In-Game Questions

How do I make money?

There are multiple ways to make money on Grinderscape.

• If you are a new player, it is recommended to start with theiving as this gives you straight gp.
• Once you've gotten some money from theiving, another good money making method is slayer.
• Once you've maxed your combat stats, PVMing (bossing) is the ultimate (safe) way to get money.
• If you like to gamble/stake, this could also be a good way to make money. BEWARE! This is also how to lose money as well.

Where can I find a certain boss, and how can I kill it?

Our Grinderscape Wiki team has put together several boss guides for players to use. View our bossing guides here.

Where can I find a certain monster?

We have a pricelist which can be found in your quest tab, typing ::prices, at the top of the game client, or you can find it here. To search the guide quickly, use CTRL+F (COMMAND+F on macs).

What are some staking methods?

There are many methods players use to battle over a stake.

• Dragon Dagger Spec (DDSing): You use your Dragon Dagger (P++) only. If another player uses an item other than the DDS, they can be banned for scamming.
• DDS to Whip: You use your DDS and your whip. Again, if a weapon other than a DDS/Whip are used, they can be banned for scamming.
• Boxing: This is a bit of a slow fight, but are even in odds. All weapons are disabled, and the two players fight to the death with nothing but their hands.

It is recommended that you record all your fights in case someone does decide to scam you. It won't take up much memory if you delete the videos after you're done with them.

Application Questions

How do I become a staff member of GrinderScape?

If you think there's an application for a staff member, think again. The staff team will most likely choose a player with full potential to be a staff member of Grinderscape. You'll have to be respectful, helpful and trusted in order to become a staff member.

• Respectful: Always respect players, who they are/what they like/etc. If you're a mean spirited brute to players for no reason, it is highly unlikely that you will ever be considered for any staff position.
• Helpful: Help players in-game. If they ask for help, then try your best to provide help for the players in need. Please don't try to lie to players. That'll ruin your reputation + your chances of playing the game anymore.
• Trusted: Gain player's trust! You can do this by providing MM's/Item transfers to players. It's hard to do so, but it's worth gaining trust from people. If you feel like you have what it takes to become a trusted Middleman, apply to become an official middleman here.

Please note that these things do not guarantee a staff position.

How do I become a middleman?

To become a middleman, you can apply on our forums here. To be eligible for middleman, you need to do the following:

• Be active
• Be helpful within the community (both help cc and other channels)
• Be respectful and an overall nice human

How do I become a veteran?

Your account must have a creation date of at least 2 years ago. You can check it by click on your join date in the quest tab.
