SRL Archive - Cash Guides

Hi there! I don't really know anything about scripting and I doubt I will ever find the motivation to learn, but I don't want to just be a proggy-posting leecher so I was thinking of other ways to contribute to the community.

I currently study funding and national economics in university and I was raised up in an environment where economics was a common subject for dinner talk (I'm a fourth generation banker in the making) so I thought I'd make a guide about something I know fairly well. Although RS trading has more or less nothing to do with the real thing, I'm pretty fascinated by RS economy and have gotten experienced with it (Trading in RS is actually the only reason I play the game).

I thought I'd make a poll about whether people think they would be interested in such a guide and what things they would like to see in it. If you're not interested please vote "no thanks" since I don't want to waste my time, no hard feelings. :) At the moment I have a project with agility 99, so I would start writing this guide after I have achieved that goal. Could be a month or two, this is just to find out if I should waste any thought for it.

What the guide would include: (I'm willing to add something else as well if requested)

So yeah, that's about it… But seriously, if you don't think the community needs another GE trading guide (I know there are like a million out there), let me know so I don't waste days writing it. Although I am pretty excited about it to be honest. :P

I would read it.

More knowledge wouldn't hurt :P

I think yes!

Im crap at this area so yes for me

If its free :)

Oh god yes. As captain poor, I would read that in an instant.

Yes, that would be very much appreciated. (Especially if it's free…)

Lol, I wasn't even considering asking something for it. Do people actually pay for guides?

Anyways, of course it will be free, would be pretty wrong of me to use scripts here for free and then ask something for the guide wouldn't it? :)

Excellent. Im very interested in your guide :)

I just got finished with 99 agility (yeey :)) so I'll start writing the guide in the very near future (few days, maybe a week). I'll write whenever I have free time from university and other things I've got going on atm, so don't think I can finish it in just a few days after I start. :p But anyways, it's on it's way!

Thanks man. Ill definately read it to its entirety.

Why not, go for it :)

As english is not my first language, I have a question:

If I want to sell something, do I put an offer IN the GE or do I put an offer ON the GE?

I want my grammar to be a good as possible so I just had to ask. :p

in the GE sounds good .

I love this idea. I suck at merching.

Awesome idea, make it happen!!! :)

I'd be very interested to see this :)

Pretty Pretty Please :D

Since I was in Merching before, I would like to see your theory and such :)

I think you should do it

Go for it! But don't give out specific items and such :/ merching is as simple as 5-1=4 ^^
