So, you play Runescape? You probably would like to make some easy quick money in it right? Well, as a experienced ex-runescape player, I will teach some of my tricks of the trade in this article.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Things You’ll Need:

  • Runescape account
  • Yourself
  • Dedication
  • Patience

Step1
Welcome. In this brief but informative article you will learn simple steps to make you a multi- millionaire in Runescape. Now, the key to doing this is dedication, patience and well, more patience.
Step2
To begin making money in Runescape, you must first have money. Now, there are a couple things that I have seen remain constant in runescape forever. Iron, feathers, coal, lobsters(food in general) and some other ores. These are what you must focus on to start with.
Step3
Now, to begin getting money to make money, you will need to do one of the five things above. If you are a low level character, I would suggest feathers. Though this may sound ridiculous, feathers are in high demand. Members need them for fletching arrows. Non-members and members both need them for fly fishing. Thus they make a very valuable object. The key to making money, and experience is to always sell in bulk. By saying this I mean sell in increments of 1000 or more. This will make it a heck of a lot easier to sell them and you can make more money faster. So, go get your 1k feathers and sell them for about 10gp each. Be very firm with your price. Without it, you will make virtually no money at all. Also, be patient, people don't always buy your stuff right away.
Step4
Now, so you have sold your 1k feathers. This will, if you have sold for 10gp each, get you 10k. Now you can either go and get more feathers, or buy them from other players for, lets say 5gp each. Most people will sell them for that much because they don't know what there worth. Once you have gotten another 1k feathers, either way, you sell them for 10gp each. This will get you a 5k profit and you will now have 15k. Continue doing this until you have about 50k to 100k. Congrats, your on your way to your first million.
Step5
Now that you have 50k to 100k you can begin pulling in the real money. Depending on your money, buy iron ore, lobsters, or other items that you can see are in demand. ALWAYS BUY LOW AND SELL HIGH!!!!!!!! You will never go wrong with that slogan. Now for instance you have 100k. Now you buy 1k iron ore for 100k or 100gp each. Now, right after you bought them, you turn around and sell them for 120gp each. This will give you 120k, or a 20k profit! You can always sell for more but 120 is about the right price to sell it for. Continue doing this with other items until satisfied with money. (Note: To be satisfied this may take awhile)
Step6
Congratulations, you are now more than likely a millionaire in runescape. You can continue spending your money, selling the items and makeing more, or you can settle down into a nice steady experience gain by spending the money. Either way its up to you! (If by chance you are not a millionaire by now, go repeat steps 3-5 and you shall succeed)
Step7
This is an update to a comment listed below. I do know about the grand exchange. It is used very effectively. You can enlist the strategy above in that also. Personally I think the grand exchange ruined RS. Also there is the obvious problem that they have closed down the wilderness, completely destroying the business of Player Killing.
Step8
They have also messed with the game so that now you can't trade more than 3k at a time without proper compensation. What if you want to help a friend hmmm? Well they ruined that. None of this matters as it is my opinion but I am sure that if you had played the game before they made all these changes you would have been happier with it.

Tips & Warnings

  • Always buy low and sell high. Never fails.
  • Use above tip in grand exchange.
  • Beware of scams. If you would like information on runescape scams, I found that: http://www.truthscape.com/html/ts_TheTruthAboutRuneScapeItemScams.htm worked very well for me.

on 3/6/2008 Dude,this is old school. There is something new on RS called the Grand Exchange. I buy steel bars and smelt them into cannonballs for a profit of 5800gp per 100 bars. I buy 2000 bars, smelt them, and make over a million gp profit!
