Method MoneyOne easy way to earn money is to increase mining and crafting. Once you're able to create items, sell them for easy cash.
ScifeTo get a scife in Runescape you must go to Varrock. Go to the place with a bunch of logs. Get your magic high enough to use weaken. Use weaken on the log pile. A level 22 Tree Spirit will appear. If you kill it it will drop a scife and nature runes.
Colored TextIn RuneScape Classic, if you enter text like this: @red@, then press enter, the next text you enter will be red. You can also do this with other colors, by just putting in the first 3 letters of the word, like blue would be @blu@.
Easy Money At Port Salim and ask the men in blue to take a ship to Karamja. Then go to the first house you see on the right. Talk to the man in black clothes. He will ask you to do a job. Get 10 bananas and put them in the crate to get 30gp. Keep doing this to get a lot of money.
Bronze Dagger:Go to Lumbridge Castle. When inside, turn to your left and go down the hall past the cooking place. In the last room, go up the ladder then find the room with the Duke Of Lumbridge. Enter that room and go to the table at the end of it. If you wait long enough, a bronze dagger will appear.
Black Kites:Use the following trick to get Black Hatchets, Mediums, Maces, and Kites. If you want to get the Hatchets, Mediums, and Maces, go straight up from Edgeville to level 15 wilderness. There will be a castle here. Walk in and kill level 21 Dark Warriors until they drop these items. For Black Kites; go all the way west to the wilderness until you reach to a big open ocean. Go straight north until you see the level 60+ Ice Giants. Kill them to get Black Kites.
Air Runes:To get easy Air Runes, go to Karamja. Go behind Luthas's house. You will see three Air Runes there. Since they respawn fast, stay there and in thirty minutes you will have over 200.
Easy level ups:Go to Rimmington, then go to the room where two logs respawn. Go in it, close the door, then wait until the little level 2 rats respawn there. Kill them until you reach level 5, then go back to Lumbridge. Go to the room with goblins in it. Close the door and wait until they respawn. Kill them and level up to about level 10. Then, go to Varrok and kill any level 9 men and level 10 muggers until you level up five more times. Then, go to the Wizard Tower to level up to level 20. Continue with the higher five levels each time until you are at level 40.
Easy Level ups Ok...Now....There are 2 ways to do this...
First/the hard type
Go to World 34 and go to Karamja and go to the fishing dock. You will see a guy named Xpopox..(20% chance) Say "good day rune bodyplate"..He will eventually wish to trade with you....then...give him 30k to confuse the runescape server...say "level 5 smithing"... It will record your smithing as 5. BUT go to dwarven mines and mine 12 copper and 12 tin. Smelt them into 12 bronze bars. Now..get a hammer and go to dwarven mines and "use" the bronze bar with the anvil. It will say "Rune Bodyplate" - 1 bar. Now, you can make as many Rune Bodyplates as you want and sell them!!
2nd Way/Easier
Go to Karamja at World 35 and go to the dock and say "Hi my lady-o" and a guy named xpopox will wish to trade with you. Trade with him and simply give him 15k nothing. After that, he will offer to trade with you. He will give you a cooked lobster. Go to the Goblin Village after this. Then, add a person named "runejagx". Kill 5 goblins and the fifth one will drop a Rune Bodyplate OR Rune chainmail but it will turn your smithing to level 5. (You can kill goblins anytime you want and the fifth goblin you kill will drop a Rune Bodyplate OR Runen Chainmail.
Easy itemsStart a new character and only increase his strength. After he has a lot of strength, make him a member then go to Lumbridge and duel. When you get into a duel, select no weapons, magic, prayer, and retreating. You will only battle with hands and nothing else. Make sure you have full iron on and Amulet of Strength.
Hidden mine:On the road to Varrok (the way to Stonehenge), you will notice a little opening on the wooden gates when you reach the entrance. Instead of going inside Varrok, go through the opening on the left gate (from behind you) and keep walking. There will be a mine that not many people use. The mine contains Iron, Silver, Tin, Copper, and Clay.
Good player killing:Get your attack up to 40 so that you can hold Rune and get your defense up to 10. Next, get your strength as high as possible. You should be able to hit somewhere between 20 and 27.
Silverlight:Go to Varrock and talk to the gypsy. She will explain the quest. To undrain the key in the pipe, which is part of the quest, use a bucket of water over the drain and head for the sewer.
Easier survival:To survive anywhere, bring a sleeping bag and when you get low on health, sleep in it. It will heal while you are sleeping and you cannot be attacked during that time.
Ernest the Chicken switchesWhen you go into the place with the switches, pull them in this order: A, B, D, A, B, F, E, C.
Oil cansThe following is the order of switches for retrieving the oil can at Draynor Manor: A: Up, B: Up, C: Down, D: Down E: Up F: Down.
The following is the order of levers to retrieving the oil can in the basement of the castle: A: A B: B C: D D: A E: B F: E G: F H: C I: E.
Change text colorTo talk in a different colored text, type @, then enter the first three letters of the color, then type another @, without spaces. For example, if you type @blu@, your text will appear blue. The following is a list of colors and letters to use:
ran: Random, flashing text
blu: Blue
bla: Black
cya: Cyan
gre: Green
mag: Magenta
ora: Orange

Be the bestClick on run, type RegEdit. Press [Ctrl]+[F] to bring up the Find dialog (NOTE: you must be running runescape at the same time). Type: Jagex Software (you have to have the downloaded version of freeserver or members). When typed Jagex software it should of gone into html files. Don't click anything yet, just keep pressing [F3] until it has your stats, your mining everything your runescape character has and your money (NOTE: it cannot detect armour). Then you can alter any of these things. Just double click on the thing you wish to upgrade and change the value. The best you can put your character to is 90, if you do it too high your character will be deleted you may do it if you wish, but I recommend you don't do it. And the same with mining and smithing and fishing and everything else. If you are a free member you cannot make any member sats higher E.G. Thieving herblaw anything like that. You must be on a member's server and must have the members version downloaded, it works on a freeserver...
ScifeTo get a scife in Runescape you must go to Varrock. Go to the place with a bunch of logs. Get your magic high enough to use weaken. Use weaken on the log pile. A level 22 Tree Spirit will appear. If you kill it it will drop a scife and nature runes.
Survive in the Lava ChambersGet to the point where you are able to fight Lesser Demons or level 54 Skeletons or Red Spiders. After defeating the Dragon, or at least using the secret door the first time from the Crandor side, get enough Fishing and Cooking to be able to catch and cook Lobster. Bring a Lobster Pot, a Tinderbox and a Hatchet (any type). Reach the island from Karamja (through the secret door). Fight your monsters, etc. When you run out of food, return through the secret door to Karamja and fish for Lobsters. Then, cut a tree for logs, set it on fire, and cook your Lobsters. This allows you to survive in the Lava Chambers under Crandor/Karamja Islands almost indefinitely. This is useful for leveling up against certain monsters and to also get a lot of one kind of item from a particular monster (such as Rune Mediums from Lesser Demons).
Red Spider EggsGo to Karajama Island. Go past the banana grove until you get to the scorpions. When you get there, go down the ladder and pass the skeletons. You will find red spider eggs. Note: You need to be at least over level 30.
Halloween MaskKill high level monsters such as White Knight, Ice Giants, etc. on October 31. There are three different colors.
Santa HatKill high level monsters such as White Knight, Ice Giants, etc. on December 25.
Three ways for moneyThere are three initial ways to earn money in runescape:
Killing things: One of the most entertaining, but not the quickest, way to earn cash. Certain monsters drop what you need. Drops varry from coins, to items (most likely something that you're too high a level for you to even consider using.) that can sell at certain shops. Selling to a shop which specializes in that item gets you more money (sell shield to shield shop, mace to mace shop ect...). Killing players NOT recommended, you usually face other people who have that same idea in mind...
The second way, is raising skills. Raising minning, fishing, and woodcutting are popular. Woodcutting earns 5 coins a log, 25 a willow log, if you're a member 100 coins maple, 250 coins yews, and if you're a member, 1,000 coin magic logs. Fish sell for 100 a tuna, 200 a lobster, 300 a swordfish (VERY HARD TO BANK for non members, not recommened). Then there's minning, where you have to pay the most attention. Iron sells 50gp each, coal 150 each, mithril I'm a bit unsure but 450gps or so, adamant REALLY unsure but nearly 1k per, and runite 10k an ore! This gets dull after a while, but it's a good way to start getting money or to continue in it and get to the good stuff (gets better as you reach adamant, very long though, patience a must). If you would be interested in selling any of these items to me, I'm willing to buy :).
Last, but really the least, picking stuff up. It is the worse way of making money...but, you can do it with some risk it pays off. What I would do is wander in the wilderness (DO NOT TRUST ANYONE WHATSOEVER) and collect certain prizes. There is an area rather deep with iron and steel items (as mentioned in above posts probably) and there is also a spot in 38 or so wilderness that is partially surrounded by grass and guarded with moss giants who watch over chaos runes. These can bring in 100 or so gold each, and with proper care, you can get all 5 on the ground and find a spot where you can't be hit. DON'T BE GREEDY, get like 50 if you can, maybe 100 tops. It's recommended you sell in quantities of 1000 to get full price, if you try to sell ten or so people will call you a noob and no one will buy them. If you sell 1000 or more, you might be able to negotiate 110 each...but that's a maybe. You can test out the buyers limit by saying a high price, then lowering it if it's too costly. Picking up items can get you a small load, but if you are going to pick up chaos, GET READY TO BE WOOPED OVER AND OVER.
