Easy way to train Magic

lowmagelevel
Want a higher mage level, but hate training on monsters? If you have a high level friend that plays too, bring him to the duel arena. Then train your spells on him while he stands there and watches you. It will hardly do any damage to him, and dueling is safe so dying is not problematic.  This allows your character to seamlessly train up mage. It might work for range, but melee combat skills require damage to give xp. So, if you want to level up in mage quickly (especially from lower levels) grab a high level player and head to the dueling arena! So far the staff girl in the picture has gotten 17 mage starting from lvl 1 mage about 20 minutes ago.

How to get rich on RuneScape

getrich

The internet is flooded with sites boasting get rich quick Runescape guides or even real world trading Runescape items. It should be known that these sites are not worth your time. The get-rich quick runescape guides simply share a few outdated strategies on ways to make money (they use time calculations to show off big digits that appeal to the reader) by saying you can collect feathers for an hour to make a certain amount of gp, then if you did that over the course of a week you’d have 7x the original amount and become a millionaire quickly. Well all that is pointless. Feathers are purchasable in infinite stock, so do not waste time collecting feathers.

There are many ways to get rich on RuneScape. Some people merchant, some people kill high level monsters, some people sell items obtained from skill training. I have found that one of the easiest ways of getting rich is simply training a skill. It is time consuming, but here are some easy ways to level and make the most of your time. Here is the process:

  1. Choose a skill that is relatively easy to train (woodcutting or fishing or even combat skills)
  2. Find something to do that can be easily done while also playing RuneScape. Here are some things you can do:
    • Watch a movie. You can resize the Runescape window so that you can watch your movie but see your player at the same time.
    • Watch free HD episodes from the ABC network. I like to watch Lost. (www.abc.com)
    • Learn about Runescape. Open another browser window and read the RuneScape blog or explore the Knowledge Base.
    • Use the Grand Exchange database to find data charts on the items you are fishing/woodcutting/receiving. This can help you find out when the best time to sell will be.

3. Do it! Start up Runescape and get busy! Now that harmful randoms are gone, you do not need to worry about breaking your woodcutting axe or losing your lobster pot!

4. Once you fill up, hit the bank and set your character back to work!

5. Before you know it you will stack up on items you are “powering.”

Grand Exchange: How to make a profit on RuneScape

grandexchange

The Grand Exchange is your friend. Think of it as a RuneScape stock market that IS failsafe, relatively speaking. There will never be any market crashes, however price fluctuations can vary greatly depending on certain updates, new minigames, or whatever the case may be. After the release of PVP worlds, for instance, food prices and weapons and armor skyrocketed. I sold my full dharoks set at a price 1m over what I paid for it. However, usually these updates are announced beforehand, so you have some insider trading knowledge as to whether you want to compete or not.

Just recently I started investing in lobsters. They’d sell at night at the market price: 220 / lobster, but then during the day the demand would be much higher and I’d be able to sell them fast at a price of 225 (lowest I go), which is only 5gp more per lobster, but when you sell them in bulk amounts ( i usually buy around 60k of lobsters to sell) 60k x 5 = 300k. Now , this is a fairly small profit for such a big investment (60k lobsters at 220 per is 13,200,000 gp.) Obviously this is a risky investment, so it is important to watch the RuneScape news and make sure if you do invest in something that it won’t go belly up.

As a general rule make sure the item isn’t too costly. The more it costs, the more investment you are making in for the less profit. Something cheap that is widely used is your best bet. Good luck.
