A Beginners MONEY MAKING Guide - F2P Old School RuneScape

[@Dicerz]

Hey guys, this guide is over a year old so some of the methods may not be viable anymore. However, for newer players, I have very recently created a 3 part series called "Escaping F2P" which covers a bunch of different money making methods for f2p, all of which are more up to date with more accurate information than this video here. Check out Part 1 of Escaping F2P here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qKOyk4iOeJeMbqM

Your video defeats its own purpose. You call this a guide for the 'absolute beginners' and yet its funny how you expect these newbies to know exactly the G.E Location, where to start Quests, and where the mining spots are. If the player knew this much about runescape, in my opinion they would no longer be considered an absolute beginner. So once again, your video is irrelevant and useless. The purpose of my comments aren't to hurt any feelings, I just say shit like it is. My suggestion is you, teach people how to get to these locations, before explaining how to go about questing and making money.

[@AgressivePigeon]

Why do we come back? I had so much fun with this game a long time ago, it wasn't about making money or being the best, everything was just amazing to be a part of. I don't know if its nostalgia, but I feel the need to rebuild my long forgotten character, to honor those good old days with friends I no longer hear from. I'm so busy these days this will take a long time, but I feel like it must be done. One final big quest. Thank you for making these amazing tutorials and improving the journey.

[@blake2631]

Blind Roach coming back from quitting back in 06...ah the memories. My first Mmo I played on PC. Maybe it can just be a glimmer of what it was back in it's prime....

[@blake2631]

All the kids on my block played this with me back when I was in school. I think that's what makes a game, friends.

[@nguyeneric4576]

Blind Roach That's your experience. Lol it was definitely about making gold.

[@Kris-im8bn]

hows your journey 5 years later?

[@AgressivePigeon]

@@Kris-im8bn damn it's been that long? It went well! I feel like I got to rebuild that character. One of the things that hurt the most was that my old name was taken, and my OG account lost, so that's part of the reason I started a new character. Some time ago, after a few requests, I got my old name back! Of all the things I got to do, reclaiming my name felt the most emotional. Right now I'm taking a break, got all the quests I wanted done, got the gear and skills I wanted as a kid (also felt like it was time to grind xp IRL). The moment I felt like I beat the "mission" was when I finally walked through the members only gates outside Falador. As a f2p kid, they were like this impossible thing to open, and I only imagined what laid on the other side. Ramble over haha, thanks for asking!

[@sashagames3160]

maybe an important note for beginners (haven't watched full video yet, so don't know if you touch up on it later), but he bought full rune trimmed gold, which is quite a lot more expensive than normal rune armour, but the trim is purely cosmetic and doesn't make it stronger. So just buying a normal rune set is good too, so with that money you even have MORE than more than enough money for all the f2p stuff :) Love watching the video by the way! Really nostalgic for some reason. I think because I used to mine all the time in my early f2p runescape days. I would mine 2000 coal in the mining guild (of which I remember I was sooo proud when I could finally enter it lol) and then 1000 iron and smelt them all into steel bars. I'd then sell those for 500-550ea at falador park and then repeat the process to slowly save up so I could buy saradomin rune armor which was a couple mil back then. Aww man good times... Thanks for bringing those memories back!

[@mechamelon5189]

You might have saved me so much money thank you!

[@szuletettgamer2556]

True A guy gave me saradomin armour FOR FREE (lol) though

Considering playing Runescape? Answer these questions to see if this game is for you. Do you have an addictive personality? Do you have a sliver of a life and enjoy it? If you answered yes to any of these then Runescape is NOT for you!

[@bron2452]

Literally the most helpful video I have ever seen, no exxageration, I've been looking up guides all day Because I just got into runescape around 3 days ago and every guide is way too confusing and they always expect brand new players to know where a location is so they'll just say the name and not show where it is and then they'll tell us to get a bunch of items without telling us why and it's been troubling but this was the first clean cut clear guide to early gp making. See, I've been having a blast playing it blindly with no help so far but was unsure if I was doing things wrong or inefficient and I really was making gold super slowly, gonna hop on today after work and use the info you have here and hopefully make some quick gp and have loads of fun, thank you.

[@Dicerz]

Glad to know it helped :)

You can't telegrab wines anymore. The monks attack you if you telegrab now. And lower your magic level a little everytime so it's a lot harder to do now. Not worth the trouble

[@drunkenlama6030]

Go up the ladder and theres another zammy wine n the monk doesnt attack u when u tele grab it

Plus, bots in f2p are literally everywhere you can't do shit

[@CherryzB]

One thing to mention (which I didn't understand at first) is that "world-hopping" is the act of switching to various servers wherein you might find fewer people doing that particular task. It can be accomplished through the log-out tab.

[@janglenutter3820]

Easy but tedious money. You have to be 18 hours old to sell cowhide, so you have 18 hours to farm cowhide. It sells for around 140 per. So yeah... I managed to get 6 full inventories per hour walking and without much competition for the hides. Say you run 6x28 for 8 hours, that's 1,344. 1,344 for 120GP is 161,280. It's tedious as all hell, but consistent. If you buy membership, spinning flax into bow strings has one hell of a turnaround. 4GP for the flax sell the string for about 120. Super grindy, but it pays.

[@daoyang223]

Get mems. Do farms. At level 60 farming you can make 10m per four days just doing casual farm runs in between your tasks whether it be slayer or questing

[@candlestyx8517]

I would rather chop oak logs outside of the Varrock bank. I could easily make that 161k in an hour and a half.

[@exodus9320]

There are always 10-20 bots at mining spots, and zammy wines are botted/ camped by pkers same goes for nats. I havent been to the mining guild but i presume its just as bad . Best way to make honest cash without flipping etc is get 40 fishing or 45 wc. Do dragon slayer (only need 40 attk and 30 in str/def) then do the corsiar cove quest. The resource area at the cove is never botted and near a bank , has 4 lobby/swordfish spots, 4 Maple trees to train to 60 wc quickly and 3 yew trees to make cash .

[@bottlesenpai4956]

Why do you need to do the dragon slayer quest?

[@newera478]

@@bottlesenpai4956 So you can enter the resource area.

[@LordZoth6292]

Thank you. It's been over 10 years since I played regularly and I needed to get past that little beginners hump again

[@thomasdevelops3087]

If you don’t want to train up about 40 attack for the iron mining you can also mine it at the quarry near rimmington and use the deposit box at port sarim, it might even be a bit shorter than doing it in falador

[@candlestyx8517]

This is also the best place to mine tin and copper in f2p. the two clay nodes are always taken by bots

[@miciso666]

good tip when doing cows do prince ali resque. this removes the 10 gold fee needed :D saving a hefty amount of cash in the long run.

[@miciso666]

also always train attack first. never above 40. then strength to like 20ish then just get defense to 40 as a newbie u will never need defense above 30 trust me... it wears adamant the second best armour and training to 40 early on is useless as u cant wear rune body yet. also once u notice u donnt need armour at around 20 for cows. dont wear armour anymore. weight means less running.

[@miciso666]

even more nagging dont use lobsters when not doing melee combat. just fucking buy a wine. it heals nearly the same costs only 3 gold. instead of 150. and the one downside is -2 attack for a minute.

[@ALittleKitten]

What i did at the start when mining was mine both copper and tin and turned it into bronze bars in lumbridge you make alot more then just selling copper ore

[@thecoldduvet7381]

Should have made gear from it to sell, there is a bank and anvil next to the GE you get more gp (Most of the time) And that extra slither of exp

The whole thing to start mineing the gold at the guild only took me like 8 hours

Level to 40 fishing in a couple hours. go to karamja dock. run lobsters back and forth to deposit box at port sarim entrana monk dock location. Get like 300-400k for a hard few hours

[@SyberQ]

This may be late but if you join a server with little to no people, next to lumbrige (the spawn location) is iron ore so you don't have to train then strenght and mineing super high, yes you can do it, but there is more iron next to lumbrige than Varrock, AND the bank is very close to it

Thank you for this guide. I used to play over a decade ago and i was so disappointed to find my account is trapped in RS3 which i don't enjoy unfortunately. The account had a Scythe from 2003 - 2004 and level 99 in most of the F2P skills, all achieved in F2P. So... really sucks! But er... i might make a new account on OSRS. I might just do that.

There's just one small thing that you didn't mention, about when you get to level 41 mining and get the rune pickaxe. Whenever you get the rune pickaxe, you will also need about level 40 attack to be able to wield it. But yes, mining and selling copper and selling cow hide as well will help you get a good amount of gold. Also mining for rune essence,(after completing the rune mysteries quest) will also help you gain a lot of gp as well, after collecting a good amount of rune essence. Yes, I'm well aware this video is at least about a year old and there have been a few updates that have been added. But I have to say overall, this guide looks very helpful, and anybody can do this. I'm an experienced Runescape player, I joined back in 2007 and playing this on mobile is very fun in my opinion. I love to be back on Runescape and having a chance to be playing this again.

[@TheAndersWA]

Hello there. I was wondering why you are lowering the price on the stuff you are selling and raising the price on the stuff you are buying on the GE. I don't quite know how it all works. I've just started playing OSRC again after 8 years or so. I am following this guide of yours and I just hit 41 in mining. I took another path though, cause I mined tin also to make bronze bars, because the price on 1 bronze bar is higher than 2 copper ores, therefor the more money i can make AND skilling my smithing as well. I am so excited to get to the crafting part, that seemed awesome. Although an old video and a long post, I hope you find your way to give a good answer/feedback. Have a good day!

[@macgyvermankirk572]
