Best moneymaking method for this account?


Footy

2012-08-29 19:40:38

Hey guys, I'm looking to increase my fairly small cash stack on this account. I havnt attempted to make serious money in a while, so I'm wondering what the best way to do this is these days. If there are any stats i should raise to make money, or any other methods you can think of, please post them below! Also, I am currently not a member, and I have about a 3m cash stack for "investment". Seeing how this is a f2p account, im not expecting any more then 100k/hr.

I've never PK'd succesfully, but if its worth the gamble, I can try that. Still looking for more "bottable" methods for when I'm not at my computer!

I can't say what to do for f2p but if you ever get members again, fletch ftw.

Is there a script for that? I know there was one, but I can't find it anymore…
I feel like such a noob asking this.

Oh okay, thanks man.
I personally would like to keep to simba, I don't trust any other bots.

I think smelting steel bars is over 100k an hour.
I'll edit if I think of anything else that's better.

Buy 3m worth of irons and coals in ratio, smith steel bars with narcle's, repeat. Pretty good money, having to go to the ge every few hours is the only catch. I once ran narcle's for 15 hours nonstop, made a bit over 2m.

First one isn't for ftp :/ and second is outdated :/

If that was my account i'd either superheat steel or plain smelt it at a furnace. Or you could do some wine grabbing - theres a good script in powerbot vip atm and you can get attendee (for 7 days) easily enough by lending them an acc in a random. Another thing you could try is wilderness looting but I don't know what you would make.

killing hill giants and selling the bones and other drops was how I made money in f2p, or GOP.

Solar

2012-08-30 05:42:26

I think superheating steel actually makes a very small loss right now, but smelting still profits.

Back in teh F2P days, i would go into the Edgeville Hill Giant Resource Dungon.
I used to use EpicBot's fighting script, and loot the runes, bury the bones and loot rubies only.
I made about ~5M there, and got a shit load of combat+prayer xp

Use Punonajonny's resource cutter and get your woodcutting up, then do yews at 99 for a significant cash flow!

Yews are terrible money in F2P because of all the bots atm, even with 99. So unless the bot nuke clears most or all yew cutting bots, they wont be too profitable.

Footy. I suggest whatever you do… Flip lobsters whilst doing so.
Every chance you get log on and resell / buy ge.

I don't know if you know how to flip. but ill give you a quick run down..

So lobsters i think are … 148.

if you press -5% once.. it goes to about.. 139.. .. put it up .. to about 140.. 141..

Buy as many as you can.

Next sell them… press +5%… If it goes to 165.. put it down to 163..

So lets say you put 3m.. you'd get roughly 20k lobsters.

10gp profit off each one is what you should aim for..

20,000 x 10 = 200k profit.

It's really easy.

You can also do with swordfish.. though with 3mil you can't buy many.

The higher your money stack the easier to make money.

Why nobody is talking about alching stuff?
If you choose right stuff to alchemy, 100k/h profite can be easily made.
By the way, I think the most profitable thing is making anchovy pizza, or making pie shells.

Make script to run on foreign servers=profit.

Yews on foreign servers eh? What are the numbers like on foregin servers? Are mining and woodcutting spots still crowded?

Legit, you could get like 150k/h when they were around 400 gp each. I did it before the nuke.

yea still not sure why we haven't done this like 2 years ago

I'd hand convert all the words used for like trees etc so fast..

like 5, total… last I checked
as in the entire world has 5, LOL.

we would need to make an include that instead of 'Chop Yew' has whatever it whatever it says in the other language, I don't think that is too difficult the hardest part was I believe simba doesn't have the special character recognition or at least back when it was first discussed it didn't.. something like that

I'd be totally willing to go around and s/s all the right clicks used for certain bots though, if we just did some of the good ones like yews or magics it wouldn't be too bad?

Footy

2012-08-31 00:03:33

Are you serious? If its that vacant, I'll make a script for this next week. Just gotta try to work around the special characters I guess…

grats

2012-08-31 00:05:43

Yea, I can check them right now give me a few minutes



see years later and it's dead

I honestly don't know why it hasn't been done when first discussed, I did portugues because the french and dutch one probably has more imo

my highest ping on those is 54 btw, and I'm in the middle of the USA (Colorado)

Is it possible to run SMART on foreign servers? I haven't gone on one in quite some time

grats

2012-08-31 00:58:03

yea you have to change the game pointer or something I don't really know

instead of

http://www.runescape.com/l=3/game.ws?j=1

something like that?
well that's the URL to the one I used, so.. smart should be able to use it


yea that opens to Portuguese no matter what language you have set, so that would work
I used to know how to change smart URL but it's changed a lot. probably can do it in the source somewhere super easily
