in f2p i wanted 85 mining so i started mining lots of iron. my friend had wanted 99 smithing. what we did was i mined iron and bought coal, then he smelted into steel, i sold it, and got more coal. i got to keep all the GP tho.

that was how i got my first mill, and in turn i realized what i was doing was great money for f2p. i kept it up til like 80 mining and got bored. the great part is that by the time i was done i was able to afford a santa hat for 9.5m. Probably one of my favorite achievements.
I held on to the santa from may 2006 to june 2007. i sold it for 19.4m. wish i sold in august '06 for ~30m.
