Money-making

Training buyable skills and upgrading your gear can be expensive, but there are money making methods that are effective even as a lower-level player. These are just a few methods you can try out - there are a lot more methods in the game for you to explore.

​

Note: It is assumed that you have no main account / high-level alt. If you can or want to transfer GP from another account (or purchase bonds ), then skip this section.

Passive Methods

These methods don't take much time and can give enough money to generate some consistent daily revenue, but are limited in how frequently they can be done. Some of these methods or locations may require quests - you do not have to go out of your way to level your skills, these are simply some of the possible options you have.

​

Combined, these methods are enough to generate a few million GP/day for little time investment.

Shop Runs

⬥ Involves buying out shop stock to sell on the GE to other players.

⬥ Check the Wiki for all shop locations.

⬥ Starting money is required.

Player-owned ports (requires one lvl 90 of )

⬥ Very long-term investment, not immediate profit.

⬥ Profit comes once you have reached near the end of player-owned ports and can focus on sending your ships for trade goods like bones to make tradeable scrimshaws to sell.

⬥ See the Player Owned Ports Guide or ask in Discord if you need help with progressing ports.

Using Invention Machines (requires 72 )

⬥ Auto Alchemiser machines can be used to automatically high-alch items over time.

⬥ Alchemiser mk. II (108 ) is more profitable since it doesn't require fire runes, and processes more items.

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎• Use the Wiki calculator to help identify items that can be bought on the GE and alched profitably.

⬥ This is passive income over time.

Skilling Methods

Non-PvM ways to make money. Note that some of these methods (e.g. crafting ) may require high skilling levels, so you can just choose methods that you have the levels for instead.

Runecrafting

⬥ Runecrafting high-demand runes can be quite profitable.

⬥ Blood (77 and legacy of Seergaze quest) and necromancy runes (20+ and and Rune Mythos quest) are typically the most profitable runes to craft.

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎• Recommended to have as many boosts as possible while doing this.

Croesus (recommended 80+ in or )

⬥ The skilling boss Croesus can be very good GP/hr.

⬥ Has both good common drops as well as expensive rare drops (link).

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎• You can use W68 public lobbies or teamforming servers/clans/etc.

Big Game Hunter (75+ 55+ )

⬥ For example, hunting tier 1 dinosaurs for dragon mattock, or tier 2 dinosaurs to sell their meats to players doing tier 3 dinosaurs can be good profit.

⬥ This requires some practice to do efficiently (link for strategies), but is a nice way to train the skill profitably.

⬥ Use of movement skills and the mobile perk is strongly recommended.

Miscellaneous methods

The further down the list, the higher the requirements generally become.

Collecting Zamorak Mjolnirs

⬥ Zamorak mjolnirs can be collected and sold for profit, with few requirements.

⬥ See the Wiki guide for more information.

Easy Clues

Easy clue scrolls are part of Treasure Trails, in which a player follows a series of clues leading towards a buried treasure. They're a great way to make money early on, averaging around 700k coins per clue. Easy clue scrolls are between 3 to 5 clue steps long.

​

⬥ Gathering

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎• You can gather them from either low-level monsters or pickpocketing H.A.M. members.

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎⬩ 15 Thieving is required.

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎⬩ Levelling up Thieving and Agility to 50 significantly decreases your chance at failing a pickpocketing action.

⬥ Solving

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎• Easy clue steps (unlike the higher tiers) can always be completed.

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎• Most of the profit from Easy Reward Caskets comes from unique items. that disassemble into Fortunate components.

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎⬩ Sell the items on the GE directly, usually for 1-1.5m per item.

​

⬥ Clue recommendations

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎• Emote clues are a type of clue scroll where players perform an emote with specific items equipped. These items can be kept in hidey-holes (27 ), which are storage boxes found at each clue location where they're needed.

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎• Completing clue scrolls means travelling across Gielinor, which is why access to certain teleports can speed up this process a lot.

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎⬩ The following preset from the Clue Chasers discord is advised if you do decide on solving easy clues frequently.

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎• Alt1 is a Jagex-allowed third-party application that consists of several quality of life overlays on your screen.

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎⬩ One of these plug-ins is called the Clue Solver, it checks the clue you have open on your screen and tells you how to solve it.

Binding Contracts

⬥ Making binding contracts to then turn into Ancient familiar pouches for profit.

⬥ Varied selection of Slayer monsters makes it a versatile method.

⬥ Having a way to quickly note or bank the pouches is highly recommended.

⬥ Requires the Dragon Bye mystery.
