My RuneScape Money Machine Finally Started Working (#2)

What I worked on this week

I started with Thieving, then changed direction almost immediately. Unlocking Invention required level 80 Smithing, Divination and Crafting, so I spent the week working through those levels instead.

• I trained Smithing from 71 to 80 and finished one of the three Invention requirements.
• I trained Divination from 16 to 74 and unlocked stronger Signs of the Porter along the way.
• Mining went from 75 to 84 while I tested an AFK money maker that fit around work.
• Crafting stayed at 76, but I ended the week with roughly 200,000 bonus XP ready for the final levels.

The Phasmatite mining method

The method uses perfect juju mining potions, Phasmatite stone spirits and Grace of the Elves. The stone spirits give me extra ore, the potion refills my Mining stamina, and the porter charges send everything to my ore bank. Once it was running, I only had to check it roughly every 15 minutes.

• By the end of the week, I estimated the mining had brought in about 50M GP before costs.
• Grace of the Elves should keep being useful when I move on to Archaeology and other gathering skills.

Where I spent the money

I sold a few old items from my bank and put most of the money straight back into the account.

• Grace of the Elves cost about 39M GP and made the mining method possible.
• Luck of the Dwarves cost about 42M GP and gave me a tiny chance of finding a Hazelmere's signet ring while skilling.
• I unlocked Managing Miscellania, assigned the workers and put about 5M GP into the coffers.

The money machine is finally on

By the end of the week, several of the systems from Episode 1 were finally running.

• Managing Miscellania is funded and collecting resources while I am logged out.
• My Player-Owned Farm now has crystal chinchompas, spiders and my first yaks in the breeding pen.
• Player-Owned Ports is still moving forward in the background.
• Next I need to finish unlocking Invention, train it quickly and start building the first machines.
