Welcome to my very own money making guide.
This guide and the methods contained within it will work for the vast majority of RS players, and I can guarantee that after reading this, you will never be short on money again. Guides will start from the lowest level progressing to the highest level of requirements, which usually means lower money to higher money. If a method is missing the gp/ph and you know it, please post and i will try to update that particular method. I will not include boss monsters or minigames in this guide, as that needs a more in depth look into the strategy involved in efficiently killing the boss monster or completing the minigame.
For combat; Recommended Combat Level, Short description, recommended loot, Gp/Hr
