Barrows

  1. 1
    Gear up. Barrows is a high level mini-game that involves fighting 6 brothers and the looting the chest for a chance at their armor. Be no less than 70 in each of your preferred skill. Magic would be the most effective as 4 of the 6 brothers are weak to an elemental magic, however melee and range are viable options as well. Take Plenty of food, and 3 or 4 prayer potions. Note that you require a shovel in Osrs, but not in RS3.
  2. 2
    Get to Mort'ton. If you have completed the quest "In Aid of Myreque", you can use the shortcut underneath the bar in Canfis, otherwise you have to go through the swap and around the maze. Go just East of the Shades of Mort'ton minigame and you'll see 6 mounds, dig up one to go to the brother.

  3. 3
    Fight the brothers. Each of them have their special perks, however Dharok is the one to look out for. The lower health he has, the higher damage he has a potential to deal. Protect from melee or similar prayers are highly recommended, as he can one-hit you without prayer.
  4. 4
    Enter the crypt. In one of the brothers tomb's you will find that there is a tunnel leading to a crypt. Only enter this after all 5 of the other brothers are killed. Here you will have to go through a series of doors to get to the center, the final door requiring you to answer a puzzle. Once you have done that, go through the door.
  5. 5
    Loot the chest. As you attempt to the final brother you did not fight originally will appear. Kill him and then loot the chest. You are looking to get one of their items, the most valuable include Guthan's armor and weapon and Karil's Crossbow.

  2. 2
    Set a preset. Set a bank present that you will have 14 vials of water and 14 of the herbs. Combine them to make unfinished potions. Almost all the potions will make you profit, the most profitable being fellstalk, which requires 91 herblore.

  2. 2
    Buy your supplies. Buy at least 1,000 soft clay and law runes. You can either have an air battlestaff or an earth battlestaff, however buy the rune that you do not have the staff in with the same quantity as your law runes.
  3. 3
    Hire the highest butler you can. Go to Ardougne just north of the market. Talk to the Butler Master about buying a butler. The demon butler gives you the most money, however costs the most to hire and the most to keep using. When doing this method, keep a few hundred thousand in your money pouch to pay your butler.
  4. 4
    Go to your house and make house teleport tabs. As you run out of money, call your butler and ask him to fetch 25 soft clay from the bank, the maximum he can carry. After 5-7 tasks he will require a 10k payment, and toggling this as auto helps speed up the process. The tabs stack, so banking is not needed.

Woodcutting

PDF download Download Article
  1. 1
    Know the requirements: Rune Hatchet. As you progress your Woodcutting level, it is highly recommended that you upgrade your hatchet as well. Depending on what you choose to do, it's best to make money while doing this to get better hatchets.
    • Level 1-15: Cut regular Logs. This will take a while because you have just started. Don't buy an iron hatchet as it is a waste of money and will not make much of a difference
    • Level 15-30: Cut Oak Logs. You earn around 1,000 gold from Oak Logs. Use a Mithril Hatchet when you get to level 21 in Woodcutting. Get ready to use the Adamant Hatchet at level 31.
    • Level 30-60: Cut Willow logs. Willow logs are fast exp, but their locations aren't normally quiet. You won't make much money with these trees, but enough to buy a Rune Hatchet (requires 41 Woodcutting). You can get magic seeds worth up to 150,000gp from birds nests here. Skip cutting down maples. These become available at level 45, but they are slow to cut down and not as good money per hour as willows.
    • Levels 60-99: You can start cutting down Yews. But it will be rather slow to get a full inventory. Instead, you should stick with Willows until 75 woodcutting, as they have fast experience.
    • Level 68-75: You are now at the level to chop Choking Ivy. It's not very slow; this is the best way to get experience, but not money. You can start on this at any level (68 or above). (This is a very good strategy for those that would like to get a few levels in one night).
    • Level 60-75: At 61 Woodcutting, you are able to use a Dragon Hatchet which costs around quite a bit of money. Begin cutting Yew Logs. The recommended place to cut being Seers' Village just south of the Flax field.
    • Levels 75-90: Cut Magic Logs between these levels. It is highly recommended that you use a dragon hatchet. If you can't afford it, then stick with the Rune Hatchet. Magic Logs can be very slow to cut at the required level. If you want to, stay with the yew trees until around 85-90. Magic logs have a profit of 1.3k each, and the best way for making money for members with Woodcutting. As of the 27/5/10 (DD/MM/YY), magic logs are roughly 1500 gp each on the Grand Exchange, but can increase or decrease depending on the time.
    • Levels 90-99: Cut Elder Logs. Not only are they a decent source of 500k+ gp per hour, but they are also extremely AFK. Just start cutting an elder tree and you will not have to pay attention to your screen for 5 minutes. Elder Logs sell for around 4000 gp each.
Method 12

    • Withdraw your hatchet, for faster money making use only a hatchet you can wield and you can use with your woodcutting level.
    • Leave the building wielding your hatchet and cross the south bridge, instantly go west until you see leafless, spiny trees called "Achey Tree's"
    • Cut Achey Tree's until full inventory and go back to the bank chest in the Castle Wars lobby and deposit all your Achey tree logs in your bank.
    • Repeat the process as many times as you like. Make a reasonable amount of money off 200 logs, which is 8 runs, But it is suggested that you continue and collect more!
    • Teleport to the lodestone in Varrock. Go to the Grand Exchange. Withdraw all your logs in note form and sell all of them in the Grand Exchange for minimum price. They should sell immediately.

  3. 3
    Bank and repeat. The closest banks are in Edgeville, or Daemonheim with the ring of Kinship. Depending on your combat level, you can make 200k-800k an hour if you save up your drops. Make a small tab for them under your bank, if you like.
  4. 4
    Magic is an effective way to kill dragons if there is a safe spot as in Red Dragon isle.
  5. 5
    Using Dwarf cannon (Requires quest: Dwarf cannon), may speed things up, however, you are likely to be flamed as it tends to take multiple kills, generally annoying other players. You can leave it running while you bank. Remember to pick up when you are told it is about to degrade.
  6. 6
    Remember to take a Varrock teleport so when a Player killer attacks, you can use it and get away or kill him/her. If you're using a weapon make sure you always have a anti-dragon shield and strength,defense,or attack potions.

  5. 5

    • Cutting goes faster if you have a woodcutting level of over 85 or 90 but even with 99 it is still very slow.
    • It is possible that cutting yew trees brings faster money than this.
    • If you have a full Lumberjack set (get it from Temple Trekking) you get more exp per log and if you have a strung rabbit foot (which is highly recommended) you get more bird nests, which also helps bring in more money.

  2. 2
    Go to your kingdom, and deposit 1.2m+ into the coffers.
  3. 3
    Come back to your kingdom everyday. Chop down some maple trees to keep your rating at 100%. You should get back a minimum of 1.2m but more than this if you can afford.
  4. 4
    Put all your villagers on herbs, and the rest on maple for the most efficient money. The reason this is most effective is not only will the herbs give you mass amounts of high-tier herbs such as ranarr and avantoe, they also give you the seeds. With maples, the logs are just icing on the cake as what you are really looking for is the bird's nest. If you open them, you are looking for high levelled tree seeds like magic and yew. Even if you don't get lucky with the nests, crushing them makes them worth 8 thousand a piece due to their use in Saradomin's Brews.
    • Do something else to fill the day, because you only need to return once.
