Buying chaos runes from rune shops
Collecting Moderate F2P
Buy chaos runes from a rune shop and resell on the Grand Exchange, hopping worlds as the shop price climbs. Frequently unprofitable, since the shop's base price is often above the GE price; FlaxPicker will show when it flips.
Requirements
- Note: Aubury in Varrock is F2P; the Magic Guild store and Lundail also stock chaos runes. Shop price rises as stock falls.
