Money Making on Runescape Using Farming

Making money in real life isn’t easy, but in any system where currency is involved there’s almost always going to be a rich and a poor.  The same is true in Runescape as it is in real life, and there are people that play Runescape that have insane amounts of money, not just a few billion gold but tens and hundreds of billions.  But as with any system of currency where there are a few mega rich there are almost certainly going to be a mega amount of poor people beneath them.  This couldn’t be truer in the game of Runescape.

Farming isn’t going to make you billions of gold, but if you do it right it will make you millions and if used properly in conjunction with other skills it’s bound to make you a tidy sum.  One of the great things about making money from farming is that it requires very little actual input.  You add compost to the spot, add the seeds and water if necessary – apart from that you leave it until it’s grown – that is unless you want to be constantly checking for disease which is unnecessary.

The great thing about it is that all you have to do is plant the seeds, and then go off and do something else for half an hour, now I’m not talking about going on a three hour bandos trip.  But if your last farming patch is in Catherby then why not go and fish or woodcut for half an hour?  There’s no point waiting around for things to grow, you maximize your money by maximizing your time.  Waiting for the grass to grow (or in this case your plants) isn’t what’s going to make you rich.

Adding in farming herbs to whatever you’re doing is a great money spinner because it hardly disrupts what you’re doing but allows you to receive a tidy profit.  Take killing green dragons for example, which I know is hardly stimulating, but at my combat level (134) allows me to make 800k per hour.  All I would have to do is lose around 150k of profit from killing green dragons (because I would be planting herbs) but then I’d easily gain 300-350k in that hour planting the right herbs.

Making money on Runescape using Farming is about planting herbs, there’s nothing else that’s going to make you a decent amount of money.  The best thing to do is to compare the prices of seeds to that of the herbs to find out which is going to give you the best returns on your investment.  From here, don’t spend your time waiting for them to grow, but add them into a schedule and you can increase your productivity as well as train a useful skill substantially!
