How To Choose A Money Maker

Start here

Three questions decide the right method: what level are you? (low-level accounts should start with the Low Level and F2P guides), how much attention do you have? (AFK guides rank methods by how hands-off they are), and do you want to PvM? (bossing scales GP/hr with gear and skill). Most players end up mixing one active money maker with one AFK method.
