Game items must only be exchanged for other items/services within the game.

Real-world trading is the term used for activities which occur outside of the game environment which result in the real-world sale or purchase of items, gold pieces, coins or any other form of virtual currency or services with the intention of supplying or advancing a Jagex in-game character other than by the means that are incorporated into the game.

This includes, but is not limited to, purchasing gold pieces or virtual items for RuneScape on 3rd party websites, buying a RuneScape account on 3rd party websites, paying someone to increase your account's experience and paying someone to complete quests and activities on your behalf.

Nobody has our permission to sell RuneScape accounts or any RuneScape related virtual in-game item. All RuneScape accounts and virtual items are the property of Jagex and players are only granted a limited, revocable permission to use accounts and virtual items in accordance with terms of our Terms and EULA.

The activities of people obtaining items with the intent of selling them, often involves cheating practices such as using macro scripts (botting). When a player purchases an existing RuneScape account, there is a high probability that the account may have been stolen. Stolen accounts will always be returned to the original owner.

For another player to use your game character they will require access to your account. This means your security becomes compromised and the account as well as the virtual items on the account, are then likely to be sold on to a third party.

When items in RuneScape are not supplied by Jagex the items are often taken from stolen accounts.

Any attempt to real world trade is a serious breach of a player's agreement with Jagex. Jagex does not recognise any attempted transfer of accounts or virtual items outside of the game environment. Jagex reserves the right to immediately suspend or terminate a player's RuneScape account in accordance with the Terms, if Jagex believes the player has attempted to real world trade.
