Money making guide for Runescape free-to-play players

If you're just starting out in Runescape, or have been playing for a while, but still don't have much Gold, you might be looking wistfully at players with millions of gold and the most expensive items. 

We all want to have more money, but making money in Runescape can be difficult and time consuming, and many methods simply aren't worth it, so I'm going to explain a bunch of different methods that are not too slow, but will leave a big pile of gold in your bank. They range from killing monsters to mining ores, but they all have one thing in common, they use the Grand Exchange, so you'll need to be familiar with the Grand Exchange, if you aren't I'd advise reading this:

-Firstly, nearly all common monsters in Runescape drop Bones, which most players usually just leave lying around, or bury them for prayer EXP. But, you can actually sell Bones for more than 160 Gold at the Grand Exchange near Varrock. This method might not be the most profitable for higher levelled players, but it is quick and easy. You can either pick up Bones left by other players, or fight monsters and pick up the Bones (and sometimes more valuable drops). The goblin house near Lumbridge contains many Goblins which respawn quicker than you can kill them and will always drop Bones, so it is very quick to get a full inventory of bones (worth around 4800 Gold!) and you are near the Bank. The Goblin House is found by crossing the River you see when you leave Lumbridge Castle, and then heading North. Alternatively, you could just kill the Chickens a bit further North, which are easier to kill and also drop Feathers, which can be sold as well.

-For higher levelled players, making money through combat is often not as profitable as using other skills, but if you are above level 75 or 80, you can kill Cockroach Soldiers in the Stronghold of Player Safety, just North of the Barbarian village. Cockroach Soldiers often drop Rune equipment or other valuable items, or if you are lower levelled you can kill Cockroach Drones or Cockroach workers which give semi-valuable items and gems as well.

-A more unknown way of making money is by turning Chocolate bars into Chocolate dust by using a Knife on them (make sure you don't accidentally eat the chocolate though!). If you have enough money to start out with, buying around a hundred or more Chocolate bars, then turning them into Chocolate dust, which you can sell for around 100 more Gold than Chocolate bars,
