If you are a PC gamer, then you have definitely heard of the game Runescape. Originally released in 2001, this game has achieved mass popularity and has become a gaming staple for those looking for a free MMORPG style game. The game also features a paid members area that grants access to more skills, more features, and more quests. Because of the popularity of the game, several methods of making money have emerged.
If you’re lucky, some of these methods can be so profitable that they can become a full-time job. Here are some ways that you can turn your Runescape gaming hours into real money.
Gold farming
Just like with any MMORPG, Runescape has its own economy where you can buy and sell items using gold which is the in-game currency. Runescape does not sell gold and you can only earn it through playing the game. That being said, many players actively search for other players who are looking to sell their in-game gold for real world money. This process is called gold farming, as the person spends their whole day “farming gold” so that they can sell it to others. If you are ever unsure on how to do this, there is a complete guide online about everything you need to know in regards to selling gold in the game. It is important to note that Runescape does not allow for gold to be sold, and if you are caught doing so your account will be banned. Therefore, you must follow the steps in these guides to ensure that you are doing it in a way that you will not get caught. First of all, when looking to sell gold, open up your own website or have a place outside of the game where people can contact you. Any conversations about buying and selling gold discussed in the game itself is sure to draw immediate attention. Look to sell in popular areas to maximize your hourly profits, and finally look to sell to a small group of trusted buyers. The more people you sell to, the more transactions that can be traced back to you. Not only that, but if one of these players report you, you will be caught and banned. Despite all that, if you farm gold correctly, you will find yourself profiting in no time.
Account leveling
Runescape is a game that requires “grinding”. Grinding as it is referred to, is a process in which you spend your time leveling up your skills to make your character better. This process can take an extremely long period of time as some skills can even take months to max out. For this reason it is called grinding. Many players do not want to deal with this mindless task and therefore will look for someone else to do it for them. Opening up a service where you login to other people’s accounts and level them up is a great way to make some extra money. Once again, establish a line of communication with them outside of the game and figure out what they would like to be done with their account. Determine what skills need to be leveled and which quests they would like done and then price them out accordingly. Once you get good at it, you will be able to level up multiple accounts at the same time greatly increasing the money that you can make. Look to level up people’s accounts to get some extra money into your bank account.
Selling accounts
This is a service similar to account leveling, but instead of using other people’s accounts and levelling them to what they asked for, you create an account yourself and level it up. Once you have maxed out all of its stats, go to a website with an online marketplace and list the account for sale. Certain accounts based on their items and stats can sell for hundreds of dollars. While the process is time consuming, you can use bots to automatically level up these accounts for you. Be careful though, as these bots can get you banned from the game. Look into creating and selling accounts to get you some extra money in the game.
With these methods, you can easily turn your gaming time into money making time. Look to farm gold and sell it to other players to make money. Along with this, leveling up other people’s accounts and creating and selling your own is a great way to make some extra money. Always be mindful of the ways you go about conducting your business, as if you are caught, your accounts will be banned. How do you plan on making your money?
