Runescape, the online multiplayer game provides a fantasy world that has a number of quests or challenges where the players can excel with their skill. Although the world of Runescape is a huge fantasy world it has several similarities with the real world.

The Runescape World and Money
In the world of Runescape, like the real world you can make money by making certain things and selling it for money or gold pieces (as the currency of Runescape is known). In Runescape the basic economic principle of demand and supply hold good and so the prices of things keep fluctuating on a regular basis. If there are several players who would like to sell a particular item then the price of the thing would fall. Thus, understanding the basics of demand and supply and being able to visualize the future demand for the product would contribute to making money on Runescape.

Take a look around the Runescape world
The Runescape world is a massive world and would take some time to understand. It would be better for you as a beginner to first just look around and try to understand the basics. Do not take any advice from other players as there is nobody out here who is a friend. Everybody is out to make money here and do better at the game of Runescape and for this the means is just not important. There would be players here who would ask you to follow them. Do not fall in this trap. Runescape has something known as “Player Killing” (pking) which can be done in the Wilderness. So do not follow any player who asks you to follow him you may end up in total danger. Take time to understand things here and then start towards achieving your goals.

Ways to make money at Runescape
Some of the ways to start making money here would be:
· Killing chickens and collecting their feathers. This is a good way to start but you would need to be good at it as only killing about a few hundred chickens and selling them in wholesale would get you a sizeable sum.
· Mining would be another option worth trying out. You can get a pick axe and go to the nearest mine. This would help you to increase your mining experience and take you to higher skills on one side, on the other hand you would be able to mine ores that could be sold for money. Initially only copper and tin is available to you but as you gain experience in mining you would move to higher levels and have more ores that are accessible. Even at a stage where only copper and tin are available you could smelt it and make bronze which is a metal in very high demand and thus, make money.
