How to make loads of money in Runescape - no scam!

The answer is CANNONBALLS. They sell in the grand exchange for 380gp and the raw materials (iron ore and coal) cost about 186gp per ball (one iron makes 4 balls). If you work in Port Phasmatys where the forge is one click from the bank you can make around 60gp per second, and you get smithing XP as well. If you can stand the boredom you can make around 1 million gp in an evening. You have to buy the materials, mining that much coal would take a week!

If you start without much money you'll need to teleport back to the Grand Exchange several times to cash in and get more material. An Ectophial is needed to teleport back to PP.

For a variation you can smelt the ores using Superheat Item and level up magic at the same time. (Economics are trashed unless you can make your own Nature Runes.) Superheat seems faster than a forge and you can stand in the bank and do it.

The surprising bit is that Port Phasmatys forge is pretty much unused, so not many players do this.
