How to make money in Runescape

Are you called "noob" in runescape? Do you want to impress people with your wealth? Are you dreaming about how you could afford to buy your dream armor? Do you want to make millions on Runescape? How can you be a billionaire on runescape without buying the money online? If your answers are yes for any of these questions, this article is a must.

There are many ways to make money in runescape, but I will just go over the best ones. Members have better ways to make money, free-to-play also have ways to earn over 75k an hour.

Free-to-play Methods

1. Mining

Believe it or not, I made over 8m out of mining. To do this, train you're mining till 15 on copper and tin. If you are poor, you can bank them and sell them at grand exchange, but I do not recommend. Once you get to level 15, you can mine iron which retails for around 50-75 gp on g.e. Train on iron, if there are people already mining iron, hop to another world or go to another mine because chances are that if they have a rune pickaxe or so, they will always get the iron ore. Try to get the best pickaxe available. Train on iron ore from levels 15-45. After you have the ability to use a rune pickaxe, train at dwarven mines, al-kharid mines, lumbridge swamp mines, etc. on coal. Coal retails for over twice the price of iron and you can get around 4-5k an inventory. Continue training at coal or iron till 60. At level 60, this is the big break in making money. At level 60, you can enter the mining guild which has tons of coal rocks and barely any people. I easily get around 400 coals an hour at level 60 mining which is 60-70k. Also there is mithril for people who would want to make mithril bars.

2. Woodcutting

Woodcutting is also a great way to make money, but mostly at higher levels, unlike mining, which only requires around 25 mining to make lots of money. Train on regular trees to 15, then on oak trees. I recommend dropping the logs or lighting them to train firemaking. Train on oaks to level 41 until you can use a rune axe. Try to use the best axe you can so you can work more efficiently. From level 41-70, chop down willows trees. Yews are extremely slow at level 60, so I recommend you to wait until level 70. At 70, they are at a reasonable pace making around 60k an hour. The main disadvantage is that you have to train all the way to 70 in free-to-play to make real cash.

3. Smelting

Smelting the coal and iron ore you mine will also help you make lots of money. If you sell 2 coal and 1 iron ore, you would get around 380
