oh- and a post note
i dont have anything worth selling, spent to much money raising my fletching and mage.
all i have right now is 796k
you cant buy coal for 30gp -.-
Well since you are obviously a member and I have never been a member it’s kind of hard for me to give you advice in some ways, but, I have been playing runescape for a couple years and I can mine runite ores and I can smith them and I do make a lot of gold pieces doing smithing (mostly off of selling addy & rune items) Since you can’t do that yet, I’d recommend buying iron ores (or mining them yourself if you really want to) but it’s rather easy to buy iron ores for less than 100 each (even on forums). Then buy (or mine) coal for 150 (low)-200 (high) each and smelt into steel bars. If you want to save on # of coal you use by half, use the blast furnace. You could also superheat them with nature runes but I’d not really recommend that for steel, I think it wastes too many too quickly. Anyways you could also just buy the steel bars for 500 (low)- 600 (high). I advise you to make cannon balls with the steel bars that you either buy or smelt. Cannons sell from 500k from others up to about 750k from the shop. 4 cannon balls are made per steel bar and each cannon ball sells from about 180-220 each sometimes up to 250 each. Anyways, I know several guys that use cannons to train range and slayer and they can use about 6000 cannon balls per hour each and they paid me 600+ each steel bar. I made 3mil profit by the time I was 42 smith by selling 5k steel bars. They got pretty good monster drops often and instead of buying all that stuff why don’t you try to earn some of it? I know that getting a dragon chain is pretty rare but you could try keep trying to get it from a drop. I know they had tons of dmeds in all their time trying to get a d chain. They also went out and fought against dragons and then crafted the hides and high alced em or sold sets to rangers. I am a bit jealous that members can actually make a profit off of low level smithing cannon balls because I’ve spent well over 60mil gp on getting my smithing level up into the 90’s, but now that I am in the 90’s (and now that I also got my mining up to be able to mine runite ores too), smithing rune stuff is very profitable. Those high level combat guys that I knew often had more than a dozen sets of rune armor from dragon/slayer drops and would trade some of it to me for my rune bars so that they could get rune kites made (as those weren’t dropped) then they would sell the full rune sets for 180-200k
Your fletching level is pretty high and I know that fletching can earn a lot of $ too as I have several member friends that are fletchers and they often try to buy my ores or bars so they can get more arrow tips. One of them is now 99 fletch though and is working on training her crafting level up. She makes power ammies for me out of the diamonds that I get and trades me addy arrows for the addy bars that I get so I can train my pure ranger. I have heard that with farming you can make over 200k hourly rather easily by buying seeds and selling certain stuff but I forgot the details and your farm level is really low anyways.
You’ll need about 20mil if you are going to buy d med, chain, legs, & sheild. As for the other stuff, check the forums and see if anyone selling cheap sale and then resell if for higher. I know lots of members that are into merchanting. You could go get clues and do them to get treasure trail stuff and sell that on busy nonmember servers or post of forums cause there are a lot of rich nonmembers that do read forums and buy stuff from them even though we can’t post… You could do some nature or law running, I hear they pay 10k+ per run. I usually pay 1k+ per run from fally or al karid furnace to the bank while helping me run ores, but it’s a shorter distance than rune running so it’s about the same $ earned I think.
Good luck, and Merry Christmas. I hope I’ll be leveling smith in next few hours of play. I’ve got about 2mil to spend today on ores & bars & coal. I spend about 4mil weekly on average lately on mostly ores and coal.

Hawaii’s Big Island is filled with supremely satisfying sights, but none is quite equal to Kailua Kona. Nestled at the bottom of Hualalai volcano and tucked along the picturesque shoreline of Kailua Bay, this stretch of vacationing heaven is just what you need to replenish your energy and recharge your soul.
Not to be confused with Kailua of Oahu, Kailua Kona is an attractive locale sometimes referred to only as Kona. If you can keep all of that straight (it’s really not too hard), you’ll be free to discover everything offered here, and we promise it’ll be worth it.
Start out by exploring the main street, Ali’i Drive, where you’ll get a taste for the history of this region as a playground for kings and later on, a site for sea fishing and missionary work. Modern conveniences now add to the flavor, so be assured that you’ll see plenty of grocery stores, shopping opportunities, and restaurants. The Ali’i Gardens Marketplace is the location for all the Hawaiian arts and crafts, Kona coffee, and fresh produce that you’ll want to sample while you’re here, so make some time to soak it all in.
Kailua Pier is a must-see in order to gain a true perspective of your surroundings. Watch the sunset from your perch on the seawall, or charter a boat for some angling in what are supposedly some of the best game-fishing waters around. In fact, every summer this is the site of the International Billfish Competition, so grab a rod and reel if this is your kind of thing.
From the pier, you might have caught a glimpse of an interesting landmark; further investigation will reveal to you that this is King Kamehameha Kona Beach Hotel, a place that is available for a closer look. Head over there to see the well-restored religious site that now exists on the grounds of the hotel and is open to the public on a daily basis. Historical walking tours will reveal to you the secrets of this worshipping site and explain the significance of the tall statues. Luaus are also held nearby, so make this the spot to uncover Hawaii’s authentic past.
If you’d like a calm beach to enjoy some leisurely activities upon, look no further than Kamakahonu Beach right next door. Go for a swim, rent some snorkel gear, or guide a canoe down the sandy slope and into the waves for an adventurous tour of the shoreline. Shallow waters and soft sand make for great conditions for all sorts of activities, but don’t be surprised if you end up sitting back for a long-overdue snooze in the sun. Bring the sunscreen and a towel, and the rest will take care of itself.
If your rest amps you up for a bit more historical sightseeing, then you’ll want to check out Hulihe’s Palace just down the road. Built in 1838 by Governor John Kuakini, this long-ago vacation home now operates as a museum. The interior has been restored to its original state, and several artifacts are under display. Free monthly concerts are also held here, so it’s really quite the place to continue to educate yourself about Hawaii while having fun as well.
To round out what is looking to be a distinctive vacation, be sure to plant yourself in the kind of lodgings that will increase your pleasure factor rather than bring it down. You might not realize it, but this cozy area of the Big Island is packed with vacation rentals that range from luxury condos to romantic, beach side villas. Choosing a rental property over a hotel usually means that you’ll have access to a greater supply of amenities and probably a bit more privacy, so it’s worth looking into.
Whatever you decide to do, you’ll surely be enjoying yourself in Kailua Kona. Improve your knowledge of Hawaiian history, stroll the beach with some delicious shaved ice in hand, or reconnect with that special someone as you recline on your lanai while the sun goes down. This is the kind of escape you’ve probably been dreaming about, so get the planning process started today.
Go online to check out all the Kailua Kona Vacation Rental options, and prepare to say goodbye to the mainland for a few precious, rejuvenating days.

Spring has sprung, Easter is just around the corner. One of the most celebrated holidays is Easter and part of the reason why this holiday is loved is the food associated with it. If you are hosting an Easter dinner with your friends or family this year, here are some good tips for some delicious Easter recipes.
Maple Syrup Ham and Sweet Potatoes with Marshmallows
One of the most requested types of food to eat at Easter is ham and you can sweeten up the taste of it by adding some tasty maple syrup. While your store bought maple syrup should work, try to purchase maple syrup that is 100% pure and not made from corn syrup. Adding pure maple syrup will add a sweet, delicious taste that your friends and family will love.
You can easily accompany your maple syrup ham with some tasty sweet potatoes smothered in miniature marshmallows. Sweet potatoes will be your maple syrup ham’s best friend. For an extra treat, add miniature marshmallows and you will definetly get some smiles from children and adults alike.
Easter Bunny Cookies
Even though chocolate bunnies are pivotal to Easter, cookies can also be an excellent treat. Just like Christmas cookies are fun to make and yummy to eat, so are Easter Bunny cookies. Most grocery stores, discount stores, and craft stores sell Easter Bunny cookie cutters to make your favorite chocolate chip or sugar cookie into some fantastic Easter Bunny shapes.
Easter Egg Cup Cakes
Easter Egg cup cakes are an awesome way to add enthusiasm to the holidays for your children. Easter Egg Cupcakes are an easy and fun way to bring color to any Easter dinner dessert. Instead of using cup cake holders, try to use small waffle cones to hold your cup cake mixture. Once baked, add coloring, sprinkles, candy, etc. to your creation.
Easter Bunny Carrot Cake
Easter Bunny carrot cake is an awesome way to add color and excitement for the whole family. What goes better with bunny rabbits than carrots and a yummy carrot cake goes with any Easter dinner. You can easily purchase a carrot cake and decorate the top by hand. Many people create their own frosting adding food coloring to color the carrot cake to look like an Easter egg.
Easter Cocktails
For those adults that like to top off their dinner with a delicious alcoholic beverage, there are many colorful cocktails that compliment the mood of any Easter dinner. For example, certain liquors come in various colors such as grenadine for rose, blue Curacao for cerulean and mixing clear liquor with assorted fruit juices for multicolored Easter drinks. For those that prefer a cocktail sans the alcohol, it’s easy to add color to your event with a host of fresh fruit smoothies, just by adding fresh fruit with cream or milk. Some people even add some yogurt to the mix.
If you are looking for a great way to enjoy your Easter this year, follow the above Easter recipes.

When you first start your online business, the first and most obvious question you will ask yourself is…what am I going to sell? Points to consider when deciding the answer to that question are:
· Is it light and easy to ship? · Is it a digital good that is downloaded (e-book or software)? · Is it perishable or fragile? · Does it have to be seen and held (designer fabrics, perhaps) · Is there enough demand to make your venture profitable? · Does it have little competition from large online companies (niche products)?
The last two characteristics are the ones that can be hard to pin down. Here is a generally accepted method of arriving at an idea of how heavy the demand and competition is for a product.
If you have a special interest in some products that meet the above criteria, great, but don’t limit your investigation just to items you like. You are looking for a niche product with relatively good demand (enough to make it profitable), but without heavy competition.
One way to see what the demand is for products you are interested in is to look at search engines to see how frequently people search for the product you are considering.
The result of all this research should be that one or more products will fit into a niche market – products with some demand, and relatively little supply. For the best results, focus on one niche product category, and offer a wide selection. That way, you can become the best online source for that particular category. For example, instead of offering general craft supplies, offer the widest possible selection of needlepoint kits. This strategy will also allow you to rank higher in search engines because you can optimize your pages for fewer, more specific, keywords.

Another Mother’s Day has come around, giving us the chance to show our heartfelt appreciation for the special women in our lives. Mothers tend to be the center of our universe when we are young, as we depend on them for everything and they graciously provide for all of our physical and emotional need. But now that we are adults our relationships have changed. She’ll always be your mother, but now she’s also become a helper, a teacher, a friend and even a confidante. So we have even more reasons to be grateful and make this Mother’s Day as special as we possibly can.
And if you have children, it’s up to you to make sure that they have the help necessary to give mom the best gift ever. Kids love to make their mom happy on her special day, but sometimes it can be a little hard to get started. That’s why with these easy and cute ideas will be the perfect thing to thrill mom this Mother’s Day, and the kids will have fun providing her gift too!
<b>A Day on a Cruise Card</b>
Let’s face it, being a mom is hard work. That’s why practically every mom would like to take a relaxing cruise on the Mediterranean. Unfortunately, this may be a bit pricey for a child, but that doesn’t mean they still can’t create the sentiment. Have the child put together a “Cruise Photo Card” for mom, just make sure that there is an adult there to supervise the entire project. Give the child a piece of white construction paper and some crayons and have them draw their own luxury cruise liner. Make sure the ship includes all the usual luxury items, like a main deck, a pool deck, a first class deck, and so on. Draw the boat in the ocean, and then they can name the cruise ship something appropriate for mom. For example, make mom smile with the title of “Mom’s Dream Boat.” Then give them some pictures of family members to glue on various locations on the ship. For instance, you could stick a picture of dad on one of the cabin windows, put your dog on the main deck, and show mom relaxing by the pool. Then all you need is to help the child construct a nice note to mom on the picture relaying their happy wishes to her for Mother’s Day. And there you go. This can be a great craft project for children of all ages, as it doesn’t require too much skill. Now mom will have a wonderful keepsake to keep for years to come.
<b>”My Mom and Me” Teddy Bear Hug</b>
If the cruise ship idea isn’t your cup of tea, another option can be to create a teddy bear family. All you’ll need for this project will be two teddy bears (one small and one large), some ribbons, red construction paper, and some crayons or markers. Place the small bear next to the bigger bear, or in front of it, and then connect them with the ribbon. This symbolizes how mom protects and cares for them. You could even have them face each other. Then you can help (or at least supervise) as the child uses the construction paper to cut out the shape of a heart or a flower. On the construction paper shape have them write a loving message to their mom. Then, use some more ribbon to tie the message to the little bear, as if its giving the message to its bear mama. There is no mother whose heart won’t melt a little when she receives this gift from her little one. Remember, gifts built from scratch always mean more, especially when they are created by the children we love!
So there you go, with these easy to create Mother’s Day gifts, you can set the tone for the perfect day. Children don’t need to be great artists to melt mom’s heart, after all, neither of these ideas requires a lot of skill. And all they need is some basic items such as paper, crayons, and the timeless and adorable gift of a teddy bear!

Nothing says ‘home’ quite like the aroma of baked goods laced with cinnamon, and the scent of cinnamon makes any home smell fresh and inviting. While you may associate cinnamon scented ornaments with the holiday season, you can use them all year round to bring a fresh down home feeling to your kitchen, pantry or a sunny window. They’re easy to make and cheaper than store-bought fragrances that are full of chemicals and additives.
Gather your Supplies & Make Some Dough
You can whip up a batch of cinnamon dough ornaments with items that you have around the kitchen every day. Measure out one cup of cinnamon and one cup of applesauce. You’ll also need a larger plastic zipper-top bag, cookie cutters for whatever shapes you’d like to make, a pair of scissors and narrow ribbons for hanging your finished creations. If you want to add other decorative touches to your project, you’ll also need plastic craft eyes, latex craft paint, a fine tip artist brush, clear drying glue and faux gems and colored glitter.
The dough is very easy to make. Simply place the applesauce and cinnamon in the zip-up bag and need the mixture until a soft dough forms. As soon as the ingredients are well combined, the dough is ready to use. Roll it out on a cutting board to roll into pinwheels or cut into shapes. You can make whatever shapes or trinkets you can imagine. Cookie cutters in the shape of stars, animals, flowers or geometric shapes are just a few of the possibilities.
Cinnamon Scented Dough Ornament Ideas
Try making sparkling pinwheel ornaments to fill any room with the enticing aroma of cinnamon. Arrange your cinnamon ornaments in a pretty glass or ceramic bowl with a handful of cinnamon sticks or potpourri for a unique table top accessory.
To make the ornaments, start by rolling the dough out so that it is about one-quarter inch thick. Sprinkle your choice of colored glitter on top of the dough and roll it up tightly. Trim off the ends and slice the rolled dough vertically to make ornaments. Allow the ornaments to dry for at least twenty-four hours then display them in a bowl, glass vase, or clear coffee cup.
Make bears, stars, flowers, cats, dogs, cows and more with cookie cutters. Don’t limit yourself to cookie cutter shapes, however. You can cut out simple shapes like sailboats and birdhouses with a knife. Embellish cinnamon dough animals with plastic eyes and use thin licorice for whiskers, or you can paint features on the crafts with latex craft paint. Lightly press colored or metallic glitter into the dough while it is still pliable for stars, flowers or other shapes. Or, instead of glitter, add clear drying cement and affix faux gems after the dough has dried. You can also embellish your creations with buttons, beads, seashells and stones. If you want to hang your creations with ribbon, create a hole for the ribbon with an ordinary drinking straw. Always allow finished ornaments to dry completely before handing them. Hang groups of ornaments threaded with ribbon and use them as sun catchers in a kitchen window, or hang them from a door, a shelf peg or below a cupboard. When embellished with glitter or gems, they will add sparkle and the soothing scent of cinnamon throughout the house.

Canada Day, originally known as Dominion Day, is the anniversary of Canada’s independence from Britain. It is celebrated on July 1st, is a national holiday and is a great opportunity to have fun as a family.
Here are some things your family can do to celebrate Canada Day:
Fireworks celebrations are held in many locations to celebrate the holiday. Scan the newspapers to find out when and where they will be held. Often there are other events such as live music and craft shows before the fireworks show. If there are other family attractions nearby that you would like to visit, leave early and make a day of it.
A tour of historic Canadian places makes an educational Canada Day activity. If your town or one nearby has a good town website, it can be an excellent source of information about nearby historic places. Tours are often available for a small fee. Learning about your country’s history is a worthwhile way to spend the anniversary of its confederation.
Family outings are a Canada Day tradition. A picnic in the park is a great family activity for the day. Pack some sandwiches, drinks, and snacks. Load up frisbees, tennis racquets, and other sports equipment. Then head off to the park for a day of family fun.
A family camping trip would be a wonderful way to celebrate. It takes some planning, but camping is truly fun for the whole family. Be sure not to forget the insect repellent, sunscreen, lots of outdoor toys, first aid supplies, and plenty of food. Then take the camper (or tents if you really want to rough it) and head out for an adventure.
Bike trips through scenic areas are a nice way to celebrate while enjoying the country’s natural beauty. Canada is home to many bike trails, and Canada Day is a good opportunity to take advantage of them. If you don’t know where the nearest trail is, check with your local visitor’s center or do an online search.
Canada Day crafts are a creative way to commemorate the holiday. Many Canada Day festivals offer the opportunity to do crafts, but you can also do them easily at home if you wish. You can find plenty of ideas online for everything from handprint Canadian flags to maple leaf hats to Mountie door hangers.
Canada Day festivals are jam-packed with activities that the whole family can enjoy. But you don’t have to go to a festival to have a fun day. You can stay home and have your own celebration, or participate in outdoor activities that allow you to enjoy the abundant natural resources that the country has to offer.
If you sell crafts, then why not create gifts under 5 dollars? I know you think this is probably not worth bothering with, but this can be a great business model for this time of year.
Many people are feeling the pinch of this years economy, and some people I have talked to are not even bothering with gifts this year! So, you may have to appeal to a different market.
Instead of creating elaborate and expensive products, why not consider smaller items. Not only do adults shop at these craft shows for something unique but children also shop for their gifts as well. A friend of mine, gives her older children (10-12 years) some cash, and tells them to go off and shop when they go to a craft show. As a crafter, that has sold in many shows, I can tell you, there are a lot of kids in that age group shopping.
Here are 5 ideas:
1. Christmas ornaments, that are unique, but don’t take much time or materials to make, have a small Christmas tree and hang your ornaments on the tree.
2. Small craft kits, you can create from your leftover supplies. These are a great way for people to venture into crafting. Such as a package to make a tree ornament etc, in a small zip lock bag.
3. Craft CD’s.. You can get creative here. Spend the time and create a CD of craft ideas, and some of your own craft patterns. It will take some time in the beginning, but you can make and sell many copies of this CD and sell it for 5 dollars. Create a decorative cover for your CD and copy it. You could have a printed version in a binder, to give the customer an idea of what is on the CD. These make great gifts. The beauty of this, is you can sell many copies, and CD blanks are quite cheap now.
4. Grab bags, of supplies. Such as scraps for quilting, or enough leftover wool to make a scarf and directions. Leftover embroidery thread, and some embroidery cloth. Go through all your bins, and put together some items that can create a small craft, or like with like. This is a great way to use up your leftover supplies, that you were not going to use anyways. This is especially good for beading, and sewing. This gives your customer a chance to try a craft without the big expense of full package supplies.
One year, I had changed the type of paint I was using, and had many bottles of acrylic paint, that had been opened and partially used, but were still good. I then purchased a few bare wood items from the dollar store, one for each kit, such as frames, boxes, canvases, and created a craft kit for kids. I sold these for 5 dollars. I got rid of my leftover supplies, and yet someone else got to create something with them. I put them in see through zip lock bags, and had them in a large basket. I labeled the basket my “bargain basket”.
Everyone loves to look in my “bargain basket” This attracted people, and it also help me sell many of my other more expensive items. The “bargain basket” was a good leader and attracted many kids, who were looking for gifts under 5 dollars.
5. Make a DVD of you creating a craft. Most digital cameras can make movies now. A “how to” movie, and put a picture of your finished craft on the front of the DVD. Something simple. You can really put your computer to good use here. Once again, you can sell many copies of this for 5 dollars each.
Hopefully this give you some ideas for gifts under 5 dollars. As a crafter, you want to offer and sell your best crafts at craft shows, but sometimes you have to appeal to a younger crowd (kids) and also to people wanting something different for gifts, and don’t want to spend too much.
Having a “bargain basket” at a craft show, does NOT make you look cheap, it actually attracts people, and everyone loves a bargain. Plus this also helps pay the rent for the show. Those 5 dollars here and there add up quickly.
