Making money in OSRS effectively isn't simple So we're going to reveal the most effective methods for grinding tonnes of gold no time (no F2P or AFK)!
A lot of OSRS novices are wondering how they can start earning plenty of gold in order to buy high-tier gear, and enjoy the game like the rest of the end-game players. There are several ways to earn money but my view is that many of them are not worthwhile, based on their time requirements, complexity, how boring they are, and also the lower profits they can bring and are difficult to master.
In this article, I will detail step-by-step the most effective method of earning money. In this guide, you'll utilize your combat skills to take down enemies and monsters. The techniques are not available in F2P worlds, so you'll need at least a 14-day membership in order to perform them. Don't let this put you off however, just read our detailed guide to how you can get your very first Bond (membership) at no cost!
A majority of the techniques included in this guide will not require anything, however, I will also provide massive money-making methods that have very high demands. The methods listed below will be classified in terms of difficulty so that you will be able to pick the appropriate approach for you.
If you are new to Old School Runescape, make sure you go through the beginner's guide to OSRS prior to you begin the exercises below.
1 - Killing Cave Horrors (Easy)
Leveling up or training your combat skills can be extremely boring in OSRS particularly when you are at level 60 in every combat skill, because it's harder to advance. You can generally only be semi-afk. Sometimes, you can't even be at all when it comes to training for combat. In addition, a lot of training techniques aren't financially profitable that makes you stressed more.
I'll demonstrate how you can kill Cave Horrors to increase your combat skills past level 60 and make a profit.
This method is based on certain levels as well as the completion of specific quests It's not difficult to accomplish them.
Notes:
The Seed Box is used to store seeds. can be purchased from Farmer Gricoller during the Tithe Farm minigame, and the Herb Bag is used to store herbs. They which can be purchased from any Slayer Master for 750 points and requires at least level 58 Herblore and both aid in helping make more profits per trip.
You can bring a Dwarf Cannon If you want to boost the Ranged EXP per hour however you'll have to spend more money per trip on Cannon Balls. Cannon Balls.
To reach the cave, you must use for access to the cave, use your Mos le'harmless teleport then walk to the east, past the sign of the dungeon and walk into the cave.
Instead, you can use instead the Trouble Brewing minigame teleport every 20 minutes, it's kinda the same distance anyway.
Inside the cave you will find Albino bats as well as Cave Horrors , you should be the only one to kill Cave Horrors . Find a spot that is safe and begin to kill them until have eaten all of your food and potions . You can then use Mos le'harmless's teleporter to deposit your loot into a bank and then repeat.
The concept behind killing Cave Horrors will be to drop Black Mask which is a valuable item that can currently be bought for 1.3M Gold. It's drop rate is 1/512 and you'll also receive some other good items like herbs and seeds. So as you are training your combat abilities, you're also making money, probably 400k-500k per hour, not including the Black Masks !
2 - Killing Lizardman Shamans (Med)
Killing Lizardman Shamans is considered to be one of the most lucrative money making strategies available in the game. It requires very medium requirements and will yield massive profits in the long term. Simply you are killing them to collect Dragon Warhammer as a drop that costs about 60 million gold.
There are certain requirements for certain, but it's not easy to accomplish. In the beginning, you need to finish the following challenges :
Animal magnetism
Dwarf cannon
Ernest the chicken
Murder Mystery
Observatory
Priest in danger
Restless ghost
Sheep shearer
Goblin diplomacy
Then, you will need to satisfy the following criteria:
Shayzien House 100% favour
Level 40 Prayer or higher
Shayzien Armour tier 5
The purchase of a Dwarf Cannon (costs approximately 750K gold)
Level 61 Ranged at least to allow the use of Rune crossbow , or level 75 to utilize Blowpipe
Optional: If planning to use a Rune crossbow , then maybe you better achieve the level 55 Slayer before you gain access to Broad bolts which are fairly less expensive than Adamant bolts of the same power.
Note: If you are going to use Blowpipe (which I highly recommend when you are at level 75 Ranged ) You should choose Adamant darts as they provide the best DPS in terms of price.
You can reach 100% Shayzien House favour by doing these steps:
1 Perform the "Heal Injured Soldiers" Shayzien activity. For this, you'll need to travel to the Infirmary tent which located in the Shayzien area. You can do this by using the Skills necklace to teleport you to The Woodcutting Guild then walk northwest until you are at the tent.
After arriving you can talk to Nurse Boubou and decide to help the wounded soldiers. You can take a complete inventory of Medpacks from the tent next to it after which you can enter the tent to the left of her and begin healing the soldiers, that will earn you 0.1% Shayzien favor for every soldier you heal.
When you are out of Medpacks return to the other tent to choose a new inventory that is full and then on. You can also take Stamina potions to accelerate the process.
Continue to repeat the process until you reach 40% of your favour. You can repeat it until you reach 100%, but you'll become bored, so it's up to you.
2 Do The "Tackle Organized Crime" Shayzien activity. To do that you will have to talk to the Captain Ginea who is in a tent just in the middle of the tent of the Medpack, then inquire "Do you know of any meetings now?", then he will give you information about the next gathering of the gang including the location and time it will take place.
Be aware that you'll need good weapon and armour to take down the group members. After he has given you the details, go through this Link to determine where they will appear. It is recommended to keep checking until you've reached 100% Shayzien favor.
In the event that you win 100 percent Shayzien favor, you'll get access to the Shayzien armor tier 5 as well as having the ability to take out the Lizardman Shamans .
To gain the Shayzien Armour level 5 you must fight the five warriors of the combat ring that is located to the west of Captain Ginea, and kill each one five times until you attain all the armour from each tier. After that, drop the 1~4 armour for each tier, and keep the 5th armour. For sure you will need adequate food and armour, and an attack weapon and keep this in mind.
If you are wearing the Shayzien armor of tier 5 , it shields your body from the poison attack of the Lizardman Shamans that can do massive damage to you.
Now , you're almost ready to kill the Lizardman Shamans , but first you need to understand how to reach them, what gear you need and the setup of your inventory, the cannon placement and how to eliminate them.
The equipment you'll require:
Shayzien armour tier 5
Rune crossbow or blowpipe (depends on your level)
Amulet of Glory or higher
Ring of Wealth (collects the gold coins, and then teleports you out onto the Grand Exchange)
Ava's accumulation
3: Killing Brutal Black Dragons (Med)
The process of killing Brutal Black Dragons is very efficient way to make money as well as increase your Ranged level However, the Slayer level to be able to kill them makes this method difficult to implement. If you've reached the necessary Slayer level, it'll be very effective to utilize this method.
4 - Killing Demonic Gorillas (Hard)
Killing Demonic Gorillas is an excellent opportunity to develop your Combat skills while making good amount of money. It's fighting mechanism is kinda difficult, but you'll be able to master it in a short time.
To Kill:
Demonic Gorillas can be trained to pray just like us, they pray Protect from Missiles when you're using ranged, and also Protect From Melee if you are using Melee. They'll switch between prayers once you deal more than 50 damages to them by using the attack style like:
If you're using Ranged while praying to be protected from Melee , they will switch onto Protect From Missiles at the point you cause 50+ damage to them, and the same applies when you use Melee for Protect from Missiles .
Therefore, you'll need to switch to another attack style to keep damaging the enemy once they switch their prayer.
They can also use the three types of attack styles (Ranged Melee, Magic) They can also switch between the styles after they have performed 3 attacks from one style.
That's why you have to use RuneLite as it will identify when they are likely to change their tactics, in form of the counter-prayers above which will allow you to be able to switch your prayers much faster.
Therefore, if they use Ranged, you pray for protection From Missiles . If they are using Melee, you pray Protect From Melee , if they use Magic Then you pray Protect From Magic .
The combat system is complex, but you'll become familiar with it in no time. In doing so you could earn up to 2.2M Gold per hour, in addition to the exclusive drops like Zenyte Shard which costs 14M and has a chance of dropping of 1/300.
5 - Killing Vorkath (Very Hard)
Killing Vorkath is one of the most profitable endgame earning methods, which can yield around 2~3M Gold per hour. In reality, it is a requirement including the achievement of a challenging task however, what you have to know is that Vorkath is perhaps the most simple endgame boss in OSRS that is why the effort needed to complete these standards very worth it.
Notes:
Rune Pouch is made to use for casting House Teleport or Crumble Undead . I'll be able to explain the reason in the future.
It's possible to buy Anti-venom+ as well as Extended Super Antifire, but in my opinion it's a waste of money.
The number of kills per day varies with your weapon and levels of combat, however, generally speaking, you'll see more kills per journey with Dragon Hunter Crossbow .
How do you get there and out from there:
The fastest way to reach there is to join World #330 since it's the house party world. Use the House teleport (runes) and then locate a host with high Construction level, and go into their house and use Portal Nexus to teleport. Portal Nexus to teleport to Lunar Isle.
How to kill:
Killing Vorkath is easy , and you will get used to it as you get more killed it, but you'll be a bit hesitant when you first start.
First off, Vorkath has a melee attack that is extremely damaging, therefore, don't ever stand close to it. When you've reached it, use one dose of Ranging potion , one dose of Extended Antifire potion , apply your quick-prayers, and begin to eliminate it.
If you plan to use Blowpipe and you want to protect yourself, use Protect From Magic and Eagle Eye or Rigour , if not, then use Protect From Missiles and Eagle Eye or Rigour , because while using Blowpipe it is possible that the boss will take massive magic damage to you due to its dragonfire attack since you aren't allowed to make use of the Anti-Dragon Shield . However, if you're using the Dragon Hunter Crossbow , you can use this shield (plus the potion) to mitigate the magic damage.
It is important to note that you may get damaged from the ranged attack when using Blowpipe which has a max damage of 35. Also the same applies to Dragon Hunter Crossbow , but it's the non-dragonfire weapon that can hit up to 30.
Some important notes:
You can turn off your quick-prayer during the two special attacks in order to preserve some prayers, and then turn it back on before the regular attack begins.
Take food as needed while being frozen.
Take 1 quantity of Ranging potion at the start of each kill.
Teleport to the House if are dying which means you don't have to spend 100K Gold in order to retrieve your belongings.
Killing Vorkath gives you huge profits per hour. However, it also offers unique drops, such as Draconic Visage as well as Skeletal Visage . Both are priced at the 8 million gold and 37 million Gold , respectively and a drop chance of 1/5000.
