This guide is for members who wish to profit from combat. As a general rule, pick the strategy which requires the least consumables (food and potions). Remember that consumables cost money and time, and have to be accounted for when using combat to profit. Part of profiting through combat involves the speed at which players can kill the monsters.
The following list details monsters that do not require a Slayer level to fight or kill. For making money with Slayer, see the Slayer money making guide.
| Effectiveness | Requirements | Details |
|---|---|---|
|
***** | Kill chaos druids in the Edgeville Dungeon. Chaos druids produce good money for almost all levels. Druids can drop rare herbs, along with many mid-level herbs, and are close to a bank. Level 10 Dungeoneering is required to enter the dungeons. However there are several Chaos druid spawns east of the dungeon entrance, be cautious as this is in the wilderness. If you die you will lose all of your items. Using a Macaw pouch (Level 41 Summoning) improves the herb drops so that it is possible to get 4 inventory loads of ranarr or better herbs in an hour from the druids and the spawns.

***** | 53 Magic | Kill cockroach soldiers in the Stronghold of Player Safety North of Gunnarsgrunn. Make the carapace into carapace torsos to save inventory space. A set of carapace legs at the end. Wield the earth blast spell with a mystic lava staff and use an Amulet of Glory to return to the bank. One should also use the Momentum ability. After Hero's Quest, one will no longer lose money by using Amulet of Glory teleports because one will be able to recharge the amulet in the Heroes' Guild.
|
|
***** | 140+ Combat | The chaos dwarves found in the Taverley Dungeon can be killed for muddy keys (an uncommon drop), mithril bars, and bones. Usually uncrowded in most worlds, this spot provides good experience, although food will be required.
Muddy keys sell for 3,122, and are a semi-common drop from the chaos dwarves. Each bank trip with 28 muddy keys results in about 87,416 coins. The mithril bars could also be sold for 1,492. Players should be wary, as they are quite accurate even with high defence. Note that they can hit up to 66 hitpoints, and are located quite close to lesser demons.
|
|
***** | 80+ | Kill snails Found south of Canifis for their thin snails which are worth a very decent  957. Excellent Money making for lower levels. There is a Bank in Canifis. Kill the level 9-15 snails and beware of Ghasts. Bring your silver sickles and your druid pouch.
When you are out of stacks in your druid pouch, there is an altar to the west of Canifis, near the bridge. With your prayer you will be able to use bloom to stack up your pouch. Otherwise the ghasts will hit you or spoil your food.
|
|
***** | 50+ Combat | Killing flesh crawlers for herbs such as ranarr, dwarf weed, lantadyme, avantoe, kwuarm, and runes. Less desirable herbs like guam and tarromin should be left on the ground as they cut into profit. As well, players are advised to bring a Ring of Wealth, as Flesh Crawlers are on the list of Rare Drop Table monsters and can thus provide a load of money, provided the player gets lucky.
|
|
***** | Requires Cabin Fever quest completed | The snakes located on Mos Le'Harmless have a 100% chance of dropping snake hide which is worth  2,478 coins each. Antipoison is highly recommended.
|
|
***** | Killing Tortoises north of the Tree Gnome Stronghold's Spirit Tree in Trainer Nacklepen's Tortoise Training Ground. Tortoises can drop up to three tortoise shells, which sell for  13,532 coins each. They also drop some valuable grimy herbs(E.g.:Grimy ranarr. The level 76 tortoises have a max hit of 100, while the level 92 tortoise has a max hit of 120. All are inaccurate. It is also important to note that they are located directly north of a swamp which spawns swamp toads. These toads heal quite a bit, so bringing food is not necessary.
| |
|
***** | 80+ combat | Killing green dragons is a very common and effective way to make money. These dragons always drop green dragonhides and dragon bones, which sell for 1,913 coins and 2,187 coins each respectively. This makes each green dragon worth at least 4,100 coins.
Green dragons are found mainly in the Wilderness, so beware of player killers when hunting them. A few can also be found in the Chaos Tunnels, although this is a multicombat area so proceed with caution. With a familiar and a quick banking method, you can easily make a decent amount of money in an hour. Potions and prayers/curses can be used to speed up kills. See Green dragon/Strategies for more information.

|
***** | Rewards from the Barrows activity include valuable runes, bolt racks and Barrows equipment. Pieces of Barrows equipment can sell for anywhere between 445,352 coins to 739,838 coins a piece. The Nature Spirit quest is helpful, as it grants access to a shortcut to Barrows. Completion of In Aid of the Myreque is helpful as it opens a bank in Burgh de Rott, which shortens time between trips. Also, The Branches of Darkmeyer will give an item that will allow quick teleport to the Barrows, as well as banks in Burgh de Rott and Darkmeyer. Completing the Hard task set of Morytania doubles the amount of runes received, allowing near-maxed players to pull over one million coins per hour before factoring any barrows items received.

|
***** | Blue dragons can be killed in much the same manner as green dragons. They always drop blue dragonhide (worth 2,330 coins) and dragon bones (worth 2,187 coins). Ranged and melee are the most efficient ways to kill them quickly.
The Ogre Enclave (requires Watchtower quest) and Taverley Dungeon (70+ Agility recommended for shortcut) are two of the most popular places to kill blue dragons.
| |
|
***** | Killing Ankous are one of the most popular ways for collecting what they drop a lot. They drop blood and death runes more frequently than any other monster in-game, and are extremely weak for their level. They drop a large variety of noted items, and also can drop items from the rare drop table. However, they drop coins for the majority of the time.
| |
|
***** | Killing Black Unicorn in the level 18 wilderness is a good way of collecting unicorn horns as there are 15-16 of them.Unicorn horns are currently selling for 1,979 each.Players are advised to bring items only which they are willing to lose since they are located in the wilderness.
| |
|
***** | 125+ | Killing Fire Giant in the Chaos Tunnels Are fairly easy to kill, with a Ring of wealth you can easily get rune equipment, charms, and access to the rare loot table. A stack of 12 Rune arrow drops frequently along with Fire rune, Nature rune, and Law rune. All tier of gems drop quite often, and 15gp-12k drop. Another common drop is the Fire battlestaff. All of this combined will net you a decent profit, along with some nice combat experience, and some great slayer experience if you're tasked here.

|
***** | At a combat level of 160 and higher, soloing the Giant Mole should be fairly easy. Go to a non-Lootshare world and kill it alone. It is easy to make a few hundred thousand coins in 3-4 kills, and the Mole is a good source of Blue Charms as well, dropping 2 per kill with a rate of around 2 blue charms every 10 kills. You can either sell the hides and claws dropped by the Giant Mole or trade them in for nests that yield seeds, and can then be crushed with a pestle and mortar and sold. At a combat level of 190 or higher with extreme potions, turmoil, and a combat/BoB familiar or a very high ranged level, a cannon, and a combat/BoB familiar you'll be earning at least 500k an hour (possibly more if seeds from nests and other notable drops are taken into account). If you're looking for a cheaper way and aren't as high of a combat level, just buy some monkfish and some energy potions, and go down there and use one every time a stat starts to get low.Kills are very long so prepare to spend a while here.Please view the Giant Mole page for strategies.

|
***** | Kill Waterfiends in the Ancient cavern. They often drop noted water orbs, water battlestaves, and rune helms. While they don't have exceptionally valuable drops, most drops are stackable and add up to a large value quickly. Armour with high magic defence and prayer potions strongly advised.
| |
|
***** | Ranged 50+, Recommended 70+ | Killing mature grotworms in the Grotworm Lair is another excellent way to make money. However, their drops are very random. Some people report making 200k an hour, while others report 600k+ an hour, although the drops have been significantly worsened to a point where it is difficult to make 400k+ an hour. Their valuable drops, such as the rune Longsword, and runite ore are, however, a steady source of income. They sell for high prices on the G.E or street price (more than their G.E price.) Depending on your combat stats, equipment, and the luck of drops, players can accumulate millions of coins quickly and efficiently at a reasonable rate. Their combat level is 120, and a level of 80+ with some prayer, melee (recommended using ranged, especially bolts), and food can easily make a decent amount of coins. ALWAYS WEAR a Ring of Wealth here, as they have access to the rare drop table. They are weak to ranged, bolts in specific, so bring good ranged equipment. You should at least have level 50 ranged, however it is recommended to have level 70. Your main drops are Rune items, runite ore, and Blood runes, making this a respectable way to make gold. The downside to this method is the extensive botting in the dungeon. Currently there is not as much bots as before.
Don't forget to bring nature runes and a staff with an unlimited supply of fire runes or fire runes to high alch the rune equipment as this gains more profit than selling them on the Grand Exchange and reduces the need to bank. At higher levels, with turmoil and extremes, it's possible to make over 1 million coins per hour. Note: The 8/7/2012 update stopped the drop of certain rune items like the rune chainbody.

|
***** | Summer's End quest | Killing the Tormented wraith may be a good way of profit. It can drop the Spirit shield and Holy elixir (albeit a rarer rate than the Corporeal Beast), and is quite easy to kill. It also drops noted iron ore and oak planks, which can be sold to other players at a decent price. It also drops Black equipment, which is quite rare to find outside apart from specific monsters (Black demons, Giant rock crabs). With high combat stats and the best BoB you can bring, profit per hour can increase by 200000 coins. Remember you must bring Jennica's Ring and complete Summer's End.

|
***** | In Aid of the Myreque quest, or (optional) Darkness of Hallowvale quest | Going on the Burgh de Rott and Temple Trekking minigames can be very profitable. As red tickets provide very high level herbs (from Grimy candantines to Grimy torstols), which, if a player is lucky in one of the trips, may provide over 400k. Players may also make profit by killing the Nail beasts, which provide an ingredient for a Sanfew serum, Fiyr shades for their remains, which are currently worth 3,859. Snails may also provide Crafting XP and coins if their shells are taken to Barlak.
|
|
***** | Troll Stronghold, 60 Strength/Agility | Killing Aviansies can provide a decent amount of coins. Their commonly noted drop of four adamant bars provides 3,242 (x4). They also drop a decent amount of alchable equipment, such as Runite limbs, and Rune daggers. To improve profits, a high ranged level is recommended.
|
|
***** | Killing Revenants in the Forinthry Dungeon is another excellent way to create money. Their valuable drops, such as the Vesta's longsword, Ancient statuette, and Statius's warhammer are worth millions of coins. They sell for extremely high prices on the G.E or street price (more than their G.E price.) Depending on your combat stats, equipment and the luck of drops, players can accumulate millions of coins quickly and efficiently at a reasonable rate. Be wary of PKers, however, who frequently visit the area. For more information on this approach see the Pay-to-play Revenant hunting guide.

|
***** | Recommended 150+ Combat level and 70+ Agility, so you can use shortcut in Taverley dungeon | Kill Black dragons in Taverley dungeon. They drop always Black dragon hide and Dragon bones. One kill is worth about 8k.
Take 2 Antifire(4) with you, and some Prayer potions for Protect from Magic, and take some food, for example Sharks. Beast of burden like Pack Yak, or Spirit Terrorbird helps you to get maximized loot. It is recommended to kill dragons as long as you have enough food. You can bury the bones, which are much cheaper than dragon hides, so your inventory can be filled with more dragon hides. Although Black dragons' weakness is arrows, you will need much more Ranged level than Melee skills. Don't take Anti-dragon shield but take Antifires + Protect from Magic prayer, so you can use much higher damaging weapons like godswords.
|
|
***** | A combat level of 150 or higher. Access to the fairy rings is strongly recommended. | Brutal Green Dragons always drop 2 Green d'hide and 1 Dragon Bone, making them worth around 7k per kill. Using turmoil, a war tortoise, dual chaotics, super antifire, 99 attack and 99 strength, 1m/hr is achievable.
|
|
***** | While Guthix Sleeps quest | Killing Tormented Demons is very profitable. They drop Dragon claws and Off-hand dragon claws (both claws are part of the same drop) which are worth 206,769 and 324,966 coins each, respectively, and also drop Ruined dragon armour slices, lumps and shards, all worth at least 1,131,943 coins each. They also have a chance of dropping Dragon limbs, worth 17,351,303 coins.
