Runescape: Market - Buying/Selling

Knowing how and when to market an item is important. Read this guide if you like to make money without having to lvl up a trade skill or chance loosing ur armor when you go out to PK someone.

Glossary

1. Rune Ess

2. Big Bones

3. Store Trading

Ok first tip. Know what you want to buy/sell and how much its worth. Here are some things that are very usefull and easy to buy/sell and help boost a new players money reserves.


1. Rune Ess - These can only be mined once you have completed the rune mysteries quest. Once completing the quest you will be able to teleport to the Ess world from either the wizzard tower, varrock south of east bank or somewhere in fally I don't know where that is. Rune Ess can be mined at lvl1 and dont take very long. A dedicated person can mine over 2k per half our but this is incredibally boring so try and do like 500 a day and then do whatever u like.

Rune Ess sell anywhere from 10-50gp ea. This may not seem like much but when you have mined 1,000 rune ess and you find somone willing to buy for 50ea then thats 50k withought lvling up any skill but mining. ( Rune Ess do not lvl up ur mining much so if you are focused on getting mining exp do it on other ores. ) This does take some time and the rewards are pretty nice if you do it alot and any player can do this lvl 3 - whatever lvl u are.

2. Big Bones - Big bones are usually aquired at the cave east of barb village from the lvl 28 hill giants dwelling there. A Key is required to get in the door to the entrance of the cave and can be aquired by killing someone with it, finding someone who dropped one, or buying one from another player. Sometimes the general store will have it but only idiots will sell a key for a low price when new players want them. If you wish to find the key yourself go to the ladder by the yew trees in edgville and walk until just before the hill giants section and their is a room that diverts off to the east. The key is there and is respawning so you can get it mutiple times and hand them out to friends. ( or noobs and watch them die and take their stuff lol ) Big bones can be sold from about 150ea to 350-400ea. So as you can see it is very nice if you are any good at killing a lvl 28 hill giant. *P.S. Bring some food this things hit hard. You may also find some nice items being dropped. Yesterday i got an uncut dimond, but mostely they will drop iron items and limpwort roots. ( used in str pots )

3. Store Trading( example ) Arrows. One thing that is reletively fast is looking in Lowes archery store ( or any other store for that matter ) and finding a type of arrow that is low. I.E. Say the store only has 1 addy arrow left and you can sell for like 200 ea to this store. Go to another world that has like 1000 addy arrows and buy for like 80 ea then go sell for a 20 ea profit. This is very hard to do and takes a long time. I only suggest you do it if you are desprate for money.

Ok one last thing. I suggest that you keep a reserve of money. Like 10k or something that you set that you will never use unless you are out of money and want to make more again. Example. You are pked and lose everything you have. Go to bank and withdraw the 10k you kept and buy ess 20 ea. Go to world 1 and sell for as high as you can ( 40-50 ea ) and repeat the process until you have as much money that you need and keep a reserve again.

Runescape: Wood Cutting Guide

Normal Logs - Wood Cutting Level Needed: 1 - 25 Experience Each

Well, at first, you might be wondering where to get a acceptable wood cutting axe at. Since you start off in lumbridge, there is a Axe Shop just south east of the castle. You should see an axe on the minimap over a house. This is where the shop is. Talk to bob and get your first axe. If you do not have enough money for a good one, try killing some goblins. You should get enough to buy one after 10 minutes or so. After you get your axe, just cut normal tree logs around lumbridge. You can make fires with the logs or if you are a member, you can fletch them with a knife.

Oak Logs - Wood Cutting Level Needed: 15 - 37.5 Experience Each

Now that you are starting to level up nicely, you can cut Oak Logs. Right north of the castle in lumbridge, you will see a general store, which should look like a pot of flour. Its not hard to find if you are roaming somewhere north of the castle. Anyways, right behind the general store are a couple oak trees wich is a good place to cut oaks.

Willow Logs - Wood Cutting Level Needed: 30 - 67.5 Experience Each

Willow logs will be really important to you later when you want to do some fast wood cutting experience. The best place to cut these would be in Daynor Village, which is right west of lumbridge. When you find the bank in Daynor, there are tons of Willows by the ocean.

Teak Logs (Members Only) - Wood Cutting Level Needed: 35 - 85 Experience Each

This is a type of logs that is probably the least common in Runescape. I wouldnt recommend cutting it for anything unless you want to. You can find these in Tai Bwo Wannai Villiage

Maple Logs (Members Only) - Wood Cutting Level Needed: 45 - 100 Experience Each

Maple Logs are a good new level for your fletching if you have the required fletching level since maple bows can sell pretty good. If you are bored with willows, then why not try these? The best place for these is in Seers' Village which is just North of East Adrougne.

Hollow Trees (Members Only) - Wood Cutting Level Needed: 45 - 100 Experience Each

These trees are important because mages will need these to make their splitbark armor. It might be fun to try these out. Oh, and by the way, you might want to have at least a Mith Axe by now for better cutting.

Mahogany Logs (Members Only) - Wood Cutting Level Needed: 50 - 125 Experience Each

Theres not really much to say about this kind of log. It just kinda looks like a oak tree.

Yew Logs - Wood Cutting Level Needed: 60 - 175 Experience Each

Ok, here is where you start raking in some good cash. By this time, you will need a Rune Axe. Im sorry, but if you dont, you might want to go find some ways to earn 20k for it. The best place to cut these i would have to say Edgeville, which is just north of Barbarian Village. This is the best it gets without the membership.

Magic Logs (Members Only) - Wood Cutting Level Needed: 75 - 250 Experience Each

Alright, if you are able to cut these, then you have pretty much done well with your wood cutting. Im so proud of you!! You make me shed tears of joy!! . I like to cut these by the Mage Arena just North of the Duel Arena in Al-Karid. When you get full load of these, stop by the duel arena bank if you didn't know that there was a bank there.

Well, that is my guide. I hope it helped you all and good luck in your future of runescape!!!

Runescape: Cut wood and make money

Introduction
So you think woodcutting is useless do you? Well you thought wrong! I made 300k towards my mask set in one day through woodcutting; admittedly it was a long and boring day, but 300k is a lot of money.
This guide will show you how to make money at the various levels of the skill. I will show you how to get to level 15 fastest (this is the level required to start making money from your woodcutting) and from there I will tell you how to gain woodcutting experience and a hefty profit at the same time.
This guide does not contain any methods which will get you fast xp, in fact it’s probably the slowest way of getting xp but it will make you the best profit in my opinion.

Starting Out: levels 1 - 15
First off, grab the best hatchet you can afford/wield and head over to Draynor. Follow the path south from Draynor and on the east side of the path is our target. Many people will argue that Lumbridge swamp is best but here, the trees are nicely laid out and close to a bank if you plan to bank your logs.
Once your reach this area wield you hatchet and start chopping away. Once you have a full inventory you have 3 options; Bank you logs, burn your logs or drop your logs. If you want quick woodcutting Xp then I strongly suggest you bank the logs as the other 2 methods will most likely take more time than running to the bank. The map shows the best route to the bank and remember, sticks to the paths as you travel faster on the paths (apparently).


Small Time Money Maker: Levels 15 – 30
At this stage you can now cut down oak trees. With the introduction of bank notes into Runescape oak logs are now a lot easier to trade.
P2P Location: Go to Seers village and just south of the bank are 2 oak trees with only once space in-between them. This is where you will make your money. Stand between the two oak trees and chop away. Once your inventory is full deposit the logs and start the cycle again.

F2P Location: Head to Falador east bank and withdraw your hatchet and nothing else. Head out the bank and south down the path. Once you get out the gates head south-west and you should find 2 oak trees relatively close to each other. I haven’t ever seen these crowded so you should do quite well from chopping these trees.

You should be able to bank 350 logs in an hour if you really concentrate. Once you have a good number of logs withdraw them as bank notes and sell them to fletchers/fire makers. These two kinds of people will pay for the experience they can gain from your logs!
Selling price: 50 – 100gp per log


Profit maker: levels 30 - 45
Congratulations as now you can start making a decent profit as oak was getting slow wasn’t it? Your target? Willow trees!
P2P Location: North and slightly west of Seers village bank is 3 willow trees in a triangle formation. This is where you are going to be working for the next few hours. Chop them in any order you like as it won’t make any difference. There are 2 more willow trees directly south of the bank if there is a lot of competition for the triangle. Keep chopping one tree until it is exhausted before you move on to the next tree and this way you will cut logs faster.

F2P Location: Head to Draynor bank and go west out of the doors and then straight down south. Just south of the bank are 4 (yes 4!) willow trees. These can be crowded at times but is still the best spot for F2P willow cutting! ** Sadly you F2Pers will have to stick to willow cutting until level 60 as you cannot cut maple trees.

Same routine as before just chop until your inventory is full and then bank and repeat. You should be able to bank 300 logs per hour or 250 if you’re slack! As your level gets closer to the 45 mark you will find that will be able to cut more and more logs per hour and therefore a faster profit. There are 2 more willow trees directly south of the bank if there is a lot of competition for the triangle. Keep chopping one tree until it is exhausted before you move on to the next tree and this way you will cut logs faster. Stay with willow until you reach level 45 or 60 if you are F2P.
Selling price: 100 – 200gp per log


Getting Serious: 45 – 60
With a woodcut level of 45+ all you need is dedication and you can make some decent money. The demand for maple logs is reasonable and the prices are good. The trouble with maple trees is that there isn’t a nice triangle of anything like that. Maple trees are dotted about Seer’s village. The one I would recommend using is on the north side of the bank as it is the closest to the bank. Same routine as before, chop a full inventory and then bank the lot and repeat. At this level it will be getting slow but the profit per hour of maple trees will still be higher than the rest. You should be banking 250 logs per hour if you’re going at a comfortable rate. You cannot afford to be fighting for a tree at this stage as maple trees are too sparse. If a spot is taken, move to a different location or a different world as it will be much faster in the long run. Keep at it as the next stage provides some awesome profit!
Selling price: 200 – 300gp per log


Rich now aren’t ya’: levels 60 – 75
At this level the cash will start flowing in. Yew trees are your new target and you will be happy to know that these trees are both P2P and F2P.
P2P Location: There is a slightly different location I want you to head to this time. Go west from the bank along the path and you should notice a church, well in its graveyard are several yew trees. These trees are barely ever too crowded so you should be able to work with out much disturbance. Cut 28 logs and then bank them by using the path to the bank. Try to run all the time for this route as we don’t want to waste any time unnecessarily.

F2P Location: Head over to Edgeville bank and head west out of the entrance and then south to a small garden. Inside this garden are 2 yew trees. There are many yew trees dotted about F2P but these are the two closest to a bank and therefore more convenient to you!

This is the best level to make a profit from due to yew logs being in high demand from fletchers. You may be able to cut 200 logs per hour at the graveyard/garden but don’t worry that’s still a profit of 100 – 150k per hour!
Selling price: 500 – 750gp per log


Rolling in it: levels 75+
So you’ve done it… your now an elite woodcutter and can make a huge profit from your skills! Magic logs can be annoying to shift though. The reason for this is that few people have a fletching level which is high enough to fletch magic bows so there is less demand but the fact that you can fetch up to 10x more per magic log should make up for that!. If you want to make money via magic logs then head to the Gnome Tree Stronghold. Head through the main entrance and on the west side of the path should be a magic tree located next to the bank ladder (how convenient!). Simply chop the tree and then go up the ladder to the gnome bank, bank your logs and start over. You should be cutting 100 – 150 logs per hour at the 75 mark.
Selling price: 5,000gp per log

Statistics


The Trees


Tips
Never wear any fancy clothes or items then will increase your weight once you cut maple trees or higher. Due to the trees being further from a bank you will need to conserve all the energy you can! Also if your P2P and have completed the temple of Ikov quest then always wear your boots of lightfootedness for that extra long lasting feeling!
If a random event occurs then don’t carry on woodcutting! If it’s a spirit then run away, a swarm then run, you axe head fell off then find it and reattach and if it’s a tangle vine then for heavens sake don’t move!
Always sell your logs in notes. It’s far more convenient for both you and the buyer
The best places to sell your logs are on the most crowded serves at either Seers bank or Falador eastern bank.
