Best way to Real-World-Trade (RWT) in OSRS
Here at Luckycharmgold, buying and selling gold is our bread and butter. We have been servicing the community for years, with combined decades of experience in the black market of Runescape from our management team.

Even after Jagex’s recent announcement of rule changes, this has changed very little. A vast majority of RWT activities go unbanned, for instance: we have never had a single ban on our trading accounts since starting up gold services over 4 years ago. We take every precaution possible to avoid this. As a buyer or seller, rest assured that we take the security of our customers extremely seriously and do everything in our power to keep you and your account safe, but to stay as safe as you possibly can be following these instructions when purchasing or selling GP.
How to RWT Safely in OSRS
Contrary to popular belief, a VPN or proxy will NOT make the chances of catching a RWT ban lower. In fact, using a VPN will make you more likely to be banned. Firstly, a VPN or proxy can be used before by somebody else for RWT and can be flagged by Jagex. Doing another gold trade on the same IP address will cause your account to be instantly banned for Real-World-Trading. Secondly, your account changing IP addresses and instantly trading large amounts of wealth is very suspicious and will cause Jagex’s system to raise suspicion. The safest thing to do is to trade on the IP address and device that you normally play the game on, as this will not flag your account within Jagex’s systems and thus will keep you safer.
Transferring Gold
Some customers may be inclined to use an alternative account such as a pure or a fresh level 3 account to use as a mule for their transaction. This is also a very big misconception made in the RWT business, unless one of these accounts is also played on frequently alongside your main account. A fresh account is monitored heavily, as well as alternate accounts that do not play the game but are logging in just to trade large sums of wealth. This will actually increase the likelihood of your main being banned, as Jagex is far more likely to flag an alternate account used solely for RWT and trace the wealth transfer back to your main.Low-level accounts with low playtime that are trading on free-to-play worlds will also increase the likelihood of being flagged, as these are the accounts that are closely monitored by Jagex. At Luckycharmgold we only use high-level accounts with good playtime and membership to absolutely minimize the risk of our trading accounts being flagged and caught, and we suggest that, if possible, you do the same - A level 3 fresh off tutorial island trading large amounts of wealth is far more suspicious than a high level main with hundreds of hours of playtime.
Methods of transferring gold
There are various methods that people use for Real-World-Trading such as regular trading, staking, Player-Killing (PKing), using tip-jar and drop trading. We at Luckycharmgold advise you just to use the regular trading method when buying and selling gold. Jagex has no way to monitor if the trade was a loan or a PVM split that was obtained, for instance. Staking was another great way to transfer large amounts of gold, however since the duel arena removal this is no longer viable. Using other methods mentioned such as PKing, tip-jar and drop trading raises suspicion in our point of view. It is highly irregular to do trades with large sums of money for these methods, which from the point of view from Jagex looks like RWT. When something look like an obvious RWT, the chances of catching a ban are more likely.
Buying bonds in OSRS
Bonds are a way of directly buying gold off of Jagex, with absolutely 0 risks of a RWT ban. Though some overly-cautious players choose to purchase their gold this way, it is highly recommended to avoid buying bonds. They are extremely expensive for the amount of gold you get, costing around 4x as much as black market gold, whilst the actual risk of purchasing gold is extremely low – our workers and suppliers are the only ones truly at risk of a ban, and we haven’t seen any yet within our discord or our website.
What are the chances of a RWT ban?
Although Jagex has been increasingly threatening to crack down on RWT, the sheer volume of gold traded means it is exceptionally unlikely you will be caught. We have never had any customers being banned from buying or selling gold through our services. There are always players that do catch a Real-World-Trading ban, mostly people that are very careless and trading too much in a short amount of time.
