Making money in RuneScape is challenging, but vitally important if you want to get the best equipment for your character. Whether you're interested in Player vs Player combat, high level dungeons, or just role-playing in cool clothes, you need money to achieve your goals.
RuneScape Gold Strategy Guide is the unofficial guide to legitimately making millions in the RuneScape MMORPG. Once you have learned the skills and techniques in the book, you will be equipped to level up faster, earn quicker, and enjoy the game more. Learn where to find the best places to train your skills, what items to buy and when, and how to avoid scammers taking all your money! The book covers gold-earning topics such as gathering, crafting and trading in depth.
Chapter 1, Can I Ever Afford 8 Million Gold for a Dragon Pickaxe?... introduces and briefly explains the world of RuneScape.
Chapter 2, Making Earning Easier... gives a brief introduction to the world of RuneScape. You learn how to select a world; how to take advantage of time zones, activities, and server differences to find a good farming spot; how combat levels are calculated and why they matter; and how to get started in the game.
Chapter 3, Earning Gold with Gathering skills... explains the gathering skills in detail — what they are, what they provide, and what those skills can be used for. It also teaches how to maximize your income.
Chapter 4, Earning Gold with the Artisan Skills... explains the artisan skills, how it's possible to make money with them, and how you could lose money too! It also explains about merchanting, or arbsitrage — the practice of buying items for the purpose of re-sale later at a profit. These skills make use of in-game resources and turn them into useful items such as weapons, armour, and food. There's money to be made at each stage of the creation process.
Chapter 5, Dungeoneering... explains dungeoneering, what it is, and why you'd want to do it.
Chapter 6 Avoiding Scams... looks at the darker side of the world of online gaming, and covers some of the more common scams and how to avoid them.
Chapter 7, Pricing, Equipment, and Levels... covers issues such as choosing the right gear for your level, finding people to buy your goods in bulk, and deciding what to spend your money on.
