man, i could’ve used this years ago when i was stuck in f2p, nice seeing people still making f2p bond guides despite them being 10m-ish

[@GoldRocketGamers]

Yeah it's still surprisingly doable! I felt exactly the same, hence why I made this guide!

[@mindalter]

just found your channel, just wanting to say how soothing and calming your voice is

[@GoldRocketGamers]

I'm so glad to hear that, hope you continue to tenjoy the channel. Thanks for the kind words of encouragement :)

[@Smithwydkawb]

Great video! New f2p player who’s never played OSRS before and this was a super helpful updated guide.

[@GoldRocketGamers]

Excellent, so glad to hear it, let me know how you get on or if there's any other helpful videos I could make!

[@mariawood3561]

Thanks for the tips. Very useful video 🎉

[@GoldRocketGamers]

Happy to help!

[@Durins_Babe]

Great video ! i also love your voice, it's very relaxing.

[@GoldRocketGamers]

Thanks a lot! Haha I'm glad my voice came across ok, everyone hates hearing their own voice. I'm also a bit of a noob when it comes to audio recording so still figuring out my mic settings. So I'm forever worried that the audio sounds trash!

[@mariawood3561]

I was thinking about this as well, ASMR voice 😂😂

[@what-oy8il]

Great video!

[@GoldRocketGamers]

Really glad you enjoyed it!!! Thanks for the encouragement 😊

[@jkg2535]

Nice video bro I just started a f2p account and needed help to get a bond thanks.

[@GoldRocketGamers]

Thanks a lot, glad to hear it helped. Let me know how you get on!

[@mrpewpew8872]

This is my life right now lol 😂 first time ever playing the game, trying to work my way too a bond

[@GoldRocketGamers]

I know the feeling, RS is all about the grind but it really does feel rewarding when you get there. Give me a shout if you'd like any tips or a video on a particular topic as a new player.

[@mrpewpew8872]

@@GoldRocketGamers thank you luckily I have friend offering to give me 10mill, soo I’ll just to sleep f2p at least for 2 weeks lol

[@GoldRocketGamers]

@@mrpewpew8872 fair enough, makes sense to get into members as soon as. Just careful not to fall into the trap as a new player where people gift you stuff and you actually end up missing a load of content because you've essentially been skipped past it. Getting a bond makes sense though, don't get me wrong

[@mrpewpew8872]

@@GoldRocketGamers ahhhh yeah, ive done a good bit of the f2p stuff already lol just been here crafting diamond necklaces for profit, already at 72 crafting Because of it and I’ve been playing for 4 days maybe

[@darthfruits]

just another tip for alching if you use oldschool tools there's an alch calculator that shows the best items to alch and profit

[@GoldRocketGamers]

Ahh I didn't know about this, can you filter just on F2P items? Looks similar to the table on the wiki, but gives you a bit more granularity on what profit you're getting on each item (on the wiki you'd have to piece together the info yourself)

[@darthfruits]

@@GoldRocketGamersyep there's a hide members option

[@GoldRocketGamers]

Ahh nice one, could be very handy!

[@PilotLH]

The problem is the buy limits at the GE which prevent high alching being a solid moneymaker. You can buy the max rune platelegs and high alch them in less than 10 minutes and then have to wait 4 hours to buy more..

[@GoldRocketGamers]

Yeah Ive got you, but the table I showed had 17 different items to buy, and by the time you've bought and alch'ed all 17 a significant amount of time should have passed. Also I recommend putting in large buy orders whenever you go offline as you can complete multiple buy limits if you are offline for more than 4 hours.

[@miciso666]

Dont go member. Unless u know what money maker works there. Its 800k a day for member now. 600k if u do 20 bonds.

[@GoldRocketGamers]

I agree with your point, would you be interested in seeing a members money making guide?

[@miciso666]

@@GoldRocketGamers yeah i was legit thinking bout methods. recently bonded up my skiller and 4 days left. i made like 20m :D so almost 3 bonds. after im going 20. for that 600k a day. with zalc its easy.

[@GoldRocketGamers]

@@miciso666 wow that's good going. I'm gonna work on a video for members money makers. Let me know if you have any suggested methods to try out

[@GoldRocketGamers]

Got a members money maker video coming out soon, I think all of the methods will make more than 600k GP/HR so hopefully that will help!

[@WarlordEXO-jg1ov]

Bro made a 14minute video to tell us to highalch alchables…

[@GoldRocketGamers]

Haha well, it's the best F2P money maker hands down, unless you know of a better one? For me, the journey of getting to the magic level whilst still making money whilst training was the more important part.

[@user-jc3pl3de8b]

I know this video is for people who dont want to spend money but i personally would build my account and its stats and gp a bit before buying a bond that way you have gp and levels to work with when you get members and it will be easier to make gp i work a full tine job so a bond is like 15 or 20 minutes of work every 2 weeks its not alot of money at all

[@GoldRocketGamers]

Yeah I feel you, that's exactly how I got started on my main, trained a bit then bought membership. I just like the challenge of getting there from nothing, but buying bonds is of course completely legit.

[@Sanguivore]

You make $32/hr? ;-; Jesus, I need that job!

[@user-jc3pl3de8b]

@@Sanguivore even if you make half of that a bond is still less than a hour of work in 2 weeks it's better to build your account and gp then buy a bond or 2 (or 1 month of membership) with irl money so you can make enough gp so you can keep buying bonds with gp slayer is the best place to start level 70 kurasks is where you start making some money but the new update with fever spiders is 2m a hour and only requires 42 slayer and a couple quests but i think they will neft that very soon all in all its worth to buy your first month of membership and stack up the gp and stats then getting stuck in the infinite loop of maintaining a bond as a lower level once you get decent stats and gear 12m every 2 weeks is actually not alot

[@Sanguivore]

@@user-jc3pl3de8b I appreciate all the advice, bud! That’s definitely helpfing. I’m not actually playing OSRS at the moment, I was just incredibly surprised at your payrate, LOL. In my state, you’re lucky to get a job that pays you $7/hr., much less $7/15min.

[@GickelsGaming]

stealing wine is ok but alch flipping isnt a great suggestion

[@GoldRocketGamers]

You reckon? It's how I got my bond and I definitely made more gph alching than stealing wine. What would you do in free to play to earn the most money?

[@Heppleeee]

Where the hell you working 20 hours for like £10 😂

[@GoldRocketGamers]

Haha it's all part of the RuneScape experience. I mean if you wanna save time, don't play the game at all 😜 seriously though, I do get that not everyone enjoys the grind and buying a bond with real money is completely legit

[@chadholt9036]

20 hours Jesus Christ g

[@GoldRocketGamers]

Embrace the grind! :P

[@Desperado070]

No matter how you turn it, no matter how less you earn in real life. You should NEVER but NEVER work ingame to earn a bond alone. That means you are working for 1.30 euro per hour, you working for less than slave wagery. Even if you work 1 hour in game you still earn 13.50 and I'm still here asking if you lost your mind? In real life you make 20/30 euro a hour, 1 shtty hour work is almost 3 bonds straight. You doing them shtty work in game so why won't you do it irl when the pay is 30 times higher? *NEVER SPENT A SINGLE MINUTE INGAME GRINDING FOR COINS FOR BONDS BECAUSE IF YOU DO, YOU ARE STUPID HAHAHAHA* 😂

[@ageofampire2]

Not everyone is over 18 or has a credit card , also not everyone lives in usa , with how shit the economy in my country is i probably earn more in osrs then in real life

[@Desperado070]

@@ageofampire2 Mate I was 8 when I went cleaning cars with a bucket and sponge, 1 car is 1 bond

[@ageofampire2]

@@Desperado070 did you also have a credit card at 8? I get paid cash at my job so i don't even have a card.

@@ageofampire2 bank card, yes. But back then you also could pay with your phone. Costed twice as much in phone prepaid cards but we got member so no complains. I don't live in the us either

[@GoldRocketGamers]

I just personally really enjoy earning stuff in game and becoming 'self-sufficient'. I do make the point you are making about 2 minutes into the video though, so I do see where you're coming from! You obviously don't enjoy the 'grind' and would rather use your real world money to fast track some of that, which is perfectly legitimate and your prerogative. People play games differently and that's absolutely fine - and one of the great things about RuneScape!
