How To Get The MOST Out Of Your Money In Runescape 

What was your worst purchase in Runescape?

the part you said about cutting yourself short is very true, I realized it myself some time ago that I'm purposely preventing myself from being able to do high lvl pvm

The way i see it, money is a highway with 3 different paths. 1- Things you NEED, like gear/weapon upgrades and PVM supplies. 2- Things you WANT, like the Aurora Dye or any Cosmetic Item. 3- Things that are nice to HAVE, like BIS weapons/armour, perks and all unlockables. With that picture in mind, the best way to spend money (not only in game but in general), is to find the balance between those 3 and giving priority to the things that are most important to purchase at the moment. Like new underwear instead a new 240Hz monitor :p Or in RS terms, Blightbound Xbows instead an Aurora Dye.

I had a cry about not being able to do AG HM because the core mechanic would kill me often. I bought gconc and literally never had a problem with that mechanic again. Really did open my eyes as to where most of your power is in your build.

You didn't mention Seed Bags.... Seed Bags can store 40 Seeds at max capacity, this means it will potentially save 40 Bank Spaces if you choose to have seeds which the average RS3 player does. I bought the components for a Seed Bag for around 30m in December 2022 as some components buy at well over the GE price but it's totally worth it especially when you factor in how much 50 Bank Slots cost which is literally 10 times that price in bonds. From the time of posting this, I slow bought Calcified Fungus for 10,000 each or 5m for a total of 500 needed It does take Level 85 Crafting to make it but even if you are saving a few Bank spaces or Inventory spaces, it's well worth it. Not gonna lie but this is easily a 100m+ item for Players that aren't into Bossing but come across Mobs that have Seed Drops, the other useful and underated Item is the Herb Bag. Just gonna add that you can "farm" all the components but I spent money to save on the time for doing that :P

Thank you great advice I always use math to determine how much I make per hour doing the bosses that I kill or whatever skill or whatever fighting I'm doing and calculate the cost of my combat supplies

My idea is this: I buy the cheapest upgrades first, then upgrades that don't cost money per hour to use, then upgrades that do cost money to use, in that priority order. That way I get upgrades faster, which helps my kills p/h faster than the other ones. Sure, EOF is great and all, but if you have other stuff to upgrade that don't cost as much per hour to use, that's probably going to help you more early on, and then save up for EOF when you're out of options to upgrade to that are cheaper to buy and use.

Is third age armour worth investing in

Very good guide on letting us know to get out of our comfort zones to use new and expensive gear XD I think that is totally me where I end up not doing some of the high level PVM bosses since I think the upkeep is too expensive! But I think I will listen to your advice and try it soon someday!

I just got my archeology to 95. So I need to focus on perks. I've grabbed gconc and I have t85 wand/orb, full virtus, full gano, kinda not sure what else to grab, I know greater chain has its uses but is it worth 1b? are seismics worth the upgrade right now, or should I hold for the inevitable crash? I feel a bit paralyzed by all the choices I have.

My buddy and I have been trying to do pvm. I'm definitely not ready for it been working on crafting skills to go to invention currently but great video kind of good to know that it's not the gear that's the problem. Like my prayer is at 37 I think. I just need to work out the details in skills and get those abilities that carry the raids.

I have supreme overloads, 99 summoning, 96 prayer with curses and t90 gear for almost all styles. But I don’t know shit about invention or Archeology. And I have 81 invention and 80 archeology. I also have like 60m to buy perks and stuff. Is the enough to start getting good perks?

What’s the lowest combat lvl one can PvM successfully? I’m still questing

Hello I'm new to RS3, I was wondering ppl are trading with friends for no return but when I try, system requires me to list items that is equally valued. Can you not gift friends for free anymore??

How can i farm 203m for greater concentrated blast? any tip? please :)

Investing in your account is very smart because if you ever get hacked, you at least still have your stats & abilities.

Never merched before until like 2 weeks ago I finally tried and im mad i didnt long ago lol. Started with 40 + a 40m drop so 80 and im at about 250m now and thats just merching Ive been pretty burnt out so Ive just been trying to save up for a t90 mage weap

I unlocked invention and sunspear on my ironman both last week. I feel I'm getting closer to bossing now

Look i have a really great example of this, on mainscape i have a max melee setup and obviously as a max player i got ovls, arch relics and summ familiars. Then i started my FSW journey and since i camped Arch Glacor on main so much i am very familiar with it. So on FSW i got myself superior vesta armor and stat helm, Sup vesta longsword and off hand elder rune longsword. Gear wise this is T88 on average. So Pretty good gear right? Well i tried a couple kills at AG hardmode with 0% enrage. And it took me about 7 minutes to get a kill, IF i even managed a kill because curses were not there, overlaods were not there i was boosting my stats with super sets, familiars were not there. My stats were 90 atk, 95 str and 90 defence and this setup did not work out at all even tho my gear was hella good! This just goes to show how important overloads and curses really are. On mainscape Arch Glacor is a joke for me up until atleast 500%, and after that if i focus a lil it's still a breeze.

His example of what is overkill at vindicta is actually what I use there, other than the vuln bombs,lol

Greater barge,flurry,fury, greater chain, magma tempest, grico, affliction and malevolence are all buys I regret. Hmm also elite tectonic and fsoa was a bad buy. Also going for actual bis perks was a bad idea. Basically I should have gotten just cryptbloom with bis perks on that set, seismic with bis perks on that, and just used that with gconc. I enjoy pvm,but most of my money comes from flipping and merching. And I should probably not have spent more than maybe 15% of my cash at any one time on pvm upgrades. Most of those upgrades I rarely use, and the money could have been used much better elsewhere.

I bought red santa hat for 230k that i earned by killing hill giants for big bones for months and sold it for 400k to finance full veracs set. And thats not the end of it. Then got scammed when seller changed veracs helm to skirt during trade. Helm was like 2m and skirt 400k. This was lile 15 years ago and still in my mind 😀

Most of these I would consider to be investments rather than expenses. The trick is to work out your best return on investment at any given time.

I’ve been slacking on invention. Absolutely hate archaeology. Only been playing for 8mo. Hi.I have maxed combat/prayer/summoning. Ranged does well with the respective bolts and ascensions. Melee is ok with soa and Zaros god sword. My mage really struggles even with the the staff of sliske. Animate dead is nice, but the dps is trash with melee and mage. Been thinking about the EOF next. I have elder overloads. Always keep those stocked up and other supplies. All the mazcab abilities. From this video it seems perks and relics are my bottle neck. I don’t even know what ancient invention is. Will look it up. I strictly solo via mobile. No clan or friends.

stocking up on skilling supplies also gets you ready for 2x exp

I still need to perk my gear, and I'm at 120 Invention 😳

If you're not going to want to ever pvm? Be the one making those potions/growing the herbs, etc, lol.

My now unused t99 range prayer and ecb eof 😅

dont play it and go work, that how you get the most money out of it xD

Dragon picks before mining and smiting:,(

For me it’s a new computer so I can actually pvm. I currently run like 5fps😂

Did you just assume I had GP? :(

Do not alchemy scrap metal, always disassemble it for components…

Thought u was purely OSRS 😮

GF should be no.1

oooooo

how to make the most of your money?its the same in real life, stop skilling and buying stuff and spending on commodities and raw materials, do things that increases and grows ur capital instead of draining and depleting ur resources......its even easier in video games to build a fortune and be part of the top 1 percent of the top 1 percent......u dont have to spend money on food,electricity,rent,miscellaneous and all the other annoying things people have to do to survive in the real world.....while ur in colledge or living with mom and dad make use of the opportunity while u can..... dont spend ur money on things that would set u back or slow u down when ur trying to build the smallest foundation. find pleasure in doing things that grow ur money and avoid things that suck it all away...........learn how to bot and script, trade and merch, study in game economics and pick up on concepts......learn how to use ur capital as leverage, diversify into multiple sources of income and scale in economies of scale.....learn more and more sophisticated things that can bring in vastly greater amounts of income....instead of mining gold ores for 2m/hr,why not end game boss for 50m/hr,instead of end game bossing why not trade and flip rares for hundreds of mils profit per trade?instead of flipping rares and expensive gear,why not learn to start ur bot and script on multiple pcs?instead of botting and scripting why not learn to play poker for rsgp for anywhere from 20m osrs up to 100m osrs an hr or more in profits? aka 1b rs3 an hour?i have never been afraid of being poor in virtual reality,my only fear is video game companies notice the tsunami sums of gold thats flowing in and out of my accounts and ban me. in fact why not multitask and leverage and do it all?bot and merch/flip at the same time and play poker and be the king of rwt and make more money than god? every great entrepreneur story starts out that way,once upon a time there was a 14 year old kid in his bedroom who dreamt of making a living through rmting or rwting in video games........the question is how far can u get? just think about it, even though i dont make the big bucks enough to sustain myself comfortably in a first world country by other people's standards, i go online and play some poker for a couple of hours and make $10,20,$30 maybe even $50 bucks or more........spend 15,30 minutes standing at g.e. updating my trades, checking ely.gg and ge tracker and admiring my bank for awhile, imaginary dusting my 34b santa nd mask collection,then i go onto my local version of craigs list, make a couple of gold selling/buying transactions and making a little profit margins at the same time......without barely doing any jackshyt, i got a nice little $20,$30 a day sitting in my cryptowallet which i dont even touch, which most likely i would use to supplement my stock index etfs portfolio or for my first real estate purchase or something....... i live off my min wage extremely part time job and chicken tenders and live in mom's basement.......

yeah sure man I'll just buy the 880m codex before I start bossing because I absolutely have that kind of money just sitting around before even hitting endgame
