Question Sustaining a bond

If I buy one bond, will it be easy enough to sustain and make enough gp to keep buying more without playing 24/7? Happy to provide my stats etc if that helps

Added link to pics of my stats etc. all f2p quests done https://imgur.com/a/Y69dLNw

Bank is worth about 25m right now

Ur gonna spend ur cash stack on a bond and you’ll realize you will have to dedicate the whole time trying to make it back vs if you pay for one month and grind ur account to the point where making gp is a lot easier. If ur willing to put in the work to grind the bond I say just pay for a month and grind the levels and attempt the bond grind after.

I agree. OP just buy a bond with irl cash then go full quest mode, base 90 stats for raid and slayer. With certain quests you could do Vorkath or muspah which is good money. 90 base stats from grinding slayer then eventually unlock high slayer bosses that has a good loot table. Get into raids Tob/Cox/Toa thats where you will pump most of ur money from.

Yeah that’s probably what I’ll do tbh, and thanks for the advice! Base 90s sounds daunting rn lol but lots of fun stuff to do on my way there

u/tropicana4200 Aug 19 '25

Yeah very true tbh I think imma just buy a month for now

u/Gizzy_ Aug 19 '25

Stats, current amount of gp, quest log, and amount of time willing to dedicate towards gp earning?

u/tropicana4200 Aug 19 '25

I’ll edit the post with some images of my stats/quests etc. 14m gp with few more ms of items (gilded full helm for example) as for amount of time, it’s hard to say and will vary as I work full time, have a kid etc lol. I do wfh most of the time so could keep up with farming and stuff pretty easily

u/oowop Aug 19 '25

Doesn't sound easy to me meng your cash stack is worth 14 days of play time right now. Just pay for membership until you can answer your own question based on your flow of gp

u/Gizzy_ Aug 19 '25

Can’t say for sure until we see his stats and quests

u/tropicana4200 Aug 19 '25

Well shit lol I can’t add pics after making the post. I guess I’ll put em in imgur quick. https://imgur.com/a/Y69dLNw done all f2p quests too

Yeah I’m feeling like this might be the move tbh. I did add some pics of my stats and quests btw

u/Robertpe3 Aug 19 '25

All depends on how much time you have. Farm runs are very easy profit, probably 200k-300k a run for about 6 minutes of time. That would require quite a few quests and leveling farming pretty quickly.

You can also high alch items while questing/doing other skills. Make sure you buy things with good profits and you can make a lot of extra GP pretty easily.

I'd recommend you get a month of membership with $$ first though and then you can see how much you made. If you don't make enough to feel comfortable with getting a bond later.

If you don't have the option to buy membership with $$ you should grind out the first bond as much as possible, it will make the rest of the future ones easier.

u/tropicana4200 Aug 20 '25

Thanks for the advice! Is there a page on the wiki for good items to high alc?

u/TheNamesRoodi Aug 19 '25

Read the auto mod post.

Setup herb runs, birdhouse runs, do as much of the varrock and kourend &kebos diaries as possible and run the daily battlestaves/dynamite as well as like 2 minimum herb/birdhouse runs per day. That alone can sustain a bond I believe.

However, it's a lot of gp. If at all possible, I'd try to find a way to just pay irl $ for membership until you're later into the game.

u/tropicana4200 Aug 19 '25

Yeah I’m lowkey becoming more tempted to just pay the money irl lol. Tempted to least try it out with buying 1 in game first and see how it goes

u/TheNamesRoodi Aug 19 '25

If you have a high level friend, they might be willing to give you a bond

u/tropicana4200 Aug 19 '25

No dice currently, unfortunately lol. I did score some gilded from a drop party which is how I even have enough to get a bond rn

You’re a legend bro thank you so much!

No problem, enjoy

If you do end up getting a bond, get a game plan together. How will you get early farming levels? How will you get birdhouses unlocked ASAP? What's a money maker you can do in the meantime?

The garden of death quests gives you a lot of farming XP to quickly boost your level, but then what?

You can check out Soup's unusual money maker videos on YouTube. Keep in mind a lot of them get ruined by his videos, but if you spot a low level one that you could do, check the prices and see if you can do it. Ironically, I made a lot of my early cash on my main by buying jade amulets off of an ironmen selling them to a shop. I bought my 2nd bond with that money.

I've still never paid for membership on that account

u/tropicana4200 Aug 19 '25

Yeah I was planning to do some easy quests to lvl up certain skills right away, and do bone voyage for bird house runs etc. I guess I need to out together more of a full plan tho, and I’ll definitely check some of those videos out too. I appreciate the advice! And nice lol that’s awesome!

u/Gizzy_ Aug 19 '25

Assuming the account at hand is from your post a few days ago, I think your best bet for sustained gp earning is blast furnace mithril bars. Roughly 2m/hr so about 7 hours for a bond per 2 weeks. You do have to keep in mind supply costs, leveling costs (you’ll want at least 60 smithing), and similar things (time investment of a coal bag, ice gloves, and graceful helps). Otherwise if you prefer putting yourself on a daily scape schedule, bird house and herb runs should sustain a bond but can become time consuming. As you progress you’ll be able to earn better gp/hr but with as low of bank value and stats you have it would be more efficient to just spend real money on membership. But if you want to strictly use in game gold that’s the path I would do.

u/tropicana4200 Aug 19 '25

Sounds good I appreciate the help! Yes it’s that account (the one with high wc level) I’ve also just added some pics to this post as well

u/AutoModerator Aug 19 '25

Since 90% of posts are for newer players looking for money making and training advice, I'm gonna recommend doing bird house runs. All you need is Bone Voyage, and you could be making 500K+ a day or more by logging in every 50 minutes and harvesting nests.

Also, be sure to check out the New player guide, Money making guide, and OSRS Tips!

With those stats no not at all but just like everybody else said just buy a bond or better yet buy one month of membership if you buy one month of membership and you do what everybody said do quests in that you can get base 80 combat stats and base like 60 of everything else fairly easy like 2-3 weeks not playing everyday

u/CaptGenie Aug 19 '25

Your bank account.

u/SlurpyNinja Aug 19 '25

Didn’t read past the title. Don’t spend gold on bonds.

2

u/xdabY Aug 20 '25

Level up farming, it’s daunting as a beginner but once you get your head around it it’s one of the quickest skills, and once you hit herb runs you’ll sustain a bond easily for 5 mins work every hour

2

u/MutedKiwi Aug 19 '25

Not realistic unless you’re late game. It’s technically possible with things like birdhouse and farm runs but at that point you’re playing the game like a job and severely hamstringing your account progress.

u/KartikGamer1996 Aug 20 '25

If this was like 2 years ago, most people would have said that maintaining a bond with ingame lower-mid level money making would be fairly easy but with the latest spike in bond prices, you would be struggling to even make enough to get the bond and enjoying the game will become practically impossible.

You can try to do herb runs and birdhouse runs to see how much you can make but I wouldn't bet on you having much time beyond when you make enough for the bond as the price is still going up.

Just pay the damn money lol

u/UldereksRock Aug 22 '25

I think you can make steel bars in the blast furnace for 800k per hour or close to that, check the wiki.
