Making Money Collecting Wines of Zammorack (f2p)

One of the best ways to make money for runescape players in free-to-play (f2p) worlds, is collecting wines of zammorack. These wines are in high demand for making various potions on p2p worlds. Their current grand exchange price is 2'100gp each but it usually varies between 1500gp and 2400gp.

So how much money can you expect making per hour?
A: From 100k up to 250k an hour depending on current item price, if the place is crowded and your combat stats

Requirements: Have at least 33 magic OR moderate combat stats to attack monks with (19 prayer for rapid restore is also recommended)

Where: Wines of zammorack are located in a temple on the westernmost side of the wilderness, just a few squares under level 0 wild. This is just west of goblin village, west of edgeville and north west of falador.

You have two options on how to collect the wines of zammorack.

1) The first and by far most popular way is to cast the telekenetic grab spell (33 magic required). Each spell requires 1 law rune and 1 air rune (bring an air staff to save up runes). The downside of this method is that there might be others competing for the wine and sometimes bots that are usually much faster than you to cast the spell. Luckily though, there's a solution for this, read the second method;

2) The second way is to just get the wine bare handed from the table. For this to be possible, all the monks within the house need to be killed. Otherwise the game engine will not let you take the wine. If you are using this method, bring your very best armor and weapons.

Obstacle: When fighting the monks, they will sometimes temporarily lower your stats. Moreover, every time that you reach out to the wine, you will see fire surrounding the wine and your stats will decrease by a few points (1 point for every 13 levels or 3 points maximum if the level is over 40..Notice that all combat stats are decreased). As an example, it is not unusual for myself that has 80+ range to leave the place with my range level temporarily decreased in the 30's.

Solution: If you have 19 prayer or more, use the stat restore and any other prayer you can use as there is an altar next to the table to recharge your prayer points. Also, don't forget to bring food and even a strength potion if you use melee, as an excellent way to restore strength. You may want to bring some food as well - this is because your defense level will be decreased by the monks and wine.

After you are done with a full inventory, go south towards the bank in falador to bank all the zammy wines and come back. If you are doing it the combat way, and your stats have decreased grately, you may want to let one of the guards in falador kill you in order to come fresh again. Plus with the update now, you spawn right in Falador square, so it's even better.
Extra Tips:

- Try to have them killed one after the other as quickly as possible.

- Killing the monks usually gives me enough time to grab 9-10 wines.

- After all monks have been killed, it is much faster to get the wine with bare hands than it is with the telegrab spell

- If someone else tries to compete for the wine and get it manually then try this: when waiting for the wine, start repeatedly clicking on the table as fast as you can where the wine is due to appear. When the wine will appear, I can guarantee that you will get it. This works almost very well and over the years, I can say that very few others have figured out the trick.

I don't think I've missed anything, but if so, then let me know. Good luck to everyone!
