I remember meeting some guy that had me running runes for him (nature I think? the altar was on some island) and he gave me so much money I didn't even know what to do with it. All I had to do was run to the shop on that island, sell and buy the notes back so they were actually runes, and then head back to the alter to give them to the guy.

Back when they came out with that dungeon full of account safety quizzes or whatever, I ran it multiple times on alts and drop-traded the rewards on separate computers.

That was the easiest way to make decent money as a non-member with no "job".

When I got a membership I cut trees for a living to sell yew and magic logs.

I wish I knew wtf I was doing in RS these days... I wind up just logging in to chop Willow trees with the hopes that one day I'll hit 99 in woodcutting and then I don't know what I'll do.

I remember selling lobsters and swordfish (?) stuff like that. Didn't get super rich, but I made more than enough. It's been so long I can't remember much.

I never got rich, tbh

In order to pay for stuff like a rune pick/ax, I did a lot of essence mining (this was before they changed it so that members-only runes required members-only essence)

I would mine thousands of essence, and sell them for 20gp each

I wasn't into pvp, so once I had rune shit I retired to the Karamja docks to fish lobster all day (I gave them away cooked for the folk who were there training against lessers)

Things I remember farming for money:

lobsters/swordfish
giant bones
yew logs
dragon hides/bones
hunting stuff, not sure if it's still the case, but chins were a cash cow when they first came out

I think my highest worth was like 13 million when I stopped playing the game. Never got as rich as the people in my clan, but eh.

When I was F2P I would get my member friends to sell me Canifis Gloves for next to nothing. Dumb kids would pay goofy prices for teal and gold gloves.

When I became a member It varied depending on the day. Usually hours upon hours of woodcutting though. Never ended up reaching 99 somehow.

Lol, that's called nature rune running. You might have made what seemed like a lot of money to a newbie, but for a high level player that would have just been chump change ;)

I used to do that too when I was a noob.

Anyway, in Old School Runescape, you can make a lot of money doing PvM, basically killing bosses over and over trying to get really good drops. They've added a bunch of bosses that are hard but drop good stuff.

I had a mining alt named LoveHeart1, who never leveled anything combat-related and was thus super low level, but had an incredibly high mining stat or whatever. She wore all pink and had bunny ears. I got tons of free stuff just for walking around the mining guild on that account.

Scamming

I would get a friend and pretend i didnt know him. Would have him and a rando person follow me. I would first tell my friend (who pretended he was just following me too) to trade me a rare piece of armor just so I could try it on. Then I would give it back. The friend would show the victim. I promised some nice things for letting me wear the armor


More times than not, the victim would trade me something rare, and then i log off

Sold coal and giants' bones. I eventually made enough money to buy a full set of Guthix armor. There wasn't much else I felt like doing after that.

Nah. I'm in no need of money. I used to have the set but I was hacked and lost them and my santa. I only managed to get the two of the three masks back before it became near impossible for me to do so.

I hold onto everything of mine. I'm the kind of person who feels instant regret giving something up/away.

Why would you even.

I remember being PKed out there on free server so long ago. Someone attacked me and I was kicking their ass. Then a clanmate or something came out and killed me before I killed their friend.

I never PKed once.

That doesn't actually work that way. Both versions of runescape (runescape 3 and old school runescape) have items worth more than 1 billion GP. All the GE did was make it so people don't have to actually meet up with each other to trade, and it also makes buying random useless items for quests way easier. Before the GE, rare items were traded on the official forums and in World 2 falador or World 1 varrock for f2p

I used to mine coal and fish lobbies.

I was never super rich, but the time I made the most money was through sheer luck. I was trying to sell a poisoned rune dagger in Falador and for some reason a guy traded me a dwarf multi-cannon for it. Sold it for like 650k and only through that was I finally able to afford full rune and eventually a dragon battle axe (was still the most powerful weapon back when I played). Never had as much money since that.

It gets addicting dude, you wind up binge watching some TV show and not even paying attention to what you're doing in the game but you're still earning resources and stuff.

I forgot what mining is like in OSRS though. In RS3 resource nodes can produce multiple resources so you can AFK for up to a while sometimes until it runs out and you gotta switch rocks/trees.
