Ways to Make Runescape Money: Merchantism

* Merchantism:

This is how a lot of players in runescape make their quick millions.

Question: What is Merchantism?

Answer: Merchantism is the act of making profits, by simply buying items realcheap and selling for higher prices.

* Merchantism tips and tricks:

* Always keep a good amount of cash on hand, Only spend about 1/3rd to1/2 of your current money for the merchandise you're going to sell. You just might see a good deal while you are selling.

* Start out by only merchanting 5 to 6 items at a time.

* Buy in Bulk and sell in bulk. Be sure to buy stuff low and sell high.

* Selling in the game can take a while. For bulk items use the forums for buyers. If you are a member then make a post on the bulk items you are wanting to sell. You usually always get a buyer for ores and bars within 5-10 minutes from a forum posting.

* Avoid scams at all costs. Many merchants get scammed easily. I evengot scammed myself. Be sure to always double check the last trade window before making a trade. If the deal sounds to good to be true thenstay away or approach with caution.

* Be firm on your prices, many players try to talk you into lowering prices. Be firm and walk away a couple steps, there is a 75 percent chance thathe'll give in and buy your items.

* To make quicker cash by merchantism do bulk trades or high priced items over 100k

* Always keep a calculator at hand!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

* Hot items and biggest profit items for merchantism:

* One of the biggest profit items is Iron ore. Buy iron ore for around 25 to 50 gold coins each. This is very easy to buy and is very plentiful. ( My dirty little secret: I hire iron miners and pay them 35 each. I currently have 15 iron miners that bring around 25,000-50,000 iron ore per week. I pay them their paychecks each Friday. So If I get 40,000 iron ores that week I end up paying my miners 1.4 million gold coins for 40,000 iron ore at 35 gold coins a piece. I then take all the iron ore and sell it for 100 each to other players. So 40,000 times 100 each equals 4 million gold coins. So I just Profited 2.6 million gold coins from my 15 miners.) Once you get heaps of iron ores, then sell them for 100 gold coins each.

* Steel bars is still hot now. Try to buy these for around 250-350 each and resell these for 500 to 600 gold coins each.

* Coal is also a hot item, and the fallowing ores, iron ore, coal, silver, gold, mith, addy and rune. All these bars are also hot.

* You can also get huge profits from rare holiday drops if you can find good deals.

To get started in merchantism find about 5-6 hot items you would like to buy cheap and resell for higher profits. World 1 market is a good place to sell your items. This place is also full of scammers so be careful. Buy all your items in other worlds, try not to buy items in world 1 due to the heavy amount of scammers. This guide also contains a street price guide on most runescape items.

When I was a low level player about a year ago, I started merchantism once I was able to go to the champions guild. I had purchased rune maces for 14.5 k each and resold them to lvl 30-40 players for 18-25k each. After this I got hooked and started on other items. Use items that you are very familiar with and stay away from items you don't have much knowledge of. Once you get to know the low and high prices of items, then you will start making more and more money and you can add in more items to merchantism. Always sell your items in notes. Weapons and armor will be ok not to sell in notes.

Congratulations!!!! You now know the basics of Merchantism and can now

make your millions in no time.

Fast Experience for Beginning Agility

Agility is a skill that when leveled up allows you to access new areas, use shortcuts throughout the world of Runescape, and be able to run longer without running out of energy. This is the method I found to be most effective.

Level 1-25
This part is sorta boring because you have to do a lot of training before you can access new areas. This part of the training doesn't have a lot of options for training methods either. I went to the Tree Gnome Stronghold and used the agility course there until I hit level 25. This part is kinda boring so listen to some music or keep yourself entertained somehow.

Level 25-35
For this part you will now have access to a few shortcuts and so on. Training by using shortcuts is rather slow at this level and so I would use this way I am about to show you. The Werewolf Agility Course is located in a small shack with a werewolf in it. It is in the Haunted Forest just southeast of Canifis. To enter you need a Ring of Charos(otherwise the werewolves don't like you) which is obtained by doing Creature of Frekenstrain quest) and at least level 25 agility. There is a course for level 60 but we're not there yet. Talk to the Skullball Boss to begin a round of Skullball.

SkullballSkullball is done by kicking a skull through goals (skeleton legs) and completing a whole lap around scoring on each goal (the track is shaped like a big circle). You have the option on "tap", "kick", "shoot", or "show-goal". Tap moves the ball 1 space, kick moves it 5, shoot moves it 10, and show-goal points out the goal to be scored upon on your mini-map. If I have observed correctly, I believe that passing through a goal or hitting a wall reduces the amount of spaces the ball will move by 1 space. If you get stuck in a corner, try rebounding the ball off the wall into open space. Finish the course by kicking the ball into a small hole in the wall at the end of the track. You will be given experience depending on your time. The most possible experience is 750 and the average time for people is generally 3-4 minutes. The longer you take after a certain time (I think 4 minutes) the more your experience reward is reduced.

Level 35
Congratulations you've made it here. You can now try out places like the Barbarian Course and as you probably realized at level 30, you can go to places like the Penguin Course and Agility Pyramid (some of these have requirements to participate). Have a good time running around for a lot longer than everybody else!

Dragon Plate Body on Runescape

Will there ever be dragon plate body on runescape? I would really like to know what it would take to get Jagex to offer a new dragon plate body for members to buy. They did come out for the new dragon full helm, but they haven't said a peep about dragon plate body as I know of. Other things beside dragon pla.

I think they should also have a dragon pickaxe, too. It also would make a lot of sense to put dragon kite shield, dragon boots, dragon crossbow, and dragon claws on the list for weapons and/or armor to were when you are level 60 attack or strength (or level 60 range, for the crossbow, and level 80 mining, for the pickaxe).

Runescape is a lot of fun, and is a really interesting game, but other online gaming companies are catching up with Jagex, like Silkroad Online (I play that game too, but Runescape has better quests). I believe that if Jagex doesn't do anything soon, that Jagex will get in trouble with popularity by players.

A Guide to Runescape Moderators

With a game as large as Runescape, you need many dedicated people to police and protect the game from scammers and other bad people. This is where moderators come in. This guide will explain all about them.

With a game as large as Runescape, you need many dedicated people to police and protect the game from scammers and other bad people. This is where moderators come in. This guide will explain all about them.

Forum ModeratorsForum moderators, obviously are the people who police the forums. This is a voluntary job and these people do not get any incentives for what they do other than the warm, fuzzy feeling of knowing that they are helping keep Runescape running. They play the game like you do, so please don't beg them for free stuff they deserve to play the game in peace. To become a forum moderator you need to, obviously, be active on the forums. Post proper posts and follow the rules. All forum mods need to be paying members. The forum mods can ban you from using the forum for 24 hours. You will know if someone is a forum mod by checking to see if they have a green crown on their posts. This does not show up in game.

Jagex ModeratorsJagex Moderators are employed by Jagex and get paid for what they do. These people aren't usually seen in the game and if they are seen they are testing a bug. They don't earn their levels like we do, so it is possible to see a level 1 moderator. They can't trade or fight and they can ban people. You will know if someone is a Jagex mod by checking to see if they have a gold crown next to their name when they chat. If they don't have a gold crown they aren't Jagex moderators. To become a Jagex Moderator you need to be employed by Jagex. They will never ask for your details in game and they don't send you emails.

Player ModeratorsPlayer moderators do not get any incentives for what they do. They play the game just like we do, so don't beg them for stuff. They have a silver crown next to their name in chat. THey can issue 48 hour mutes and priority reports. They cannot ban. These people are picked by Jagex. Remember, there is no easy way to be picked as a mod. There are no scams that you can try and the only way to become a mod is to be picked by Jagex.

A Guide to Making a Runescape Pure

One of the most entertaining activities in Runescape is Pking. Pking stands for Player Killing. This is something a lot of players try to perfect. If a player is successful at pking, their money will come easily and they will become well known to many pkers but also feared in the wilderness.

In order to achieve the skill of becoming a pker, you must first create a pure. A pure usually has level 1 defense and has its combat stat high. There are usually three types of pkers.

A Melee pure you will be best off with level 1 defense, level 40 attack and at least level 40 strength

A range pure will have to have level 40 range or higher so that they can wear green d hide

A mage pure will usually have level 43 magic so that they can use death runes and hit 13

Pures usually have level 1 defense because the more defense levels you get the higher your combat level will be. For example, a level 50 melee player with level 30 defense will only be able to get level 55 strength and level 40 attack. A level 50 with level 1 defense will be able to get level 40 attack and level 69 strength. That means the defense person will hit 14 instead of 17 (these are both with strength potions).

Now that you have created a pure, you will be able to start pking. If you are new at pking you should find a trust worthy friend and fight with them for a while until you get the hang of when to eat and when to switch to your K.O. weapon.

There are many K.O. styles for different pures. For melee pures its best to use a rune two-hander. This weapon will allow you to hit 21 instead of 17 at level 69 strength.

For a ranger they can either level up their magic so that they can use it to K.O. someone, or get their melee up. Unfortunately there is no K.O. for mages unless they use a rune two-hander, but mages usually don't use melee that often seeing how their magic hits 16's at level 59 anyways.

Making Your First 500k GP

Throughout the beginning of the game, Runescape, the hardest task to earn will be earning your first 500k GP without having to cheat the system. If you want to earn this much is focused on getting this much GP or twice this much GP, then this guide will be perfect for you.

There's a little bit of everything from mining, cutting trees and even by making runes. Below, will be listed different types of things that you can do and the amount you need to do in order to get a step closer to the 500k GP goal.

Mining:



(Above is a picture while mining. Simply use the World Map to find all the available places to mine.)

Requirement: You must have completed the Rune Mysteries Quest and have any kind of pickaxe in order to this step. The better the pickaxe is the sooner, you will be complete with this step. Also, you must have a mining level of at least 15.

Mining is many people favorite way of earning gold point's through Runescape. This of course is a great gold points earner so you would be able to benefit off this by taking the initiative to do this step. If you feel that this is not the right type of job for you, then simply skip this one and do the next thing. Please keep in mind that if you do skip this, then you would have to do twice the work on the next step to earn the 500k GP. Mine the following items and the listed amount for each item. Simply try to receive at least 250,000 GP through this to move on to the next step.

Iron Ores - Mine 2,500 Iron Ores..

Sell Each: 50 GP Each - Total: 125,000 GP

Rune Essences - Mine 4,170 Rune Essences.Sell Each: 30 GP Each - Total: 125,100 GP

You can find quick buyers by moving onto World 1-5 and going to a Varrock bank. Simply post that you are selling these and you should receive many people wanting to trade with you. Make sure that you take no less, then the suggested price stated above. You will most likely be tried to get ripped off by users trying to buy it for less but do not sell it if they are not paying the price listed above.

Woodcutting:



(Above is a picture while woodcutting a Yew tree. Simply use the World Map to find all the available places to woodcut trees.)

Requirement: You must have a woodcutting level of 60 in order to do this step.

Woodcutting is another big gold point earner in Runescape. It has been proven that many Runescape players are able to come up 1,000,000+ GP in less than a month so why not try this. The best way to earn gold points the quickest way is to work your way up to being able to cut Yew logs. These can be sold for around 200 GP each!

Yew Logs - Cut 1,250 Yew logs.

Sell Each: 200 GP Each - Total: 250,000 GP

You can find quick buyers by moving onto World 1-5 and going to a Varrock bank. Simply post that you are selling these and you should receive many people wanting to trade with you. Make sure that you take no less, then the suggested price stated above. You will most likely be tried to get ripped off by users trying to buy it for less but do not sell it if they are not paying the price listed above.

And now you're completed! Congratulations. You've earned 500k by working for it and not having to cheat the game out. Simply if you would like to do the woodcutting step or the mining step only, then simply do the step twice and you got 500k!

Making Money With Yew Logs

Throughout Runescape, making money is possible in millions of ways! Another way that you can make some quick money is through high alchemy and I mean you can make a lot of money when doing this. The other option is to get all the items and sell them. It may take some time to do but the amount of coins you get in return will be quite satisfying.

You can either high alchemy or low alchemy your items that you create but I suggest you to high alchemy all of them instead. Doing this will bring in more money and help you save more money at the same time. To start making real money with this, you must achieve the minimum requirements.Woodcutting: 60Fletching: 70Magic: 55Mining: 1Runecrafting: 44Crafting: 10

After achieving all of the requirements, complete the following the steps below to start making millions!

1.) You will start off by cutting 2,000 yews. It will take a while to get all of it but the best way to do it is cut 1,000 and then go to the next step. Once you complete all the steps, you can do it again.

2.) Now with your fletching high enough to cut yew longs, fletch all your logs to yew longs (u).

3.) Head over to Seers Village and pick up 2,000 flax.

4.) Take your 2,000 flax and spin them into bowstrings in the spinning wheel.

5.) Use the bowstrings with the yew longs (u) to make them into yew longs.(Skip this step if you prefer to sell your items instead at the end.)

6.) With your Runecrafting level high enough to make nature runes, you will need to head over to Varrock and mine enough rune essences to make 2,000 nature runes. Without these, you will not able to high alchemy anything.

7.) Have a fire talisman with you and then you are now done with getting all the items needed to high alchemy all your yew longs! You can either high alchemy or sell all the items needed to make them.

8.) High Alchemy 2,000 Yew Longs = 1,360,000

9.) 2,000 Yews = 660,0002,000 Bowstrings = 400,0002,000 Flax = 200,0002,000 Natures = 440,000Total = 1,700,000

10.) Above you can see your return for which you are choosing to do. I would highly suggest you to go with selling all the items since you can make a little more. In other hand, you can avoid having to search for buyers and high alchemy all the yew logs.

Congratulations on making your money the legal way! Repeat these steps again if you would like to be a multi-millionaire on Runescape!
