into the wildy and mined runeite, id be 50k up in no time

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

i restricted myself to useing skills around the 41 level (use rune pick).

 

 

 

and we all start with next to nothing and earn things.

 

 

 

I'm proving that it is easier to get your head down and earn money than it is begging it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

you could argue that if all someone was lower level then it would be easier.

I did it one weekend on my old char (lvl 112) cos I was bored.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Walked from Lumby to the cow field, picking up GP left on the ground as I went along. Killed a load of cows, with my bare hands 8-) took the meat and leather. Cooked the meat. Tanned the leather -- paid for tanning with the GP I'd picked up.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Bought a needle and thread: leather armor.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Walked to the Dwarf mine, killed a few NPCs on the way to get a bit more gold. Bought a steel pick. Mined iron and coal. Smelted steel. Bought a hammer. Made steel armor and sword. Mined, smithed, and sold steel for a while.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I can't remember how much cash I had at the end of the weekend, but it was somewhere between 20 and 50K.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Then I got seriously nutso and started a whole new character from scratch -- that was about 3 months ago.
