How to Make Money in Runescape: 1000 Gold Per For Newbies

I am going to tell you how to make money in Runescape using a quest that is available to all members (free or paid). It doesn't require any fighting, or any skills so literally anybody can do this and make 1000gp an hour or more. You can make a lot more money than this with other skills but I'll save that for another guide :-)

Let's go Banana Picking!

What? Banana Picking? Yup sounds kinda weird but don't knock it because there aren't many other money makers that can earn you this much in such a short time with no skills. The quest is based on an island which you can reach by taking a boat tip from Port Sarim, which is a short walk from Lumbridge.

Starting Out - You Need to Find Port Sarim

I don't know where you are in the Runescape world so I'll give directions from Lumbridge which is the starting location for all players. Port Sarim is west of Lumbridge but the easiest way to find it is simply to follow the road North of Lumbridge and this will take you straight to Port Sarim.

Along the way you'll find yourself in a forrest which has loads of little level 2 goblins running around. These goblins drop money so if you dont have that 30gp that you need, whack a few of these goblins on the way through the forrest.

When you get to the dock at Port Sarim you'll see a sailor dressed in blue. Speak to him and he'll offer to transport you to the Island of Karjama for a fee of 30gp. Pay the fee and make the trip.

Working the Banana Picking Job

In front of the dock is a small house and inside the house is a man called Luthas. Speak to him to be offered the task.

The banana plantation is a short walk from Luthas' house, just up the path. There is no shortage of trees and each one has around 5 bananas swinging from it. Now here's the good part - usually in Runescape when you want to do something like cut a tree down or mine a rock it takes several seconds but banana picking is instant! So you can collect them really quickly.

Once you've picked your bananas you need to fill the crate before Luthas will pay you. The crate is at the front of his house and you can just right click on it to fill it up. It takes 10 bananas to fill the crate. make sure you don't click the bananas from your inventory because they count as food in the game and you'll eat them!

Once you've filled the crate go speak to Luthas to get your payment.

A Time Saving Tip

The crate needs 10 bananas and the slowest part of this quest is running back and forth from the banana plantation to the crate. If you clear out 20 slots in your inventory you can carry 2 crate fulls of bananas each time. So the method then becomes:

1) Pick up Quest
2) Get 20 bananas
3) Fill Crate
4) Speak to Luthas twice
5) Fill Crate
6) Speak to Luthas twice
7) Go back to Step 2

It's a bit tedious but in an hour you will have over 1000gp and with that money you can earn even more in other ways. I like this quest because anybody can do it and why don't you help another newbie by showing him how to make money in Runescape with this quest.
