Big bones are extremely valuable throughout the runescape community. They are an excellent item to merchant, but if you’re short on cash, they’re also very good items to collect and sell. Big bones are dropped by hill giants and the area with the most hill giants is the Edgeville Dungeon.
Perquisites:
- This technique is for both non-members and members
- Level 40 and up
- Any amount of runescape gold
Getting There
If possible, make sure you have some backup food before venturing out, just in case your HP falls too low.
To access the Edgeville Dungeon, you need a Brass Key. This key can be obtained through trade with other players, so you’ll need a little cash to buy one. After you obtain a Brass Key, go west of Varrock. Just before the bridge leading into the Barbarian Village, head north and you should spot a small building. Use the Brass Key to enter the building and climb down the stairs.
You can alternatively access the dungeon by starting in Edgeville. This path does not require a key, but the trip is long and there are higher level monsters. If you decide to travel this route, grab a Brass Key in a room near the end of the dungeon for easy access later.
Tips and Tricks
Kill the hill giants and they will drop big bones. The catch is that there are many other players there trying to kill the giants, so try to get to them before they do.
Other than big bones, the giants drop other valuable items such as Limpwurt Roots. Seize these items and sell them on members servers for the most benefit. Limpwurt roots are fairly difficult to sell on non-member servers, because there is no use for them in non-member game play, but there are always some members looking to buy them.
If you reduce a giant to less than half health, then you will always receive what it drops, no matter who finishes the giant off. For example, you can fight two giants at once: reduce one down to less than half health, then fight a second giant. When the second giant dies, go back and fight the first giant. If someone already killed it for you, then you will still get the big bones! This benefits you greatly when there are a lot of people fighting for big bones. I used this trick and it increased my profit margin by a significant amount!
