koods reacted to X1 X2 in Beginner/Basic Merching Guide For First Timers
I. Intro
You always see people with max gear but their hiscore page shows 7 Vorkath kills & 1 Zulrah kill for the diary and wonder how they made their money. Most of them probably did purchase gold online but most of these guys will always say merching. Everyone knows merching can make you a ton of money with little to no grind but a lot of people still don't try it. Many people have the misconception that you need to know a ton about the game and updates, market trends, flavor of the month items due to streamers, etc but in reality you can merch with literally no knowledge about the item you are even buying.
While it's true game updates on items result in huge price fluctuations and if you cash in early enough you can make a pretty penny but I'm going to be focusing on simple first time ways to begin flipping. I'll break it down as simple as I can but I'm no guru so if anyone would like to add or make changes feel free to pitch in!
This is an intro to flipping, many people already know how to do this but my goal is to help someone who is seeing this for the first time.
https://xkcd.com/1053/
II. Requirements
I recommend starting with at least 1m, you don't need a huge cash stack there are a ton of items you can get away with with 1m RuneLite/OpenOSRS/etc Plugin: Flipping Utilities (Plugin hub on RL) - Not needed but does make life easier
III. Finding Items to Flip
This is the part people usually struggle with the most and don't know how to start. What we'll be doing is taking advantage of impatient people, when you want to purchase an item instantly you'll hit that +5% a couple times to make sure you get that instant buy. We'll be cashing in on the age old saying "buy low sell high" because the goal will be to patiently buy items at or under market value and sell near the instant buy price.
What we're going to be looking for is items that have high trade volume so potions, darts, runes, etc - these items you can purchase 2000-10000 in 4 hours without hitting the limit. Things you can buy a ton of at once. Armor sets, weapons, gear, etc usually has a buy limit of 8-70 or around those low numbers. Here is a handy list from the OSRS wiki that has all item limits (sort by highest to lowest).
The first time I started this I literally went through my bank and looked for items I'm constantly restocking like prayer potions, darts, scales, brews, teleports, etc. In the next step I'll show you how to choose an item now that we know what kind of item we're looking for.
IV. First Purchase & Testing
Choose any commonly traded item that you use often, it doesn't matter what as we're just going to be testing the profit margin. Go to the GE and purchase the item at 10-15% ABOVE the average price to instantly buy it. Note down the price that the purchase was completed at. I'm going to use amethyst darts as an example. I put the offer in for 389 and bought it instantly for 353
Write down that price or if you have the Flipping Utilities plugin it will automatically record it for you. Next we're going to sell our 1 item back at 10-15% UNDER the default average price.
Now you can see it sold right away for 322 even though I put it in way lower. You want to record this number as well. So what we have is an instant buy price of 353 and an instant sell price of 322. The difference between these two numbers is going to be our profit margin - 31gp. If you're using the Flipping Utilities plugin it makes this incredibly easy and shows you the profit margin, ROI, and potential profit if you bought as many as you could.
I got lucky on my first try because I've done this item before. I will literally go through and do this with 10-20 common items in my bank until I see one that shows a potential profit worth my time - usually about 200k or so minimum. Choosing a profit margin is completely your choice so if your plugin says you're only going to make a 75k profit from a flip total and that's worth it for you, go for it. These small trades really add up, especially when you buy high volume. That's why you are shooting for something you can purchase thousands of. 31gp profit on these darts is not a lot until you buy 10k darts and end up making 300k+.
Once you've selected an item that looks like it has decent profit margin (trust me it's just trial and error for 10 minutes while you buy and sell random items, don't stress about trying to pick items you think merchers flip just trust the numbers) it's time to begin.
V. Flipping:)
Okay now it's time for the fun part, flipping! Get your cash stack and open up the item on the GE, what we'll be doing is setting the buy price to 1gp ABOVE the instant sell price. So the darts I sold instant sold for 322gp. That means I'll be setting the buy price to 323gp. We want to buy as low as possible but also beat anyone else selling them so instead of matching the lowest price we'll do 1gp better. This will mean quicker buys. (I can't attach any more pictures so Imgur links from now on).
Buy as many as you can afford and now we wait. These are not going to buy right away, it'll take some time to buy all of them. You may have to wait 1-2 hours or even overnight. I recommend not leaving buy offers overnight as prices can change a lot. Feel free to leave sell offers overnight.
VI. Profit
Once all your items have finished purchasing it's time to profit! Put your item up for sale on the GE and we're going to be setting our SELL price to 1gp UNDER the instant buy price. This is what we recorded those numbers for earlier or used the plugin. Since mine bought for 353gp instantly I'll be selling for 352gp. This is so we undercut anyone else selling and sell more quickly.
Now it's time to sit back and relax and watch your items slowly sell and the profit roll in. These won't instant sell so be patient and don't freak out if they don't sell for a few minutes. It usually takes 1-2 hours on average but I've left items overnight occasionally that didn't sell fast enough.
VII. Final Notes
Remember this is something you can do passively. 300k may not seem like a ton of money but it's 300k more than what you would have made while doing agility or slayer or anything. This is something you setup and forget while your items are buying/selling. Eventually you'll find a few select items that net you profit consistently. You won't need to test as many items to find profitable ones and you can go straight to your go-tos.
Finding items is seriously just typing in a couple letters and clicking a random item and testing it. When you're starting off don't stress too much about picking the perfect item. As long as there is a small margin and high volume you'll make decent money. Big flips take time and risk so this is a great place to start.
If your items don't end up selling in a day you may need to lower your price a bit and try again. You won't really run into this unless there are large fluctuations or just an unlucky flip where you may have to sell at cost.
Thank you for reading, I hope this helps someone confidently make their first flip:) Let me know if you have any suggestions, fixes, or comments!

koods reacted to Tauriiel in Keep your account secure!
This is a condensed guide on account security and will cover the following points:
1: How do I keep my account secure?
2: How do people get "hacked" and how can I prevent getting "hacked"?
3: I got "hacked" what do I do now?
Jagex has a less detailed guide on account security as well, which you can view here https://www.runescape.com/oldschool/security
1: How do I keep my account secure?
Keeping your account secure at all times is essential to prevent getting "hacked" or recovered.
1.1: Passwords
A strong password consists of at least six characters (and the more characters, the stronger the password) that are a combination of letters, numbers and symbols (@, #, $, %, etc.). Sadly Runescape passwords are not case sensitive.
Do NOT use the same password for any other things (emails, games, forums, etc.)! This is self-explanatory, but some people still use the same password for everything, even for their Runescape related email.
Change your password periodically (like every month)! Your previous passwords are important information. They're like footprints that only you know. The odds of being successfully "hacked" sink drastically if your account has dozens of passwords logged.
Do NOT store your passwords on your PC! Instead write them down on a piece of paper if you can't remember them (for something like a Runescape password this is fine, however, this isn't recommended for more important information such as real life bank account details etc.).
1.2: Email
Do NOT use your login email name as your email! People likely created their accounts years and years ago and didn't think of account security back then. It's possible that your login email is leaked somewhere along with its passwords. Furthermore, if you accidently leak your login email through streaming for example you don't have to be afraid that your email account is going to be targeted, because that email account is irrelevant to you anyway.
Do NOT use the same email for any other things (games, forums, etc.)!
Use a different password for your email and your Runescape account! I know I'm being repetitive here, but I can't stress this enough.
Activate two-factor authentication on your email account.
1.3: Bank Pin
Have a bank pin set on your account and set the delay of removal to 7 days! I know it can be inconvenient at times, but the bank pin is your most important second layer of security. Unlike the authenticator, it won't be deleted if your account gets recovered.
Use random numbers as your bank pin! Do NOT use stuff like your birth date or year or any other meaningful number combinations related to you.
Change your bank pin periodically (like every month)!
1.4: Authenticator
Activate an authenticator on both your Runescape account and on your email. The authenticator is arguably the most controversial account security measure. It's simply stupid that Jagex doesn't have an opt-in for putting a delay on its removal. However, the authenticator is still an important account security tool. Even if somebody knows your current password, they won't be able to access your account if you have an active authenticator set.
Do NOT have the authenticator software on your PC! Have it on your mobile phone instead! If your PC is ratted, "hackers" will be able to bypass your authenticator if it's accessible on your PC.
1.5: Account Information
Do NOT share important account information with anyone. This includes things like your account creation date, your (creation) ISP, your IP, your payment method and any information regarding your previous payments, your country, your name or your postcode. "Hackers" often try to get you to reveal account information with subtle questions. Keep this in mind, especially if you're a streamer.
1.6: Account Ties to Social Media
Do NOT tie your Runescape account to social media! You can check if your account is tied to any social network by going to your account settings under social networks. Make sure no social network is tied to your account and untie any if necessary. "Hackers" can recover your account by just having access to your Facebook for example.
1.7: Account Sharing
Do NOT share your account, period! Sharing your account is one of the dumbest things you can do. Your account could be stripped off all the wealth at any point and it could even end up in recovery battles for the account. This also includes things like letting somebody on your account temporarily to do skills or other challenges for you or change your RSN for you. Do NOT let anyone on your account, ever.
1.8: Runescape Private Servers
Do NOT play private servers! Private servers are notorious for compromising your information to "hack" your account.
1.9: Runescape Clients
Be careful of which client you use! I know people want everything spoonfed through clients, but I highly recommend only using the official client. If you choose to use a third party client you put your account at risk. I don't want to be overly dramatic here, so if you choose to use a third party client make at least sure you don't fall for fake download links.
2: How do people get "hacked" and how can I prevent getting "hacked"?
To understand how to prevent getting "hacked" you must be aware of possible and common "hacking" methods.
2.1: How can I prevent getting "hacked"?
Keep your account secure at all times and be aware of possible and common "hacking" methods!
2.2: How do people get "hacked"
First off, the people who try to "hack" you aren't gifted masterminds. They use very basic methods of obtaining your information and you shouldn't fall for them as long as you are aware of them.
2.2.1: Phishing Links
Phishing links are arguably the most common Runescape related "hacking" method out there. You will be lured (fake URL shorteners, fake emails, fake Twitch streams, fake Youtube videos, fake in-game chat promises, fake Jagex employees, fake Discord DMs (from impersonators), etc.) to a fake Runescape website by clicking on a phishing link. What exactly is a phishing link? Usually you'll encounter spoofed links that look like they're the real deal, but they're not. The padlock sign is helpful, but you must be aware of how people spoof URLs.
This is an example of a correct URL:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RuneScape
The most important part of this URL is the https:// protocol and the root domain, which exists of a domain name and the top level domain (wikipedia.org in this case). https:// is an extension of http:// that encrypts your communication protocol and will be used during tasks that involve sensitive information such as typing in your Runescape account details. Do NOT get tricked into thinking https:// automatically means that you're on the correct site. Owners of phishing sites can also buy certificates.
These are examples of spoofs:
https://en.wikipebia.org/wiki/RuneScape
Notice how the domain name has a b instead of a d.(edited)
https://en.wiki.pedia.org/wiki/RuneScape
Notice how the domain of the URL is different. The actual second level domain and top level domain (this is called root domain) would be pedia.org in this case. The wiki part would be what is called a subdomain. Subdomains can be created freely for any root domain. The / marks folders. Pay extra attention to what's left of the first /! That's how you can identify the root domain! The root domain for Runescape is runescape.com and nothing else!
Keep in mind that links can be disguised with hyperlinks. ALWAYS hover over links to check the real URL before clicking them!
Be especially cautious of phishing links through emails. You'd think that only Jagex could send you an email, but your email could be leaked. "Hackers" will spoof their email address as well to look like the real email address. You SHOULD have an email only for your Runescape account and that's why you can ignore any emails you receive on that email account. If absolutely necessary, Jagex will always contact you through their in-built mailbox system which you can check through your account settings. If you encounter fishy emails, change your account contact email information!
2.2.2: Social Engineering
Social engineering refers to psychological manipulation of people into performing actions or divulging confidential information. Do NOT accidently leak account information! Account information can be used to recover your account! "Hackers" will approach you with subtle questions like: "Hey man, nice account, that must've taken ages. When did you start playing?", "I love bonds. I can play the game without paying real money. How do you pay for the game btw?", "Damn, I see you online all the time, where are you from?" with the typical follow up question "Yeah I imagined, but where exactly in that country are you from?", etc. Especially streamers MUST be aware of social engineering.
2.2.3: IP Grabbers
IP grabbers are links that you're expected to click on immediately and are usually given to you via DMs. IP grabbers allow the "hacker" to grab your IP. Your IP is incredibly valuable information. By knowing your IP "hackers" know your ISP and your location, which is sensitive information that can be used to recover your account. They can also DDOS you and therefore prevent you from getting your account locked in time. Do NOT click on links from people you don't know! This also means, don't go to phishing sites and troll them with fake logins. They will compromise your IP.
2.2.4: Rats / Back Doors
A remote access Trojan (RAT) is a malware program that includes a back door for administrative control over your computer. RATs are usually downloaded invisibly with a user-requested program (like a client or a game) or sent as an email attachment. Be very careful what Runescape related stuff you download! If you're ratted "hackers" are able to bypass all security measures. Once you've downloaded something Runescape related, perform a thorough virus scan on your computer before logging into the game again!
2.2.5: TeamViewer
TeamViewer is proprietary computer software for remote control, desktop sharing, online meeting, web conferencing and file transfer between computers. Never allow anyone to access your PC remotely through TeamViewer or similar software! TeamViewer scams usually don't result in your account being compromised, but rather strip you off your wealth on the spot.
2.3: How do people recover accounts?
"Hackers" abuse Jagex' questionable recovery system. First "hackers" try to get as much of your account information as possible. Most of your account information is easily accessible online or by socially engineering you. It's crucial that you don't share important account information! The absolute most important thing and your number one priority to keep hidden is your Runescape login name/email. "Hackers" can't do anything without knowing that. Ideally you never used your login name/email for anything beside Runescape and you've never been "hacked" before. If that's the case, congratulations, it's pretty much impossible to recover your account.
Sadly a lot of people didn't think this far and used their Runescape login name/email for a lot of different things. Websites get cracked all the time and it's possible that your login name/email is out there somewhere (you can check this yourself with various leaked databases). "Hackers" can't recover your account without knowing at least one previous password. So even if you've used your Runescape login name/email somewhere else, but you didn't use the same password, "hackers" won't be able to match the login name/email with the correct password and thus it's impossible to recover your account. It gets problematic when your Runescape name/email is leaked along with a password that you've used for your Runescape account before. It's important to note that if that's the case for you and you haven't changed your password yet, you should do that immediately. However, without knowing whose information this is "hackers" won't be able to recover your account. It may be possible to run scripts through leaked databases to try to log into Runescape accounts, but since you've changed your password, they won't be able to login. It's impossible to "hack" your account by only knowing your login email/name and one previous password. The real problem starts when this information can be linked to a user. Example: A streamer leaks their login email, therefore the "hacker" runs this email through leaked databases and finds a previous password. To recover your account the "hacker" only needs to find the other missing information and once the “hacker” knows who to target that's a lot easier than you might think. It's your job to keep your account information hidden at all times.
3: I got "hacked" what do I do now?
Get your account locked, scan your PC for viruses, recover your account, secure your account, submit a ticket to ask for account help and keep your account secure in that order. Note: If you aren't the account creator, don't even bother with trying to get "your" account back. You will always lose recovery battles in the future.
3.1: Get your account locked
Before you do anything else, get your account locked. If you suspect that your PC is compromised, ask your friends to get your account locked through social media (Twitter or Discord). Tweet @JagexSupport or ask JMods for help on Discord if they're online and during their working hours. I'm not entirely sure if bruteforcing bank pins is just a myth, but nonetheless there are only 10000 possible combinations and the longer a "hacker" is on your account the more tries they get. Do NOT submit a ticket to ask for account help before scanning your PC for viruses!
3.2: Scan your PC
Thoroughly scan your PC for viruses and remove them. If you suspect that you're ratted, but your anti-virus software can't find any viruses, de- and reinstall your entire system.
3.3: Recover your Account
https://support.runescape.com/hc/en-gb/articles/207217595-Hijacked-account Follow the instructions by Jagex and recover your account.
3.4: Secure your Account
This overlaps with what was already covered in point 1. Create a fresh Runescape only email address, put 2FA on it and set an authenticator, an entirely new password and a new bank pin on your Runescape account.
3.5: Submit a Ticket
People whose accounts were maliciously accessed run into the risk of being recovered in the future. People who got their account recovered already once are scared to get recovered again in the future. This feeling of uncertainty and fear is detrimental to your game experience. Just because you were able to successfully recover your account doesn't necessarily mean that your account is safe from future recoveries. Sadly human errors lead to people getting recovered again and again by using the same information over and over. It's likely that different Jagex employees will handle your account recoveries or the same employee doesn't remember your case. It's crucial that past malicious successful recovery attempts get noted on your account. You can directly contact Jagex' support team through a support ticket. https://secure.runescape.com/m=ticketing/account_help_2014_nologin?cat=5
Before you fill that out, ask yourself what information the "hacker" likely has and determine the information that's impossible for the "hacker" to know. Important account information includes: Your account creation date, your (creation) ISP, your IP, your payment method and any information regarding your previous payments, your country, your name, your postcode, previous passwords, previous IPs, previous ISPs and previous bank pins. Really spend your time on this. A lot of things can be leaked out there seemingly invisible such as your account creation date by checking when you were first tracked on CML or by analysing your Runescape Twitter. On the ticket under Additional information specifically explain your case and ask them to put a note on your account. Tell them the time frame of when your account was compromised, tell them what information is now permanently compromised and tell them what information is impossible to be compromised. For security reasons don't type out past passwords or bank pins on the ticket. Having this note on the account will not only remove the feeling of uncertainty and fear, but it will also rule out possible future human errors.
3.6 Keep your Account Secure
This was already covered in point 1, but I want to reiterate that a very important part of keeping your account secure is to change your password and bank pin periodically (like every month). This is especially important after your account got maliciously accessed or recovered. Just imagine being a Jagex employee reviewing a recovery attempt. When there are only 2 passwords on an account (one being compromised, the other one being the new one you set after you recovered your account or changed your password), you're more likely to grant a recovery request with that one compromised password compared to a recovery request where there's a long path of footprints of previous passwords which the "hacker" doesn't know and didn't provide.

koods reacted to Stilerion in Loot from 90->99 Magic & 90->99 Ranged In One Week
Thought I'd post this for some people to have a laugh at my expense.
Thanks to @Why Try Guy motivating me in competition, and @Corbula's magic skilling competition, I finally got 90->99 magic! I'm currently sitting pretty @ 3rd place in the competition ( @koods also got 90->99 this comp, and he took my 2nd place spot!).
Once I got 99 Magic, I couldn't bring myself to keep grinding magic XP while my ranged was also sitting @ 90. I figured if I was gonna keep spending time at monkeys, I should be chinning instead of doing magic, for best account progress. So I did!
Big disclaimer: I did this extremely inefficiently. For me AFKness is the real value, so that means as few clicks as possible. That meant that rather than standing in the corner of the room and doing the walk thingy to stack the monkeys, I just stood with auto retaliate and let the monkeys come to me. This dramatically reduces XP rates by like 20-30% (and thus increases costs by that amount), but that's super worth it if you're someone who only wants to click on their client ~once every 6-10 mins or so (rather than having to click multiple times per minute).
So anyway here's the supplies use for 90->99 Magic, and 90->99 ranged...
