Tips To Make Money In Old-School RuneScape

For the mobile gamers that enjoy nostalgic MMO experiences, Old School RuneScape, which was recently released by Jagex, is definitely worth a try. Similar to any of the MMORPG, money becomes essential to progress through the initial levels in this game.

Before we dive into the guide, here are a couple of things that the new players should know about. Our guide is dedicated to free-to-players. This means less accessibility to quests, skills along with other forms of content made available to the players that have paid for their subscription.

In addition to less content associated with the use of an account that is free, Jagex also limits accessibility to Grand Exchange, which is the marketplace which is a source to make money associated with many of the methods. The free players will need to ensure their account is active for at least 24-hours or they need to obtain 7 quest points (these are received after a player has completed tasks provided by NPCs) so that they are able to gain access into the Grand Exchange.

On a last note, some of the resources are overcrowded with the gold farmers, which results in competition and translates into slower or less gains overall.

Lets Get Chopping!

This is perhaps the easiest part of the game which involves chopping wood.

Once you have completed the tutorial move onto the Grand Exchange, found to the north of Lumbridge, situated in the city of Varrock. In the Grand Exchange, buy an iron axe which costs around 25 gold. You can also choose to rather keep the bronze axe that you received in the tutorial. Now you can go anywhere to start chopping wood.

Every log that you collect can be sold for 50 gold, yet at this stage your goal should be set on leveling up to the Woodcutting level. As you cut down trees you will obtain a few experience points associated with this skill. As you start to level-up, different tree types and more axes become available.

Once you reach level 15, you will gain access to the Mithril axe which provides a way to chop a lot faster as well as chop down the oak trees. When you chop down oak trees you will receive multiple logs which will assist you in making more money. When you reach level 41, you will gain access to a rune axe, which is the fastest of the axes. Carry on chopping along with selling to keep that gold flowing.

Mines Are Terrible Things To Waste

Similar to Woodcutting, Mining is one of the other skills available in the low levels which produce lots of gold and is free from any dangers. You can also get gold from Food 4 RS

To the south of Varrock you will find a mine where you can practice and develop your Mining skill. Similar to the Woodcutting tasks, as you level up your pickaxes will improve. The goal here involves reaching level 15 where iron ore starts to become available for mining. Every iron ore that you mine can sell for around 138 gold, which translates into a lot of money.

Moooving In For The Kill

If you would like to appease your bloodlust in the game Old School RuneScape, then this will be tactic suited to you. The cows in this game are level 2 and result in damage that is minimal. They can be found to the north of where you first started in Lumbridge. Every cow that you slaughter will leave behind a cowhide.

Once you have collected 200 to 300 cowhides take them to Al Kharid, which is to the east of Lumbridge, which you can access by either completing the Prince Ali rescue quest or paying the gate toll. Look for the tanner named Ellis who will turn your cow hides into hard-leather for only 3 gold each

Each piece of hard leather can be sold for around 138 gold.

Start Flipping Out

One of the traditions linked to all the MMORPG with marketplaces is to flip items. This means you will buy items at a set price, followed by selling them at the Grand Exchange for higher prices.

You can use the online databases such as GE Tracker to view the latest prices in Old School RuneScape. To make your money when it comes to flipping does require a bit of research, a bit of money to begin with, and some trial-and-error. As soon as you have found the right items, your gold will start flowing in.

You can make gold in various other ways, yet these methods are accompanied by minimal risks and do not take up a lot of your time. These are the ideal methods to earn gold for the newcomers to OSRS
