Skill subpages

Should we split the article into subpages for each skill, like how the Runescape Wiki had it previously? Bmanseven (talk) 00:00, March 30, 2014 (UTC)

I think we should split the article into subpages for each skill. Plus some of the guides are horrible. Normal logs are worth a decent amount and should never be sold to a general store. Quietus Xile (talk) 01:19, May 26, 2014 (UTC)

This method seems completely unavailable for usage.

Almost nobody buys/sells RAW summer pies. I tried buying 1 as a test for 10k! Nobody sold a single one.

perhaps if one cooked them and sold, but I haven't checked the profit for that.

This is definitely not a money making guide. Or at least a proper/finished one.

Just as a warning this method does NOT work. Raw wild pies sell for around 8-9k making them in some cases a loss to make, just letting others know so they don't waste mils on getting cooking up for nothing.82.3.215.36 17:43, February 5, 2016 (UTC)

Raw wild pies default price is 13k. However they only sell for 7.6k~9k.

How do you guys calculate how many tuna potatos you can do in an hour, because even with a bot its impossible to make this many (2000)??? I mean lets say it takes 200 sec to do invent, or even less 120, you cant make 666 000 in an hour, you'll make about 150k...

As of June 2 2016, Raw Wild Pie sells for 4720, the ingredients together cost 5235.

I'm guessing since the addition of the sawmill in the Woodcutting Guild this information is out of date. Anyone wanna calculate the new costs/profits using the Zeah sawmill? Should be better as no need for Willow logs or Rings of dueling.50.165.90.124 05:51, June 30, 2016 (UTC)

Grand exchange prices are inaccurate.. raw wild pies are currently traded at 4.7k, making this a net loss.

maybe add a section about collecting saltpetre? traded a lot and collected easily. 11:35, November 7, 2016 (UTC)ThaChillera

The actively traded price of cooked anchovies is almost three times the listed price rn, making this a money losing activity. I tested this yesterday with catching and cooking the anchovies and got these results.

I fished at Draynor Bank for 30 minutes with 70 fishing:

140 Raw Anchovies

197 Raw Shrimps

14k Fishing xp/hr

40k Total Profit

I bought the plain pizzas at 717 gp each and sold the anchovy pizzas for between 1000 and 1008 gp each for a profit of about 285 gp per pizza.

The flax thing should really be removed and replaced with spinning flax, nobody wants to pick flax anymore

THis is 100% wrong, check herblore skill guide. A super combat potion uses (4) super attack, strength, and defence potions, and you combine a torstol with the 3 already made potions (by itself, not in a vial of water) to make a super combat potion. Torstol potions are used to make zamorak brew, which as of 6/17/17 are 24.55gp per exp (you pay 5k and sell for 703gp, 4297gp loss for 175exp) whereas saradomin brews are 14.64gp per xp which is still very expensive, but 180exp per (best exp per potion made, besides the impractical weapon poison ++ which require spawn hopping for nightshades)

This page is cluttered by 'make xxx sapling'. Is it possible to combine all of them somehow? 85.148.93.156 19:47, July 5, 2017 (UTC)

This doesn't include cost of runes. I actually lost money using a trident here.50.24.127.13 01:25, July 15, 2017 (UTC)

How are you supposed to repeat the process if there's a buying limit for seeds? Sure, you could let them stock up, but that would me you would only get the 1700 seeds after 34 for hours (200 seeds every 4 hours). After 34 hours, you'd have to wait 34 hours again to repeat the process, just for 1700 seeds.

I don't know how to go about editing the table here, but wanted to note that grinding chocolate bars in a member's only option, not free-to-play. The pestle and mortar is a member's only item.

I may be doing the math wrong, but the smithing mithril bars at blast furnace page may be wrong. I got a profit of 938,736 gp, not the 400,000 something it shows.

Can someone remove the saplings methods, they are quite inacurate gp/hr wise, and saplings will almost never sell.

New location to kill Red Dragons

Hello,

This page needs to be updated with the new location of the Myth's Guild from Dragon Slayer 2. The basement in the guild has red dragons right under it and has the bank on the first floor (uk floor system). This increases gp per hour. Also, do not forget to add mythical cape to teleport to the guild right in front of the statue.  —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 2604:6000:8502:E6F0:C411:1EB1:1B08:B49E (talk) on 19:08, January 10, 2018 (UTC).

I've added for all the pages of chromatic dragons that they are found in the guild basement, but have not altered the GP/hour. -- Spine^Talk 19:16, January 10, 2018 (UTC)

The grand exchange price is wildly inaccurate. This method is a heavy loss. 

leave the bones selling for medium price ge and cant sell waiting 1 day, this thing is not profitable anymore, the profit is too low, almost nothing...

Money making / Skilling:

crafting gold bracelets by smelting gold bars with a furnace and a bracelet mould. exact profit per hour not known, needs to be tested. over 100% of input as additional profit given, gap between gold bar and gold bracelet actually over 120 gp (70 -> 195) per item. crafting 7 needed, members only.

i created a guide page for Bones To Bananas . i tested and confirmed the profits, and that the bananas sell well (they're in high demand as payment for farmers) please add it to the table as it seems i am unable to CoffeeMeowKat (talk) 02:54, February 16, 2018 (UTC)

There should be a vorkath moneymaking part added to the combat money making methods

Making headless arrows is out of date. Arrow shafts go for 1gp, Feathers go for 3, and headless arrows sell for 5.66.188.233.252 17:55, May 26, 2018 (UTC)

I think this page is due for a re-write, doesn't realy describe the variability in gp/hr based on level and equipment used, like rouge's, dodgy necklaces, diary completion, and gloves of silence. Might be best to wait til the nerf though, maybe combine the changes.
