Easy ways to make money for kids

New Members P2P Guide Introduction

Congratulations on getting a RuneScape membership! Pay to Play (P2P) offers a huge new universe for members to explore, including tons of cities, dungeons, monsters, skills, quests, money-making, and more!

This guide will discuss some new travel possibilities, recommend some quests that are helpful to new members, address starting each of the new member skills available (Agility, Construction, Farming, Fletching, Herblore, Hunter, Slayer, Summoning and Thieving), and discuss other member features encountered while becoming acquainted with the wider domain of RuneScape P2P.

If you are new to the world of RuneScape in general, you may also want to look at Tip.It’s Beginners’ Guide, which contains basic information that applies to both Free To Play (F2P) and P2P.

When reviewing the many helpful Tip.It guides, be reminded: as a member, the “shaded” members items in tables are available to you!

Return to Top Getting Around and New Areas to Explore

The RuneScape P2P surface land is many times larger than Free to Play (F2P): see Tip.It’s interactive World Map. New members may want to keep a map handy for quick reference while becoming familiar with new areas.

Enchanted jewellery transports are a significant member advantage. The Getting Around Guide lists the various methods of transportation available in Runescape, most of which are exclusive to members, though some transportation methods such as Gnome gliders, Spirit trees, Fairy rings, Balloons and many others have quest requirements.

An early issue confronting new members is “How do I get to the member areas?” On Karamja, just walk west to the Brimhaven gate. Then you can head north and pay 30 gp to take the ship to Ardougne, home of the Market Square thieving area.

From Falador, just walk west of Doric’s house to pass through the member gate into Taverly.

From the Crafting Guild southwest of Falador, walk north through the member gate next to the Makeover Mage to head towards Taverly (past the famous “Members’” Dungeon).

Alternatively, from Varrock fountain walk North-East, through the member gate near the lumber mill.

The Fishing Contest quest will allow you to bypass climbing over White Wolf Mountain (with its’ many hostile level 30+ wolves) when travelling between Taverly and Catherby.

The Priest in Peril quest unlocks the Morytania region (east of Varrock).

The Death Plateau quest unlocks the Troll Stronghold area north of Burthorpe.

The Lost City quest unlocks the fairy city of Zanaris, home of the Cosmic runecrafting altar.

Starting the Giant Dwarf quest unlocks Keldagrim, underground home of the dwarves.

Starting the In Aid of the Myreque quest unlocks Burgh de Rott, a city in Morytania.

The Regicide quest unlocks the elven land of Tirannwn, but it’s a higher-level quest: the fourth in a series which starts with the Plague City quest.

Return to Top Skills

The members-only skills are Agility, Construction, Farming, Fletching, Herblore, Hunter, Slayer, Summoning and Thieving.

To start training Agility, go to the Tree Gnome Stronghold Agility course. Agility is helpful for short cuts which get you around faster, and in numerous quests. With increased Agility, you also have more energy so you can run longer (good for getting places, and an advantage in the Wilderness!) Run energy is discussed in the Getting Around Guide. You can improve your run energy by getting some boots of lightness from the Temple of Ikov north of the Ardougne farming patches (the quest is not required) – simply take a lit candle and a slashing weapon (such as a dagger or sword) into the temple, then go west and down the stairs. Slash the web in front of the only red dot in the room, and grab several pairs of the boots to keep backups.

To start training the long-awaited Construction skill, go to an Estate Agent office in Varrock, Falador, Seers’ Village, or East Ardougne (locations shown in guide). Purchase a house for 1K, and follow the Construction Guide Beginner’s Walkthrough for step by step instructions to achieve level 5. Use Tip.It’s handy, unique and sortable Construction Table to learn what you can build at each level, including the materials and other requirements for each item.

To start Farming, you need some potato seeds. Go to Draynor Village market square and buy some seeds from Olivia’s stall (or steal them if your Thieving is 10 or higher). Then go northwest to the farm located north of Port Sarim’s bar, just southeast of Falador. Inside you can buy most of the Farming equipment you will need (a Seed dibber, a Rake, and a Watering can) for very little money (less than 100 gp). Fill your Watering can at the Sink or Rain barrel. Proceed north outside and hop the stile to the farming patch, then follow the instructions in Tip.It’s Farming guide to plant your first crop.

Fletching isn’t hard to begin – just get a regular Knife and some Logs and use the Knife on the Logs. To make Bowstrings, pick Flax (small plants with blue flowers) located in a field south of the Courthouse in Seers’ Village. Use the Flax on the Spinning Wheel upstairs in the house just north of the church. Spinning Wheel locations are marked on Tip.It’s 1.4MB interactive World Map. For a personal touch, visit the Ranged tutor in Lumbridge (just north of the castle, south of the general store) – she can also advise members about fletching.

Herblore is unlocked by completing the Druidic Ritual quest. Herblore is a key part of both the Hero’s quest and the Legends quest, so start using those Guams and Marrentills (frequently dropped by Al Kharid warriors) right away!

Start Hunter by visiting a Hunting shop, either in Yanille (just east of the pub) or in Nardah. Purchase a noose wand, then track kebbits at the very north end of the snow hunting grounds northeast of Rellekka. Alternatively, buy 1-3 bird snares and head south of Feldip Hills to the Jungle hunting area beach, where you can catch Crimson Swifts. Hunting experts in both of these regions can explain more about the skill.

The Slayer skill is begun by visiting a Slayer Master to get an assignment. The easiest one is Turael in Burthorpe (north of Taverly), in the first house on the east side of town. See the Slayer skill guide for further info. Consult Tip.It’s Bestiary to get detailed information on any monster.

To start Thieving, pickpocket Men (level 2) and Women (level 2) until your Thieving reaches 5 or 10. Then you’ll want to travel to Ardougne market square, the RS thieving mecca. See the Thieving skill guide.

To start the Summoning skill complete the Wolf Whistle quest. Everything you need to know about the skill is explained in the quest, and any other information can be found in the Summoning guide.

All F2P skills have portions that are members-only. To learn about these added member techniques, check any of Tip.It’s Skill Guides and look for sections marked “members only”, items marked with an asterisk *, or for table rows highlighted in grey. For example, member Crafting includes the art of glassblowing, to create various useful glass items and earn crafting xp. New members may want to sail from Port Sarim to Entrana (don’t bring any weapons or stat-boosting gear) to learn about this from Fritz the Glassblower. Other members-only Crafting abilities include making dragonhide and snakeskin armour, spinning flax into bowstrings, making battlestaves, and more.

Return to Top Beware

Things for members to watch out for include poisoning, disease, desert effect, and of course the Wilderness.

While touring Karamja and some dungeons, be aware that as a member you can get poisoned by certain monsters such as some spiders and Karamjan Tribesmen. Regular poison starts by doing 40 LP damage each time it hits you (shown as a green “splat”), and takes a while to wear off – lower level members won’t survive it without Antipoison potions. See the Herblore Guide Poisoning section.

Those who venture into the Zogre Tomb (home of the Zogre Flesh Eaters Quest) may get diseased. Also when you’re fighting Fever Spiders during or after the Rum Deal Quest without slayer gloves, which you can get from any slayer master, there is a chance that you will get diseased. If you are diseased you will be hit by a numbered orange “splat”. The number will be subtracted from a random skill. Relicym’s Balm will cure disease, but does not restore your stats. Refer to the Herblore Guide for more information on making Relicym’s Balm.

You can also die of the “desert effect” in the Kharidian desert south of Al Kharid (through Shantay Pass, where you will be warned). Take precautions when going there: wear desert robes, carry waterskins, and use a Knife to cut Kharidian cactus to replenish your water supplies.

The Wilderness is just as lethal in P2P as it is in F2P. If you’re new to Runescape, be aware that dying in the Wilderness or elsewhere deprives you of all but the three most valuable (store price) items you are carrying or wearing. If you have entered the Abyss in the Wilderness, you get a “skull” floating above your head, and dying will deprive you of ALL of your items. This also occurs during bouts of Bounty Hunter, which is just as dangerous as in the free version. High level and P2P Wilderness areas also do not allow players to teleport out (not even Ring of Life or other enchanted jewellery teleports), so keep these dangers in mind. East Ardougne (west of the palace) has a “teleport lever” that transports you to the highest-level, exclusively members-only Wilderness area. Our 1.2MB Wilderness Map shows this area’s features, which include an Agility course and the Mage Arena miniquest. In addition, there are a few members only revenants along with the usual free version types roaming the wilderness. Be wary!

Return to Top Weapons

A wide range of exotic weaponry is available to members, with new ones being added all the time.

Although Dragon weapons have in many cases been outclassed by newer weapons, the more powerful weapons require large amounts of cash or very high skill levels to obtain (80+). Dragon weapons offer excellent benefits and are within financial reach of most rune-armoured players, although they do require 60 Attack to wield. They offer a nice bonus for training Strength. They can be purchased from other players; most are also available from a shop after finishing a quest. You may not be able to wield some of them without the related quest. See the Dragon weapons section of the Combat guide.

The Combat guide also has detailed information on the more expensive and rare weapons available to members.

Return to Top Guilds

There are six members-only Guilds. Like the F2P guilds, each has certain entrance requirements. The name of each guild in the table below is linked to the related guild guide containing detailed information.

Member Guilds Guild Skill Required Location Features Fishing 68 North of Ardougne Bank, shop, all fishing Hero’s Hero’s quest North of Taverly Amulet of Glory recharge fountain, dragon weapon shop, mining, caged Blue dragon Legend’s Legend’s quest Northeast of Ardougne Bank, shops, Shadow warrior dungeon Magic 66 Yanille Rune shop, training dungeon, teleports to other wizard towers, bank nearby Range 40 Southwest of Seers’ Village Several shops, archery game, practice towers Warriors’ 130 combined Attack and Strength West of Burthorpe Games room Bank, several shops and training areas Return to Top Minor money-making tips

There are many ways to make money as a member, but they may involve having high levels or already having some assets to invest. If you become a member at a lower level, you may be anxious to make some cash. In addition to the ways you already know (such as mining ore, merchandising, etc.), there are some low-level ways to make cash in P2P.

One is Pure essence mining (requires 30 Mining and competition of Rune Mysteries) – members also have three additional essence mine teleport locations (see the Runecrafting guide). Another method is picking Flax (no skill required), and/or spinning Flax into Bowstrings (10 Crafting required; described in Fletching skill mentioned above). Fletching itself is a third low-level cash source – players will buy feathers, arrow shafts, headless arrows and arrows. Collecting secondary ingredients for Herblore is another money-maker. Players will buy bulk amounts of unicorn horns, limpwurt roots, red spiders’ eggs, and snape grass. Again, check forums to determine current prices. Simply accumulating any necessary item in bulk can be a good way to make money: even something as ordinary as a vial can be saleable when you have 100 or 1000 of them for sale. The same principle also applies for the Summoning skill – secondary items for creating pouches such as honeycombs, bagged plants, and marigolds are in high demand and players wishing to train summoning quickly will pay high amounts for them. As with herblore, each summoning pouch made requires a secondary item, so vast quantities of these are exchanged every day. Check our Marketplace forums to learn more about current prices.

A fifth method for obtaining quick runes (or possibly cash) is “essence running”. This activity supports higher level runecrafters who want to train but don’t want to keep running to the bank for more essence – a hungry player can fill this gap. Show up at the altar with a full pack of the appropriate essence (regular for 6 basic runes, pure essence for member-crafted runes) and receive payment (runes and/or cash and/or matching noted essence) in return. Then run to the bank, change noted essence into essence (depositing your cash and/or runes), and repeat as many times as desired. The best way to find a running world is to check the major activity of the world on the server select screen. If you don’t yet have level 30 Mining (to get pure essence), you can try taking regular essence to the F2P air running world.

One of the best methods to make a high amount of profit for new P2P members are killing monsters that drop herbs commonly. Many members choose to buy herbs to train the Herblore skill, so herbs are always in high demand. One of the best low-level herb droppers are Chaos Druids. They are extremely easy to kill and very profitable. Another monster that often drops herbs are Flesh Crawlers.

If you are not yet comfortable enough in Runescape to try any of the above ideas, a far smaller (and smaller-paying!) job is available. Talk to the Wise Old Man, who lives just north of the bank in Draynor Village. Although he has a shady past, he has two things to offer: (1) he will look at your bank and tell you which F2P quest items you can safely throw out, and (2) he will hire you to run errands, in return for very small amounts of coins or experience. The tasks involve basic things like mining copper ore or baking bread. A former F2Per won’t want to bother, but someone who is entirely new to Runescape might want to try it.

Return to Top Exciting stuff

A fun new experience will be the first time you kill an enemy and it drops a Clue scroll. This is a random occurrence from certain enemies, but following your Treasure Trail may lead you to unexpected riches! See the Treasure Trails guide for all the information you’ll need.

Most of Runescape’s Activities are members only; look through Tip.It’s Activity Guides to learn more about each one.

As a member, Al-Kharid’s duel arena is expanded even more. You can enter yourself in Duel Tournaments, against up to 63 other players, for a chance to win up to 64 million coins. As in regular duels, no items are lost excluding your stake.

Some fighting Activities, like Castle Wars, Pest Control, Stealing Creation and Soul Wars also allow you to enjoy the benefits of combat without risk. If you die, you are completely healed and retain all of your items.

But other fighting Activities, such as Barrows and Mage Arena, are genuinely hazardous and are played for keeps.

Non-combat Activities also abound. After getting a Kitten in the Gertrudes’ Cat quest, you can find information on raising it to a Cat or Overgrown Cat in the Pet Care guide. Playing Gnome Ball, exploring Gnome Cuisine, or pursuing the Bar Crawl are likewise diverting.

Runescape Member’s have access to many times the amount of quests that free players can complete. From killing enemies as high levelled as Corporeal Beast(Level 785) or Nezikchened, to exploring the Elven Lands to the far west, dodging poison tripwires and leaf traps, or even something as simple as finding a lost cat, Member’s have access to a far wider range of both easy and hard quests. View our Quest Database to learn more.

Many Runescape players enjoy doing activities with friends or teammates. These can vary from simply training or doing quests together, doing Activities such as Barbarian Assault, Trouble Brewing or Castle Wars together or as a team, or fighting boss monsters. The latter often requires high skill levels (80 or 90+, often) but usually offers great rewards and thrills. Our Monster Hunting guides mention many of these. We recommend you experience other aspects of the game before attempting these in order to familiarize yourself with it, as boss monsters are very hazardous to fight, and you will lose all but three of your items should you die.

Return to Top Worlds

Tip.It’s Official worlds are 7 (F2P) and 99 (P2P) – using these worlds will increase the chances of seeing another Tip.It forum user in-game (feel free to shout, “HYT!” meaning, “Hey You Tip.Iter!” to folks you recognize).

On the most populous member world (2), The Grand Exchange world hot-spot, where you would find all the merchanters and “junk-tradersâ€, if world two is full. You can always trade on the Grand Exchange itself on a different world.

The worlds listed below are subject to change. Jagex’s world select screen lists these and more activities next to some worlds, making it easier to find a group of players doing the same thing. Most of these worlds are optional – that is, you can do your activity on any world you like, you are not limited to the worlds listed.

However, Jagex has tied some activities to specific servers: Bounty Hunter, Duel Tournaments, Party Room, Player vs Player, and LootShare. You must use a specified server for these activities.

This decision is a personal one, and is sometimes hotly debated on Runescape fansite forums. The universal answer is whenever you can. A few people suggest waiting until you have very high skill levels. Others suggest finishing most of the F2P quests first to build up a respectable skill level. However, many people are confident that you can enjoy being a member at ANY level. It’s believed easier to level up as a member, and the many novice-level member quests help considerably. Substantial P2P bank space is also a factor. Being a member provides access to many cool items and skills to make your lower levels more colourful and fun. “Whenever you can talk your family into paying for it” is the most frequent solution!

Return to Top Conclusion

As you increase in skills, or work through the Easy and Medium level member Quests, you will eventually become familiar with all of the new areas of RS you can enjoy as a member.

Methods on How To Make Fast Money In Runescape Guide If you’ve just started playing Runescape and want to know how to get along making

millions like the players who are at the top, but you’re struggling; don’t worry;

this article was design to gives you the knowledge of some of top Runescape money

making methods.

The most common money making methods in Runescape Making money in Runescape is just like in real life, and whilst you make think this

stupid at first, it will make sense in the long run; you need money to make money.

This phrase is a favourite of mine as I learnt it was true when I started making

millions myself. The following are the best ways to start off making money in

Runescape:

Killing Chickens Yes, it sounds stupid but you can make a quick few thousand gold pieces (gp) by

killing chickens. How is killing a chicken going to make you thousands? The killing

part actually isn’t going to make you money, only get you some experience, but it’s

the feathers that are dropped that you need to pick up to make the money.

You can sell feathers for 5-7 gp each on a free world or 10-12 gp on a member’s

world. A chicken will drop from 5 – 15 feathers each time you kill it. That works

out at 35 – 105 gp each kill on a free world or 50 – 180 gp on a member’s world.

It doesn’t take long to kill a chicken as it has such low hp (hitpoints).

Rune Essence If you have no money on Runescape then another of the quickest ways to make money is

to mine Rune Essence. Go south of Varrock East Bank to the Rune Shop, talk to Aubury

and choose to be teleported to the rune essence mine. Mine the rune essence and sell

each one for 25 – 30 gp each. If you mine 1000 rune essence you’ll be able to sell

it for 25 – 30 thousand gp.

Merchanting To Maximise Your Runescape Money Making The best way to maximise the money you make is using a method that I personally use a

lot; merchanting. What is merchanting? Merchanting is the art of buying items that

are cheap and then selling them for more than you bought it for.

The following is a list of some of the best items to merchant. (It is recommended for

you to become a member as it is easier to make more money more quickly).

Merchanting Big Bones A good way for non-members to expand and make more money is to buy and sell Giants’

big bones which are dropped when they are killed. You can either kill the Giants or

buy these bones for 275gp each and sell for 350-400 gp each.

Merchanting Nature Runes The lower amount of money you spend on each nature rune the more money you will make.

The prices I buy for are:

1-199 Natures for 230 each 200-499 Natures for 270 each 500+ Natures for 300 each Bought for 250 each and sold for 350 each:

Amount of Natures Bought Cost for 250gp each Profit when sold for 350 each 500 125,000gp 50,000gp 1000 250,000gp 100,000gp 10,000 2,500,000gp 1,000,000gp!!! Merchanting Unidentified Herbs You can make millions a day using this technique. You can easily buy unidentified

herbs (unids) for 1k each and then resell them for 2k each, but what you should do is

buy for 500 – 750 gp each and then selling for 2k each maximising your profit by

around 50%. For every 1k unids you buy and sell you can make a whopping 1 Million gp

profit, and that’s when you buy at 1k and sell at 2k.

Best Runescape Money Making Method The best money making is about taking chances which have a 99.999% of working in your

favour. You can make millions an hour by using this technique. Managing to buy a

usually high priced item for far cheaper will make you serious money. If you are a

member it is recommended to sell your goods on the official Runescape forums.

Here are some items that you can use to make you millions an hour:

Party Hats Halloween Masks Santa Hats
