Runescape Merching/Flipping Guide.

Hello Instructables,

This is Excellion from Runescape. I'm here today to tell you how I made my current 50m. (Edit: It's 80M now!)

About 5 years ago when the free trade and wilderness were vanquished from the game, many people thought merching was impossible.

Many people found out that it wasn't, and it was more like real world stocks.

Also, if you understand real world stocks, this guide will be very simple for you.

This is updated for the new free trade.
 

Step 1 Finding the Item

Step one:

Finding your preferred item

Item Guide:


0.2m-1m: Lobsters, Coal Ore, Swordfish,  Iron Bars

2m-5m:Rune platelegs, Rune Scimitars, Rune Platebody's, Death Runes

10m+: Bandos Boots (My prefered), Dragon Boots, Berserker Helms, Dragon chainbody.

If you do not want to do any of these items, just check the Grand Exchange Guide page on www.Runescape.com and look for commonly purchased items. Make sure your item's price isn't dying.

(Thanks Kelsey >.>)

seriously? how long have you been playing? firstly, free trade and wilderness were removed in 2007, and are now back. also, advertising your i'ble is not cool. let people find it themselves.

2011 - 2007 = 4. I said about 5 years ago. I have played for 8 years this summer. How is it advertising? I just said "Hey this is better money making than this, try it out!" Its not like im benefiting from it anyway. Most people don't understand how to merch anyways so I thought I would make it look simple enough for a quick read. Don't sit here and tell me what im doing isn't cool.

Hmmm. During English class, perhaps? Pity you weren't paying attention to the "how to write" lesson.

[JagexLTD]

Only one writing error so I dont see what your getting at.

[kelseymh]

"Im" -> "I'm" or "I am"
"was" -> "were"
"boughten" is not a word
"items" -> "item's"
"isnt" -> "isn't"

And those are only the intro and first step.

[JagexLTD]

Hi,

I looked into "boughten" and it is infact a word.

http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/boughten

Just thought I would let you know.

Have a good day :D

[JagexLTD]

Update: Boughten changed to Purchased.

But I really dont care for the others. Its not like the whole internet isn't iliterate.

[kelseymh]

That's certainly your choice, but then you don't get to claim your writing is fine when the errors are pointed out. And when you start trying to communicate with adults, you're going to look both illiterate and ignorant. Just something to think about for the future.

[JagexLTD]

Errors fixed. Most adults I speak with on the internet are illiterate, and rather immature over ignorant.

[kelseymh]

Sorry, I was referring to real-world adults. Teachers, professors, potential employers. How you communicate, and whether you choose to exercise care in preparing that communication, reflects on how those people judge your potential abilities, before they get to know you in detail.

[JagexLTD]

I don't type the same as I write with a pen/pencil. Was this I'ble useful to you?

[kelseymh]

It was interesting, but some of the logic didn't make much sense. I will post a separate (top-level) question about that.

[JagexLTD]

Please tell me how It didnt make sense so I can improve on my posting.

[kelseymh]

Sorry, I thought I did. Please see my top-level question directly below this, dated Mar 18, 2011, 3:18 PM.

[JagexLTD]

Directly Below what?

[kelseymh]

Directly below the text that you are reading right this very minute.

[kelseymh]

I'm confused about this. The logic of "buy high and sell low" doesn't seem to make sense. You'd be consistently losing money on every transaction.

Or are you doing this with just one single item of whatever it is, so that you can determine what the "market prices" are, before selling large numbers at the high price?

[JagexLTD]

no item ever sells for low. Selling it for low is a way to get the lowest price people would buy the item. And yes. You do this with one item. You dont lose money. most of the time your merch goes for selling higher than lowest. If you follow that guide, you won't lose money.

[kelseymh]

Okay. That sort of makes sense, but really, the way you wrote it is not clear at all. Thanks for the clarification.
