This guide is a walkthrough that will show you how to make money in Runescape using doing a simple little banana picking quest several times over. It can be done with ANY Runescape character, regardless of combat level and skills.
Picking Bananas for Wealth!
I know it sounds a little lame to talk about banana picking but this is probably the easiest method of making money in Runescape when you don't have any skills yet. The quest pays you 30gp per run which does not sound like much but I'm going to show you how you can repeat it really quickly. In on hour you can easily make at least 1000 gold pieces.
First of all you need to find Port Sarim.
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 around the back of Luthas' house just up the path. There are many trees in the plantation and each tree holds around 5 bananas. You simply click the tree to pick the banana and unlike most other skills in Runescape, this does not take any time - it's instant, which is why this task can be very lucrative.
Click on 10 bananas and then head back to Luthas' house. The crate is just around the front of the house. You need to fill the crate first before you can get your payment from Luthas. Right click on the crate to fill it. Don't make the mistake I did of clicking on the bananas, because they are food and you will eat them! The crate needs 10 bananas to be considered full.
Once the crate is full, go back to Luthas and speak to him. Once he gives you the payment, speak to him again to repeat the task. Don't forget this part otherwise you waste time running around! Now simply rinse and repeat and within an hour you will have 1000gp or more depending on how quickly you do it.
This is such an easy method that you can make yourself popular in the game by teaching other people how to do it too. If you see other newbies, show them how to make money in Runescape with this quest.
