💰A Complete OSRS Money-Making Guide💰

Are you having an ‘out of money’ experience?

OSRS money-making guide Are you having an ‘out of money’ experience? Then this is the guide for you! We’ll be taking a brief look at several OSRS money making methods, ranging from low, middle, and high-level techniques. This means that no matter where you are in your OSRS career, you’ll likely be able to apply one or more of these methods to grow your pockets!

Low-level / starting - Members Guide

As a low-level account, you’re probably looking not only to make OSRS gold but also to progress your account at the same time. These first three OSRS money-making techniques do just that, we’ll focus on methods which lead to you gaining levels too! What’s not to like?

If you’re finding that this list isn’t quite what you’re looking for, why not check out our dedicated low-level members OSRS money making guide

Method 1 - Gathering resources & creating items

OSRS resources & items There are five gathering skills in OSRS: Mining, Fishing, Woodcutting, Farming, and Hunter. These skills are excellent as a starting player to focus on, as you collect resources to level up your skills. This means you can sell these resources to other players to make a nice profit, or you can use them in conjunction with your artisan skills, as described below. Of course, the higher your level, the more valuable resources you’ll be able to gather, and therefore make more RuneScape gold.

oldSchool RuneScape resources & items Artisan skills can be trained by using gathered resources to make into other useful items. For example - cooking your raw fish into edible food. Players who require these items will pay a lot of gold for them, to save the time involved to create them. There are eight Artisan skills; these include:

Of these skills, Firemaking and Construction yield minimal cash, so we suggest avoiding these skills if your main aim is to make money!

Method 2 - Killing Chaos Druids (requires: about 20 combat)

Location: Edgeville dungeon (warning: this method involves going into the Wilderness, where other players may be able to attack you).
Requirements: Weapon & Armour, Food, suggested level 20 combat and at least a mithril weapon.
about 200k GP per hour

For our next two methods, we’re going to focus on collecting loot, which is dropped by monsters. Killing the monsters around Gielinor can yield a lot of profit, as players are willing to pay large amounts of gold on the Grand Exchange for these, as this saves them time.

When killed, Chaos Druids drop lots of ‘noted’ herbs. These herbs will stack in your inventory, and therefore you can stay here for as long as your hitpoints allow (bring food!).

Method 3 - Killing Lava Dragons (requires: 35 magic)

Location: Level 51 Deep Wilderness (warning: this method involves going into the Wilderness, where other players may be able to attack you).
Requirements: Runes & Armour, Food, suggested level 35 magic to use the Fire Bolt spell.
about 400k GP per hour

Much like the Chaos Druids, Lava Dragon’s are also found in the Wilderness, where other players may attack you. As Lava Dragons can be found in the deep Wilderness, the chance of others attacking you is much higher. We suggest hovering your mouse over the ‘log out’ button while training here. This is so that should be a nasty, mean, evil, PK’er (player killer) come along, then you can disappear in a ‘poof’ of nothingness!

OSRS The Lava Dragon
While at the Lava Dragons, you should collect as much of the drops as possible, pay particular attention to the dragon bones, as these are worth a lot of gold (don’t bury them!).

The Lava Dragon shown above can be ‘safe spotted’ with your magic spell lava bolt. This means that the dragon won’t be able to hit you if you get it caught on the tree!

Mid-level - Members Guide

Method 1 - Blast Furnace: Making Steel Bars

around 450000 gold per hour
materials required: about 2600 coal and iron ore per hour, about 15000 gold coins per hour

The Blast Furnace is a relatively AFK-able method for money-making and provides a decent amount of Smithing experience while you’re smelting your bars. Once you reach level 30 smithing, you’ll gain access to steel bars. These can be made with just one coal and one iron at the Blast Furnace. This is because, at the Blast Furnace, all coal costs for smelting are halved. This saves you a tremendous amount of gold in your production costs.

Method 2 - Killing Green Dragons

around 700000 gold per hour

Green Dragons can be found in around level 25 of the Wilderness. They’re not too difficult to kill, especially if using a dwarven multi cannon. While the consistent drops here provide around 700000 gold per hour, the best prizes are the possibility of a Hard or Elite Clue Scroll. Completing these Clue Scrolls awards typically around 1 million gold worth of loot.

Method 3 - Gathering Red Chinchompas

around 800000 gold per hour

At level 63 Hunter, you’ll be able to use your box trapping skills to gather Red Chinchompa’s. Many players use these as a quick way to train their ranged skills; therefore, they sell well on the Grand Exchange.

Method 3 - Gathering Red Chinchompas

around 800000 gold per hour

At level 63 Hunter, you’ll be able to use your box trapping skills to gather Red Chinchompa’s. Many players use these as a quick way to train their ranged skills; therefore, they sell well on the Grand Exchange.

Method 1 - Blast Furnace: Making Adamant and Runite Bars

around 600000 gold per hour for making adamant bars
around 750000 gold per hour for making Runite bars
materials required (adamant bars): around 7800 coal and 2600 adamant ore per hour, about 60000 gold coins per hour
materials needed (Runite bars): around 10400 coal and 2600 Runite ore per hour, around 75000 gold coins per hour
OSRS Adamant and Runite Bars
That’s right, it’s back to the Blast Furnace! This time we strongly suggest bringing along your ‘coal bag’ to aid with the vast amounts of ore you’ll need to transport into the furnace! The coal bag allows you to store much more coal in just a single slot of your inventory, therefore increasing your smelting speed.

Method 2 - Bossing

Killing bosses can be difficult, the learning curve is steep, but the chance at a rare drop makes it worthwhile. Most bosses have a decent, consistent drop table, meaning that through just repetitively killing them, you make around a few RuneScape millions per hour. But it’s really that ever sought after rare drop you’ll be looking for, these rare drops will sell for anywhere upwards of 6m each, depending on what they are.

Method 3 - Flipping items on the Grand Exchange (High risk)

Flipping items is, in its explanation, relatively simple. You buy items at a lower price than you sell them. You need to be aware that the OSRS market is a constantly shifting market, much like that of the real stock market.

Investing money can yield great rewards, but if you aren’t careful, you can lose it all. See our guides on how to flip items on the Grand Exchange for more detail.

Noteworthy mentions:

OSRS bonds

Bonds work in both Runescape 3 and OSRS and can be purchase and redeemed with either Runescape gold, in-game, or with real-world money from the Runescape website.

OSRS bonds are another (slightly more expensive) way of purchasing OSRS gold using real-world money. If you’re looking for more bang for your buck, check out the other sections of this site to find some great deals on RSGP.
