text: Howdy, I used to play runescape quite a bit, I'de be more than glad to give you a hand.\n\n(I answered this question @ http://answers.yahoo.com/question/;_ylt=Alg0YK0hbWc5jXvi1QmpQHcjzKIX?qid=1005121002088 Earlier)\n\nI do know quite a bit about runescape cheating.. (I don't play anymore, so it's really not worth it to ask me much) but one thing you should do is head on over to the message board at http://www.kaitnieks.com. Probably the biggest cheating forum around for runescape; they have modified, deobfuscated versions of the clients, and scripts.\n\nFirstly, cheating on RuneScape will not have the police coming to your door.  But, jagex has the right to close and ban your account if you do get caught.\n\nWhen it comes to anything relating to "stat changers" "item makers" and the like, all of them are fake.  They are programs design to in some way steal your username and password in RuneScape.  (They will do this by asking for your username and password.  They will either 1. keylog it 2. have you mail it to them 3. make you send it via a web form) Take this as a warning, Jagex will not give you your items back if you get scammed this way, and yes, it's VERY common.  Jagex has little sympathy because this simply happens SO much.\n\nAlso, when it comes to "auto-fighters" "auto-miners" and the like, any program designed to do this cannot be trusted.  Even if the cheat is a real working cheat, it's FAR to risky.  There are chances the file is binded with an undetectable keylogger, so you can open the file, use the cheat, and be "hacked" without even knowing it.  Jagex has NO sympathy for this, you will not get your items back.  If jagex does catch you using a cheat, you will be banned, this is extremely easy for them to detect now because they are so used to it.  You again, will be banned with no chance of getting your account back.\n\nSo you want wealth and fame in the world of runescape?  I can still help you, right now.\n\nIn my own opinion, RuneScape is not 'intellectually' challenging -- Just time-consuming.  Your best bet it to work in one trade skill and specialize, just to make money, then "play the market". Buy low, sell high. You could end up buying and item for 100k, selling for 110k, and making 10k profit.\n\nIn the mean time, I can give you a link which will provide a handful of helpful tutorials to help you out.  This GameFAQs link should cover your beginner-to-advanced trade skills and combat skills.  (trade skills are how you make money in RuneScape).\n\nTrade skills, such as clafting, smithing, mining, fletching, etc. are the ways you can make money in RuneScape.  At the end of the day, items and money aren't the main part of runescape, ANYONE can easily die and lose everything.  Your main goal of upkeep is your character's skills (be it fighting or trade).\n\nhttp://www.gamefaqs.com/computer/online/game/562728.html
