Welcome to Old School RuneScape (OSRS) money-making guide! Whether you’re a maxed main, a mid-game iron, or a fresh account saving up for your first Bond, this guide will walk you through 10 methods that range from ultra-AFK to high-intensity, big-profit grinds. And while many players choose to grind GP the old-fashioned way, others may opt to buy OSRS gold to save time-whichever path you choose, it’s all about reaching your goals efficiently.

1. AFK Infected Roots - Post-Alamour Woodcutting

After completing the Final Dawn quest, head to the Doom of Mokotono temple and start chopping infected roots. Requires 80 Woodcutting and 75 Agility (or a work-around route). Use the Runelite logout timer plugin to AFK for up to 25 minutes. Expect low XP (~10k/hr) and modest profit (~40k/hr), but it’s one of the most AFKable activities in the game.

2. Pickpocketing Wealthy Citizens - Chill Thieving Money

With Rogues’ Outfit and a thieving level of 70+, head to wealthy citizens. One-click every minute and earn 100-120k GP/hr. Add in the furniture loot from house keys for nearly double the XP and the same GP. Great while multitasking or working on other projects.

3. Planting Saplings for Passive Profit

Turn tree and fruit tree seeds into saplings using plant pots and the Humidify spell. With minimal interaction, you can make around 400k in 13 minutes depending on the GE margins. Stick to middle-tier seeds like maple or willow for best ROI, and always check the buy limits.

4. Moonlight Moth Jars - Hunter Meets Herblore

Catch Moonlight Moths (75 Hunter) in the Hunter Guild basement using butterfly jars, then combine them with raw Graahk or Kyatt meat. Each jar becomes a prayer-restoring item that sells for up to 2.6k each, netting 900k GP/hr through catching and processing. A clever method that blends skilling and item transformation.

5. Royal Titans Bossing - Low Risk, Decent Reward

Not quite end-game, but an excellent bossing option. You’ll kill fire and ice-themed Titans, watch for mechanics like slams, and loot either Mystic Vigor or Deadeye prayer scrolls, and crown pieces worth millions. With efficient kills, earn 300-800k/hr, and lucky drops can push profits even higher.

6. Custodia Slayer Dungeon - Combat and Coin

Unlocked via the Shadows of Custodia quest, head to the dungeon to kill Elder Custodia Stalkers (high Slayer recommended). Without a task, expect 500-800k/hr, and even more with Slayer bonuses. Watch out for the bleed mechanic near death. Drops include sharks, alchables, and the 3M+ Antler Guard offhand.

7. New Sawmill in Auburnale - Efficient Plank Making

Finally, a sawmill near a bank! Bring logs and cash, and convert them into planks quickly at the Auburnale sawmill (requires Children of the Sun quest). No magic required, and with teak logs, you can make 1-1.2M GP/hr with almost no requirements and minimal effort.

8. Veil Totems Fletching - XP + GP

If you have high Fletching, try making Redwood Totems in Auburnale. You’ll earn offerings that can be exchanged for valuable loot: seeds, bird nests, arrowtips, and more. I made 1.2M GP in an hour alongside great XP. Avoid Magic logs due to high cost and lower return.

9. Impling Hunting in Puro-Puro - Clue Scroll & Profit

With 50+ Hunter, head to the Puro-Puro impling field in Zanaris and target eclectic implings (for medium clues) and anything higher. Use Runelite’s impling plugin to track them down and bring binding spells for easier catching. Expect 1.2-1.5M GP/hr with a bit of RNG luck and patience.

10. Vorkath - The Classic Money Dragon

No list is complete without Vorkath. Whether you’re using max melee, blowpipe, or budget gear, this boss offers 3-5M GP/hr thanks to its generous drop table, including superior dragon bones, dragon items, and noted resources. Bot bans have spiked bone prices, making now a great time to slay the beast.

Final Thoughts

No matter your level, attention span, or goals, there’s a money-making method on this list for you. Whether you’re chopping roots while working, catching implings for clues, or diving into mid-tier bossing, the key is consistency. Pick one, stick with it, and stack up that GP for your next upgrade or Bond. And if grinding isn't your style, you’ll always find OSRS gold for sale through various player marketplaces-just be sure to stay safe and follow the rules. Good luck, and happy scaping!
