1.0 – Introduction

» In a previous post, I showed how you could make money by Swapping Pouches for Shards.  Now I’m going to show you how to make money by making pouches into scrolls for Scrolls.  Overall, this method is more profitable.

» In order to make a fair amount of money by this method you’ll need a pretty high summoning level – usually the higher your Summoning, the more money you’ll be able to make.  If you have around 70 Summoning you can expect to gain between 800K-1M per hour and if you have around 80-99 Summoning you can expect anywhere from 1-2.5M profit per hour.

2.0 – The Basics
» A Pouch can be made into 10 scrolls at any Summoning Obelisk as long as you have the Summoning level required to make the pouch.  The value of the 10 scrolls is often greater than the value of the pouch; hence, you can make money by swapping the pouch for the scrolls and then selling the scrolls.

                            Take for example: Bunyip Pouches
- 68 Summoning is required to create the pouch so, likewise, 68 Summoning is what is required to make it into scrolls.

- The price of the Pouch  is 2,105 gp (on 26 January 2010).  The price of the 10 Scrolls you get by Swapping at an obelisk is 2,460 gp (see image below).  Thus 355gp is gained for each pouch you exchange for Scrolls.

- If you use the Kyatt method (see ‘Tips and Tricks’ below), you can do roughly 90 runs per hour of 28 pouches each, which comes out to 2520 pouches per hour.

   –> 355 gp per pouch X 2520 pouches per hour = 894,600 profit per hour <--
                                      

3.0 – Finding the Best Pouch

Obviously, you want to find the pouch that makes you the most money.  Here’s how:

1.  Open up Runescape Wiki’s Pouch –> Scrolls calculator in a new tab.

2.  Look on the far right side of the page where it says profit/loss.

3.  Choose the pouch which gains the most profit and don’t forget that it must be one which you have a high enough summoning level to swap.  In the case above^ the best pouch would be Unicorn Stallion Pouches (that is, if you have 88 Summoning or higher)

Or, you can view my Spreadsheet below, which does all the nasty work for you.  You can download it if you want but it might not automatically update from the Runescape GE Database so it’s probably best that you just view it here.

»  If you have a high summoning level, you can often find ones that’ll bring 800gp or more profit each, which adds up to around 2m profit per hour.

4.0 – Tips and Tricks
»  When training Summoning, check if the pouches you’re creating are worth more in scrolls.  If they are, then make them into scrolls immediately after creating them.  It takes up hardly any time and can significantly reduce the expenses of training Summoning.

»  As soon as you get 57 Summoning, start using the Kyatt to obelisk method to maximize the number or pouches you can do per hour.  The method is simple: summon a Spirit Kyatt, use the teleport option and it will teleport you close to an obelisk, run to the obelisk (you have to go down a ladder), use the obelisk to swap the pouches for scrolls and, finally, use a ring of duelling to teleport to castle wars.  Repeat this over and over and you can swap around 2,520 pouches per hour.

5.0 – Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Do you get any exp for making Pouches into Scrolls?

» A: Yes, but not much.  Depending on the pouch you do, you’ll make anywhere from 1k-10k exp per hour.  See Runescape Wiki for their complete list of how much exp you gain from swapping each pouch.
