When your a newbie its important you get some armor and weapons so you can start advancing. The best place to buy things is normaly the Grand Exchange which is surrounded by trees. The trees at the grand exchange sell for 75 gold each. Cut down four trees and you got 300 coins already. Fill up your inventory and you got enough to buy a full bronze set and most of the iron armor. I got 10,000 coins from that in about 15-20 min when I had like a level 20 woodcutting level so that works when you grow levels too.

Sorry, but I disagree that Newbies should ever " buy" bronze. Why would they get bronze when they could at least have iron with 1 defense? LOL
The best way to build a strong character from the ground up is to start with range.
First, utilize your freebie arrows you get from the Range tutorial just north of Lumbridge castle.
Take your tinderbox, bow and hatchet and cross the nearby bridge to the east and follow the road north to the chicken farm that will be on your left.
Range chickens gathering both meat and feathers, chop a tree and cook the meat. After you have enough meat to keep yourself from being killed, treck across the road to the cow field and start killing cows and collecting hides. You can also collect and cook meat to get you started for healing while you collect hides. Cow hides sell for 218- 230 gp ea on the exchange. I would not suggest buying bronze arrows, as iron is much more effective.
Ranging cows allows you to make $ and not have to wait to level your character. When your character is strong enough, head to minotaurs in the security stronghold and then you will be able to resupply your iron arrows for free.
If you need money for more arrows quickly, I would suggest training mining and smithing. It takes a much shorter time to be making more $ quickly than woodcutting. Just follow the road north to the mining camp south east of Varrock. work your smithing until you are able to make steel bars. Bars are worth more than other smithed items. Bronze bars sell from 274-288gp ea in the GE, iron bars sell from 341-361gp ea, 850- 1024gp in GE and you only need Level 30 smithing to make them, vs the much higher level needed to chop yews. Once you have obtained enough money to reinvest, instead of mining the coal, you can purchase it on the GE quickly and still make a profit. You can actually sell iron and buy coal with it to make it take much less time. Coal is currently 286 gp ea on Ge, you need 2 coal 1 iron per bar = 572 gp. If you want to buy both iron and coal, iron is currently 257gp.
572+257= 829gp currently steel bars are selling for 1024 ea that is still 195 gp profit, even if you buy all materials. Mining the iron yourself that is a 452 gp profit per bar sold on GE. I do not suggest smithing other items out of the bars because they are worth much less, unless you are on a members server and are smithing cannon balls.
To build a strong character I would train range, mage, prayer, strength, attack and last train defense ( if at all- Most pures do not train defense,unless, of course you are making a defense pure.)
I would not suggest starting with melee when trying to create a strong character. The objective in training should be to make your character as strong as it can be for your level, not just try to gain as many combat levels as possible. Gaining combat levels too quickly results in having a very weak character for your level, and never train melee levels equally. Equal levels in melee make your character much weaker for pvp combat.
Though it is okay for a PVE character to be stronger in strength than other stats, it is the attack skill that makes the strength more effective in pvp. Having a slightly higher attack level than strength results in your character missing less and max hitting more frequently. Strength controls the strength of your blow, making you hit harder, but if it is higher than the attack skill, it results in you missing more and not hitting as hard as you should as frequently. This is why even a maxed bare character with 99 99 99 in attack, strength, and defense can be defeated in battle 15 out of 20 times when fighting a player with 99 98 98 melee stats with same attack style.
Regardless of your levels in the game there are ways to make money easily. It does however take an insane time investment to reach high level goals in the game. Nothing is actually difficult on this game, just time consuming.
Thats true but its a lot of complication for a real newbie.

LOL I can Noob it up to make it simpler.
1. Range things that make $. ( aka Killz da Cows moo!) Buy iron arrows with your money until you are strong enough to range minotaurs that give FREE iron arrows.
2. You can find out how much each item is worth by clicking on this
symbol on your tab . place items to see their value.
3. Once you have found a profitable item to sell and have a full stock, treck on up to varrock grand exchange:
To get to varrock just follow the road by the cows North. Watch out for the Bears/ Rats/ unicorns or anything else that might Killz you along the way. ( Run away like you are on fire if you are too low to fight them.)
If you need more information go to runehq or zybez for help.
You can search monsters, items, quests, minigames and skill guides and calculators there.
4. Enter your stats into the combat calculator on Rune Hq, and then you can see how many levels you can get until you get a combat level. Try to get as many levels as you can without gaining a combat per level as to not make your character a weak ass nooberzloth.
Eazy 'nough?
LOL, why bother when the 100k accounts on are all botters.
This game is only for a few pathetic noobs that don't get much luck against 24/7 botting that improves your luck the longer you play each day. Runescapes game client engine is set for botters and they are mostly members which sell inj real worlds. Once sold these fools have no idea how to actually play and too soon give up the accounts.
This also shows how Guiness Book Of Records is foolish since most accounts they think is a record had already quit.
There is no better false game anywhere at all!
Sure, botters are out of control on this game, most players do not talk, and the best way to play this game is being afk, but if someone wants to try the game, I am at least going to tell them how to actually play it right regardless of the abuse.
Maybe just maybe Jagex will wake up and realize what they have done.. I wouldn;t hold my breath though.
Don't lose hope- no one knows what tomorrow holds.
Thats a lot better for a "real" newbie. To be honest most people are to lazy to read through a lot of instructions so that help a lot especialy when you add some humor.

Ive been playing runescape for years. I never started like this. If you want to start and get ahead quickly... Become a member at level 3. Train range for a couple levels, until you can use bronze darts (p++). Take those and start dragon slayer. When you get to Elvgard, Throw darts and hide behind a rock. Once he is poisoned... wait until he dies. Voila.. you jump to lvl 30 something combat. Simple as that.. and if you need a guide... use youtube ^.^
1. Most newbies will never pay for a lvl 3 acc.
2. Most vets will never pay for a noob acc on a broken game.
3. Those of us who were supernoobs and paid for our noob accs, do not have an excuse, and do not need a guide. We knew what we were getting ourselves into. A completely unrewarding waste of time. The higher our stats only show how much more time we wasted than everyone else.
4. You only do dragonslayer if you are making a defense noob, otherwise you do not train defense because it ruins your noob.
5. If you want a strong account you use rune hq combat calculator, and start training range, then mage, attack, and str. You try to get as many levels as you can without gaining a combat, you want your account to be as strong as it can for it's level otherwise you are weak in pvp. I mean you can go ahead and gimp your acc all you want, but I wouldn;t be advising others to do so.
