Please Whitelist This Site?

I know everyone hates ads. But please understand that I am providing premium content for free that takes hundreds of hours of time to research and write. If I can't make at least a little bit of money to support my family via this site, I'll have to stop working on it.

One alternative is to become a RuneScoop member. It's cheap, you get access to all of the site with no ads, and you help keep the lights on around here.

If you want to use this site for free, I'd be grateful if you could add RuneScoop to the whitelist for Adblock. To do so, just open the Adblock menu and select "Disable on Runescoop.com". Or go to the Tools menu and select "Adblock Plus Preferences...". Then click "Add Filter..." at the bottom, and add this string: "@@http://*runescoop.com/*". Then just click OK.

Thanks for your understanding!

Sincerely... Qeltar, aka Charles, your hard-working host and RuneScape guide-writer extraordinaire. :)

General Method Description

Cockatrices are interesting monsters to be on a moneymaking list, because they are a great example of a monster that drops items that at one time weren't good enough to make them worth bothering with, but which have greatly increased in value due to game changes and evolution. They drop large quantities of limpwurt roots and cockatrice eggs, which are used in Herblore and Summoning, along with good quantities of nature runes, and a few herbs as well. They are also a source of light (white/gold) mystic boots, and iron boots as well. Iron armor doesn't seem very interesting, but these boots are more valuable than you might expect, perhaps because they can be worn by combat "pures" who have a Defence level of 1.
