As of now mining coal is probably the best consistent money maker. In mining guild with 60+ mining you can mine 300 coal/h, which is 35k/h profit at current prices, and they continue to slowly rise due to high demand.
Fishing lobs/tuna/swordfish is decent, but not as good as coal, as the prices of fish has only been going down since release with higher supply since fishing is afk.
Being a runecrafter’s runner is up there with mining coal, but its limited to times when someone is hiring runners, and selling the airs/minds afterwards is kind of slow.
Thanks for the advice mate! I’ve just done 30 att 30 stre , pleased with that. Need to make some money now. What’s the best way to do my mining to those levels?
There’s no banks close to iron mining spots in 2004, so you are best off just dropping the iron ore and use the 4 iron rocks spot in rimmington or the 5 iron rocks spot in deep wildy until you get to lvl 60 for mining guild. But it might be worth banking irons initially so you can save up for pickaxe upgrades if you have no other moneymakers.
even with 60-70 base and full rune, moss and hill giants is only about 10k/h net profit assuming you bury the big bones (not sure if you bank full invs of big bones)
but of course this game is about more than just making money, and the higher combat level will come in handy whenever member content gets added
