Moneymaking advice?

[James]

What's the best way for a noob like me to make money? I want to be able to buy a steady supply of bonds to keep membership going, but I'm dreadful with money. I can afford the first one now so the skills will show as f2pp but please offer members ways too.

My stats:

Side note: I have done barely any quests so try not to have things that have a quest requirement to do.

+rep for good ideas

get 85 dungeoneering and kill frost dragons

won't take you too long to get 85 dg either.

Choose the rapier as your first chaotic

I'm like 14k from 81 so should be quick.

oh cool, just need the dg level then

just go with an anti dragon shield and the rapier, antifire pots and I always pray mage just incase. If you've never done so before then watch a few tutorials!

We should play some time together :)

OT: I do it the old fashion way . I fish for tuna and sword fish. It's good money to me :P

spirit graahks and rings of duelling, craft double nats.
i would work on training your farming and construction too gradually, they will be useful when you try dungeoneering.
Matthew; what is money like at frost dragons now? I can only remember it ever being as high as ~2-3m/hr

With max gear you can push it up to 3.5m/h I think now.

with max gear that is pretty terrible
what is qbd like?

I think the best players can get about 5m/h there, all depends if you can get the 2 minute kills constantly really.

@Matthew (http://www.habboxforum.com/member.php?u=60298); what is money like at frost dragons now? I can only remember it ever being as high as ~2-3m/hr

well I can get 2m+ per hour and I have pretty average stats. :P

not sure about max combat etc

[Rachel]

Maybe cut enough yews in f2p and sell them. It may not be fast money but it is better then nothing. Dung was another method I was going to mention to get 85 dung but was already mentioned. Maybe train mining would be good as well...maybe.

I'd go with frosts. I would say merch/flip but if you don't have a lot of cash to start with that's not going to be too profitable.

yeah definitely flipping is a good way. I do some of my flipping using the margins on http://flipchat1fc.forumotion.com/

Most of them buy and sell extremely quickly and its normally 200k+ profit per item, and you can do each item every 4 hours. Easy money!

[Inseriousity.]

ive been mining gold in lrc, got 13m worth of gold ore in my bank and im going for 99 (96 atm) so should be substantially higher by time im done.

How much would I have to start off with, roughly?

[Zak]

How much would I have to start off with, roughly?

Well I started doing it a few years back but I had around 500M.

Flipping is far safer than merchanting. Merchanting can have big payoffs though, for example - recently it was announced that special attacks would be coming back and I had a haul of dragon claws just sitting in my bank. I forget what kind of profit margin it was but say I brought them all at 350k each and sold them all for over 2m (I sold them all higher than this but I forget the actual price :P)

1.65m profit on each - holding say 20 (350 x 20=7m investment) sell for 2m each (40m) profit 33m. I'm currently sitting on an item that if it went back to winning ways I would probably make a billion or so. Risky though!

Flipping is defo faster and steady profit if you do it properly, smaller margins but quick sales. $$$. When you get some serious cash you can flip larger items for big profit. :)

EDIT: Oh and don't forget to stock items for sale on BXP weekends :P

oh is there a difference between flipping and merchanting?
whats flipping then? :o
(sorry still a noob)

merchanting is more medium-long term, i.e. buy an item, wait for it's price to actually go up over time, and then sell

flipping is super short term, all you're doing is manipulating the grand exchange (as it always has people buying/selling at a range of prices). The idea is to buy slightly under the 'going rate', and then immediately sell it back for slightly over the 'going rate'.

For flipping honestly you can start with 20m. The more money you have, the more items and the more expensive the items you can flip at once, which equals bigger returns, but with 20m using the website I posted above you could easily start making some decent money.

What I normally do is go to the ge and put my buy offers in, then do a trip at frost dragons- by the time I return all of the items have usually bought. Then I put the sell offers in, and go and do another trip at frosts, by which time they've normally sold. Rinse and repeat with the next items.

[Joshirin]

Making money in RS3 is easy as, before EoC I had 2.5b, but now you could easily gain 10B in a few months or so.

Just PvM (get the stats) and Stake.

I have 2m loool :( would that start me off? even if it's slow at first?

[Matthew]

well it'd be so slow that there'd be no point :P

you're better off doing something else to 20m or so and then flipping alongside frosts or something.

[Zak]

Yes you can start flipping with a low amount of cash.
Matthew; made a good point. You could Flip and then PvM almost simultaneously. I'm sure there are plenty of guides out there to get you started on flipping. PvM and flipping are my main sources of income.

[James]

Just started flipping small amounts. been doing it for about 5-10 minutes & already 50k up. Why didn't i discover this sooner?
obvs when i get more money i'll be doing better items but for now it's working well :)

[doghunter90]

I find making unfinished pots are good money

[Rachel]

~ Cutting elder trees if you are 90+ woodcutting. It will be faster if you're 99.
~ You can make a bit at Miscellenia.
~ Cutting Magic trees
~ Plant herbs(farming) that you think that you can make profit.
~ Bossing (if you have a decent combat level)
~ Killing frost dragons ( need 85 dung)~ bones were like 16k each don't know about now.

[IceNineKills]

slayer. made my first legit 50m and 100m training slayer. its not fast but it's fun.

[Rachel]

Or you can buy bonds with real life cash and sell it at g.e lol
