Profit = 72000-19000 | Skill = 30

Item = Tinderbox | Quest = None | Other = None | Other Benefits = 90,000 experience

Inputs = 1,000 x Willow logs (19,000) | Outputs = 1,000 x Ashes (72,000) | Location = Any place that provides a long strip of land near a bank (e.g. Grand Exchange, Varrock West Bank, Seers' Village, Falador East Bank, Duel Arena, or Piscatoris Fishing Colony) | Category = Collecting | Members = No | Details = Ashes are the result of a burned out fire, and they are used in Herblore to make Serum 207 potions. Since ashes are worth 72 coins each, collecting them after Firemaking can be a good way to make money in free-to-play as well as gaining significant Firemaking experience. Willow logs (19 each) are the cheapest, but maple logs (9 each) can sometimes be used to increase the experience per hour but are not always profitable. The best location to make fires is somewhere near a bank with few other players nearby.
Withdraw 27 logs, start at the east end of the area, and make one long line of fires. Withdraw another 27 logs and make a second line the same way. By the time you're finished, the first line of fires should have mostly burned out, leaving ashes in their place. At this point, withdraw 27 more logs and run to the beginning of your original line of fires. Click first to collect the ashes, and quickly light a fire. If you have done this correctly and quickly, your character will not hesitate and immediately light a fire. Continue this down the entire line, until you reach the end and you should have 27 ashes in your inventory. Bank the ashes and do the exact same thing with the second line of fires. Do this repeatedly, making fires over the old lines and picking up ashes. In general, ashes will disappear about three minutes after the fire goes out, so you have a decent amount of time to pick them up. |

|
Item = Silver sickle (b) or equivalent |
Quest = Priest in Peril |
Other = Completed the hard Morytania Diary (strongly recommended) |
Other Benefits = None | Inputs = 10 x Prayer potion (4) (100,560) |
Outputs = 1500 x Mort myre fungi (790,500) | Location = Mort Myre Swamp | Category = Collecting | Details =   The ideal spot to cast Bloom. WARNING: There is a small risk of dying for lower level players. Ghasts do not hit very hard, but the damage does add up over time. Collecting Mort myre fungi is very profitable as it is the secondary ingredient for making Super energy potions. As long as players have completed the Hard Morytania Diary, they will receive double the amount of fungi when collecting (Morytania legs 3/4 do not have to be worn). However, make sure there are at least two inventory spaces when collecting; otherwise, players will only receive one fungus. Casting Bloom affects rotting objects in the eight squares around the player and consumes between 1 and 6 Prayer points. Players should use a location surrounded by three rotting logs to increase the chances of obtaining mort myre fungus. Inventory setup should include a 4-dose Prayer potion. Each prayer potion dose will recover prayer points instantly. Players with lower Prayer levels may need to bring more than one prayer potion. First, use the fairy ring network to teleport to bkr. Run west until you see three rotting logs. Stand in the middle of the three rotting logs and cast Bloom. Mort myre fungi will not spawn every time. Always pick the northern log last because when picked, you will return to the middle, removing the need to click back. After a full inventory, use the fairy ring to bank in Zanaris and repeat. If you have less than half prayer points after banking, drink a dose of a prayer potion. Another method involves utilizing the Nature Grotto, therefore not requiring prayer potions. Use bip to travel to a small island next to the swamp, and jump across the nearby agility shortcut, requiring 50 agility. Once in the swamp, run north to find two logs forming an "L" shape. Cast bloom here, a pray at the Grotto nearby every now and then to recharge. Lastly, travel back to the island and take dkr to bank at the Grand Exchange. Additionally, players who have completed Desert Treasure and own a player-owned house with both a Kharyrll portal and chapel (66 Magic and 50 Construction) can greatly increase their profit margin. Simply, do the above, but use house tabs to replenish Prayer at the chapel, and return via the portal room. At 85 Construction, you can collect over 1,100 fungi, and the following method should be implemented. First, use the fairy ring network to teleport to bkr. Run west until you see three rotting logs. Stand in the middle of the three rotting logs and cast Bloom. Mort myre fungi will not spawn every time. Always pick the northern log last because when picked, you will return to the middle, removing the need to click back. After a full inventory, use a ring of dueling teleport to Castle Wars to bank, then teleport to house, use your chapel or rejuvenation pool to gain Prayer back, and then use the fairy ring bkr and repeat. |

From either of the two available East Ardougne banks, make your way to the 1st floor[?] of Ardougne Castle. Pick the lock on the southernmost door to enter a room containing a black scimitar. Pick it up, and switch worlds. Pick the next black scimitar up, and keep repeating this process until your inventory is full. Then, use an Ardougne teleport tablet to teleport to Ardougne Market. From there, head to the nearest bank. Bank your items, and repeat. Optionally, if you have 72 Thieving, you can open King Lathas Chest which will automatically teleport you fairly close to the same bank. This eliminates the need for bringing your own teleports.
