Using water to make money is taking one item (vials, jugs, clay, etc.) and using it on the water source. After a few seconds your inventory is full of a new item (vial of water, jug of water, soft clay) which is worth more money. It takes no skills and is a quick process. Everyone always talks about filling vials, vials make you millions, well let's run the numbers and see what really works.
We'll start with quantity. All of the items are basically the same speed. You have a load of 28, walk to the nearest water source and presto, you have the end product. There is no winner in using the items on the water source, so let's look at getting the items. Vials and clay buy quickly on the GE. People like jugs for making wine and I always have a hard time buying jugs. You'll see in a minute, filling jugs is the best money maker, so you'll have to decide if the time waiting to buy them is worth it.
- Vials, the common item. An empty vial costs 27 gold and a filled one sells for 42 gold. That's 15 gold profit per vial. Not to bad since it takes less than a second to fill one.
- Clay, my favorite. Clay costs 35 gold and soft clay sells for 61 gold. That's 26 gold profit, almost double what vials get you. So why does no one talk about doing clay instead of vials??? Why would you ever fill vials instead of soften clay? Even if you want the vials of water for herblore, soften the clay and use the profits to buy the vials.
- Jugs, good, but hard to get. Jugs cost 46 gold and a jug of water sells for 77 gold. 31 gold profit and the winner. But they are harder to purchase so it's a little iffy at times.
I like clay, it's quick to buy and sell and gives almost twice what vials give you. Go buy some clay and try it yourself. You can even try selling it for a little over asking price, you'll be pleasantly surprised. Be sure to let us know what you sold for and how much profit you have.
