This F2p Runescape money making guide will show you how to make money through skills e.g. fishing, mining, etc. Be aware that the Grand Exchange prices are not always stable, so this guide might not be as accurate. It will be updated regularly though. The prices mentioned here are not exact, just rounded off. Musa Point fishing dock is the fishing area located at the f2p Karamja area. Currently, there is only one good method to making money with the Woodcutting skill.
FISHING
Anchovies

Tuna
Rating: **
Required: Level 35 Fishing, harpoon, Level 30 Cooking (optional)
Recommended: Level 40 Fishing, Level 40 Cooking (optional)
Tuna can be easily obtained on the ground from powerfishers at Musa Point fishing dock as they usually go after swordfish. They can also be fished by harpoon.
