Okay, this may seem a little nooby, but u can actually make a good amount of easy money by selling colored goods, like capes and goblin mail, or even just the dyes themselves. You will need lots of red berries, Woad leaves, onions, and coins (don’t worry, the product will more than pay for itself.)
There are a lot of red berries south of Varrock near the larger mining area. Go pick a ton of those and put them in your bank. Ok, you’re set with those. The woad leaves are in the Fallidor park. Go to the farmer in the house at the east side of the park and ask him about woad leaves. He will ask you for a price, offer 20 coins, he won’t give u any for 5 or 10, and he will give you 1 for 15, but he will give you 2 for 20 for your generosity. There is an onion patch north of Rimmington, so they should be easy to get. As for capes goblin mail, you can kill any highway man for capes, and goblins will drop goblin mail sometimes. If and when you fight the highway men and goblins, remember to pick up everything (well, you don’t have to pick up the bones). You can sell the odds and ends you pick up for coins, and all those coins begin to add up. Besides, you will be glad you did when you make your dyes.
To make the dyes, simply go to Draynor and take the berries, leaves, or onions, + 5gp ea to the witch in the square of buildings in the center of the town. It can be a little tedious getting the dyes, but it’s worth it. Once you have your dyes, you can go 3 ways:
Capes
Color all of your capes except for a few black ones, in case someone wants plain black ( don’t worry, you can color them later if no one wants them). Put all the capes in the bank, then withdraw 1 of each color, then note the rest. You should now have 7 capes of different colors, and 7 groups of noted capes. Now go to a bank somewhere, preferably one with a lot of people, and start selling colored capes 200-300 each. When displaying your capes, show the unnoted ones, then when they say which color and how many, switch them for the noted ones.
Goblin mail
You should keep all of your goblin mail brown (the way you found them) and color them later if asked to. This works best at the Goblin village north of Fallidor, where people will be doing the goblin diplomacy quest. You should look for people in highly populated worlds (not 1-10, those numbers are mainly traders). Tell people you are selling goblin mail, and sell for 150 each. If they come back asking you for a different color, offer to sell them the dye they need for another 100 per dye. Only offer them the three basic colors and tell them to combine to make new colors. If people ask for a specific color, offer the color for 300-350 each. The reason you can sell for so high (goblin mail is only about 50 at gen stores) is because you’re so far away from banks, and gen stores, and not many people sell them.
Another bonus to working in the village, is that between sales, you can fight the goblins and pick up the odds and ends they drop for even more cash and goblin mail. It may not sound like much of a benefit, especially to higher level players, but it’s a nice break from what you normally do, and again, all those little things add up.
Plain dyes
ONLY MAKE THE 3 BASIC COLORS! DO NOT COMBINE THEM!
I don’t think I can get any clearer than that. Trying to explain the difference in prices between the elementary and the secondary colors is too much to try hassling with. Go to a bank (preferably Varrock or Fallidor not in worlds 1-10) and sell for 150-200 each. Be sure you mention that combining colors will give different colors. Some people will be intrigued by this alone and will want to buy them for the sake of experimenting with combining the different colors.
I don’t know, maybe I’m just weird, but all 3 methods have worked great for me, I got over 10k after about 20 minutes. Please let me know if I need to clear anything up, I’m happy to receive compliments, suggestions, and complaints; there is always room for improvement!

A normal situation is one where each class’ main skill is about equal to one another. If there’s a huge difference in levels, the Triangle could fall apart. A difference in your primary skill’s level from about 5-10 could “tilt” the triangle.
——————————————————————————–
Why Does the Triangle Work?
The Combat Triangle was implemented to give each class a ‘fighting chance’ against one enemy, and a disadvantage against another. In short, this has to do with different skills, weapons and armor used by each class.
Rangers Defeat Mages
A Ranger is able to defeat a Mage because of the fact that their armor mainly consists of Leather, which will not conduct Magical attacks. Rangers can attack quickly from a distance, which is one of the Mage’s main specialties. Effectively, the Mage has lost it’s main advantages towards the enemy. Magical attacks are much slower and weaker than Ranged attacks, and Wizard Robes will actually lower the Mage’s Ranged Defense.
Mages Defeat Warriors
A Mage can defeat a Warrior in Battle due to the fact that a Warrior’s heavy plate armor will conduct Magic and the attacks will be stronger. Warriors are unable to attack from a distance like a Mage can, so while the fighter is trying to advance on the Mage, strong Magical attacks are causing big damage.
Warriors Defeat Rangers
Warriors are strong against Rangers because their plate armor will deflect the Ranger’s arrows and cause very little damage to the Warrior. The Archer has no way to stop the Warrior from attacking him, and Leather doesn’t protect well from strong physical attacks.
——————————————————————————–
Bending the Combat Triangle
It’s actually possible to “bend” the Combat Triangle so that the opposite of the above situations may occur. This requires patience and strategy, and may take several times to get it right.
Mage Defeating a Ranger
Normally, a Mage will be hunting for Warriors in the Wilderness, with the only worry of the occasional stray Ranger. Remember, a Mage can teleport if things are looking bad, so you’re granted an easy escape.
Armor: Bring some Wizard Robes, but if you feel too vulnerable bring a good set of plate legs too. Plate Legs do not penalize your magic attacks as much as Helmets or Plate Bodies, but be sure to teleport quickly enough or you may lose them. You can take along a shield too, but remember that they penalize your magical attacks.
Weapons: Bring a Staff of Fire because Fire spells are usually the most powerful, and the staff will cut down on the need to buy fire Runes.
Other Equipment: Take plenty of chaos and air Runes, as well as some Runes to Teleport, cast Bind and Curse. Air Runes are easy to craft, and Chaos Runes will respawn in the Wilderness. Also, bring some decent food, and optionally a Wizards Mind Bomb.
Strategy: The golden rule of killing a Ranger with a Mage is that if you can hit them, they can hit you. But, the longer the distance is between you and your enemy, the better chance of winning you have. So, keep a long distance, and mage him as fast as you can. Remember to set the spell as your default attack so you can quickly engage him. Don’t use your high level attack spells until last, when you’re sure you can finish him off.
Extra Tip: It’s often less costly to simply run away or teleport than wasting tons of Runes getting a useless kill that will give you at most a couple hundred arrows. Be sure it’s worth your time.
Warrior Defeating a Mage
Normally, Warriors wander the Wilderness looking for Rangers. Their strength is a great advantage.
Armor: Rather than using your expensive (and heavy!) set of plate armor, bring some leather armor instead. It provides excellent defense against magic, easy to craft, less costly to buy, and it also weighs less so that you can run for longer periods of time. You should also bring an Anti-Dragon Breath Shield, or a wooden one which respawns just north of Varrock.
Weapons: The best bet to defeat a Mage would be to use a Mithril Scimitar or an Adamantite Long Sword (better metal is good too!), because they have fast attack speeds and a decent amount of damage.
Other Equipment: The standard Warrior gear is always helpful, which includes some Strength Potions, and food such as tuna or lobsters. A so-called “defense cabbage” may also help.
Strategy: Make a character whose stats are: 40 attack, as high strength as you can make it, and 40 defense. Get 40 ranged, so you can wear full green dragon armor. Make sure your ranged doesn’t effect your combat level. Now the hardest part: Get 37 prayer! This will allow you to take half damage from all magical attacks in the wilderness! Now get a rune short sword, which attacks fast and an Anti-Dragon Breath shield, and you will be the perfect anti-Mager.
Extra Tip: Rush! Rush! Rush! You want to tank through this mage, and annihilate him. Take maybe half a second to gulp a strength potion, and then rush him.
Ranger Defeating a Warrior
My favorite combo. Archers are fun to use and can be lethal to warriors as well as mages in the right hands.
Armor: Green dragon, full, no exceptions. If you use a crossbow (bad idea!) then you may want to use a shield, but I strongly recommend you use neither a crossbow nor a shield.
Weapons: Take an Oak Longbow or Shortbow, as well as about 50 Steel arrows and 100 Bronze per trip.
Other Equipment: Depending on how much money you have, you may want to bring a spare bow or extra arrows. You should also bring some Teleport runes.
Strategy: Your stats, being a ranger, should be about 1 Attack, 40 Defense, 1 Strength, and 50-ish ranged. Now, give or take 10 levels and you are still a ranger! Now get 20 or 25 magic! This may seem like a shock to you, but if you want to beat warriors consistently, you need it! 25 Magic if you want to Teleport; 20 if you aren’t worried about that. What does 20 magic do? Bind! Bind can stop a warrior in his tracks while you range him! Now, if you want to Bind him from far away, then longbow, up close? Shortbow. Plan accordingly.
To make a good PKer of any sort, you need to be good at cooking and fishing, as well as RuneCrafting. You also need a great deal of money to buy your supplies. And, if you want to beat ANYBODY in the Wilderness, your stats will have to be 99 of everything. So go get em… one PKer at a time
