Unbalanced Trade Removal:
From this moment on, no unbalanced trades may be made. This applies to every player, on every world, no matter if you are free-to-play or a member.
To read more about why we have made this change, please read the Development Diary: RuneScape vs Real-world Trading.
We would like to remind you that the Grand Exchange is a great option for buying or selling items, where you can purchase items at 5% above or below their market price. Additionally, balanced trades are still possible.
New 30,000gp Trade Margin!:
Note: The following changes only apply if you are on a members' world.
Today, we have made a change to the planned 3,000gp trade margin for today's release. Instead, we are basing your trade margin on the number of Quest Points you have, giving you more flexibility when making balanced trades.
Having read your Forum posts and noted all of your feedback, we have come to the decision that you should have a margin of up to 30,000gp!
Originally, the total value of any items being given in a balanced trade would have had to be within a margin of 3,000gp of the items being received. Instead, we are increasing this margin according to the number of quests you have completed. As an example, a player who has 150 Quest Points will be able to receive items with a market value of 21,000gp above or below the items they are receiving.
No matter how many Quest Points you have, it will take 15 minutes before your gp limit resets.
Any individual trade is limited by the lower of the two players' limits. For example, if a player with 100 Quest Points is trading with a player on 30 Quest Points, then both players will be limited to a 3,000gp difference every 15 minutes.
The table below will give you a rough idea of the value that applies to you.
| QP | Trade Margin |
| 200 or more | 30,000 |
| 190 | 28,200 |
| 180 | 26,400 |
| 170 | 24,600 |
| 160 | 22,800 |
| 150 | 21,000 |
| 140 | 19,200 |
| 130 | 17,400 |
| 120 | 15,600 |
| 110 | 13,800 |
| 100 | 12,000 |
| 90 | 10,200 |
| 80 | 8,400 |
| 70 | 6,600 |
| 60 | 4,800 |
| 50 or less | 3,000 |
Your limit increases for every Quest Point that you gain. As more quests are introduced, with more Quest Points, we may decide to increase the above values.

Duel Arena:
It is not only trades that are affected by Quest Points. We have also increased the staking cap for Duel Arena, in the same way. Using the table in the '3,000gp Rule Changes' section, you will be able to find out your new limit for gaining or losing items in staked duels. This does not apply to duel tournaments.
This increase also applies to the Rat Pits minigames.

Flax / Bowstring Method (Members Only)
- This is one of the best ways to make money if you are willing to spend a couple of hours on it. It's also a great way to level up your crafting level which can be used at high levels to make even more money!
- Get your crafting to level 10. If you don't have level 10 crafting, do a quest called "Murder Mystery" and you'll get over 10 crafting.
- Go to the flax field south of the Seers Village bank.
- Pick 28 flax. There's no shortage of flax so don't be worried if there's about 10 people there.
- Spin the flax at the top floor of the building to the west of the field.
- Put the bowstrings in your bank in Seers Village.
- Repeat the process until you have a substantial amount of bowstrings. Sell them in thousands. 1,000, 2,000, 3,000, etc. Sell them for 150-180gp each. It is possible to sell each bow string at 200gp each but it's not common for players to buy bow strings at this price. I calculated the time to make 1 mill and it would take around 27.2 hours if you pick and spin 250 an hour.
- Remember to note your items when you sell them.
