Other Methods

Make red dye. You will need about 5 coins to start but it is very easy. First go to the southeast part of the mining area in Varrock. Once you’ve picked all the redberries off the two bushes, switch worlds. Return and repeat until your inventory is full. Then go to the bank in east Varrock and bank all your redberries. Keep doing that until you have 100-1000 redberries. When you’re satisfied, go to Draynor Village, take out all of your money and as many redberries as you can (not noted), and go to Aggie the witch (the building next to the wise old man’s house). Right click on Aggie the witch and click make-dyes. Repeat until all your redberries are dyes. Bank you dyes and repeat the whole process again if desired. You can sell the dyes at the Grand Exchange for about 1000 coins apiece.

Sell steel nails. One steel bar can make 15 nails, and one nail sells for 34 gp at the Grand Exchange. But turning a bar into nails, you can increase its value to 510 coins. Since members use steel nails to make the majority of the things in their houses, nails always sell quickly.

Go to the Cooking Guild if your level is high enough. Get grapes and sell them in the Grand Exchange for around 1,200gp each. Cooked apples are around 200gp. To get more money, you have to bring a bucket with you. Make apple pies (all of the ingredients are in the guild) and sell them raw for around 1k each

Misthalin Training Centre of Excellence Method (10,000 gp)

Go to the Misthalin Training Centre of Excellence. You can get here by heading North from the Barbarian Village, which is just across the River Lum, right past the West Entrance of Varrock.

Enter the basement of this building and you should now be in a jail. Read all of the plaques on the jail cell doors, and then talk to the nearby Security Guard to gain access to the Training Center, which is up the steps right next to him.

Talk to the Professor in the Training Centre and complete the written test he gives you. Talk to the Professor once you are done with the test. He should give you two Experience Reward Lamps upon completion of this test.

Go back down to the jail and locate an open cell. There should be a poster which you can pull back to gain access to the Stronghold Dungeon. Go through it and ignore the muggers and Cockroach monsters.

Head to the Northeast and locate a set of stairs. Climb up these stairs to get to the upper floor. Go to the left side of the room and pull the lever to unlock the door in the previous room you were in.

Go through the door you just unlocked by going back down the stairs and heading through the door.

Locate the chest on this floor. It is at the end of a small side tunnel that leads east. Open the chest to find 10,000 coins and the safety gloves!
