There are actually a lot of ways that one can make money in the famous browser-based MMORPG, Runescape. The most obvious one is to use Runecheat, which is of course black-hat and gives you an unfair advantage.
Here are some ways that you could make money legitimately in Runescape.
Law of Supply and Demand
The law of supply and demand exists in Runescape like it exists in the real-world. It is important to understand this law before you start selling something in Runescape. This way, you can avoid gathering up a huge quantity of something only to find out that it will only fetch a low price because there is a huge supply being put up on the Runescape market, or because the demand is low.
Some items are eternally high on demand, like yew logs. You can make money on these things. Knowledge and understanding of the law of supply and demand will aid you greatly in your quest to raise millions in the Runescape world.
Luthas’ Banana Plantation
One of the areas in Runescape where you can make money easily is to engage in the banana picking job in Karjama Island. There, you can pick bananas for a man named Luthas for a fee. All you have to do is fill up a few crates with bananas (something that takes less than 10 minutes to do), and he’ll pay you.
The nice thing about this job is that you can do it all over as long as you like. This is a very easy way to gain up to 1000 gold pieces in just an hour’s work.
Mining
Another quick and easy way to gain not only money, but also experience, is to mine coal. Ores are in demand most of the time – although there may be times that you can fetch a low price for these – so if you mine and smelt your ores, you can make a lot of money.
You gain experience as you mine, and as you get enough experience, your levels go up. With higher levels, you can mine more ores. The best way to do this is to combine it with smelting, so you can produce something from your ores that you can sell at a good price.
Killing Blue Dragons and Cutting Magic Trees
This is a very good way to make money, but it is far from easy. Each dragon can guarantee you up to 5000 gold pieces worth if you can kill one, but you would need to build up your range stats up to 70. An agility stat of 70 is also advisable.
You can make money from cutting trees, especially if your level is high enough because the higher your level is, the better the quality of your logs. High quality logs sell for more money than those of lower quality.
Magic trees are worth at least 1000 GP per log. However, you can only gain this if you do manage to cut a magic tree down because they are very difficult to fell.
u suck banana picking is a horrible way to make money. i can make 1000 gold off of 10 coals that i can get in less than 2 min.
