Top 5 Ways to Make Money in the RuneScape Market (Sythe Market)

Hey guys,

Below are the top 5 ways I see people making money in the RuneScape market. I'm going to sort them by how big I think the market is in terms of transaction volume. I'll also provide a few ways you can get started. Did I miss anything or get anything wrong? Comment here!

1. Gold sales

• Legit players sell gold for real money, often when they're quitting
• Goldfarmers work in the game to acquire gold, then sell it as their daily job
• Merchants buy and sell gold, taking a margin from the buy and sell prices, as their daily job

2. Account sales

• Legit players sell their account for real money, often when they're quitting
• Botters sell accounts to legit players to buy and skip to exciting gameplay (PvM, PvP, Clan games)
• Botters sell accounts to goldfarmers to quickly bot high-profitability PvM methods like Zulrah or Vorkath which can produce 2M+ per hour

3. Powerleveling/questing services

• Sellers play the game on your account, often completing specific tasks to uplevel the account or unlock content, so that legit players can skip the grind
• Sellers offer instant upgrades (RuneScape memberships) that unlock content on accounts, often paid for with RuneScape gold
• There's interestingly someone offering money to a RuneScape pmod to report bots ([$500 donor] Looking for a PMod to help report in-game bots - Paying Generously [1000+vouchs]). I've never seen that before!

4. Scripts and bot sales

• Programmers sell custom scripts and bot clients to help people automate the game.

5. Name sales

• People buy and sell vanity in-game names
