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. :)

Method Description, Instructions and Tips for Success
General Description
Some of the best foods in RuneScape are pies, but making pies is a slow and tedious process. One way to speed it up is to start with premade pie shells, and so players are willing to pay for that convenience. Making pie shells involves two steps: making pastry dough from flour and water, and then using it on a pie dish. The first step takes longer, while the second offers greater profit potential, so it is our focus here.
Anyone can do this method -- it involves the Cooking skill, but there are no level requirements at all. (You also get no XP.)
There are no advantages to higher levels for this activity, so all versions are the same, except for the ability to use foraging familiars to make more money at higher levels.
Specific Method Details
Go to Castle Wars or another one-click bank of your choice, and summon a magpie.
Take out 14 pie dishes and 14 pastry dough. Click on one dish and use it on one pastry dough (or vice-versa), then select "Make All" to make 14 pie shells. Put them in the bank and repeat. That's all there is to it -- pretty simple stuff.
