I have 4 million and as usual, I want more.


So I have two options:

1. Go merchanting.

2. Do Barrow trips.


I was doing fine with merchanting, until Barrow pieces became hard to buy and sell. I don't fancy buying loads of stuff at small prices then selling it all at once. Any suggestions?

If I do Barrows, I'll probably need to buy Prayer Potions and Fire Bolts (with Chaos Gauntlets). But am I likely to gain money back from 4 million worth of Barrow trips?

Barrows. You only need like, 3-4 pots pet trip, and you get pretty good mage/hp exp as well.

I'm not sure if I'm ready to risk everything I have though. I originally wanted more money so that I could get 85 Slayer. Now that I look at my funds...

It took me like ~1K Lobsters (not sure) to get about ~400K Slayer Xp. Getting to 85 Slayer would require a further ~2.7mil Xp. For security reasons (mine), I'll just assume 1K Lobsters would give me 200K Xp. It would take me 13.5k Lobsters, which is about 3375k.

So now I have more options for you to help me choose.

1. Get 80k essence and go on the wild ride.

2. Spend 2mil on Prayer Pots, 2 mil on Runes, then hope for something good.

3. Slay like there's no tomorrow.

Haven't got anymore suggestions.

Edit: Another matter. I've bought and tested a whip. The only difference I can see is one more max damage. Is it really worth for it's higher accuracy?

Well, ess is guaranteed money, but you could go insane. I still say Barrows, it's lively, you should easily restock yourself with missle runes, and you get mage/hp exp.

I think I'll just spend about a million on Barrows first. Then see what I'll get.

Thanks to all.

Buy tons of ess and craft nats using abyss. Buy like 10 glories so you don't have to keep charging.

Abyss is a steady way to earn, but not the best.

Essence merchanting? I've tried it before I came to RuneNews, too much trading, too much typing, scammers and too much noobs.

All I really need is about 3.4mil more to buy Barrow items. But that's just a bonus. Otherwise, I'll keep slaying.

merchanting is the safer way, but can yields no experience, while barrows can earn huge pay days and no paydays
