How feasible is making decent $US on runescape?

Via luring and Pking especially. I am currently investing in an account with hopes of luring stupid kids for their phats.

Haha i don't play RS anymore much because of the fact that I am 20 years old. I am opening up an internet marketing firm and just don't have the time.... BUT still PK on f2p sometimes to get some full rune sets and make a couple bucks in real US cash...

I've played since runescape started way back on RS classic and have always loved pking. I was crushed when they did away with it, but even though I'm 20 I had to square up and check it out when they re-released Pking and free trade.

Actually Feb 1st was the day they did brought back the wildy I think, which is my birthday, believe it or not!!!!

So yah, enough rambling (sorry I'm stoned), do you think its feasible to actually lure phats and make thousands of US money luring and pking?

The idea of making money on a fun little video game entices me, even if its only enough to pay for membership, lemme know your thoughts!

 

This all depends on how good you are at luring.. its definitely harder than it looks.

If you somehow turned out to be extremely successful, like say Cls product for an example, then yes you could literally make tens of thousands of dollars playing RS. But you have to constantly be pulling in mass wealth, and rare items. You could make good money PKing too if you got really good, did high risk fights, and lost very little.

It all depends on your skill & luck though. Just sell whatever you gain from PKing luring and you are bound to make atleast a few bucks though.

 

Right on man, and yes as an internet marketer who's pretty good at business type stuff I'm pretty sure I could hustle some children out of their party hats. Haha I appreciate the support, I will be making a website about runescape luring (don't worry I won't reveal any secrets that might be given to me in the future, just common lures). This website will be created for fun, to be informative, and to advertise on like hell lol.

Kids will click all over those p2c ads....

 

Luring is harder than it looks; it's very difficult to pick the victims with the right intelligence level. The first few weeks you go P2P pking, you WILL LOSE most fights. It's the people who keep at it relentlessly, learning the tips and tricks, who make any money doing it. Staking is shit. It's all luck and you will get tricked/lose.

Also, keep in mind a million gp is only worth a couple of dollars these days.

 

Sadly, not even that. A million GP is like 50 cents or something horrid like that.

 

Yes its very cheap these days, I remember autoing so many windows with aryan back when it went for like $5 a mill if i remember correctly. I made bankkk and i was only a youngster back then. Funny, runescapes having a recession just like us in the grand ol' United States lol!

Still if I lure a phat one day thats striking gold. I've seen those small little pixels go for upwards of $1,000 real, in your pocket, type of money. Legal US tender. That's nothing to turn your nose up at. That kinda money could get me a couple of the programs I need to get my business off the ground.

That and pking to make money, best side hustle I can think of. Sure beats drug dealing lol....

 

I'd say luring is definitely not easy if you've just started it. You WILL fail and put off alot of people during your lures. Being a good socialiser/having good talking skills really help if you're trying to lure. People have attempted to lure me alot (Mainly because I own a white partyhat). The most common mistake I see them doing is rushing their victim's too quickly/forcing things onto the victim.

Albeit, like performing real life magic tricks or illusions, once you get good at luring, you'll only get better. You'll start succeeding more often, and when you fail, you tend to take notice of that little bit of details RIGHT before it does. You tend to come up with more brilliant ideas aswell.

You will also be able to tell how lures are done on video just based on how many people they are and how the victim's react to the lure. I managed to figure out Cls Product's lure before his method was leaked. Although mine was slightly different, the key points are spot on.

Just 2 cents from my experience luring.

 

I'm pretty good with socializing considering I'm a salesman and a lifelong hustler. I plan to video myself to make commentaries for youtube and so I can see where I messed up and study the videos.

Don't get me wrong, I've done smaller lures like full rune trim and some trimmed wizard robes, and countless rune sets. I know its not much but if you can do it to someone with trim you can do it to someone with a phat.

 

You have no idea how difficult it is to break people with phats. My best lure ever was a red h'ween mask, and I've lured 2 of them. Rest are mostly Santa's and green h'ween masks. There is a very fine line between luring partyhats and santas/masks.

Generally people with partyhats are the geniuses who know how to merch and whatnot. While people with lower rares tend to be.. less sharp.

 

I've made around 700m via luring. I haven't delved into it tho, so you could make ALOT more.

Learn SE.

 

When you fail lures, don't say "Oh he was just too smart" or blame it on the other person, just try and work out what you personally did wrong in the situation and how you can improve or change your methods for more success.

Good luck with luring because it is quite difficult.

 

@JFated, Oh I understand man, it's a completely different ballgame. But like YOU said, it's all about practice. I'm an entreprenuer so I got a bit of money to blow until I get the right skill set together

@Rasheed, Right on man, I'm trying to get to that level, thats like $500US right there. What is SE?

@Armada Yessir thats why I'm filming myself. Thanks for your good wishes haha.

 

SE is social engineering.

 

F2p pking won't make you any money at all, at least not enough for it to be worth it.

 

I know I've just been f2p pking because I've been autocliking mages, might as well not pay if I'm just auto-alching.... spend the money on runes

Once I find and purchase the right account I plan to hop feet first into the new crazy world of p2p pking,

 

too hard

 

Too hard? I am the kind of person who believes you can do anything you put your mind to with a little bit of salesmanship and a whole lot of dedication.

 

By the way, I made almost 300m on a low level p2p range pure.

 

right on boss, I'm enjoying this thread here about your come ups. I'm diggin this post guys post your pictures and stuff. I might have a pure ready to buy that can get me in Mayhem Makers or maybe Higher Force immediately, this has been my dream since i started playing runescape. MM is legendary and if anyone can help me make mad dough on this game its them!.

 

Luring with the right SEing skills will get you some good loot for sure
