Here is just a little quick money making tip for newbs. And I mean “newb” in the new player kind of way and not “noob” in the annoying idiot kind of way. This technique does not generate massive money… at least not for mid to high level member players. But it should provide a tiddy income for low level free players (level 10 and below) and help them get the nominal cash they require. Plus it will provide a little combat experience to boot. Best of all, this technique is available to free members and can be useful for members too.

Go after feathers. There is a chicken farm just north west of Lumbridge and one just south of Faladore. There is also one north east of Lumbridge on the other side of the River Lum. Killed chickens usually leave multiple feathers, bones, and meat. Best of all, feathers are stackable and only take up one inventory slot. In just fifteen minutes even a new player can collect as many as two hundred feathers. Feathers are very sought after as they are used a lot in fishing and fletching and to a lesser extent in other skills. They usually sell immediately on the Grand Exchange for 16 gp a feather. That is a quick thousand plus gold pieces in fifteen minutes. Yeah, that is piddly for higher level players, but the newbs can do quiet a bit with it.

While you are killing chickens make sure you collect the eggs [GEC 53 gp] that respawn in the same area. You can also sell the raw chicken meat for around 160 gp too. But eggs and meat will take longer to sell on the Grand Exchange than feathers. Also, if you are a true new player and very low level you might as well bury the bones [GEC 168 gp] and get the prayer experience while you are at it.

Anyway, that was just a little newb advice. If you want to make gold even more quickly, I would recommend collecting swamp tar (only available to members). Selling for around 256 gp each on the Grand Exchange, swamp tar can literally earn a player a small fortune in a short period of time.
