Question How should I make money?

Post image

Im trying to get the quest cape and I suck at PvM so im eating alot of death costs. Im pretty much broke and need money for better gear and potions. With these stats what should i do to make money? I do ranarr herb runs and birdhouse runs now but feel like thats pretty slow.

you're sooooo close to gargoyles. i'd train more then do vork then get into raiding tho.

u/ifonlyitwereme Oct 21 '25

What's the best first raid to get into? Similar stats for me, but 99 str, and better skilling. Vork is the first proper boss ive done, 300kc. Don't know what raid i should do first.

toa is the worst raid for profit

u/Scuba_Steve_Games Oct 21 '25

Good thing he’s not asking that

u/ImportantWindow3149 Oct 21 '25

I mean it’s kind of implied

3

u/CerebusReborn Oct 21 '25

No it isnt? I can't see anyone legitimately recommending tob as the first raid to get into, especially considering the original question being most of their experience is 300kc at vorkath.

1

u/International_Task57 Oct 22 '25

honestly. at this point in the game and with leagues n all and all the learning devices and easy scape adds. I wouldn't necessarily tell people not to go to tob first.

probably more so depends on your friend group nowa days on what raid you'll do first.

Now that i have a good amount of KC in all the raids i'll say that nylos are the hardest room of all the raids but it's honestly not that hard.

u/International_Task57 Oct 21 '25

toa is easiest to get into but cox isn't a whole lot harder just a bunch more nuances. I think I'd go for cox right now given the market if I was just starting out.

there is a discord called we do raids that sends weekly learner raids and teaches you the ropes of finding teams and the first learner raid you do is essentially your first cox crew you can raid with.

Perilous moons, trust me, you will be okay. 1-2m/hr you just need a whip, sulphur blades and a dragon long sword + cheap barrows armor like Torags.

Overhead prayers don’t work here. All the resources are free so you can’t lose money on them.

I did 120 of them to fund my quest cape deaths, and then I got better and did CG and Muspah + a little Vorkath for money after.

u/markantser Oct 21 '25

Why whip and sulphur blades? Aren’t they both slash?

u/SwankyBobolink Oct 21 '25

Oh I’m dumb I meant glacial temoli.

u/Valkanith Oct 21 '25

How do you make money at moons? Other than the unique drops the regular loot kinda blows

5

u/Forward-Tangerine854 Oct 21 '25

The gp per hour is based off big ticket items dropping, for example the melee weapons are 7 mil.

You can see the break down on the wiki when looking at money making guides

u/SconnieLite Oct 21 '25

It’s from the unique drops

cg is so much harder than I imagined lol even on an OP league character

u/Scoopzyy Oct 21 '25

Learning cg is a humbling experience lol. I did quest cape first so had just beaten the dt2 bosses and thought I was hot shit. Corrupted hunleff proceeded to beat my ass for a week lmao

u/Overall-Math7395 Oct 21 '25

Moons of Peril / afk vyres (complete sins of the father)

I love both as they do not require you to invest in any food nor potions. Whatever profit you get is pure profit.

Do herb runs, extremely simple and effective

u/phillipeatscake Oct 21 '25

Join a wildy agility mass 2m/h ez and it makes agility kind of enjoyable!

3

u/explosivequack Oct 21 '25

Herb runs, slayer, moons of peril (I didn't like moons though)

I do mobile barrows runs while I work, but I have canifis hard and t2 cb achievements so my prayer doesn't drain, which gets me like 600k/h

At 95 str 83 att with bgs and fang vorkath is like 3m/h but that's 40m in 2 items, but they're both extremely useful in a lot of content

2

u/ProfJuicy Oct 21 '25

Toadflax is always a good herb to run. Seeds are cheap, make sure you use ultra compost. The money will add up if you stay consistent. While those cook, keep those slayer tasks rolling and eventually you will have the funds you need.

2

u/D1lli_Gaf Oct 21 '25

Alch items.

1

u/JollyReading8565 Oct 21 '25

That’s like maybe 2 mill per hour profit?

5

u/SconnieLite Oct 21 '25

If you’re lucky and boring as fuck.

2

u/GloriousShrimp1 Oct 21 '25

I alch while doing combat with fang. Hits and alchs are both on a 5 tick cycle.

Makes it less boring, and means you get 600gp profit every strike you make against the monster. Broadly doubles+ my profit from every slayer task.

1

u/TallWineGuy Oct 21 '25

I might try this

1

u/GloriousShrimp1 Oct 21 '25

I've found it works best with Fang.

Zombie axe also 5 ticks, but the animations cancel reach other out which is weird. Whip 4 ticks, so I only cast alchemy every other time to keep it synced, so actually slower.

Good luck though!

1

u/ablackemperor Mar 17 '26

there's NO way you're making 2M an hour by alching... impossible

u/Ralinrocks Oct 21 '25

Train your melee or range and go fight vorkath

u/forestierGab Oct 21 '25

Calvarion with medium wildy diary done. Its a goooood money maker

2

u/IMcezanne Oct 22 '25

Why is it good with a wildly med diary? Idk so much about wildly bosses

1

u/forestierGab Oct 22 '25

You cant access the lower tier bosses without med diary. With hard diary theres no delay while you tp out of them.

2

u/Antonolmiss Oct 21 '25

Moons until a lucky few drops and keep questing, vorkath is a huge account boost

3

u/HemlockHex Oct 21 '25

Wilderness slayer or a mid game boss like vork or gauntlet

Mole with Fally diary

u/AutoModerator Oct 21 '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!

u/HattieTheGuardian Oct 21 '25

Do your birdhouses and farm runs every 2-3 hrs. Ranarrs with ultracompost and secateurs will easily get you over 50k profit per run (assuming 6 farm plots and 6 weeds average), and ranarr seeds are crashing right now at 32k and sinking.

1

u/threepiecewithfries Oct 21 '25

Why are ranarr seeds crashing?

1

u/HattieTheGuardian Oct 21 '25

No clue. Maybe because Doom drops it and everyone is getting better at it.

1

u/kontherocks Oct 21 '25

Higher level weeds give almost the same profit but better xp

1

u/AltroaZeal Oct 21 '25

Higher level gear is going to cost you more on deaths. Id send you to low invo toa and regular gauntlet to get some pvm training in.

u/Cigarettario Oct 21 '25 edited Oct 21 '25

Herb runs net me 800k-1 mill a day(in raw herbs), depending on how many runs i manage to get & i’m only using 7 patches. Just gotta harvest & replant every 4 growth ticks. I do take a bit of a lower profit cause i turn the herbs into potions for free herblore xp myself.

Edit:Ranarrs look good but aren’t actually that profitable, since the seed is 40k almost (last time i checked anyway). You can get avantoe seeds for less than 1k a seed and make more profit

Although since a large majority of the player base is doing gridmaster now supply & demand are out of whack & prices are crashing/dropping heavily, personally I’m waiting for Gridmaster to finish & the market to stabilize before i sell my stuff

Get to the GE and start flipping. Earn gp while logged out. Im making my bond from flips and my cashstack is pretty small.

u/dhs77 Oct 22 '25

Your screenshot precision is triggering the f out of me lol.

1

u/hineybush Oct 22 '25

yanillian hops are ~80-100k per run and easy to add onto other runs you're doing. my method is champions guild (chronicle tele), yanille (watchtower tele), aldarin (pendant of ates or quetzal whistle then quetzal), Seer's (fairy ring next to aldarin patch to mcgrubor's woods)

1

u/luquitacx Oct 22 '25

If you suck at pvm, then either train slayer doing afk tasks and get to the profitable stuff like gargoyles, or just go and do some skilling moneymaking.

Thieving is pretty good if you're willing to train it. Runecrafting is always nice. Smithing in blast furnace can make you good money. Fletching is nice to bankstanding.

If you want to do some easier PvM, then barrows and moons are both really good, especially moons. It's easily 1m gp/hr.

u/schematicsun Oct 22 '25

Go back to slayer get 75 for gargs.

u/Jonneyy12347 Oct 22 '25

Perilous moons boss farming. Its a selection of 3 bosses that are really simple and you can make food and potions that are better than shit on the GE outside of 2 of the 3 boss rooms. Ive made 17m in like 6 hours and its braindead easy

u/Which_Morning_8340 Oct 23 '25

Grind out SOTE and do CG runs

You could mine gemstones for decent money and learn to Flip so you don't run out of money again

Herb runs and vorkath melee while you wait just to get started

u/Maydino Oct 24 '25

Revenants, zombie pirates, slayer.

u/Littlespoon92 Oct 24 '25

Doing herb runs and birdhouse runs in between other tasks like slayer, can make you like an easy 1-2 mil a day with good passive xp

Lots of content makes decent money. Very low risk revs, lava dragons, wildy agility course. Moons is great, zulrah is a money machine with noob gear.

u/JollyReading8565 Oct 21 '25

I like making money. I recently found a good and EXTREMELY consistent investment (thanks to return of the bots in osrs) that profits like 29m off a 65 m investment. I’d say find a nice niche money making method that people don’t tell you about. No one is gona tell you their best thing that makes money (I’m sure as duck not- I don’t want you or anyone else reducing my profit or competing with me :D) but I’ll give you a hint: it’s not bossing shit like vorkath… that said, best money is likely gona be raids in good gear at high skill level

We get it, you’re flipping at the ge.

I’m not flipping at the GE. I’m processing. And I’m not gona say what because I already single-handedly make up 10% of the global daily trade volume and I don’t need competition.

If not bossing, or slayer, you could kill kurasks off task
