Money making guide

From the RuneScape Wiki, the wiki for all things RuneScape

There is an on going discussion about the money making metric here. Please add your opinions on how the money making metric should be.

This money making guide provides players with a list of ideas that can help them make money in RuneScape. When using this guide, players should keep in mind that the RuneScape economy is constantly changing, which means that not all of the information given here will be completely accurate. Although these methods were accurate for the majority of players, they are not guaranteed to work for every player. Making money is about working hard and using resources. Bear in mind that no matter how fast and effective one method may be, it still takes time and patience to earn large amounts of money.

Before you make your first edit or addition, please view the guidelines for adding information. These are so that these guides may be as effective as possible in helping players. Make sure Free-to-play methods are under both sections as members may wish to do them but that no Pay-to-play methods should be found under free-to-play sections.

Tips and hints

• The RuneScape Official Forums or the forums of a clan site can be used to help money makers buy and sell items.
• The Grand Exchange in the specified trade worlds (Worlds 1-6, etc.) is the busiest trading centre for both free players and members.
• At the Grand Exchange, there is a four hour limit for re-selling or re-buying the same item repeatedly.
• As Jagex releases new items into the game, cash needs to flow in different directions. Because of this, most items gradually lower in price after introduction. This means that if you hold on to a large stack of coins rather than a bunch of items that you never use, you will notice over time that you will be able to afford more than you used to be able to.
• There is an 8-hour limit for re-buying & re-selling barrows sets.
• Certain items are not tradeable over the Grand Exchange; however, they can still be bought and sold normally from other players.
• There is a limit to buying 2 discontinued items every 4 hours.
• When buying/selling items through the Grand Exchange, it's helpful if you buy items for a few GP higher or sell for a few GP lower. This way, you can automatically place your trade at the head of all the market-price offers.
