Tips for gold farming on Runescape: A quick and easy money making guide

Gold farming is a very popular and widely used concept in the online gaming world of Runescape. Gold farming basically defines the playing of the game solely for in-fame monetary wealth and gain and finding the best ways to get more gold fast and easy. Of course, given the fact that Runescape is a vast game that becomes even faster if you choose to pay a monthly membership fee for it, there are naturally countless ways in which you can farm gold in order to make money quickly and easily.

Gold farming at the Blue Dragons

The blue dragons are one of the best places in Runescape that a player can possibly gold farm. There are also several places to find Blue Dragons including the Ogre Cave near Yanille and beneath the Hero’s Guild not far from Falador. Simply go equipped with a bow and arrows or mage robes and runes and blast away until the dragon is dead. Collect the blue dragon hides and dragon bones and repeat until you have a full inventory. Sell these in the Grand Exchange or to players in person and per inventory, you can make over 100K in around half hour. That means in 5 hours or less, you will have made over a million GP.

Gold farming through the woodcutting skill

The woodcutting skill is a necessity for gold farmers. The skill can be raised incredibly quickly and easily and the fact that most trees are placed by banks makes it incredibly easy to make money fast. Simply level it up to the point where you can cut magic logs and cut the magic trees south of Seers Village. Magic logs sell for a high price per log meaning you can make your millions very quickly. If you get bored of magics, regular logs, oak logs and yew logs all fetch a pretty penny.

Gold farming through barrows runs

The barrows were introduced several years ago but still prove to be a viable way to make money, mainly because the items have dropped in price over the years and nobody cares about farming there anymore but the demand for the items still remains since the return of free trade and PKing. Gear up with runes, melee gear, food and teleport runes and head to the Barrows and try your luck at the final chest to see what loot you can gain and sell on for some awesome profit.

Gold farming through merchanting

The return of free trade in early 2011 has also seen the return of merchanting. Merchanting was once one of the best ways to make money quickly and gold farm in Runescape and now, it is back and better than ever. Merchanting basically defines buying for one price and selling for more, bargain hunting if you will. It can take time, but imagine if you can buy a Red Halloween Mask from a desperate seller for 120 million and subsequently sell it on when it raises in price for 160 million. That is 40 million profit from a single investment. Good things to merchant include yew and magic logs, holiday items, god swords and 3^rd age armour among plenty more. Follow the grand exchange, know the street prie and never be afraid to try your luck.

Gold farming through clue scroll hunting

Clue scrolls come in three different levels: Level 1 clue scrolls are the easiest, level 2 clue scrolls are medium and level 3 clue scrolls are difficult. Much like the difficulty, the wealth of the reward varies between levels with 1 being the lowest material value and 3 being the highest. Clue scroll hunting can be a great way to make tens and even hundreds of millions from a single journey. Do your research and find which monsters drop which clue scrolls and then fight them until you get them and then complete the scrolls and claim your gold farming reward.

Gold farming through rare item hunting

There are countless monsters in the game which drop rare items that are incredibly expensive. Rare item hunting can be one of the best ways to gold farm and make money quickly in Runescape. Do your research and decide what item you want to find and then do not stop until you get it. The Kalphite Queen and Dust Devils for example will drop the elusive Dragon Chain Mail, metal dragons will drop Dragon Plate Legs, Shadow Warriors will drop the Left Half of the Dragon Square Shield and Abyssal Demons will drop Abyssal Whips. There are countless other items to hunt and claim, it all depends on what you are looking for and how much you want to gain in regards to monetary acquisition.
