This Is Old School: Making Money as a Free-to-Play Player

Money talks, and that's certainly true in the world of Gielinor. Seen one of your fellow adventurers wielding a massive sword and feeling jealous? Killing the boss that drops that loot is one option, but why not just buy one from another player? Need some runes to cast spells to take down some demons? You could go and make your own, but equally there's no reason not to drop some cash instead.

To help, we've put together a short guide about beginning to fill your purse with the coins you'll need to fund your adventures!

The first tip we'll give is have fun. Kill stuff and pick up the things they drop. Cut logs and sell them. Catch some fish and sell those. You can start building your fortune whatever you choose to do in Gielinor.

But you're gamers, and you want to know the best way to fill your Bank, right?

Here's an easy way to make 10,000GP early in the game. And the best thing is - brand new accounts can do it! Head to the Stronghold of Security, explore the dungeon, plunder the chests and you'll walk away with coins aplenty!

Players will pay a pretty penny for items, particularly those which can be quite tricky to acquire. Supply and demand, baby:

• Making Dyes
• Grinding Chocolate Bars
• Tanning Cowhide

Those are just a handful of ways for new free-to-play players to bankroll the beginning of an epic journey. We'd seriously recommend taking a look at the assortment of methods and guides listed on the Old School Wiki (it's easily the greatest Wiki in the world!).

Until next time, future adventurer!
