How would you like to open your bank and see millions of GP? How would you like to buy just about anything without having to worry about the cost? Well, look no further. This guide will help you achieve your dreams. And yes, I know the difficulties of making money as a new player to Runescape, but with my help, you will no longer have to go through what I did.

It isn't as hard as it seems though, it just takes time. As a beginner, the easiest way to make money is by killing cows right around where you begin, which is called Lumbridge, and picking up the cowhides they drop. Or you can just go walking around picking up cowhides that other players just leave there. After you make a small amount of money (at least 5k), then you can start training any moneymaking skill, such as woodcutting, mining, smithing, fishing, and crafting. The one I most recommend for players who want to make money fast is Woodcutting. At first, it'll seem like all that you're doing is for nothing, because the normal logs (the only logs you can cut as a beginner) cost almost nothing. Once you start leveling up and can cut better trees, you will see the cost of the logs will increase. Just work your way up to yew logs, which can be cut at level 60, and that's where the money will seem like it grows on trees. Yew logs cost approx. 440-470 GP each. For example, if you have 100 yew logs and the Market price is at 452 GP, then you will get 45.2k if you sell them. Just cut lots of yews and save them in your bank. Do this for a month or so everytime you get on. See, if you can get 100 yews each day (takes about an hour to do so), and multiply it times 30 days (about a month) and multiply the product times 452 GP, and you'll get a final product of over a million GP. Now, you can do that for 2 months or increase the amount of yews you get each day and you will have even more money!

Other skills that are great for making money are mining and smithing. Except these skills will take much more time to level up and the money making process won't take place until you're already high-leveled (60-99). You can just choose to mine, but it's much more worth it if you choose to smith too. Because once you get to the high levels (60-99), you will be making millions fast! I guarantee that. Just imagine, rune ores cost around 12k each and being able to smelt them will increase the value up to 20k! For example, if you have 100 rune ores and you smelt them then you sell them, you will earn 2 million GP! Your Runescape life will be so much easier that way. But remember, mining and smithing both take longer than most skills and takes a lot of dedication. You might just get tired of smelting the ores and just give up and sell the ores. Which is what I did. But don't. Believe me, smithing is so worth it.

Fishing is another good skill to make money. Catching lobsters and cooking them can be sold around 225-255 GP each. Swordfish on the other hand, cost around 400-450 GP each. If not, more. You will find that when the the lobster or swordfish is raw, the price will only be higher. That's because people will buy them raw so they can train their cooking, but don't sell them raw. It's good to train your cooking too. That way, whenever you need food to go PK (Player Killing) or for whatever reason, you will have your own lobsters or swordfish without having to buy them.

Well, I hope this helps you and will soon be a millionaire on Runescape!
