Tally Ranger Guide! ~ Free Runescape Money Making Guide

This is a rather novel guide posted on our forums in the first GOTM, it was something I'd never seen before so I thought you guys may find it interesting.

All credits for this guide to Silent Shot of www.blurite.com forums!

Hello everybody! This is my first guide attempt ever, and it will be about a lesser known pker, the Tally Ranger.

You: But Silent, what is this "tally ranger"?
A talisman ranger is a pker that uses the Runecrafting staff much like a Range 2h uses his 2h, because it has a +33 strength bonus with NO requirements. This allows for an even lower combat level because it does not require 40 attack, which causes 13 combat levels.

You: O.K., but whats a Runecrafting staff?
The Runecrafting staff is a staff, (duh) that is a reward from the Runecrafting Guild Minigame. It costs 10,000 tokens and can be used with a any talisman to become what we will be using. Depending what talisman used, it can be used the same as a tiara as long as it corresponds with the type of altar.

Well, lets get on with the guide!

[Part One] Starting off

Once you finish the Tutorial, head right to Bob's Axes and take a free sample of a Mining Pick. Then if your up to it, go complete the SoS and the SoPS. That will bank you 20k, cool gloves and boots, along with 1k xp in any skill. I recommend using the lamps on either Runecrafting, or Range.

Mining

This section is where you will rake the money in! So head to Varrock West mine and mine clay until level 20. Be sure to bank it all, because it is around 100gp each. After 20, go just across the way to the Varrock East mine. There are 4 iron spawns there, but it can be very competitive. World hop until you find a world where you can get some iron without too much of a hassle. Just as before, bank all the ores, iron has been rising lately so its a great source of cash. You can make around 8.4k in one load. Continue this until you have around 200k.

[Part Two] Runecraft

This might as well be the hardest and tedious part of the process. The guild requires you to have 50 Runecrafting to enter.
I have found the easiest way is to just go 1-50 on air runes. Easier said than done. After Runecrafting level 44, you will make a profit of 15 gp per essence you craft. So, 15 x 28 = 420gp per run, which is not the best, but it will make you break even with the essence you purchased, if not a profit. This step should take around 6 hours if you pay attention and don't get distracted.

[Part Three] The Great Orb Project

So, you have 50 Runecraft and need the staff. This is the most fun you will have during this process. Playing a minigame. There are two strategies for play. The first one can be very fast, or very slow. This method is playing normally. I tend to see the 1337 players join the yellow team more often than the green. If you win, you get a max of 750 tokens. If you lose you get 60 tokens. The other option is to get 3 others together, and have a tie world. You do this by yellow winning the first three altars, then green getting the last 3. and every game you win 405 tokens. The second way is guaranteed in a certain amount of time, while the first could take you days, or a couple hours.

Buying the staff

The staff costs 10,000 tokens I've said before, but you might want to get 10,050 so you can get a talisman to put on the top. To attach a talisman, you need to go to the corresponding altar, and use the staff on the altar.
NOTE: Do NOT use the law talisman because it has NO attack bonuses because then it wouldn't be allowed on Entrana.

[Part Four] Combat!

Melee

From now on, it is easy sailing. If you have gotten this far. I congratulate you. We will start with Melee. For melee, all we need is 60 strength. Easy as pie. Strength shouldn't take longer than 4 hours. Firstly, go to the G.E. and buy some trout. Around 200 should do it. Equip only your talisman staff and maybe a strength amulet, and head to the Goblins in Lumbridge. For some extra cash, pickup the talismans they drop for they are all 1k+ each. From 1-30, train here eating as you need, or you could just die and come back because you have one (or two) item(s) equipped. After 30 strength, got to the men in edgeville.You will be here until Also same as them, pickup the talismans plus the bones because it is very close to the bank. Bones are 100 gp each and a guaranteed drop. Stop at 60 because this is supposed to be a low leveled pker.

Range

Guess where were going? Chickens! But as before, go to the G.E. and buy 2k iron arrows and a short bow. Now. you can choose to get 30 or 40 range. I suggest 40, but if your lazy, you can do 30. It's still effective. Since your not training it past 40, it would be a waste of time and money to buy higher level arrows, bows and Armour. So go to the Chickens bringing trout, your bow and arrows. This should take no less than 30-60 minutes.

[Part Five] PKing

Now the fun begins. To start buy the following items.

Coif x10
Leather body x10
Chaps x10
Iron full helm x10
Boots x10
Vambraces x10
Highest level bow x10
Adamant Arrows x1000
Swordfish x500
Strength Potion x 30

I know that's a lot, but you wont have to buy anything for awhile. So withdraw one of every armor piece, one strength potion, your talisman staff, and the rest swordfish. Also remember your arrows. Take about 100 with you each trip.

ALWAYS GO ON A BOUNTY WORLD +1, AND NEVER HAVE ANY ONE ITEM WITH YOU MORE THAN 1,500 GP OR YOU WILL LOSE YOUR STAFF!!!

O.K. now, here is a video demonstrating what this bad boy can do.
