{{MMG page header}}

By combining different skills, you can gain a considerable sum of both money and experience, rather than too much money and too little experience (or the other way around). Most of these methods do cost a large sum of base funds, and these methods may not be as effective as [[power levelling]] or strict money making methods.

| Making gold jewelry
| {{Difficulty|1}}
| [[Crafting]] 8+
| Gold jewelry can be made from gold bars (not ores) which gives small amount of profit and crafting experience. Those with gems are not recommended for now. They can be sold to [[Grum's Gold Exchange]] or Grand Exchange.<br>Grum's Gold Exchange buys necklaces with better price than rings and amulets.

| Collecting Potatoes
| {{Difficulty|1}}
| None 
| [[Potato|Potatoes]] can be picked at the field directly West of [[Fred the Farmer|Fred the Farmer's]] Chicken Farm near [[Lumbridge]] It takes approximately thirty seconds (or less) to collect a bag full of potatoes, and takes around a minute and a half to run to the nearest bank and back. Potatoes sell for {{GEprice|Raw potato}} coins, and so a full inventory of them would yield {{formatnum:{{#expr:{{GEPrice|Raw potato|n}}*28}}}}, and would allow for a profit of {{formatnum:{{#expr:{{GEPrice|Raw potato|n}}*28*30}}}} per hour, which is a very decent amount for the lack of skills required. If any explorer's ring is used, the profits may exceed 150,000 per hour. If low on energy, rest by the musician in Lumbridge. Alternatively, the potatoes could be used to train cooking.
|None (An explorer's ring (any type) would be helpful, as they could restore one's run energy)
