Great F2P Way to Make Money


schoony

2007-10-26 14:34:43

This is an easy and non-time consuming way to make money for F2P.

Requirements:
  1. Recommended: At least a level 65 character (I do this with a 68)
  2. At least 100k (I will be writing this tutorial on the basis that you have 100k)
  3. Level 33 Magic for Telekinetic Grab
  4. Around 50 lobsters (just in case)

What to do:

First- Take your 100k to World 1 or World 3. Go to Varrock West and buy 300 laws with your 100k. (333 each) If you dont have at least 25 lobsters now would be the time to go buy them as well.
TO THE WILDERNESS!!


Second- Now switch worlds to a less full world. In you inventory you should have
  1. Your 300 Laws
  2. 1 Fire, Earth, or Water Rune
  3. Air Staff (Equipped)
  4. Rest of inventory should be filled with lobsters
We are going to the Nature Rune Spawns in the Wilderness. If you do not know how to get there, follow the map. (Click to Enlarge)




While getting here, you have to watch out for Pker's and the lesser demons right by the island (I just go as close to the island as possible. Right at the lava's end. They do not bug me when I am there.)

Finally- Cast your Telekinetic Grab on the Nature Spawns. There is one with three natures and one with four. Switch worlds after you get all the natures off the island. I personally find two worlds that have no one up at the island and switch back and forth. The Natures Spawn in between world switching. I can do 300 casts in about 2-2.5 hours. Now once you have done all the casts, go back to World 1 or 3 and sell all of your newly acquired Natures for 300 each.

If you get attacked, run south while eating and using prayer if you have it. Once you reach Level 20 Wilderness, Telly out of there!! This is why you brought a Fire, Earth, or Water rune :)

Now lets do the math:

[INDENT]Every 2 casts takes about 45 seconds- this includes the 10 or so seconds casting and the 35 switching worlds.

300(# of laws)/2(casts per world) = 150 world hops

150 X .75(it takes ~ 45 seconds for every 2 casts) = 112.5 minutes

Every 2 casts you get 7 Natures.

That means with 300 casts you should get just over 1000 Natures. Selling these would give you 300k.
[/INDENT]

You just turned 100k into 300k in about one days play time!! If you were to do this for a week, you would have 1.5 mil!!!

Here is another great idea thought up by Nose_smasher and Runescapian321:

From: nose_smasher
pretty good, but if you have 3 chars doin it, you NEVER have to wait to hop worlds… ;-) goes by way faster… (assuming you're not a noob)

Good tut though =)


From: Runescapian321
Wow, you're right, lets change those calculations a bit…Now you take approx 8 sec to tele-grab and 5 sec to change worlds. 150 worlds gets you 200k. 150 x 13 = 1950 sec = 32.5 min! Man, this is sounding good enough to make a script for lol. You get about 400k an hour. The only problem would be running all three chars back. Though if you're willing to risk it just buy a few k laws instead of 300. And if you see a white dot on the map immediately log out.


In other words, if you had three characters, you could assign each of them a world.

[INDENT]Example:
Character 1 is in world 122
Character 2 is in world 123
Character 3 is in world 124[/INDENT]

You would log in on Character 1, telegrab and log out. Switch worlds to 123 (or wherever character 2 happens to be), log in and cast. Change Worlds to where character 3 is set up. Log in and telegrab.

Wash, Rinse, and Repeat! :p

Each character would not have to wait to world hop. This allows you to almost quadruple your profit of only using one character!!

Creds. to Runescapian321 and Nose_smasher for their multiple characters idea.

Enjoy, and have fun Tele-Grabbing!!

Pretty good guide :) This is great for legit players. When I still played legit, I was looking for ways to make 100k an hour, this does about 110k. And the more money you have to start with the more laws you can buy then the more you can do in one trip. Only thing is is that it's very boring and risky.

schoony

2007-10-26 15:06:42

Yeah i will admit it is a little boring.

But this is one of the best ways for a F2P to make money without having to spend 10 hours doing so…

in the grand scheme of things thats not that much.

2007-10-27 00:08:48

Not a bad idea. Any type of good merchanting can make 100k in that time without the risk involved, though. Once, I bought about 1k laws for 250ea and sold some where around 400 ea.

Well merchanting only works well if you have a bit of luck and you need a few mil to start it. Doing this until about 3-4m then you can start making more money merching than doing that.

You know, I never tried to figure it out. I always did this with one character so the Natures were always back after I world hopped. Sorry…

why not buy coal at 170ea,iron ore at 100 ea.smelt it into steel bar and sell for 600gp ea.i use this method to turn 150k to 1000k in 1 week.though is boring and time consuming,but it's not risky at all.Might worth a try

If it's really good post a tut on it :p If you use a smelter script that could be very profitable.


Btw I was asking how long it took to respawn because it might just be better to just keep hopping to random worlds (it's easy nowadays to hop really quickly because of the way Jagex made the world changer thing on the log-in screen) instead of using just 3 worlds.

It is sooooo much easier to world hop now. I remember when you would have to go back to world select and wait for the new world to load…

Yeah I thought about that too. But I would say it is safer to pick three worlds because if you were just there under a minuter ago and there was no one there, wouldn't there be less of a chance of a Pk'r killing you? Going to a random world increases you chances of finding an unwanted visitor.

@g2gcya: I used to do that and it is very good money if you have a lot of time to put into it. But since school has started i have been looking for a not so time consuming way to make money, and I came up with the idea for this.

Good point. Lets see… 13 sec for the second guy to go on, 13 sec for the third guy to go on, 5 sec to get back to the first guy. 13 + 13 + 5 = 31. Hmm, sometimes if you're a bit quicker you might have to end up waiting to get back on the first guy. Using 4 worlds would make it work very well (all depending on how fast they respawn).

Actually you would have to add another 5 seconds. You forgot to add the time to switch worlds from character 2 to character 3.:rolleyes:

13 + 5 + 13 + 5 = 36. And if I am right, world hopping takes 35 seconds?

Lets see… So even with one character doing the Nature-Grabbing, you can make 100k an hour.

You would have to catch 400 lobsters an hour to do that… I dunno about you but it takes quite a bit longer than an hour to catch 400 lobsters in F2P

I did? Wait, ok so player 1 logs out. You switch worlds (5 sec), player 2 logs in, grabs runes, logs out (8 sec), changes world (5 sec), player 3 logs in, grabs runes, logs out (8 sec), changes world (5 sec), then player 1…etc.

5 + 8 + 5 + 8 + 5 = 31. No I didn't :p

Or maybe its because I'm saying getting runes take 8 sec and hopping takes 5 that you got different answer?


EDIT: Oh and how long does it take after you log out before it lets you log in on a different world? Is it 30 or 35?

Ooopss… my bad.:eek:

Actually if you have specific worlds set for each character you do not have to worry about world hop times. But I think it is 35.

2007-10-27 21:29:28

Uh-Oh. It takes approx 1 minute for the natures to respawn. Looks like for multiplayer to work you need to do random worlds and probably 4 players. Ah well, that not that bad.

Lacky

2007-10-27 23:44:21

Well, also, maybe not different worlds. When you log in jsut after you log out remember, you have to wait lie 30 seconds.

Then there is also the time it takes for you to actually log in, click on click here to play, get ready to start casting, then start searching. I think that could take up the minute?

With multiplayer. We were trying to figure out if using 3 players would work and make it very quick. We also wanted to see if using just 3 worlds (one player assigned to each world) would work, as that would slightly reduce the risk of being PKed. But now it turns out it wouldn't really work, you'd need atleast 4 players probably. 4 players = almost no point of being assigned to a world, it would hardly reduce your chance of being PKed. 4 players = Having to spread a bunch of money between all 4, and then getting the nats/cash back to your main.

So there are quite a few disadvantages using multiplayer :\

Lacky

2007-10-28 00:12:51

And also a lot of advantages! (More money, faster etc.(depending on the script))

Well, there isn't really a script for it. And even if there was I'd rather do it legit. If whatever you would do to make it look for white dots on the minimap would fail, b00m! There go all those runes.

But yeah, you'd get more money. It's better than using single-player obviously, but hard to set up and stuff. Just like either you have a huge ore company or you're just an average joe miner.

Nice thought, but theres these two points -

1) your computer would need over 2GB of RAM (I have 1GB and I can barely keep two windows working, if I put up a third my comp gets severe lag and it takes about 5 min to X the rs screens out)
2) that would GREATLY increase the amount of risk. You can't keep watch on four characters. While you're getting runes with player1, then player2, then player3, player4 might be getting ownt by PKers

oooo :duh:

Well really it only takes like a sec and a half to switch worlds with the way it is now :p
And since the nats spawn only every min then you can't leave 4 chars on certain worlds, you have to switch to different worlds every time.

I have 512mb RAM and I can play perfectly with 2 windows on low detail, RS on low detail uses 64mb RAM, so I can play with 4 screens at the same time:
64*4=256, so I even have room for the other stuff.
So I thinks ist not about the RAM, but the CPU, RS on low detail uses 300mhz,
300*4= 1.2Ghz, thats quite a chunk, cuz all the other stuff need your CPU to, and a single core CPU probably cant handle it cuz it has to do all the calculations for the 4 windows at the same time.

This is a good idea… but the times are wrong because you would still have to wait about 15 seconds for the natures to spawn. But I have a simpler one that you can do with the three characters, but it is a little risky.

Pick six worlds. For the example we will use world a, b, c, x, y, and z.

Character 1 will have worlds a and x.
Character 2 will have worlds b and y.
Character 3 will have worlds c and z.

Run through worlds a-c. Then switch to the other set of worlds and do x-z.

This is pretty risky but it would work perfectly with the time of nature spawns.

this is.. interesting haha. its very risky though. i'd imagine there are quite a few people doing the same thing. and plus world hopping gets irritating after a while

60+ woodcut for the win :)

Good guide but it would take a while to get a lot of cash unless you used multiple accounts :P

it is a very good f2p guide probably best way a non member could make 100k an hour other than pking.

I believe Crowded worlds give faster respawns.. So wouldn't that be best?
