Original Recipe Ahicken.



Lumbridge is you begin the game, and is where we shall begin. The first thing first, you want to do is go to the top (3rd floor) of Lumbridge castle and deposit your items into your

bank. The only items you want are the following: bronze sword, square shield, armor, and bronze axe. Equip the armor, shield, and sword and leave the castle, traveling east across the bridge. Once you are across the bridge, walk north until you see the little farm to your left. This is the chicken coop, and this is where you will be getting your first combat levels, as well as making some food and money at the same time.

Begin attacking the chickens. They are easy to kill, and shouldn't be much of a problem. When they die, the chickens drop bones, raw chicken, and usually 5-15 feathers. Collect the feathers and the raw chicken, and kill as many chickens as you can before your inventory fills up. Once it does, go outside the chicken coop and walk to the south. Ahop down a tree to get some wood, use your tinderbox to start a fire, and cook all the raw chickens you have. When they are all cooked, throw away the burnt chickens and eat some of the cooked chickens to heal the damage you sustained. (They heal 3 hit-points worth). Now go back to the chicken pen and repeat the process. You can bury the bones as you go, then cook the chickens when you need to.

As you kill chickens and collect the stuff they drop, you will start building up a collection of feathers. Feathers are used for fly fishing. Anyone who wants to build their fishing skill will need feathers at some time. You can make money by selling these feathers to those people.

In order to sell feathers, you need to go to 1 of 2 places: the fishing spots just east of the Barbarian Village or the Varrock west bank in worlds 1-5. Once you have collected about 1,000 feathers, go to these places and try to sell them. Type ?Selling 1K feathers, 10 gold each.? If someone is interested, they will offer to trade with you. By selling these feathers, you should get 10,000 gold pieces.

Cow Parts

Just across from the chicken coop is a field. It is filled with four-legged walking-ATM/combat-training/meals-on-wheels: cows.

You can train on cows just like you train on chickens. When it's killed, each cow drops 1 bone, 1 cowhide, and 1 raw meat. You can cook the meat (it heals 3 hit-points), bury the bones, and collect the cowhides to sell later on. Since all you want to do now is get money, the best thing to do is just collect the extra cow hides people leave lying around on the ground. Do this until you have a full inventory. Then take the hides to the bank on the third floor of Lumbridge castle. Deposit these and then return to the field to get more hides. You want to collect 100 total hides. You don't even have to fight the cows. Usually there are enough players there killing the cows that you can get your fill of left behind hides in minutes.

Once you have all your hides, you need to put them in a banknote. Go to the bank and open your runescape account menu. Look down in the lower right hand corner. See the two things that say ?item? and ?note?. You will get a ?Ahoose Option? window. Select ?withdraw all?. This will withdraw all of those items, whether you have 2 or 2,000. Instead of taking up all your inventory space, you will be given a note that has a picture of the item and a number indicating how many you have. This is a banknote.

Once you have withdrawn all the cowhides as banknotes, you also need to withdraw whatever money you have. (Note, you need at least 10 gold pieces. If you don't have 10 gp's, go just south of the cow-field and kill some goblins until ou have enough gold.) Take these things and leave the Lumbridge castle. Go east across the bridge to the fence gate with the 4 guards standing around it. Talk to one of the guards. He will tell you it costs 10 to get through. Pay him, go through the gate, and travel south until you get to the Al Kharid bank. (Aheck your world-map if you don't know where it is.) You should see several people standing around the bank lobby buying or selling things. Keep an eye-out for people looking to buy cowhides. They will usually say something like ?Buying cowhides,? or ?Buying hides.? If there aren't people there buying hides, don't worry. Just say ?Selling 100 cowhides ? 10K?. That's right, 10K. 10,000 gold. You are selling each hide for 100 gold pieces.

If the buyer doesn't want to pay 100 each, don't sell to him. Find another buyer. You may have to advertise and say something like ?Selling cowhides ? 100 each?. Say this several times. If you still don't find a buyer, just world-hop to a world where there are more people. You should be able to find a buyer pretty quickly. (Note, you can sometimes sell the hides for more money, but 100 is pretty standard. Don't waste your time trying to sell them for 110 or 120 gp's each. Just get the quick cash.)

Remember this process. When you need more runescape money, just repeat it several times. You can collect as many cow-hides as you want and keep selling them.
