I used to have some money, but recently I raped my cash pile (training prayer, crafting, and smithing, plus finally getting some better equipment). I'd like to try and make some of it back since membership pins don't buy themselves, so are there any good money making methods with these stats?

I looked through everything the wiki had to offer, but honestly it doesn't look like any of their suggestions are profitable anymore (or at least those that are, only marginally so).

I'd prefer it to be members, and I'd prefer it not be a paid bot/script. Either something for me to script myself or someone else's script to use. Other than that, I'm open to ideas. Right now I'm mining coal in the LRC to try for 99 mining. I have about 10m left as capital to use for merching ect, but that's about it.

Have you checked Idk Whats RC's stuff?

Wasn't sure who that is, but a quick :google: yielded this:

If that's the one, he has some good stuff. Red d'hide tanning :surprised:

I heard in another thread similar to this that it's not gonna work.
Like you buy hide tan it then you won't be able to sell it just with losing money or gaining very low profit. Correct me if I am wrong.

Yeah, I figured 1.8m/h was a little too good to be true. Anyways, I was hoping for more skill-related stuff instead of just merching. Maybe I'll go do the lunar quests and Humidify clay or something. I'd love to get my RC up, but it just takes so long to train :(

most of the money making methods you find on the web for free are useless or near useless since they are available to everyone, its best to find your own way and dont tell it to everyone.

Honestly, when I used to play, I ended up with over 600M from simply training my skills in a strategic way (plus a little merchanting). I'd figure out a fast, but still a little profitable way of training my skills. A lot of money came from Farming (I had 99 when I sold my account), and even more came from Slayer. You'd be surprised about how much you make from collecting all the monster drops + clue scrolls.

This is of course if you play legit. For a script though, I'd just keep working at your 99 Mining. :) Use a lot of that coal to train Smithing. Just transition each skill to each other. Mine to train smithing, Runecraft to train Magic, etc., etc. If you just play the game like that you'd be surprised about how much money you accumulate.

92 mining, good. Why don't you mine runite? You can enter that 50 dung thing in the guild, right? There are supposed to be a few runites there.
Also real moneymaking is independent from skills (merchanting etc).
Long ago you had something called kingdom management, does it still work for some decent moneymaking?
Spirit Graahk nat crafting maybe? You can do nats and you are close to graahk.

This is the truth, and in my opinion, the better way to actually play the game.

It's ok but I think there must be some hidden methods of amazing money making because there's no way people who have party hat sets and every expensive item in the game have made it all just by playing the game right. Bug abuse maybe?

You'd be surprised. A lot of those players are the ones that have been around from the beginning and their money just accumulated over time. I was by no means a master of the game and I had well over 600M just from playing for a few years. Plus a lot of people stake hardcore which I'm sure helps quite a bit. I can't remember his name, but there's a guy who has billions and billions simply from playing the game.

Good for them … they have more rsgp then me.

Oh wait, I didn't wasted my life on runescape?

I'm still making ~1m/week with my kingdom

nat crafting is useless now. might as well do astrals

Between Herbs, Fishing, and WCing, which would be the best place to allocate 5 workers? I currently have 10 on coal (to help fuel my current smithing bender) and the other 5 are doing maples to stockpile for fletching. Since maples aren't a good use of workers profit-wise now that prices have dropped, I'm trying to figure out where to put them.

I can, however RSBot has a bot for that resource dungeon meaning tons of competition for 3 slowly-respawning runite rocks. I've considered writing a script to mine runite near Neitiznot, but never got around to it.

I do combat and questing legit, skills are mostly botted. I do train slayer a lot, but my clue rewards have always been terrible (even for hard scrolls); most of the time I end up losing money just from buying the stuff needed for emote clues :(

Emote clues? Are they new? I don't remember them. Also, when I said monster drops, I meant I collected EVERYTHING, even the useless shit. It all adds up eventually. That being said, I did make most of my money from Farming. Mostly herbs, but I did basically everything (berries, allotment, herbs, flowers, fruit trees (just picked the fruit)). When you go around collecting your produce every hour or so (longer for fruit), they add up quickly and before you know it, you have 10M in produce. You can also use the herbs for Herblore and sell the potions.

Emote clues (or Uri clues) are the ones where you wear a few random items and then do an emote at a specific place.

Why not pickpocket Master Farmers at level 99 with gloves of silence and an Ardougne cloak 3? I think Thieving is the EASIEST and FASTEST 99 with the release of the Thieves' Guild. I'm getting ~100k XP / h at level 75 blackjacking the trainers and expect to get ~200k XP / h at level 90. Pretty quick since no supplies are needed (it's free woohoo). Plus, pickpocketing them is so easy any bot can do it (for both Master Farmers and the trainers).

I use the RSB script pNThievingGuild Pro.

Ohhh right, I forgot about those.

Why would those cost you money? With the GE it should be simple to sell whatever's required when you're finished.

Sometimes there's just random stuff that doesn't sell and can't be alched for the GE price.

You should consider thieving, Master Farmer maybe?

I would think Jagex would have the clues include items that don't cost a fortune.

Iron boots are used in emote clues, they are around 10k gp now :P I bought them ge and my reward was 2 black items and biscuits. Not a great return on investment.

10k is nothing really though you just got unlucky with the reward haha

My point was, I never get lucky in the rewards and end up having to buy expensive shit for all my emote clues. Yes, it is possible to lose money to treasure trail clues. I don't rely on them for money, and I've even considered just not doing them anymore.

But you can keep the stuff, so it's just a one-time investment.

You have some really high-levelled skills, just use them and you should be fine ;)

Try cannonball smithing. You can also try your luck with barrows and clues.
