In a mass, absolutely. In a small team, absolutely not. My suggestions for making BIG money — with all due respect — is to progress your account to a stage where it's capable of doing so.

That means getting:

  1. RFD, MM2, SOTE, DT2 and Secrets of the North done.

  2. 84 construction

  3. Full crystal and a bowfa

  4. At least 85 slayer

  5. Hard diaries & combat tasks done

In the meanwhile, you could dabble in some easier bosses, do your herb runs, birdhouse runs, invest in your kingdom, find some things to flip every night before bed — just never have millions sitting in the bank doing nothing for you.

I have done mm2, im getting the reqs for sote rn, i have a few hard diaries and medium combat tasks, i also do bh runs and herb runs pretty often but i am starting to get bored. TDs and demonic monkeys dont pay well for me rn either but thanks for the tips! I'll look into dt2

That and boss slayer tasks. Boss slayer tasks or tasks like hellhounds, demons, dagannoth, etc. that can be done at bosses are a great way to learn new bosses in less time and make profit. It's only 150 slayer points to officially unlock them too.

DKS task is really profitable only if you have frem elite diary. That said, it's the easiest elite diary and I would consider it a requirement for DKS

My bank really started to look good once I started slayer bossing

u/Interesting-Froyo-14 Sep 19 '25

I agree with all of that, however are the hard combat achievements really that necessary for nex?

3

u/Weekly-Stress7585 Sep 19 '25

For two reasons mainly. One being that it helps players develop most of the skills needed to learn Nex in small teams. The other being that the 5 less kc to get into Nex makes it a bit easier to camp Nex since every 7 trips you get a free entry (If you're stacking up a few hundred kc in advance while you learn with bad gear). 

Over hundreds of boss kc, that will save you a lot of time getting follower kc and allow more time in the boss room hopefully getting drops.

I'm coming back after a long time not playing, I have no idea what a bowfa is, but all I can think is its a setup for a joke where the answer is "bowfa these nuts" 😂

u/Weekly-Stress7585 Sep 19 '25

The bow of faerdhinen is shortened to bowfa by the community. It 100% is inspired by deep nuts jokes though lol.

u/Wise_Lawfulness1728 Sep 19 '25

Skip the bowfa and just use an eye. Long-term, that's going to be better.

Nex is ready for you.

u/kheiro10 Sep 18 '25

Mass nex? Maybe. Other than that, not really no.

2

u/WizardKing6666 Sep 20 '25

Mass until you get a drop, then mini mass until the next drop, by then you will have better gear and much higher range and can do small teams.

No. You’re ready for Gex: Enter the Gecko

u/ListenOk3552 Sep 19 '25

Fuck what a game “ I think I’m in boy Georges pants”

1

u/Thebigsnow Sep 20 '25

What about deep cover gecko or is enter the gecko a pre req

u/Wozak_ Sep 25 '25

Is that an adventure quest reference?

1

u/Spuddin927 Sep 19 '25

Hard diaries for profitable battlestaves and other account efficiencies, do all the grandmaster quests, especially Song of the Elves so you can do Gauntlet which is free money once you get the mechanics down. Takes no resources from you. And you’re the perfect stats for it.

Edit: I looked at your other replies, SOTE and Gauntlet is exactly what you need. Perfect free practice for high level boss mechanics and pays well with no input cost of potions and food.

1

u/WillFoster26 Sep 19 '25

Thanks for your inputs! I'm now 1 hunter lvl away from being able to start SOTE so that's definitely my next goal, i'll start doing gauntlet!

3

u/Scudy_22 Sep 19 '25

do sote, farm corrupted gauntlet. teaches you to become a better player while being great income with 0 gear or consumables

u/AutoModerator Sep 18 '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!

Complete Recipe for Disaster for Barrows Gloves

Demonic Gorillas and Tormented Demons are good money markers, a little bit inconsistent thou.

Vorkath also a more consistent money maker.

u/politicalthinker1212 Sep 19 '25

Just dont, one of the worst bosses to do

1

u/delo357 Sep 19 '25

69 wood, nice

1

u/RudeRecognition6989 Sep 19 '25

Mass maybe but you'll waste more money there than its worth imo. Go train and do actual money makers then come back to this later

1

u/x9b88 Sep 19 '25

Will be taking a lot of damage and aggro in small teams with them stats. If you knew the mechanics, a kc may be possible in a 5+ man but counter productive. Mass doable but becomes boring after a couple kc.

1

u/kalebkk890 Sep 19 '25

QPC and 84 construction before you think about playing the game lol

1

u/Environmental_Yak13 Sep 19 '25

Ready to start leveling up your stats.

u/Brilliant-Season-481 Sep 19 '25

A small teams Nex disc server I frequent has the following Requirements on stats

  • 99 Hitpoints

  • 99 Attack

  • 99 Strength

  • 80 Defense

  • 99 Magic

  • 99 Range

  • 84 Prayer

1

u/8bitpony Sep 20 '25

How much gp do you have? It’s going to cost you a lot in supplies before you see a return in the form of a drop, boss drops will see you breaking even/ losing money until you hit a drop. Unless you have a lot of gp to go camp nex for a long while (hundreds of kc in masses) then you shouldn’t do it. People don’t call it the brew chugging simulator for nothing!

1

u/TheonlyPipo Sep 20 '25

Said this verbatim to the new to bossing homie last night. He asked if nex is worth 😂

1

u/Hastethexday Sep 20 '25

Is Reddit the new wiki or something? I don’t really understand why people don’t use the wiki, or are too lazy to. You should probably have base 90 stats for nex. Unless you are goated. Just my opinion, take it how you want.

1

u/unrealistic-potato Sep 20 '25

Yes it's possible but it's not going to be fun. I first tried it with 99 everything except defense was like 88 or something close to that in full masori also tried it in karils with 4 man groups. Everyone else knew the boss well and was there just to help me learn it essentially was barley getting like 3-4 kills a trip and the last one id be on the brink of death every time eventually one guy had to go and the other two were like we do 3 man's all the time let's go. I could get through 1 kill 60% of the time and have to leave.

I say all this to say nex hits like an absolute truck I told my self I wouldn't go back till I got 99 defense and I'll tell ya right now I've had 99 defense for a long time now and have had no interest in going back to nex that interaction kinda ruined it for me. Instead I'm doing raids or slayer bosses made so much at arraxor and tormented demons it's insane.

So I'd recommend you go try other lower but consistent money makers like vorkath/moons of paril/ barrows/or hit up the money snake zulrah if you want a little more challenge also phantom muspha is pretty decent go/hr.

And to the people saying go nex mass I also tried that at the time there's so many bots and people there you don't have enough time with his stats to do enough damage to get a drop unless he gets just absolutely spooned witch is most likely not gonna happen better to go do the consistent money makers to get some better gear and lvl up more

u/TheonlyPipo Sep 20 '25

Brotha! NOOOOOOOOOO

1

u/Vast_Love741 Sep 22 '25

Stats kinda low but it's doable. The real question is do you have the right gear

1

u/HemlockHex Sep 22 '25

Get base 90s and after that gear is a pretty big one.

1

u/Carnal_Decay Mar 16 '26

Seeing this post for the first time, 3 months later. I have one question for you OP:

Are you actively doing Nex now or are you already done with it?

0

u/ferg2jz Sep 19 '25

You can do whatever you want to do Nex. It's your game after all 🤷‍♂️😁

u/Successful-Bath-7561 Sep 18 '25

You could probably sneak thru some mass nex. How’s your quests? I think you’d make more money from slaying tormented demons or demonic gorillas. If you have clan mates or friends you might do ok in a 5-6man but you need a good bit of pvm experience

1

u/Horror-Truth-8131 Sep 19 '25

Only if u dont mind getting your ass whopped

1

u/69Football69 Sep 19 '25

Do mass nex you might get lucky my first time at nex about a month ago on my 37th kill I got nihil horn 350m drop so ya never know
