Making money on OSRS efficiently isn't easy and we're going to share the best ways to grind tons of gold in no time (no F2P or AFK)!
Many OSRS beginners are wondering how to start making plenty of gold in order to buy top-of-the-line equipment and enjoy playing like the rest of the top end-game players. Actually there are many methods to earn money, however, I believe that the majority of them aren't worthwhile, based on their time requirements, complexity, how boring they are, as well as the low profits they offer and are difficult to master.
In this tutorial, I'll guide you step-by-step through the most effective money making methods, where you'll use your fighting abilities to defeat monsters and bosses. The techniques are not available in F2P worlds, so you'll need to purchase at least 14 days of membership in order to do these things. Don't let that put you off however, just read our complete guide on how to obtain the first Bond (membership) for Free!
Most of the methods that are discussed in this article won't take any effort, however I will also discuss enormous money-making techniques that require demanding requirements. These methods 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 beginners' guide to OSRS prior to you dive into the practices in the following section.
1. Killing Cave Horrors (Easy)
The process of advancing or learning your combat capabilities is extremely boring in OSRS particularly when you reach level 60 in every combat skill, because it is harder to advance. You can generally only be semi-afk, and occasionally you're not even at all when it comes to combat training. The majority of training methods are not profitable which causes you to worry more.
In this article, I'll show you how to kill Cave Horrors to increase your combat capabilities beyond 60 and earn some money.
This method is based on certain levels of achievement and completion of specific quests however it's pretty easy to get them.
Notes:
The Seed Box can be used to store seeds. It can be bought from Farmer Gricoller at the Tithe Farm minigame. the Herb sack is used to store herbs, which can be purchased from any Slayer Master at 750 points. The Herb sack requires an 58 level Herblore which will help you earn more money per visit.
You can take a Dwarf Cannon If you want to boost you Ranged EXP per hour, but you'll pay more money for each trip with those Cannon Balls.
To get there, make use of for access to the cave, use your Mos le'harmless teleport then walk east until you reach the sign for the dungeon and walk into the cave.
Instead, you can use your Trouble Brewing minigame teleport every 20 minutes, it's kinda exactly the same distance.
Inside the cave you will be able to find Albino bats as well as Cave Horrors , you should only kill Cave Horrors . Find a safe spot to begin to kill them until get all your food and potions then make use of the Mos le'harmless teleport again to bank your loot and do it again.
The idea of taking out Cave Horrors will be to will drop Black Mask which is a highly valuable item which can be bought for 1.3M Gold. Its drop rate is 1/512 and it also comes with additional useful items, such as seeds and herbs. As you train your combat abilities, you're making money, perhaps 400K~500K per hour excluding the Black Masks !
2 - Killing Lizardman Shamans (Med)
Killing Lizardman Shamans is considered to be one of the top money-making strategies in the game. It requires very medium requirements and yields huge gains in the long term. Simply , you have to kill them to obtain Dragon Warhammer as a drop which is worth around 60 million gold.
There are certain requirements for certain, but they're not that hard to achieve. First of all, you need to finish the following tasks :
Animal magnetism
Dwarf cannon
Ernest the chicken
Murder Mystery
Observatory
Priests at risk
Ghost with no restraint
Sheep shearer
Goblin diplomacy
Then, you will need to fulfill the following requirements:
Shayzien House 100% favour
The level 40 prayer or greater
Shayzien Armour tier 5
Purchase a Dwarf Cannon (costs approximately 750K gold)
Level 61 Ranged at minimum to be able to use Rune crossbow, or level 75 to be able to use Blowpipe
Optional: If you are planning to shoot a Rune crossbow , then maybe it is better to get to the level 55 Slayer before you gain access to Broad bolts that are cheaper than Adamant bolts that have the same force.
Note: If you're planning to use Blowpipe (which I highly recommend once you've reached the level 75 ranged ) You should choose Adamant darts, as they are the most efficient DPS for the price.
You can earn 100 percent Shayzien House favour by doing the following steps:
1 Take part in the "Heal Injured Soldiers" Shayzien activity. To do that you will be required to reach the Infirmary tent, which is located in the Shayzien area. To do that, you must use the Skills necklace to teleport you onto The Woodcutting Guild then walk northwest until you arrive at the tent.
Once you get there, converse with Nurse Boubou, choose to help wounded soldiers. Go to the other tent and pick up all of the Medpacks from the tent next to it before going inside the tent that is behind her and begin to heal the soldiers giving you 0.1 percent Shayzien favor for every soldier you treat.
Once you have exhausted your Medpacks , run back to the tent next to you and choose a new inventory that is full and continue on. You can also bring Stamina potions to help speed the process.
Repeat the process until you reach 40% favour. You can continue doing it until you're 100%, but eventually you'll get bored, therefore it's your choice.
2 Take part in The "Tackle organised crime" Shayzien activity. To complete this task, you'll have to talk with the Captain Ginea who is in a tent located just north of the Medpack's tent, and then ask him "Do you know about any meetings currently?", then he will give you information about the next meeting of the gang, such as where and when it will occur.
However, keep in mind that you'll need adequate weapon and armour to be able to kill the criminals. After he has given you the details, you should examine this Link for the exact location they will appear. You should keep doing that until reaching 100 100% Shayzien favour.
By gaining 100% Shayzien favour, you'll have access to the Shayzien Armour level 5 and being able to kill Lizardman Shamans .
To get the Shayzien Armour level 5 you'll need to take on five warriors within the combat ring located to the west of Captain Ginea. You must kill each one five times until you get the complete armour for each tier. After that, take off the 14th armour for each tier, and keep the fifth armour. You will definitely require food, decent armour and a weapon to kill them so be aware of that.
When you wear the Shayzien armor, tier 5 it will shield your body from the deadly attack of Lizardman Shamans, which can cause a huge damage to you.
Now , you're almost ready to eliminate the Lizardman Shamans , but first you have to know how to reach them, what equipment you'll require, the inventory setup, the cannon placement and how to take them out.
The gear you'll need:
Shayzien armour tier 5
The Rune crossbow, also known as the blowpipe (depends on your level)
Amulet of Glory or higher
Ring of Wealth (collects the gold coins and takes you out into the Grand Exchange)
Ava's accumulator
3. killing Brutal Black Dragons (Med)
Killing Brutal Black Dragons is very effective in generating money as well as increase your Ranged level, but the required Slayer level to kill them makes this strategy difficult to utilize. If you've got the required Slayer level, it will be very efficient for you to make use of this method.
4. Killing Gorillas that are Demonic (Hard)
Killing Demonic Gorillas is an excellent method to improve your combat skills while making a decent amount of money. The combat mechanism is hard, but you will be able to master it in the shortest amount of time.
How to Kill:
Demonic Gorillas have the ability to invoke prayers similar to us, they pray Protect from Missiles when you're using Ranged, and Protect From Melee If you're using Melee. They'll change between prayers after you have dealt more than 50 points of damage them using the attack mode like:
If you are using Ranged when they pray to be protected from Melee , they will switch into Protect from Missiles at the point you cause 50+ damage as well. The same thing happens when you use Melee to protect yourself from Missiles .
You will need switch to a different attack method to continue to damage them once they change their prayers.
They can also use the three attack styles (Ranged Melee, Magic) They will change between the styles after they have performed 3 attacks from one of the styles.
That's why you need to utilize RuneLite to identify when they are likely to alter their approach as the counter-prayers above and you'll be able to change your prayers quicker.
So if they use Ranged then you pray Protect From Missiles , if they are using Melee then you pray to Protect From Melee If they're using Magic then you pray Protect From Magic .
The mechanism for fighting is complicated, but you will get used to it quickly. By doing that you could get the equivalent of 2.2M Gold per hour, and not forgetting the special drops like Zenyte Shard which costs 14M and has a chance of dropping of 1/300.
5 - Killing Vorkath (Very Hard)
Killing Vorkath is among the most profitable endgame earning strategies that can yield roughly 2/3M Gold per hour. In actuality, it's a lot of work including the achievement of a challenging quest However, what you ought to know is that Vorkath is arguably the easiest boss to defeat in the endgame of OSRS, which makes the effort required to meet the requirements very worthwhile.
Notes:
Rune Pouch is used as a casting device for House Teleport and Crumble Undead , I will explain why later.
There is a possibility of bringing Anti-venom+ or Extended Super Antifire, but in my view, it's a waste of money.
The kills per trip varies depending on your gear and level of combat, however generally speaking, you'll see more kills per journey with Dragon Hunter Crossbow .
How do you get there and out of there
The most efficient way to reach there is to go to World #330 since it's the house party world. Use the House Teleport (runes) to find a host with high Construction level and visit their house and use to use the Portal Nexus to teleport to Lunar Isle.
How to kill:
Killing Vorkath is simple and you will get used to it the more you kill it, but you'll find it kinda hard in the beginning.
First of all, Vorkath is a melee attacker that is extremely damaging, therefore don't be in front of it. Once you are there take one dose of Ranging potion, one dose of the Extended Antifire potion , apply your quick-prayers to kill it.
If you're planning to make use of Blowpipe , then utilize Protect From Magic and Eagle Eye or Rigour , If not, you can utilize Protect from Missiles and Eagle Eye or Rigour , because while using Blowpipe , the boss will cause massive damage to you from it's dragonfire attacks as you cannot use Anti-Dragon Shield . However, if you're using the Dragon Hunter Crossbow , you can utilize your shield (plus an potion) to mitigate the magic damage.
Be aware that you can be injured by the ranged attack when using Blowpipe which has a max hit of 35. Also the same applies to Dragon Hunter Crossbow , but it's a non-dragonfire attack which has a maximum hit of 30.
Some important notes:
Turn off your quick-prayer during the two special attacks so that you can save some of your prayer points. You can restart it before the normal attack starts.
Consume food when it is needed being frozen.
Make use of 1 amount of Ranging potion at the start of each kill.
Teleport to the House if are about to die and you don't need to shell out 100K Gold to get your items back.
Killing Vorkath is a great way to earn huge earnings per hour, but you can also get some unusual drops, including Draconic Visage and Skeletal Visage . Both are priced at eight million and 37 million gold respectively and a drop rate of 1/5000.
That's all, hope you can locate a method to set up your account and start making money. Stay tuned for more guides in the future. Do not hesitate to ask me questions in the comments!
