Hey guys, been back playing for a few weeks now and just wondering if anyone had any tips for money making as a F2P? I’ve been crafting jewelry but it has been extremely slow. I gave away most of my stuff last time I quit as I thought I would never be back but here I am! Thanks in advance and have fun out there!

Also I have about 4 mil to work with here, saving is hard.

      Cool thanks Ill check it out, and yeah I’m trying to save for a bond! Haven’t played members since like 2011 on my OG account that is lost, and honestly it was overwhelming even then, cant even imagine how it is now.

        I totally get wanting to buy bonds with gold. But honestly, if you have the money irl. You should just buy membership with real money. Spending so much gold when you’re just starting again, just sets you back soo much from want you want to do ingame. And it can kinda suck all the joy out of it if you’re getting no progress.

        Also if you want to stay f2p for a bit, find some f2p discord community. They have so much information on what to do. I have litterly only played as members, so I have no clue on what to do in f2p

    Buying membership with ingame money was always a grind, and because bonds keep getting more expensive (RS also has inflation) while moneymaking methods stay put, it has gotten a lot worse than it was. Presumably it’ll keep getting less and less feasible.

    If you have any plans of ever going member, I’d just not bother grinding F2P as the best methods are still pretty bad. According to the wiki, best you can currently do is high alch random high value items (55 Magic, see alchmate) but the small cash stack means that could get clunky too.

    If you have Amazon prime, wait for them to give out a week of membership, then do herb run and birdhouse rubs to make money to afford bond. It will be a chore but it’s doable even with 1 farming and 1 hunter.
