Killing Chickens as a Way to Make Money and XP

I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but feathers have recently skyrocketed in price. As of writing this, they are standing at an all-time high of 18 gp per feather. Killing chickens to sell their feathers is one of the best ways to make money for low levels in f2p – (And a decent one for that matter to higher level accounts)

Money made per hour
I’ve managed to get slightly over 3’000 feathers under one hour. In my case, at 18gp each, that equals to 54’000 gp made in one hour.

Notice that I’ve done that using a mid-leveled account. Actual figures for newer or low level characters could range from 15k per hour (at least) to 40k per hour (very reasonable)

Getting started:
Bring the best weapons and armor you can get (power or strength amulet and scimitar if you use melee).
Try to stay focused and not loose your time chatting while you’re making gp
When you start feeling tired, you can kick in some local radio to keep you going

My favorite chicken pens – Best places to find chickens to kill and make money from

1. The farm across the cow field, north-west of Draynor and close to the the magic shop in port Sarim. The pen has 8 chickens – the most you will find in f2p.

2. Fred's farm, right across the cabbage field and North of the Lumbridge castle.

3. The Lumbridge Farm just South of Falador. It is near all the goblins and next to a cow field. A good place but sometimes I find it crowded.

4. The Champions' Guild’s chicken pen (32 quest points needed access), located

There are a few more places that I know of to find more chickens but from my personal experience, these ones work the best.

And remember, if you are looking to train prayer, this would be an excellent way to do it. Now go kill these chickens... Hope you liked it, Cheers! Stay tuned for the next guide!

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!

How to Make Runescape Gp from Scratch (f2p)

2 days ago I found myself in that situation, without having scaped for over 164 days. My bank was empty and I had no money. If you lost yours too, then read this. By the way this is the fastest and most efficient method I've found to get you going.


Getting the first 500 gp.(3 minutes)

If you are in Lumbridge, then go by the goblin house or cows, and pick up 10 bones or more, actually 15 to be safe. You will need that money later on. The equivalent would be around 10 or 15 cowhides if you prefer, so long as it's more than 500 gp - because you will need that money soon.


From 500 gp to 15k (10-15 minutes)

Head down to the grand exchange to sell the items you picked up (price them so they sell fast), then head to the clothing shop in varock, right next to the general store. You will find multiple items selling for cheap but that are worth quite a bit on the grand exchange:

cape (red)= 224 gp
blue skirt = 186 gp
pink skirt = 116 gp
leather boots = 114 gp
white apron = 109 gp
priest gown (top) =71 gp
brown apron = 64 gp

Buy a full inventory of those, then bank them, go back, buy,etc - repeat until the clothing shop goes out of stock. When you are done, go sell them at the grand exchange. You will be surprised by how much money you will have made - in my case, a little over 15k. With that money you have now, you are no longer strangled.


From 15k to 100k (1 hour)

There are several options;

1.Killing chickens for feathers (2hours)
2.Collecting blue and black magic hats from aggie's magic shop (1hour)
3.Killing wizards at the wizard's tower for blue hats and robes (2 hours)
4.Collecting wines of zammorack (req: 32 magic or medium offensive stats) or good combat stats (1hour)
5.Riding Current merchanted items (Varies)

I will explain these in more detail tomorrow. If you have a good suggestion then leave a comment and I will add it. See you tomorrow, goodnite
