Suggestion: Red Spider Eggs[]

So basically while this method is trumped by the Limpwurt Roots method (presuming you have at least 20 levels in dungeoneering), it can be usefull for beginner players, or simply players with a decent combat level, but low enough stats not to be able to use more effective ways to earn money. While I'm uncertain of the exact level Deadly Red Spiders stop attacking you, I do know collecting their eggs are very profiteable, especially for F2P.

Their specific spawn locations and spawn times can be located [here][1].

One may need to switch to an empty(ish) world to efficiently farm these things, but yeah... Pretty decent somewhat beginner's method! (Basically precursor to the Limpwurt root one).

Suggestion for a guide (Crafting Mud runes)[]

I've been crafting mud runes for a while now, and I'm not too sure why it's not listed on the guides list.

It's great profit per hour, I can't give an exact number, but it's definitely between 1.5m and 2m, with low (ish) requirements.

I highly recommend this method as I use it myself!

Need:

  • Ring of duelling (For castle wars teleport)
  • Access to balloon transport to varrock
  • Pouches recommended
  • Be on Lunar spellbook

Try it for yourselves! :)  —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 151.224.16.244 (talk) on 20:36, May 25, 2014 (UTC).

Meat Pies[]

Eating meat pies and then selling the pie dishes (both on the grand exchange ) can rake in a profit of just under 300k (assuming the buy limit of 1000 pies is reached), requiring no skill and minimal investment.

Crafting Nature Runes in the Abyss[]

This information seems extremely idealistic possibly even unrealistic! I always organize the servers for least ping before I start and I usually get a server with around 32 ping. I have 55 agility, 91 Runecrafting, 61 mining with dragon pick and my weight is -3kg. I installed stop watch software on my computer that allows me to start and stop it with F2 and F3. Even on the most idealistic runs when I sqeeze through the gaps and or mine the rocks on my first try and subtracting 3 seconds for the time it actually takes me to reach my finger to the F keys to start and stop the timer witch is generous. It takes me an average of 1 minute 21 seconds per run and ive repeated it continously untill I could average 10 runs (the ideal runs only). I didn't even include the seconds it takes me to swap out my amulet of glorys every 4 runs or the time it takes for me to repair my rune pouches if I did the average would be considerably higher. So even assuming that every run would be ideal at 1 minute 21 seconds thats 81 seconds per run (3600/81)=44.4 Runs per hour. Am I doing something inefficiently or do these guides assume 0 ping, 0 lag, and 0 mistakes, and 99 Agility and Mining(both of witch should be irrelevant because I only averaged runs where I broke through on the first try)? If so then I don't agree the guide should say "At average speed, one can...do about 60 trips.....per hour". Its still a pretty good way too make money right around 1.5m/hr but the trips per hour rate is pretty off and as a result the cash per time is inaccurate.  —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 75.130.238.183 (talk) on 21:26, June 19, 2014 (UTC).

Flatpacks at Misc[]

Found a good way of making money with miscellania. After completing the Fremmenik Hard tasks (required for blood runs deep), you're able to deposit flatpacks in exchange for more cash than you'd normally pay on the GE. I can make 120 runs from miscellania to the GE in an hour, earning me a profit of 1 526 040 gp. I buy M'gany arm'r cases off GE for 35 gp, although they have a buy limit of 100. After a couple days they accumulate and I can take them to misc and earn 506 gp ea.

I set up a loadout with 27 flatpacks and one charged ring of wealth, switching that one out with the one I have equipped, teleporting between the GE and misc.

Thought this might be useful to add to the moneymaking list.  —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.219.4.66 (talk) on 08:56, June 26, 2014 (UTC).

I always take 28 flatpacks, hand them in, go downstairs buy feathers bait and small nets, top up my %age, buy more feathers etc from etceteria, tp to GE, deposit (or sell) my loot, tp back with 28 more flatpacks and collect my produce. Rich Farmbrough, 18:32 30 June 2017 (UTC).

Harvesting Pale Energy at the South of Draynor[]

Requirements: none

All you do is harvest energies from pale wisps and also turn all memories into pale energy.

In about 10mins of doing so you get around 367 pale energy which is around 20,000. This makes it 200,000 gp/h. It is a great method for people who just started as it has no requirements and no starting cash needed at all. Rokit (talk) 13:41, June 29, 2014 (UTC)

         


Comment by Anonymous:

Unless you don't realize, there aren't 100 minutes in an hour.... There are 60... So it would actually be 120,000 gp/h not 200,000 gp/h. 101.80.185.43 09:19, January 1, 2015 (UTC)

Casting Ophidian Incubation[]

Note that at the time of this posting, Cockatrice eggs are going for around 500 Gold on the GE, while regular eggs are going for around 850 Gold. I can't imagine such a tremendous discrepancy will tend to be very temporary, so this method may be entirely outdated and unusable unless you like losing millions instead of making them. 99.100.166.197 07:51, July 2, 2014 (UTC)

Misleading/obsolete guides/updating[]

I think it would be useful to include disclaimers at the beginning of certain guides so that players don't end up wasting millions on useless methods. Charging Earth Orbs on paper looks pretty because it makes over 1 million an hour nominally and only needs like 68 magic, but the guide neglects to mention that practically no one buys the bloody things: I have (and I'm not exaggerating at all here) made around 300 of them, am offering them for less than half of the GE price, and not a single one has sold in two weeks. A million gold down the drain, for absolutely nothing. On the other hand, sharks are always in demand and can make at least 200,000 an hour, but it's nowhere here, while we have lovely things like making legends scrolls for NEGATIVE 3 million an hour. Brainwasher5 (talk) 21:35, July 16, 2014 (UTC)

There already is a disclaimer at the bottom of the guides. It's the readers' duty to check a method before they invest heavily into it. Sharks are not mentioned because they're not that great. They're maybe 150k/hr max, not within our threshold for inclusion. Steel of legends is there because it used to be an amazing method, but it has fallen out of its prime. MolMan 21:42, July 16, 2014 (UTC)

Really? Then why is making anchovy pizzas here? That's well below the threshold of 150k. So are like, half of all the non-members methods.

It might be useful to add a risk assessment (low-medium-high) to the pages to let readers know how likely they are to see any of the money they invested ever again. So for example clay pretty much always sells, while you might sell one orb per two years if you're astoundingly lucky. Brainwasher5 (talk) 21:44, July 16, 2014 (UTC)

When methods are made, they are past the threshold. Indeed members methods have a higher threshold than nonmembers, but that's because nonmembers have less available to them. MolMan 21:49, July 16, 2014 (UTC)

Is it that far-fetched of an idea to take out money-making methods that haven't been competitive in a really, really long time? And I highly doubt that making anchovy pizzas has, in any point of runescape history, been more profitable per hour than fishing sharks. Brainwasher5 (talk) 02:03, July 17, 2014 (UTC)

If you see a method doesn't work, couldn't you just, ya know, not use it? That idea isn't too farfetch'd. And I'm not sure if you've ever fished sharks, but they're not a good method at all really... MolMan 02:08, July 17, 2014 (UTC)

They barely require any attention, people actually buy them, and you actually make money...which is more than I can say for half of the guides here. I've made 2.4 million so far this membership fishing sharks, which is 2.4 million more than any of the methods I've tried so far on this list. So there's that.

By the way, the point I had about the pizzas up there wasn't that non-members should make as much or more money than members, that'd be preposterous. I'm just saying that fishing sharks makes more money per hour than anchovy pizzas, and certainly makes around 3.2 million more per hour than steel of legends scrolls, yet anchovy pizzas and scrolls are deemed to be acceptable money making methods on this page while sharks "don't pass the threshold".

Sure I can not use the guides that are useless now that I know which ones are useless, but that doesn't mean that this page isn't wasting anyone else's time. Is it too much to ask, ya know, edit the page? It's a wiki. Wikis are supposed to change over time. Refusing to edit out stuff because "it worked at one time" on a wiki is much more ridiculous than the concept of someone reading this page and trying out a method to see if it works. Brainwasher5 (talk) 13:46, July 17, 2014 (UTC)

It does change over time. The idea is that if something was a good method at one point, it can be good again. I've talk it over with the other people who are heavily involved in this project about deleting steel of legends. As for anchovy pizzas, that was making over 4m/hr a couple years back. The list changes to sort by profit so that methods that lose profitability don't stay at the top. Sharks and fishing in general are just not good money makers. MolMan 13:55, July 17, 2014 (UTC)

Can they be updated...more? When was the last time steel of legends scrolls was good? Also, saying that sharks are a bad money maker is an oversimplification if I ever saw one. EVERY single guide here makes some generous assumptions: that the inputs required are easy to get, that they will sell reliably, and that prices don't fluctuate much (at least, not enough to warrant a semi-constant updating of this page apparently). None of these are always true in the Runescape economy. A theoretical profit of 1 million per hour doesn't mean jack if you can't obtain the raw materials or you can't find a seller for the finished goods. Sharks can ALWAYS be found, and they ALWAYS sell. That in itself is a valuable trait to many. There's a reason that almost every world has around 1-10 people fishing sharks at the fishing guild. Dismissing it as a money making method because it doesn't (in a theoretical, perfect world) make as much money as some of the others listed here (although still substantially more than many of the ones listed here I might add) is more than a little presumptuous.

Which brings me back to one of my original points, I really don't see the harm of adding a box for each of the methods here based on their reliability and risk. I'll do them myself if I have the time, it shouldn't be that hard to implement. Brainwasher5 (talk) 12:55, July 24, 2014 (UTC)

Sharks can be found, but they're slow. I can tell you from personal experience and testing that is just an absolutely awful method for the skills required. I'm not sure what you mean by adding a box, but please don't make any changes like that without a proper consensus. I was mostly rejecting your suggestions based on the then-current consensus of how to handle money making guides. I've been talking it over with the other members of the project, and we've decided to make {{MMG prices}} specifically for the armadyl runes guide, and have also amended the steel of legends guide. In response to your complaint, I added a suggestion to the template that appears at the bottom of every page that acts as a further disclaimer for GE prices. We can't test all of them all the time for the same reason we don't keep street prices. This stuff is too dynamic, and the beauty of these guides is that unless an update changes them (like has happened with muspahs or tormented demons), then the guide shouldn't need to be changed. If you truly truly believe a method can only ever lose money and has been doing so for a long period of time (let's say 3 weeks), you're free to add this new template to the top. MolMan 13:11, July 24, 2014 (UTC)

That's a satisfactory answer to me for the most part. One more thing about sharks though: people like them because they're very low maintenance, so it's a great thing to do while you are doing other things like homework or cleaning. Brainwasher5 (talk) 15:49, July 24, 2014 (UTC)

Turn Goat Horns Into Dust[]

Just did a test of this a little bit ago, turned exactly one thousand goat horns into dust, in exactly 14:24 and making a profit of 393k, which if I did my math correctly and I did, You can turn 4213.5 goat horns into dust every horn, and the profit that you make off of that is 1,665,905 an hour with exactly zero skills needed, only to be a member and have very little starting cash.

Test Info

Horns cost : 1.436 mil for 1k

Dust sold : 1.829 mil for 1k.

Profit 393k in 14:24 and doing 4213.5 horns in one hour will yield around 1.666 mil an hour.  —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.51.143.100 (talk) on 03:39, July 20, 2014 (UTC).


-EDIT: 10/26/2015 Hg767 (talk) 15:19, October 26, 2015 (UTC)Hg767

This post seems very outdated, given that the price for goat horns now is only 358gp, and goat horn dust is only 525gp. For beginning members with little money and low skills, this method has become even more feasible given the low values of desert goat horn.

I have been reading many complaints in the discussion section about how people get stuck with their items because no one will buy them, and I answer with this; Goat horn dust is used in smoke devil pouches which costs only 5.4gp per summoning experience point (http://runescape.wikia.com/wiki/Summoning_pouches). While this is not the most efficent gain of xp, it certainly is better than most. For this reason I believe the Goat Horn method will be a longlasting method of making money, especially considering that the fans of the Corporeal Beast will offer a neverending supply of Desert Goat Horns to be ground up. 

The highest paying method with no requirements on the guide right now is looting ogre coffins, which gives approximately 713k/hr. The addition of the the goat horn dust method to the main guide will help players with low levels and little money expand their banks and afford the equipment they need.

On one final note I would like to thank all of you who've collaborated and put this money making guide together. It must have been a  pain in the ass and it doesn't seem too many people voice their appreciation. So thank you.

Click here. ʞooɔ 18:11, October 26, 2015 (UTC)

EDIT:

This method is largely dependent on GE availability of horns. The horns areregularly unavailable at 1gp BELOW market price of dust, rendering it nearly profitless unless you wait out availability. Generally speaking it is no longer a reliable, viable option for profit. 73.239.166.37 08:23, January 6, 2016 (UTC)

qbd buff[]

As of July ??, whenever lgeacy came out, qbd has been buffed and hits constant 2ks with range attack. SS method requires switching to and from range pray to become effective.96.49.225.92 06:05, July 24, 2014 (UTC)

Picking Mort Myre Fungus[]

So, this is a bit inefficient, as using purely prayer renewals is more efficient than prayer renewals and potions. Bloom needs any amount of prayer points to work, so by using prayer renewals instead, you can constantly cast bloom at 1 prayer point. As such, a tad bit over 2k fungus can be collected an hour using morytania legs and the deadliest catch bank deposit box with purely prayer renewals. 2 flasks will last for a bit more than an hour of fungus picking without banking for refills. This makes the profit, at the time of writing this, closer to 2.5m an hour.

(I forgot to make a heading for this the first time.)

Making irit potions (unf)?[]

I notice that while making most of the potions (unf) is profitable and listed here, irit's not even though the cost of the raw materials is a couple hundred cheaper than the finished product. Is it just not viable? Does no one buy them or something? Brainwasher5 (talk) 20:08, July 25, 2014 (UTC)

All the (unf) guides were made at the same time, and looking at the charts, it seems irits were unprofitable at that time. MolMan 20:12, July 25, 2014 (UTC)

When casting fruitfall I find that the area north of the Gnome agility course is best. It allows me to use the Leprechaun from the fruit tree patch to note all the fruit. Including fruit from the bat foraging. And the mini-obelisk allows me to bring more than one fruit bat pouch. Also with the leprechaun noting my fruit I can also pick up bananas, pineapples and oranges as well as papaya for a little extra proift and no stops for banking.

Looting killed cows[]

After running back and forth with timed runs to and from the Taverley cow pen / Burthorpe bank, I've determined that simply grabbing the loot dropped by people training their skills can yield a significant amount of cash.

If you're killing cows to get all drops, it will take about one and a half minutes to go there, get a full inventory and return to the bank with your loot, stopping by Jack Oval to tan looted hides. A full inventory I got in 1 minute 30 seconds using the Chain spell carefully was worth 9,151 coins market price. For comparison, grinding for just hides yields 12,656 coins but I took 2 minutes 30 seconds to get it.

Calculating carefully, this means 366,040 coins an hour by just killing cows versus 182,246 coins an hour harvesting only the cowhides - over double the coin yield per hour! Kusibu (talk) 02:11, August 9, 2014 (UTC)

Recurring Suggestion - Spinning Flax collected from Geoffrey[]

Basically, after completing the Elite Seers Village tasks, you'll be able to claim 200 flax from Geoffrey, which you can unnote at the nearby bank and spin into bowstring with the help of the Seer's Headband 2-4. At the time of the post, doing this would give around 78K when the Elite Tasks are completed, 46.8K with the Hard Tasks, 23.4K with the Medium Tasks and 11.7K with the Easy Tasks. It also gives a small but decent amount of Crafting experience, giving a maximum of 3000 Crafting experience without boosts. NimbusSpark (talk) 02:06, August 24, 2014 (UTC)

Risk Factor[]

We should have a risk factor for each money making method. That way it will warn the users how much of a loss of profit it may cause because the prices may be different based on the instant buy and sell. Puretppc (talk) 23:54, September 30, 2014 (UTC)

There already is a warning that prices are based on the official database. We can't feasibly get profit margins constantly to keep our guides "risk free". It is already recommended to the reader that they check prices before investing heavily in a method. Adding a "risk factor" will be wasted and pointless effort.

Mithril Seeds[]

~Planting mithril seeds~
Buying mithril seeds at market price is easy, usually instant. Selling flowers at around 1300 avg each, also instant sell on g.e gives about 900 gp (conservative) profit each seed.

I timed ~1:22 minutes each set of 27 flowers which gives just 49 sets an hour. 27*49 = 1323 flowers an hour. 1323 * 900 gp = 1.2 million per hour easily

With no starting requirements other than a few hundred thousand gp this definitely belongs on the money making page.

With an input box containing the list of skills where you can input your own, or more simply, just your username and the data is then gathered from main site, it can hide the ones you are unable to do(levels required), and show the ones you can do(including recommended skills), along with a quest list(could be saved to wikia profile for easier and quicker access) so it can hide/show more you are fully able to do.

New Columns in Hourly Profit Chart[]

I have some suggestions to add three new columns to the hourly profit chart to help players more. The first column would be the maximum hourly profit. The information in this column would be the total profit made using this method, taking into account the buy limit for the input item(s) required for the money making method. For example, currently, the profit for fletching headless arrows is 480,000 per hour, which is gained when fletching 40,000 headless arrows each hour - the number of headless arrows one could fletch in an hour if they had the supplies. The maximum hourly profit column would tell the user that it would take them 0.25 hours (15 minutes) to make 120,000 gp profit, which is because the buy limit for feathers is 10,000 every four hours, meaning that without stockpiling supplies, the user could only make a 120,000 gp profit, taking them 0.25 hours to do so.

The layout for this column could be:

                                    Maximum Hourly Profit

Fletching headless arrows | 120,000 in 0.25 hours

The second new column that should be added is an Actual Hourly Profit column. The addition of this column would also mean that there would need to be an addition of a way for users to input Grand Exchange prices of items. This column would allow for players to see a true representation of the profit per hour, instead of one based on the market price of items, which is rarely ever the actual price of the item. For this column to work, users would enter in the minimum price required to instantly buy the input item(s) for the money making method, and the maximum price required to instantly sell the finished item(s), at the current time. Based on this information, the column would display a more realistic hourly profit estimate. The addition of this column, however, would require players to input Grand Exchange prices manually, as well meaning that this column could often be inaccurate if the prices of some items fluctuate a lot.

The third new column is a combination of the previous two columns that I thought should be added. The third column would be the Actual Maximum Hourly Profit column. It would take the Actual Hourly Profit value and display a new value based on the buy limit of the input item(s), to show a more realistic hourly profit value for the method.

Of course, if these columns are added to the chart, I would not want the current hourly profit column to be removed, as players who had stockpiled input item(s) for money making could still rely on these numbers for money making. Also, I understand that the second and third column ideas I proposed could be problematic, if players input an incorrect value for the Grand Exchange price of an item. However, I'm sure a solution can be found - in the worst scenario, players could rely on the columns which show data based on the market value of the items, which would be correct.

Tanning dragonhide[]

Hi, the tanning leather sections would need a new batch. Right now we have 2 packs; Run-tanning (2800 hides per hour) and magic-tanning (5000 hides per hour). We need a new batch for Priffdinas-tanning. It requires alot of levels, but it can tan much much more. I got 11,424 hides on my first hour. It is really click intensive and best done with infinite run. But as a money guide, we cannot refuse to recognize a method 4 times faster than Burthrope or Al-Kharid and that doesn't require hours of livid farm. Proulxs (talk) 16:30, November 11, 2014 (UTC)

Catching Wimpy birds.[]

Catching Wimpy birds for their feathers.

Requirements

  • 39 Hunter 
  • Completed As a First Resort
  • 2 or 3 bird snares
  • Tansymum (found right next to the hunting grounds)

Recommended

  • 40 Hunter to lay 3 traps

Simply teleport to the lodestone, grab around 10 tansymum then run East on the beach until you find a small peninsula on the South side.  Plant your traps in a straight line East to West about 4 blocks from the very Southern edge.  This will allow the birds enough space to fly in your traps quickly enough while avoiding the Kebbits.  After laying 1 trap light a tansymum and just wait, the birds fly in your traps, even when you're right there.  Recommended you stay close because of this.  Staying South should keep you in a bit of a blind spot for the diseased Kebbits (who attack you when using lit tansymum).  Doing this I easily got over 1200 feathers. PenTiger (talk) 04:49, January 2, 2015 (UTC)

Vis Wax[]

I think there should be a guide for making vis wax. As of Jan. 2015, the average profit is ca. 400K, and it probably takes less than 5 minutes. That would put the effective hourly profit right among the top money-making methods.

Requirement is 50 Runecrafting (to enter the Runecrafting Guild). Recommended items: wicked hood; a reserve of runes (see below).

The player should only use the six cheapest runes or so. If the player insists on getting the "perfect combination" for 100 vis wax, in extreme cases he might pay more in runes than what he gets in vis wax. Even in less extreme cases, the profits will be reduced. Experimenting with more than six or seven runes will not only use more expensive runes; it also takes more tries to experiment, which increases the cost. The cheapest runes can be obtained from the page "Rune Goldberg Machine" on this Wikia. (Unfortunately, the list of cheapest runes may change over time; this may make it harder to design a "dynamic" money-making guide, one that is updated according to current prices.)

The player keeps a decent stock of the six (or seven, or eight) cheapest runes, and uses the wicked hood to teleport to the Runecrafting Guild. As of this writing, the clan chat "viswax" can help find the best runes; but note that only the first rune is the same for all players; also, if the "best" rune happens to be an expensive one, don't use it, since that would reduce your profit.

The player should try to keep a reserve of at least 5-10 times the amount required, of each of the cheap runes, to make vis wax once. For instance, 5000-10,000 of each elementary rune, 1500-3000 chaos runes, etc.

The average vis wax obtained is probably somewhere around 80 vis wax a day (80 x 5925 = 474K coins, as of 2. January 2015); the average cost (using cheap runes) is less than 100K. Assuming the "n" cheapest runes are tried, this can be calculated as the 3/n times the sum of (base cost of each rune). To this, a factor must be added for the number of tries; I would estimate that less than 20 tries are required.

The player may either sell the vis wax, or - since it is very useful - use it himself, and thus save the cost of purchasing it. In either case, the profit calculation is valid.

Turning jugs of wine into jugs of water[]

Requirements: 163k

Suggested: 200k coins+

You could buy 1k of jugs of wine (1k=163k) off GE and drink them all and use the fountain to turn them into jugs of water (1k=500k) which brings you 337k profit and it takes around an hour!2.125.52.162 16:35, January 10, 2015 (UTC)

If this is added, it should be split into 2 different processes, 1) emptying the jugs of wine (163 each) and turning them into jugs (459 each) and 2) filling the empty jugs with water (which is probably already on here), as one process is likely to be more profitable than the other (my money's on #1). 96.244.144.198 20:57, January 10, 2015 (UTC)

Softening Clay[]

I found a good method of making money is to buy clay from the GE and then softening the clay at the Edgevill Bank. From what I've calculated, a profit ranging from 220k-320k per hour is possible. I would also like to mention that the buy and sell prices for soft clay are not reliable so you need to test it out yourself as the GE price does not reflect the true price most of the time.

Claiming logs from Coeden[]

After the Elite Tirannwn Task Set, one may claim 28 logs from him daily. The logs range from 28 Yew logs, 28 Magic logs, 28 Elder logs, or a random combination thereof. 28 Elder logs is the best result, and although 28 yew logs are undesirable, the elder logs will, over time, balance out the yew logs.

Flax into bowstrings[]

I really don't know why this hasnt been listed here yet but I've been spinning flax into bowstring forever and I've found that (and this is a number I came up with that's within reason that doesn't require me to go crazy) I can spin 1500 bowstring per hour. So if I buy 1500 flax at 77gp for  cost of 115,500gp and spin it all into bowstring ad sell it all for 379 each for a total of 568,500gp I would be making 453,000gp per hour. I do this by spinning in lumbridge castle since that and Seers' Village both have banks very close to a spinning wheel. Just thought I'd throw that out there for you to add.

Making Signs of Life, Death and Respite III all can turn decent profits per hour making them, the only hitch is getting enough energy to coninually do so, but even if you needed to buy above mid GE price for mass quantities of it from the forums, you still turn a decent profit, and thus I feel they're methods worth mentioning. 74.38.225.173 16:53, February 6, 2015 (UTC)

Risk Factor[]

After reading some of these topics, I have seen a lot of people suggesting a risk factor.

In all of these risk factor topics, dear MolMan replies that is wasted effort.

I disagree. A lot of players just see the money they can make per hour and get really excited. Example: the ophibian incubation.

The majority of the players don't look all the way down the bottom to read that they should check prices first.

Thus resulting in major gold loss. 


In conclusion: adding a risk factor, or just putting the disclaimer on the TOP of each page, will lead to less loss. I hope to see answers from other contributors than MolMan. Since he is not the only wiki editor.

Ice nihils[]

Nihils

With at least 87 Summoning, killing Nihils (specifically the ice variant for maximum profit/time) can be a good and fairly reliable method of money making. Ice Nihils drop Elder Charms and Icyene Feathers, which are untradeable drops used for making Ice nihil pouches, which are currently worth 100k. Not sure what the droprate of the feathers are, but they aren't too rare.

In addition to the charms and feathers, all Nihils can drop a variety of mid-priced stackable loot such as Lantadyme seeds (4 at a time), Onyx bolt tips (8 at a time), various mid-tier herbs, Uncut diamonds and the rare drop table. There's also an extremely slim (1 in a million) chance of getting a Zaryte bow, but that's too rare to be reliable.

Finally, Nihils appear in an instanced area, meaning there's no competition for killing them.

EDIT: Alright, I did a 1-hour session of killing nihils. Here's the data I got:

Equipment: Full superior void w/ ranger helmet, dual ccbows, Demon Slayer Boots, Amulet of Fury, RoW, Shard of Zaros. No aura used.

Inventory (per trip): 1 extreme ranging potion, 7 prayer potions, 8 rocktails, (Elite) Enhanced Excalibur, Sixth-Age circuit.

123 Ice nihil kills w/ 3 banking trips.

Input: 24 prayer potions, 21 rocktail, 2 extreme ranging potions, 300k gear repair cost, 1 steel titan pouch, ~20 Steel of Legends scrolls, 1000 Elder energies, 15 pouches. Total cost: about 589211 coins (estimated cost for extreme rangings).

Output: 15 Ice nihil pouches, 21 grimy lantadyme, 35 unicorn horns, 20 diamonds, 65 grimy cadantine, 88 onyx bolt tips, 48 lantadyme seeds, ~300 law runes, ~500k from coin and miscellaneous item drops. Total: about 4293476 coins. (Also got 1250 elder energy drops, but those were used to make the nihil pouches.)

Profit: about 3704265 coins.

Note that prices were calculated using the price checker, and might not accuractely reflect the buying and selling prices of items. Also, the time taken to make the pouches was not included.

Nihil[]

It's also almost 100% afk.

Pickpocketing Prifddinian Elves[]

I'm not very experienced in wiki editing but I think a guide should be made for pickpocketing prifddinian elves. I did some testing at level 98 and got 475-500k cash an hour plus around 400k in items. I did this while wearting the trahearn exoskeleton and arddy cape 4. I didnt bother using the abyssal lurker and its special but it might allow for even more pickpocketing. At around level 96 the first clan you pickpocketed shold have forgotten you by the time you're halfway through the 6th aallowing for continuous pickpocketing without waiting for them to forget. The value of loot gained from any clan averages about even after you factor rarity so it really doesntmatter who you pickpocket so long as you can do it continuosly

tl;dr Pickpocketing Prifddinian elves is about 900k/hr while wearing Trahearn exoskeleton and arddy cloak 4, abyssal lurker and its scrolls are optional

  • Death lotus darts (main and off-hand)
  • Full Armadyl
  • Sixth-age circuit
  • Dragon rider amulet
  • Ava's accumulator
  • Soul Split and Anguish curses active

I would suggest the following requirements/recommendations:

  • Fate of the Gods required
  • 90+ Ranged and Defence recommended
  • 96+ Herblore recommended
  • 92+ Prayer highly recommended; 95+ useful
  • 87+ Summoning highly recommended (for pouches); 96+ useful for yaks
  • 81+ Divination recommended (trasmutation for maximum pouch profit, though players can stockpile pouch ingredients until they reach the recommended level)
  • Tier 80+ ranged weapons highly recommended
  • Tier 70+ power armour will suffice; degradable armour not necessary

With these recommendations met, food should not be needed. With Ranged, players can also hit Ice nihil accurately and Shadow nihil somewhat accurately if Smoke nihil are not nearby. Blood Nihil are not recommended.

I'll be visiting the Freneskae pit a few more times to get a more accurate estimate of gp/hr. This seems to be a wonderful way to make money, and there is no reason it should not be on the list of money making guides. CapnCoconuts (talk) 21:11, June 24, 2015 (UTC)

Adding ROI to every guide when includable.[]

It's kinda dissapointing that you could make 10k in an hour, but you need to invest 14m or something. So, for guides that require inputs, add a ROI to it, if there are no inputs, don't put anything. SistemX 18:42, June 28, 2015 (UTC)

Most of the time, ROI is only relevant when you don't have much money, i.e., when you are just starting. Getting 10K an hour for an investment of 14M is not the usual situation, and I would recommend avoiding a "money-making method" that gives you 10K an hour anyway, even if your investment is zero - considering that there are so many methods that give you half a million an hour or more. Hilmarz (talk) 22:41, July 6, 2015 (UTC)

Revised[]

It's way better money and exp if you use the lumber yard tele scroll. You can do a trip in 30 secs instead of like 50, and the only extra cost is like 5k for the scroll. Makes around 3.5m an hour and 80k exp, which rivalsRunespan. Can use Tokkul-zo for banking.  —The preceding unsigned comment was added by DatGiygas (talk) on 12:12, July 9, 2015 (UTC).

Factual correction[]

The grotworm moneymaking guide is incorrect. They dont drop blood runes, but saradomin brew (2) instead, which is huge boost to money/hour. i got 600k-750k with 80 range, 70 defence, full armadyl equipment, archer's ring, amulet of ranging, ava's device (1st upgrade) and using armadyl crossbow on main hand/rune off-hand crossbow and wielding royal bolts. I was high alching rune and adamant item drops, while collecting runite ores and saradomin brews (making full dose vials after receiving 2 vials of (2).), and picking up sharks to prolong the trip. I also used fire staff instead of runes, and started the trips with 21 sharks, fire staff and nature runes in my inventory.

New Money Making Guide suggestion (Unf potions with portable wells)[]

With the portable wells, you can make drastically more money per hour than just simply making the potions. Let me explain:

One dwarf weed potion (unf) is currently 6,881gp guide price and one clean dwarf weed is 6,647 and the vial is 26 gp. This means just making the potion gives 208gp. If done at a well with the 5% chance to make another potion for FREE, this can be up to 7089gp per. Obviously, it would average out to be much less: 208gp + 6881 * 5% = 552.02gp per, increasing further with the scroll of cleansing: 6881 - (6647 * 0.9 + 26) + 6881 * 5% = 1216.75gp per potion! This can equate a theoretical 3.65m/hour profit (not counting bank time), assuming my math is correct.

Portable wells only cost 30k each. Using 12 in an hour removes 360k from the profits, but you can use an FC to get free wells. The profits are amazing with very little effort.Awesome Seal (talk) 19:40, August 25, 2015 (UTC)

Rune Dragon Money Making[]

I did a couple rune dragon slayer tasks and it was a great money making. Averaging 1 kill a minute, including about 2 elite spawns per hour (needs testing on spawn rates). whould have been slightly better than 1 kill per minute if i didnt go for the elites. it was about 4m-5m per hour (4m easy with no notable drops, made 5m with a vissage drop) but should be more effectivly callculated. My tecknique included using penence aura pr heal prayers, while using yak to bank bones and bars and special drops, and high alched the rune and dragon weapons/armor. Im just surprised its not on here yet.

Making urns[]

Hey guys! I think that a fairly profitable method would be making some urns and other pottery in the crafting guild. For maximum profit, one should do the entire process in the guild, not even buying clay on the grand exchange. The most expensive f2p urn is the mining urn (nr) and costs 575 gp on the grand exchange, making it an awesome source of money.

The process:

Go to crafting guild, mine some clay, make soft clay, make unfired urn, fire the urn, go to clan camp bank chest, bank the urns, repeat.

Discrepancies between the "crafting x rune through the abyss" pages[]

All the "crafting x rune through the abyss" pages besides nature runes uses 3240 pure essence/hr as the input. The nature rune page has 4440 pure essence/hr as the input since it uses abyssal titan as the standard. Should the page be edited to not include the abyssal titan boost but rather be added as an extra in the details page(like the amlodd vos boost for the steel of legends page)?

Mining coal[]

I feel like Mining Coal should absolutely be somewhere among these. Please include this method, if possible.

In response to this as of 28/12/2015 there is no reason to mine coal over iron ore, like even with coal bags etc you still make about 150k more per hour mining iron and earn better exp so I don't know why you'd want to do this method at all.

Sword selling profit[]

Take 14,400 GP, use the Al-Kharid lodestone, go to Zeke's Scimitars, buy 10 mithril scimitars and 10 steel scimitars, use varrock lodestone, go to the grand exchange, and sell 10 mithril scimitars for 2k each and the steel scimitars for  500 each. You will get 30-35k for the mithrils and 10-12k for the steels. Repeat every couple of hours on several accounts because the swords take time to respawn in store on each account.

Blackdragons are more profitable[]

Hi, im lvl 80range and use Armadyl gear and i easely kill 300dragons per hour. Without curses or potions. You do not need anti dragonfire protection besides the magic-protection prayer. I kill them with a eqiped bone-neclace from dungeneering. I also use the defense, super restore and both range prayers. I have no use of prayer potions due to the effect of the neclace. the profit rate is at about 1,6m/h with a bonebreaker. Without it the profit would be considerably higher(although you would need prayer potions to make up for the neclace). Theres also no need for gear repair. Last but not least it would be possible to kill over 350 dragons by using highlvl gear + 95 curse or super range potions. PS: I make roundabout 200k by collecting the sidedrops.

The money making guides revolving tanning hides were updated saying you should use a portable crafter instead of the tanner in al-kharid/varrock.

Mining Iron ore[]

With the rise of the price of iron ore I think it is now a viable method. You are able to mine it almost instantly and with a price of almost 500gp each and a bank deposit box in the dwarven mine (req 15 dung). Assuming 10 inventories an hour thats 280k. It may not be alot for members but as f2p that could be a significant amount. 58.111.112.6 00:55, February 20, 2016 (UTC)

I have a correction for the dragonhide tanning methods. Even when using a portable crafter to tan dragonhides, there is a 20 gp fee for tanning each hide. Therefore, the inputs for all of the dragonhide tanning methods should also include 20 gp multiplied by the number of hides to be tanned in an hour.

Need some1 to edit new money guide[]

Using portable forge now save more time and earn more and special effect of free bar

"furnace provides a 5% chance of providing an extra bar while the anvil has a 10% chance per bar of saving each of the bars in use"


By using coal bag 1 can smith 12 bar in 28sec.

Player needs 10-15sec to fill in coal bag, take out 12 rune ore and take out all coal.

Average is 45sec per 12bar being smithed.

1h about 960 rune bar and 48 free bar based on 5%

Based on 27 march 2016 profit per bar in ge price is 1522gp, and 1 rune bar price is 13,762

960*1522 + 48 *13,762 = 1,461,120 + 660576 = 2.121.967 per hour

12 portable forge = 12 * 33k = 396k

Common places like lumbrige, bank near smithing shop, will always have player putting up protable forge

1 can always help to top up the forge that add 5min and wrote about 32-34k

If someone free kindly help to update.

Importance of using Runescape Companion[]

Importance of using Runescape Companion

I would like to amend the main page with a tiny bit of very important information, which would be useful when being involved in any money making activity. If you install the Runescape Companion - RC on your smartphone/tablet, it gives you access to the Grand Exchange. So, for example, I can find a portable, buy dragonhide using Companion ( you need to be logged out of the client/browser to access GE by RC ), login to the game - tan all, close client/browser, sell all with RC, buy dragonhide, login - poof, you are at the portable with the new mats. This is just an example, I am sure it can apply to a very wide variety of activities.

Mud Runecrafting profit per hour[]

The crafting mud runes method assumes that the player can run a round trip every 42 seconds. I don't think this was timed correctly when it was tested.

My fastest run clocked in at 54 seconds:

This involved using bank presets, BoB presets, the action bar and quick left click teleporting with the ring of dueling. I even cut the mud crafting animation and the balloon mill travel animation short.

In order to more accurately represent the amount of money this method should make per hour, I think the method should be retimed.

Revenants[]

I don't know if wilderness methods are allowed, because of PvP, but revenants are even better money now that the lifespan of items has been increased to 100k charges/10 h and things like the Statius' warhammer are upwards of 135m - at least according to the post on Reddit, I haven't searched a street price - with a possibility of reaching 150m+ based on pre-buff price.

Even if not, it's still a good money maker with an average of 1/10000 or so for a specific item from a specific revenant (even better if you include bloodweed seeds and the like) and about 500 kills an hr. Say the most expensive piece is statius warhammer at a range of 100m-200m equilibrium price since it's going really wild due to the update. 500 kills of 10k is 5% chance of getting a Statius drop over that hour. On average you'll get 5m/h to 10m/h - cut in half to get a more conservative rate.

Now that alone would put it on the upper tier of money making methods. However you get maybe 1 drop per 20 h so the more likely case is that you get a corrupt or other item. Since there are 50 unique drops I think, you get at least 2/3 items per hour and at least 2/3 bloodweed seeds. According to my experience that's about how it goes, and it makes around 3-5m/h+ profit depending on how lucky you are (the hour I did yielded me roughly 7.5m, I'll be sure to make more records as I return to rev hunting). Add in the chance of rare drops and you get around a 3-5m/h short-term and around 10m/h+ long term.

It's not amazing and consistent gp by any means but it certainly sits there alongside QBD if not higher due to chance of rare drops.

Of course maybe the reason this mmg hasn't been made is because of the uncertain drop rate. So if that's the case sorry. Droomph (talk) 21:28, November 19, 2016 (UTC)

Charging Air Orbs[]

With the completion of the Hard Wilderness Tasks, a shortcut opens which allows players to run from Edgeville directly to the obelisk and climb its platform, significantly reducing travel time. This access route should be factored into obs/hour and therefore profit/hour & xp/hour.

Having read comments about earth orbs, I'd also like to point out that I'm charging orbs to make my own staves, and not selling orbs, so I cannot speak to direct profit. As some items have their bulk exchange numbers tracked, perhaps this would be useful in this regard.

Yew Short bow total cost per is around 606 gp to get logs and string them. The bow sells for 867 gp so thats over a 261gp profit per bow. I found you can do roughly 1k for these an hour so thats about 261k profit an hour on yew shortbows

Magic Short bow total cost is around 1054 gp to get the logs and string them. The bow sells for 1214 gp so thats about 160 gp profit per bow and then around 1k an hour means about 160k profit.

  • Wood Cutting

Cutting trees and getting your own logs would greatly reduce the cost but add alot more time. the Yews would go from 261 per bow to 456 per bow and that becomes 456k per 1k bows and magic short bows go from 160 gp profit per bow to 803 gp profit per bow to become 803k per 1k bows

(yew trees require 60 woodcutting and magic requires 75 wood cutting)

  • Non G.E. Method

While Slower this method would increase the total profit from (Yew) 261k-456k to 867k per 1k bows and (magic) from 160k - 803k to 1.2m profit per 1k bows

New guide: Prifddinas Gem Rocks[]

According to the Gem rocks page, you can make around 1 mil/hr (based on current prices) mining the gem rocks in Prifddinas. It's highly volatile, since it depends greatly on the chance of mining onyxes, which only happens about every four hours, but it's still about 400k/hr without any onyxes.

According to that page, one can expect to mine about 336 gems per hour.

chance ge price (as of writing this) profit per hour
onyx 0.0008 1882371 505981.3248
diamond 0.0379 4340 55267.296

Killing Corpse Spiders F2P[]

http://runescape.wikia.com/wiki/Corpse_Spider

combat any(recommended 20+) crafting recommended 26

required items: none, thread highly recommended

Corpse spiders always drop spider silk http://runescape.wikia.com/wiki/Spider_silk which can bepicked up en masse with the loot window

Each is worth almost a thousand gold(938) so a full inventory is worth about 27K and takes a very short time to make, each spider gives 34 combat exp

Using the lumbridge training bank to store items and hometeleport to lumbridge you can make 20+ inventories in an hour netting around 540K gp

with crafting you can craft various items from the silk which reduce the number of times you bank during the hour and increase the gold per hour

Currently spider wand http://runescape.wikia.com/wiki/Spider_wand is the most valuable at 1883 for 2 silks which is more than the double price. this will also yield 25 crafting experience. Aragonitite (talk) 18:50, February 6, 2017 (UTC)

Suggestion: Enchanting Dragonstone Bracelets[]

Dragonstone bracelets cost about 9700 coins, and then sell consistently for 11000. Using a mud staff and one cosmic rune, it's a profit of at least 900 coins, and the cast can be made 50+ times a minute, leaving profits at about 50,000 a minute or 3,000,000 per hour. The price will remain stable due to the demand to purchase combat bracelets for high alching, and it's good magic experience. (45.22.124.153 01:00, March 3, 2017 (UTC))

Nice idea, I'll wait and see if anyone else agrees or strongly disagrees, then see if I can't put it in :)

They do have a buy limit of 100/4houres if i'm not mistaken? @50 casts / minute you would need 120 houres to buy 1 houre for this method. 141.134.10.73 16:15, March 24, 2017 (UTC)

Suggestion: superheating adamantite[]

If you assume that you can superheat 2500 adamantite bars every hour, then this should yield about 500k per hour at current prices (+200 gp per bar). Also then gives 37.5*2500 = 93750 smithing xp and 53*2500 = 132500 magic xp, for a total of 226k xp per hour. Preset is coal bag, 15 nature runes, 15 adamantite ore and 9 additional coal. Requirements are lvl 70 smithing, lvl 43 magic, lvl 35 mining and lvl 35 dungeoneering.

done. Changed rates though. Law rune Samberen Nature rune 23:45, March 11, 2017 (UTC)

Suggestion: Spider Silk from Corpse Spiders[]

Spider Silk is a guaranteed drop from corpse spiders, and it goes for ~1k each on the GE. They also drop fire runes which are worth ~100g each and are stackable. While training early levels, you are able to make over 100k/hr killing corpse spiders without the need for food due to their low attack.  —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 137.111.13.126 (talk) on 16:15, 12 March, 2017.

If you can get more accurate data like drop rates and kills per hour, I'll gladly add this for you. 100k/hr is rather low compared to most things in this guide though and I usually try not to add something unless it's 250k or more. Law rune Samberen Nature rune 00:49, March 13, 2017 (UTC)
I have done two hours of this method recently(1.11.2017) using different setups [[2]] and I would say that it's much more profitable than 100k, even when I first proposed it(about 3 methods higher) I used 540K as the number, now it's closer to 800K for F2P and 1.4M if using signs of the porter, also I believe the method has quite a bit of sticking power as the equipment made from spider silk gives powerful components which means that the price of many of these items is dictated by the price of battlestaves.

Pro Frost Guide update.[]

Update to frost guide (pro addition).

I will like to add a pro guide to the frosts. The things what are a must is legendary pet, bonepicker, Magic notepaper & Dragonbane bolts. Along side this, I'm using basic void gear (5%), Arma boots, Farsightsniper necklace, archers ring (I), Arguemented chaotic bows with perks of dragon slayer and biting 2, Ava's alerter & God book (basic).

I have 99 ranger and using soulspilt with a ability bar of slots: 1* : Needle strike 2* : binding shot 3* : piercing shot 4* : sacrifice

  • These are set to auto

7 (1): Snap shot 8 (2): Rapid fire 9 (3): tight bindings 10(4): bombardment (1,2,3,4) are hot keys

You can even add in guthix healing, and fragmented shot. But the ones above are the main abilities. Guthix healing will reduce the speed of the kills per hour (Apx 2 kills per hour per use)

Inventory: 1 Extreme range/defense flask, 4 Super Antifire, 2 Super prayer, 99 dungeoning (fast travel, Optional) & 380 magic not paper.

This set up is giving a MINIMUM of 360 frost bones per hour, cost of 1 magic note paper per bone. With assortment of runes, herbs, water tallies, rune items (body/swords) and misc items like limproot. The Assortments of items normally come out at around 400-600k per hour.

If we account for a divine charge for the equipment, and the magic note paper whats roughly 720k (expensive 2k per note) and 100k per charge (expensive again). Its 820k costs. But 360 bones currently is 4,400,000 coins plus the minimum of 400k assortment of items equals:

Grant total of : 4,000,000 per hour of profit.

1,000,000 coins extra than your current guide is showing. How ever, I believe upgrading the void to 7% and Ascension crossbows with the same perks could further increase the kills per hour to a unbelievable 400 a hour. With the roughly same current costs.

This is an extra minimum 400k bringing the frost drops to an even bigger 4.5M APX per hour (untested)

Regards, John Falls,

Inaccurate QBD Data[]

Player with 1555 KC here. I manage 32-34 kills/hour, I've never had a trip below 5.5M gp. I use a Royal cbow (unaugmented), Dbane, Anima core (unaugmented) vamp, holy ovl and adren. My gear costs nothing to use and I manage 1:20-1:30 kills. There's no reason to recommend high level, degrading armor at qbd, because it's completely pointless against such an easy boss.

Superheat Mithral Bar Chart

This chart shows the amount of experience gained per hour starting from level 43 magic and level 50 smithing. It assumes you are using smelting urns while you superheat the items.

The Money-Making Guide is as inaccurate as it admits to being several times. The page is useless and needs to be made accurate.[]

The Money-making guide page has frequent notes to the affect that most methods actually don't make as much as they're listed as making. I just attempted tanning blue dragon hides for instance, and it only makes 120k an hour, while being listed as one of the most profitable methods in the game that supposedly makes millions an hour. This is after attempting to summon spirit spiders for red spiders eggs, which only made about 80k an hour. My suggestion is to log what each money making method actually makes, when run by a human being with an average internet speed, so that the page can be trusted for its intended purpose. As it is, I'm having to go find my own methods because they are so much more reliable than this wiki page. 108.246.35.50 15:34, April 23, 2017 (UTC)

Appreciate the feedback. As this is a wiki, we encourage you to update the article with your methods if they make more than what we currently have in our guide. Share the knowledge. Christine 16:02, April 23, 2017 (UTC)

Suggestion for new nonmember method: Fire Runes[]

Here's a method I tried out and has a decent profit if you also want to level runecrafting as a nonmember with a fire tiara: Making fire runes.

I'm level 60 runecrafting, so haven't attained the 3 fire runes/essence of level 70 yet. I did the following:

Ran back and forth from the Fire Altar to the bank chest in the fighting arena until all my energy was used up, then walked back and forth till it was charged back to 100%. I managed 6 back-and-forths in just under 6 minutes.

During this time I crafted 350 fire runes from 168 essence, meaning the amount of fire runes/hour would equal 3500. The price of these on the GE currently would be 350700. The investment (28*60 essence) is equal to 53760 at the moment.

Profit:

350700 - 53760 = 296940, so roughly 300k per hour. With level 70+ runecrafting it'll be higher.

Zamorak Wine Grab: Bots on bots[]

At the moment the Zamorak Wine collection method is still a valid money making one but it tends to be exploited by bot software that involves using characters of modest (2-3k max hp) constitution to use Telekinetic Grab, flee (and heal with food as needed) past the Zamorak monk aggro range, return, and repeat.

The bot issue has been noted since past a year ago but Jagex hasn't really done much if anything to try to resolve it...rather whatever changes noted through the months have probably resulted in minor edits to the bot script to work around it.

In any case, if attempting to use this method to make some gold, beware of moderate risk of competition from bots (that frequently hop worlds) and note that during those moments, killing any of the monks worsens the competition by not requiring the bot to heal while fleeing.

Suggestion: Soph Slayer Dungeon[]

Suggestion/Request: MMG for each monster in the SSD. Because even without rare drops, keys, gem, and weapon drops, most monsters are profitable. even with the need for feathers, food, and supplies. The Minimum gear needed to make a profit is T70 weapons and armour which gives half the profit of using T90 gear. The recommended gear is T85-90 weapons and armour for full profit. Just search on youtube for gp rates, maikeru and fatnooblet suggested. (on task obviously gives better profit) The prices for everything is settling down and can also be used for invention materials. Even with no luck in drops, the profit is still decent. --Aavara the Totally Quackers 21:02, June 26, 2017 (UTC)

Superheating Ores[]

50.83.210.119 12:12, July 1, 2017 (UTC) Why is it showing 35 Dungeoneering and Mining as requirements for superheating adamantite and runite ore? These aren't required, nor are they even suggested in the actual guides. I understand that they can be used to mine additional ores and coal to lower the cost of supplies, but wouldn't that slow down the overall process? If either of those skills were beneficial to superheating then I feel they would have been mentioned in the respective guides.

This is because you need 35 mining and dungeoneering for the coal bag which is highly reccomended when superheating runite and adamantite ore. InventionCephHunter talkSlayer 12:55, July 1, 2017 (UTC)

Mammoth Tusk/Pack Mammoth[]

Suggestion to be added to the money making guide, killing Acheron mammoths, their drop is now 100% and the mammoth pouch/scroll has been changed so I think the price will hold decent over a while. Right now they are over 8/9m an hour with my test(that's killing them for tusk maybe 60/70 an hour and regular loot) and making the tusk into pouches and selling them for 105/110k each(g.e. has them at like 145k but actual price is around 105/110 for an insta sell) but if you kill them for just the tusk you're still looking at 6m+ an hour and that's being very conservative. because they insta sell at over 70k each.

Thanks,

Another recurring method[]

I created a page for a recurring money making method that's pretty decent for F2P. I can't figure out how to link it to the table on this page so I'd appreciate if someone else did it. Veikk0 (talk) 12:41, July 10, 2017 (UTC)

The table is automatically generated, the page just needs to be purged by either adding ?action=purge at the end of the URL, or by opening the edit screen and saving without doing anything (so called null-edit).

Guides for things that are profitable despite G.E. price saying otherwise?[]

Is there a sane way to create money making guides for things that aren't profitable according to the base G.E. prices but in practice sell for more than the base price? Cooking urn (nr) is one example, an item that makes F2P cooking training faster and cheaper. There currently seems to be very little supply, not enough trade volume for the G.E. price to update, and despite the G.E. price showing up as 875 gp (less than the material cost needed to craft them, which is 2 x 565 for the soft clay) the urns are actually selling for 1500 gp. Creating a guide by using the base G.E. price would make it seem like the method isn't profitable, but using the current 1500 gp price wouldn't be great either since that number could become obsolete quickly. Veikk0 (talk) 23:49, July 15, 2017 (UTC)

Dark Beasts[]

Suggestion: Killing Dark Beasts Type: Combat/Mid Average profit: no luck 3m gp Average profit: good luck 4m gp Average profit: lots of rare drop table/lotd 5-6m gp Suggested gear: mage - best magic staff, subjugation gear, bonecrusher, Demonhorn necklace Suggested gear: range - best bow/crossbow, armadyl gear, bonecrusher, Demonhorn necklace Suggested inventory: mage - large rune pouch (can be put in ammo slot), High alch runes, Overloads, 2 pieces of food (for emergencies at start), spring cleaner (if available), oneclick emergency teleport. Suggested inventory: range - ammo (unless using bows that provide arrows), High alch runes, Overloads, 2 pieces of food (for emergencies at start), spring cleaner (if available), oneclick emergency teleport. Other Suggestions: access to curses (deflect mage or soulsplit), mask for gloom for increased drops for 1k kills, pack yak or legendary pet with BoB capabilities (to hold items if not using notepaper, legendary pet can pick up items), notepaper, seedicide (for useless/unwanted seeds).

Reasons to make this a mmg: 1. the profit is pretty stable 2. high rate of rare drop table 3. can be done with little attention 4. can be done for many hours without much issue 5. no need for prayer potions/renewals as demonhorn necklace and bonecrusher can provide all the prayer points needed 6. as Dark Beasts drop lots of coins and high alchables, even with more people killing them, the profits will stay stable 7. great source of herbs, seeds, and runite ore (with spring cleaner)

Average kills per hour afk: 150 Average kills non-afk: 250 Tryhard kills can average: 400 kills with claims of up to 1k kills

profits were calculated based on coin drops, herbs, and high alchables Average number of sirenic scales per 1hr 1 scales Average number of rare drop rolls per hour 30-45 Average number of dark bows per hour 2-3 (these tend to instasell for 70k gp) Average assorted herbs per hour: 400-500 Average number of rune alchables per hour 20 Average coins dropped per hour 2m

This information comes from 11k personal kills on current account, 50k kills on old account, reading guides, talking to 50+ different players with kill counts ranging from 10k kills to 3-5 prestige, reading the dark beast drop table, and watching/comparing different youtube videos from high end players.

If someone can provide a template to use to make a mmg or the go-ahead, I can make this mmg.

AFK[]

I would like to propose an AFK-meter on the money makig guides. People have moved from active money making to a explicit choice between active and AFK money making. The Wiki should update the page accordingly with the RuneScape community's needs. Here is a list of all the money making guides (not currently including recurring methods). I wanted to ask in here for a green light before I started editing an article as popular as this one.--Galian prist (talk) 19:43, October 13, 2017 (UTC)

"AFK" is rather subjective, who would determine how much time between activies is deemed "AFK"? Nericat (talk) 19:56, October 13, 2017 (UTC)
I imagine it working simular to the current way rarities are added. No set rules, but some guideline rates that are open to interpretation. I ordered my list (roughly) by 0-15 seconds (not afk) 15-30 seconds (slightly afk) 30+ seconds (very afk)afk)--Galian prist (talk) 19:58, October 13, 2017 (UTC)
I personally would consider something like firemaking (~ a minute per inventory) to be "slightly afk", as I can't really get up and do something without my skilling actions ending. But I suppose there aren't many "super afk (as in you'll only stop skilling due to lobbying)" methods for money making, aside from maybe a few high-level combat ones. I think it's a fine idea to have a column for around how intense an activity is, maybe in terms of seconds between actions instead? Nericat (talk) 20:05, October 13, 2017 (UTC)
I guess that would work too, but for things like harvesting energy there is no set number of seconds. It's all random. That's why I think it would be better to have generalized options. --Galian prist (talk) 20:11, October 13, 2017 (UTC)
Could have averages for that, maybe? Having generalized options would only work if there was a paragraph saying how low-effort "somewhat afk" is, for instance, as some people would take that to mean different things. Nericat (talk) 20:15, October 13, 2017 (UTC)
You could make the same argument for the current rarities. Which are working pretty well. I realise that the meaning of "very afk" is more differently interpreted than "rare" but I think the current rough distribution is best for the amount of money making methods in each category. Although the current separation would still work if you made it 1-15 not afk, 15-45 slightly afk and 45+ very afk. This would make it follow a pattern more obviously "have to focus for this", "can watch a series or something while doing this" and "can focus on something else like work while doing this". --Galian prist (talk) 20:28, October 13, 2017 (UTC)
I suggest using a percentage as a standard. Assuming server timeout is 5 minutes, the bare minimum is 1 action every 299 seconds (1/299=0.003344 or 0.3% activity)

Including an "Investment" column[]

Including an "investment" column into the table may help those not willing or unable to put in a lot of money. This will also help in determining if certain methods are not viable or impossible due to a player's skill or capital. For example, donning certain equipment would boost the income for certain methods however, not having the equipment described may reduce the profit below what another method can provide. Dividing cells appropriately to show these differences will certainly make research easier.

Potion making MMG overhaul[]

I edited the Making toadflax potions with scroll of cleansing to also take portable wells into account. I'll get around to it eventually but have limited time, so if anyone else wants to port these changes to the other similar money making guides, you're welcome:

I got the numbers in the updated guide by making potions in-game for 15 minutes and extrapolating from there. Amount of items gained and used, XP, everything. So if have doubts, do your own measurements. I was in world 84 and had a noticable amount of latency, so the numbers may actually be smaller than the theoretical maximum. But they're based on real-world measurements nonetheless.

I also think it'd be a good idea to rename/move the pages to just "Making X potions" since it's not just the scroll of cleansing providing a benefit anymore and adding the portable well into the name would make it a bit of a mouthful. --Veikk0 16:16, November 7, 2017 (UTC)

Support combining[]

Many of them are just duplicates with a different item, such as tanning leather, cleaning herbs, or killing a specific monster. I think a single page with a GEMW table at the bottom would be more beneficial than an individual page for each item. User:Manhattan2/signature 16:19, November 7, 2017 (UTC)

I agree with this. The ones in particular I were looking at were the crafting combinations runes. While they all are the same process, only mud runes are viable and sell well (due to ground mud runes being a herblore component. Dragonbornlol99 (talk) 06:09, January 12, 2018 (UTC)

Updated with new information[]

I've been messing around with casting/making spiders' egg scrolls. Although its super boring, casting egg spawn does make good money, and the eggs get bought up pretty quick. However, I can't get my egg spawn scrolls to sell. Lowered the price to try to sell them and no dice.

I've also been trying looting ogre coffins. No one is selling ogre keys. No one. So maybe someone can check that out as a money making method? Also, the guide talks about the Raurg bones being important. Yeah they're worth a lot on the GE, but I've had no luck selling them. Lastly, it should be mentioned that the coffin can be lockpicked
