Runescape Skill Leveling and Easy Money Making Guide

This is a simple guide that will give a broad overview of skills and how to level them quickly or sufficiently balancing the spending and experience you receive per hour. This guide is for non members (f2p). This guide isn't for lower levels and it is based on higher levelled skills but the basics are included in this guide too.

Magic:

Mage is a great skill for combat from a distance, but levelling it can be a tedious process. There is no cheaper way to level it, but it does get easier once you reach level 43 and over. I don't have a certain guide from bellow level 43 but I do recommend using non combat mage spells because they do tend to be cheaper. I have heard of people going to south of Falador, with fire runes and using the spell “fire strike” on a wizard of the same “rune”, in this case fire. This means, the wizard won't take any damage from a spell of his own kind, this means you don't have to keep an eye at your character unless there is a chance that you might die, but the wizard will stay alive as long as you use fire strike. Once you reach level 43, I highly recommend you use “super heat”. This is a spell that turns your ores into bars without going to a furnace. This is fast xp for both smithing and magic, it is cheap and reliable. Your next goal is level 55 mage, here, you can start alching, and you should always high alch or you might loose money. Alching is the way to get to 99 mage, and it should take 3 months if you alch at least 4k of the item a day, and remember, it doesn't matter the cost of the item, you will always get 65 mage xp from alching.

Runecrafting:

This is a hard skill to level, in members or non members. For fast xp, you should start with air and keep using air till level 50. This is a lot of work, but it is the fastest way if you are walking. I recommend using a tiara and normal essence. Now, at level 50, you can make a bit of cash with crafting air runes, but I recommend going to the runecrafting guild, found in the wizard's tower. There, you can participate in a mini game which will earn you tokens, you can spend the tokens on what ever you want, but if you want to keep levelling your runecrafting, buy as many teleporting tablets to the body alter as you can and then go to the grand exchange and buy rune essence. To find out how many essence you can craft with the tablets, you times the number of rune essence you can fit in your inventory by the number of tablets which. Now you can just teleport to the body altar, craft the runes and then teleport to Varrock and head to the big bank, and repeat. You will loose money, but you will level fast. I am sure there are other ways, but this is just one of the many.

Mining:

The fastest way to level mining is by power mining. Power mining is where you mine the iron ore and then drop it on the spot. Iron ore is the fastest xp you can get, at about 45k to 55k xp an hour. But, this is now impossible as it requires 3 ores to be in a v like shape, but that was taken away with the latest update. You can still mine the 3 ores in alkarad but you will have to walk. Another way to mine is to mine coal in the mining guild, level 60 mining required, or 59 + stout. You can do a lot of things in the mine, one of them would be to mine mithril ore and coal ore then super heat and turn into bars, when you have a full inventory, bank and repeat. This is 8k less xp an hour then power mining iron.

Smithing:

With smithing, you can get creative, but it cost a lot of money to level, and for an f2p player, it is a near impossible task if you don't have the time and money. You have 3 main choices here, super heat ores at bank, but the lower levelled the ore the more money you will loose, you can smelt the ores normally, buy either buying the ores from the grand exchange or mining them yourself. The fastest, but most expensive way is the smith steel plates, buy steel bars and make steel plates, this is extremely fast but very expensive. You can mine the ores, and then make the bars yourself if you want, but this will be a lot slower. This is the way to get to 99 in f2p.

Fishing:

There aren't many ways to fish in f2p; you have to choose between fast xp or fast money. Fishing is a great way to make money in f2p and p2p. If you want money, get to level 41 fishing and go to Karamja and fish lobsters, it will be slow so I recommend a level of around 60 if you want good money. If you want fast xp, buy or get your own feathers, buy a fly fishing rod and go and fish trout and salmon at barbarian village. This is the fastest fishing xp and it only takes around 3 minutes for a full bag of both trout and salmon. At level 65 fishing, you can get swordfish gloves from Fist of Guthix which will allow you to fish 1000 swordfish without getting any tuna. If you want money, always fish the best thing you can, if you want xp go to barbarian village.

Cooking:

Cooking is a very easy skill to level, and the fastest way is to buy the raw fish from the grand exchange, cook them and then sell them. You will always loose money, and will end up loosing around 3 - 4ml from 1 to 99. Try not to cook fish that you will burn, and once you get to level 86, you can cook swordfish to level 99 because they are cheaper then lobsters because you need less of them and the difference between buying and selling is less gp. You can always fish your own fish, and cook them which will level both your fishing and cooking. Be aware, trouts are the cheapest to cook and you will only loose a few gp but they sell very slowly, but a bit faster then willow logs.

Firemaking:

Fire making costs a lot of money and you don't make any money from it in non members. It is a bit useless, but it is an easy skill to level. For fast xp, use the best logs you can, but I don't recommended you use yews because they cost too much if you use them all the way to 99, only use them when you get to the high 90s. I would recommend using maple logs to 99 because they are cheaper and it will cost around 3.5ml to 99. Use willow if you have to, they cost around half as much as willow logs.

Woodcutting:

Woodcutting is a good money making skill once you get to level 60 woodcutting. Chopping down yew logs at level 60 is very slow, so the higher you are the better. To get to level 60 woodcutting, cut willows at either Lumbrige or Draynor. I would recommend Draynor but it is always crowded. Willow is a lot faster xp then yews but they don't sell very well, it takes a long, long time.
