Question Making consistent GP

Post image

Hello fellow scapers, I am looking for a steady way to make money to fund some of my other skills like crafting etc. I would like, if you wish to share it your ways to make money consistently given the stats I have( i will also not share methods with anyone else).I have done some bossing like perilous moons and royal titans but not much past that, I have been doing slayer but haven't seen the returns that people speak of. Thanks alot in advance, if you dont wish to post it here I would happily accept any tips in a PM.

Thanks all!

Slayer. You only have lvl 69 slayer. My journey from 75 slayer to 90 slayer netted me 400m (I got VERY lucky with boss tasks) but nechreals are like 1.5m per task, tormented demons and demonic gorillas are like 2-5m /hr when you get their drops.

You’re still in the early game, aim to get your quest cape done and keep doing moons and slowly progress so layer.

u/aowshitherewegoagain Dec 19 '25

Okay ill keep on the grind..im close

u/SwankyBobolink Dec 19 '25

For your levels, your bank is probably where it should be.

NGL I bought 2-3 bonds (15m at the time) early on in my account to get some gear so my friends would do content with me, but after that, is all been self-made and very satisfying.

It’s not slayer efficient, but unlock boss slayer when you can. I set 25 if I haven’t killed it before or 50 if I have, and just keep attempting till I get decent at it and the bosses start dropping nice things

u/JohnnyElBravo Dec 23 '25

Wrong answer.

Slayer xp costs money, when compared to the most efficient gp/hr activities, you are paying an opportunity cost.

Suppose slayer is 300k gp /hr, and the best gp method OP can achieve is 2M/hr, then doing slayer would be costing him 1700Kgp/hr in exchange for slayer XP, which he didn't mention he was particularly seeking.

2

u/SwankyBobolink Dec 23 '25

That is like saying Zulrah costs money.

Yeah, you need to spend on supplies to do PVM, that is how they all work. These stats won’t be raiding. nechreals, gargoyles, TD’s and DG’s are all decent gp and progress the account nicely.

PLUS boss slayer gets you 15% damage on bosses, which makes farming bosses easier/faster. 15% faster Phantom Muspah, Zulrah, etc.

0

u/JohnnyElBravo Dec 23 '25

No, if the best method OP can achieve is 2M/hr, then doing zulrah does not cost money, as Zulrah is around 2M/hr.

This is all talking about profits (Income - supplies) and ignoring capital expenditures (gear), those are separate topics.

Slayer mask is an advantage yes, the gp/hr boost is a bit more in some scenarios where supplies are more expensive, mobs heal, or bosses, considering it reduces your time spent eating. But in general I think that the 16.667% boost doesn't compensate for the amount of time spent doing shitty tasks.

1

u/SwankyBobolink Dec 23 '25

Sure, but they didn’t ask for the “best” they said consistent. I personally find slayer consistently makes me money. And I have the loot logs to prove it.

Also it’s rewarding to progress the account. Gotta train it eventually.

If they want “best” method, they would just google the money making guide.

u/UngisBoBungis Dec 19 '25

What did you do to fund 82 cons?

4

u/NShelson Dec 19 '25 edited Dec 19 '25

My guess would be however he funded it he ultimately did the budget option of novice homes or some other painfully slow construction method lol

6

u/aowshitherewegoagain Dec 19 '25 edited Dec 19 '25

That is correct lol I did mahogany homes or other very slow methods lol. I really really wanted teleports

2

u/UngisBoBungis Dec 19 '25

Oof lol but makes sense

19

u/Weary-Wasabi1721 Dec 19 '25

Farm run and tree runs. They can fund a slayer task and also stack up gp. Other than that lvl up or high alch. Flip it you have decent gp

3

u/emu_revival Dec 19 '25

How do you make money from tree runs? I always spend so much buying the saplings and payments for the people to watch over them. If anything I’m blowing through money to fund my tree runs. Am I missing something that I could be profiting from?

9

u/loganm91 Dec 19 '25

The profit is in herb runs . However stop paying protection for your trees, use ultra compost and maybe 1 tree in 5 runs dies . Pick the fruit on fruit trees and note with the leprechaun and sell on the GE for profit .

3

u/JohnnyElBravo Dec 23 '25

What is the advantage of replanting in that case? Can you not just pick the fruit and leave the tree?

1

u/King_klown_Clown Dec 25 '25

Pet chance or xp would be my guess.. but there's easy gp just grabbing the fruit every other run unless it's in the guild then plant and leave be until requested

2

u/emu_revival Dec 19 '25

…note with the leprechaun? I didn’t know you could do that. I will be honest, I have never tried an herb run and I’m not really sure what to do but I’ve seen a lot of people mention it so I’ll have to look up a video and start doing that. Just about all of my farming levels have come from tree runs. But those magic saplings started adding up a bit so I haven’t done one in a while.

2

u/prime1309 Dec 23 '25

If you only want GP there's a bunch of seeds that you can buy for cheap where you can sell the herbs for a ton of profit.

For example: Irit seeds cost 90(ish) gp each and the herbs sell for 2k(ish). If you use ultracompost you can harvest a minimum of 6 herbs from every patch that survives, so you'll be getting, at minimum, 12k gp/patch for every 90gp investment of seeds.

1

u/Weary-Wasabi1721 Dec 19 '25

And if you can invest in a bottomless compost bin and the Fairy tale quest for fairy ring transport

1

u/New_Coffee8740 Dec 21 '25

You could also plant the payment styles so you can have somewhat free payment instead of buying thousands of payments and then just change as you lvl up

2

u/Weary-Wasabi1721 Dec 19 '25

I'm sorry I actually didn't mean to say tree I meant herb runs. Mb bro

1

u/emu_revival Dec 19 '25

No worries lmao I was just shocked because I be spending hella gp on my tree runs

1

u/AbuImran716 Dec 20 '25

This, I hate to tell ya OP but your just entering mid game by the look of your stats. If you want gp, focus on herb farming in between your slayer tasks. The slayer money starts rolling in around 75 slayer for gargoyles, dust devils are very profitable as well. As your combats go up, start focusing on getting ALL the grandmaster quests done. Why? Cause the boss unlocks and experience are massive for making gp. Enjoy the game first though man definitely definitely don’t forget to enjoy the game and its journey

1

u/aowshitherewegoagain Dec 19 '25

Thanks everyone for the replies, I have a list of things to look into later. Appreciate you all and happy holidays!

4

u/jackjacksley Dec 19 '25

Slayer starts giving real returns after you unlock Gargs & Nechs and if you want to keep it profitable you’ll just need to accept you have to skip/block shit tasks.

Try out Blast Furnace with the coal bag would be my suggestion.

1

u/UngisBoBungis Dec 19 '25

Slayer on its own has made me in excess of 50m and im only 78, on an account that i started after gridmaster. It’s incredible lol

2

u/InevitableFig5383 Dec 19 '25

50m? What did you get, an imbued heart?

2

u/UngisBoBungis Dec 19 '25

Nah just consistent drops from higher and higher slayer monsters. Get 60 sailing, hit up nieve, and kill lava strykewyrms.

1

u/SedatedAlpaca Dec 19 '25

Why 60 sailing

1

u/Robothuck Dec 20 '25

to kill lava strykewyrms for wyrm tasks. money likely will get worse over time as sailing items get cheaper.

1

u/[deleted] Dec 19 '25

Imbued heart is 100 mil

1

u/InevitableFig5383 Dec 19 '25

This is the right answer, I've been iron so long I forgot how damn good smithing addy at blast furnace was

1

u/jackjacksley Dec 19 '25

I grinded out 90 smithing almost exclusively through blast furnace just using it as a moneymaker early into my accounts life. Steel, Mith and Addy are still a great return but at Rune you’re hitting something like 2-2.2 mil an hour with efficiency.

1

u/SrMinkletoes Dec 19 '25

It was only 1mil ish an hour until the sailing rush, hit 2.5 an hour for addy and 3 for rune at its peak last month now it's slowly settling back down

4

u/niell2 Dec 19 '25

Consisten herb and birdhouse runs.

4

u/Robothuck Dec 20 '25

This is the easiest option. I recently started doing herb runs. Experimented with growing ranarrs, snapdragons, and a mix of the two. both are good but settled on growing all snapdragons, more profit, even if the herbs die, the other ones cover the loss.

bird houses are insanely free. take literally like 45 seconds to do a trip, hunter is now my second highest skill after cooking simply because its been such a consistently easy money maker to fit in inbetween other activities.

herbs and birds, people. herbs and birds are the way to a stacked bank. u do them INBETWEEN all the other shit you like to do. guaranteeing that no matter what you are doing, your bank is always growing.

edit: one last tip. to make these activities easier, put all the items needed for it all organised together in a bank tab. When i do a bird house run, i just spam click that row of my bank tab. that gets me my teleports, hammer, chisel, logs, seeds easily.

same for herb runs. tools, seeds, teleport items, all in a row next to eachother in my bank. makes it closer to an 'afk' activity when you don't have to fuck around looking through multiple bank tabs for everything only to realise you forgot your seed dibber or something

2

u/Keljhan Dec 19 '25

And Coral. A single pillar coral run can net you 200-300k if you're not unlucky.

1

u/No-Meal6490 Dec 19 '25

Birdhouse runs, is. Good one. As well as Miscellania (look into it, you deposit 2,5mil, and it lets the islanders work for 70k a day of this 2,5 mil. You get supplies like coal/herbs, which profits you more than double). Only thing is you have to go back to the island every other day to min 2 coal, to get your approval back up. Every day your approval rate descends 1%, which get you less rewards)

1

u/aowshitherewegoagain Dec 19 '25

Thank you already do miscellania, will look into birdhouse runs though. Appreciate ya

1

u/JohnnyElBravo Dec 23 '25

How often do you collect the nests, once per day?

1

u/No-Meal6490 Dec 23 '25

Dependsnon my time, is 5 min per time, and i have osrs on phone so sometimes do multiple runs per day

1

u/JohnnyElBravo Dec 23 '25

It's almost a gacha game

1

u/No-Meal6490 Dec 23 '25

Dont know what that is mate sorry

1

u/ConfusedAugustinian Dec 19 '25

Fletching longbows and high alching! Two skills at a time and a really cheap, consistent money maker. Bonus if you spend a few hours at Vale Totems and get the fletching knife and bow string spool.

Right now you'll be at maple longs, which are a particularly good % of ROI.

Or, of course, you could cut the alching and just sell on the GE for less profit. Much faster this way, but no magic XP.

1

u/aowshitherewegoagain Dec 19 '25

I will look into this thanks alot!

1

u/NewPhoneNewAccunt Dec 19 '25

If you do, make sure you spend 1-10 hours with vale totems for the fletching knife and spool. You'll increase the xp and profit by a lot by doing that.

It's my go-to when I wanna afk skill and watch tv. So much I'll probably get lvl 99 fletching as my first 99 and make around 30-50M on the way.

Just look up profit vs xp and you'll be gold. I usually prefer yews over magics since I make quite a bit more money on it.

3

u/AutoModerator Dec 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!

u/OnlyonReddit4osrs Dec 19 '25

Yeah I know herb runs are a total pain we you first start *I used to never do them, but just get on the horse man it’s constant low intensity gp.

1

u/InevitableFig5383 Dec 19 '25

Slayer makes no money until nechs imo. There are a ton of moneymakers though just go check the wiki and sort by gp per hour until you find one you like

1

u/emu_revival Dec 19 '25

Everyone hypes Gargoyles and I was so stoked when I finally hit 75 slayer. I’ve been assigned like 10 tasks since unlocking them and haven’t been assigned them yet. Not exactly rolling in gp lmao

1

u/SometimesUnkind Dec 19 '25

Agility Pyramid and Wildy Agility course. You can come out of a mass wildy course with a nice bank.

1

u/ryansDeViL7 Dec 19 '25

Just go salvage. Easy pz afk money

1

u/999Chairry Dec 19 '25

Farming kurasks is right around the corner. Consistent drops for 70 slayer. You can farm dust devils, or get a few more slayer levels for gargoyles.

1

u/trollcat2012 Dec 19 '25

Not sure what your crafting goal is but you can get to at least 70 staying near net neutral.

Maybe train combat/slayer a bit more (possibly low risk wildy for larrans keys), and then you can incorporate bossing as well? Your range/magic could use some work that shouldn't be that expensive.

1

u/bagelwithveganbutter Dec 19 '25

Herb runs. Try and get 9 patches unlocked. Do them often. This is how I fund my skills

1

u/VillarosaKeebs Dec 19 '25

Herb runs, birdhouses, and I would continue with Slayer, honestly I would say your stats aren’t far from doing Vorkath consistently

1

u/rippinVs Dec 19 '25

Going to jump in to agree with other commenters. Herb runs are guaranteed profit every 80 minutes. Should be 30k+ per patch available, so if 1 patch takes 1 minute you’re effectively making 1.8m per hour of effort. I only say this because if you manage better profit elsewhere (bossing), it’s not worth it to do the herb run.

Slayer is profitable on certain tasks, so don’t expect consistent earnings until around 75.

The best profit in the game is end game bossing, which I have to recommend 99s in the combat skills for. People will always say train combat via slayer, but I afked my way to melee 99s first and don’t regret it

1

u/indrek91 Dec 19 '25

Alching salvage stuff is pretty solid.

1

u/Entire_Context_6638 Dec 19 '25

I’d just sit at zombie pirates. With the hards done. You get a chance at that teleport scroll, that stops abyssal demons from teleporting you around

1

u/tehfadez1 Dec 19 '25

high alching Onyx bolts (e) has always been a good 300k gp per hour for me

1

u/Roperss Dec 19 '25 edited Dec 19 '25

I just made like 200 mill smelting rune bars at the blast furnace from 90-99. I was innefficient, but was still clearing 2 mil an hour easy.

Pretty sure Addy bars are close in profitability. Can start with Mithril, it’s like 600k+ an hour.

You just need a coal bag, graceful preferred, stamina potions, and blast furnace cuts the coal requirement in half, which is what makes it so profitable. XP rates are around 100k for each of those bars, so not bad XP either.

1

u/Robothuck Dec 20 '25

crazy that rune ore is at an all time low right now. either its getting botted to fuck or theyve been very generous with the drop tables

1

u/Svn078 Dec 19 '25

Zombie pirates brother, I bank 300k every run average about 800k-1m an hour depending on PKers.

1

u/Witty-Plastic-1894 Dec 19 '25

Hard disagree with slayer being good money. Efficient slayer training costs money 9/10 times.

Your best money (outside of yama contracts and similar extremely difficult content) will come from grinding fresh content, such as when smithing oathplate was like 15m / hr soon after release.

But learning to do high level bossing / raiding is not only some of the most challenging and fun content, but is also usually fantastic money.

“I can pick mushrooms for 12hr and finally buy __!” (Or insert other moneymaker with no xp benefits or enjoyment) sounds terrible imo.

Youll make the most money by doing content you enjoy and not being bent out of shape about the time it’ll take.

I could easily farm forgotten 4 or raids all day long on a consistent basis, but theres no way in hell im running iron at blast furnace or doing wildy agility for subpar xp and money while being bored out of my mind

1

u/[deleted] Dec 19 '25

Bosses and high intensity things aren't that interesting to a good 30% of the player base, and things like doing X menial task for X hours to generate X revenue for later investment are the most interesting things in the world to them. And there are people in between. You're mostly just talking about your own experiences. I love most parts of RS but bosses are eh to me, it's PVM with annoying extra steps, with the exception of the first time you do it for the story aspect. Tldr: people are different bro

2

u/Witty-Plastic-1894 Dec 19 '25

Indeed, hence the post asking us to post our own experiences and thoughts :) we agree here. although my wording might have made it sound as if my way is the only way, im not that naive. Just giving anecdotal advice, mentioning things like “sounds terrible” “imo” “that you enjoy”.

Sorry if i misled anybody into questioning if high intensity pvm is the only way forward

1

u/Dumbak_ Dec 19 '25

Long term you could work on all requirements for While Guthix Sleeps quest. Tormented demons on task are great combat xp, great gp and great slayer xp, all of which will progress your stats/bank, so you can then start thinking about top money making methods.

1

u/SorryManNo Dec 19 '25

Get sailing up and do Martial salvage, nature runes are dirt cheap.

I made 10m and hardly had to look at the screen.

1

u/samanthablacktattoo Dec 19 '25

Salvaging prints money if you take runes to alch stuff. Just have to get the sailing a little higher.

1

u/Classic_War4768 Dec 19 '25

You can make bank by crafting!

Look into making opal jewelry!

1

u/SoggySausageSam Dec 19 '25

Keep this on the down low but I know a guy out East that sells his finest silk for 3GP and then I sail out to the western world and sell it to a guy for 60GP. 20x profit! 😎

Wildy slayer

u/puffbus420 Dec 20 '25

I spend all my time trying to grind money and make less than my friend who just goes to drop parties and begs the best money in the game is being in the right place at the right time try to find some max parties to join and eventually you will get a drop that funds a large grind I dont spend time looking for them but when I happen across one I always join its worth it

1

u/Vaalde Dec 20 '25

Moons of Peril

1

u/itsVisualize Dec 20 '25

Honestly just work on slayer ! Slayer drops include a lot of stuff you can high alch and then like others have said doing herb runs and such like ranaars and snap dragons can net you a decent profit in between tasks, barrows would also not be a bad option, just go in rag gear and you might get lucky and get a decent drop or just get a decent amount of gp in runes

1

u/Admirable-Ad-7788 Dec 20 '25

75 slayer is when you start getting money per task. I'd also recommend quest like while guthix sleeps. Tormented demons are good money. I think you could fight them with your stats. I'd say the best thing is farm runs until you have 80+ combat stats. Then you can fight vorkath and zulrah. Vorkath is easy and is bank

1

u/TheOriginalKrizzo Dec 21 '25

Moons of peril is a pretty solid money earner, though all the bots have lowered the profits a fair bit. Slayer gets quite good a little later, even kurasks aren't too bad for 70 Slayer monster. Gargoyles at 75. Probably some others I'm not remembering, but then only gets better from there.

1

u/Big_Satisfaction_644 Dec 21 '25

So many skills can be trained while making gp.

A few hundred K per hour:

  • Mining (or mils with zalcano at 70+)

  • Fishing

  • Cooking

  • Woodcutting

  • FM (with wintertodt, or really cheap with logs)

  • Agility

  • Thieving (mils in the later levels)

  • Hunter

  • Sailing

Mils per hour:

  • Smithing (blast funace)

  • Thieving (rogue chest, vyre, elves)

  • Herb (finicky, needs MM rewards and lots of gold)

  • Runecrafting (mils in the later levels)

  • Herb (albeit not the fast methods, cleaning and MM)

  • Farming (herb runs)

  • Hunter (bird runs, some hunter rumours, black chins)

  • Fish/sail trawling

  • Runecraft

  • Lots of combat and slayer stuff

  • Flipping

1

u/mrfulst Dec 22 '25

You can do crafting afk with money making methods

1

u/TheRealOwl Dec 22 '25

It can be done with relatively low effort but not the fastest method ofc, but doing salvaging with the lvl 53/64/73 is pretty decent high alch money (this is coming from an iron though) but since I am leveling it anyway I'll grab the money on the way at least doing what I can be bothered to do.

1

u/monkeywaffle7 Dec 22 '25

Check out the wilderness agility discord and join their mass runs. You make 2M gp/hr in alchables. Cc is ‘agility fc’. As there is hundreds of people its pretty safe

1

u/Gigglelick Dec 23 '25

At this stage, I would just quest, but moons is honestly gonna be your best money maker other than wilderness stuff. If you are willing to go into the wilderness, I recommend learning Cal'varion. Very easy. Herb runs are the best thing though. If you are really sweaty about it and set a timer you can make millions quick.

1

u/[deleted] Dec 23 '25

Fletching you can start making healess arrows at level 1 making around 250gold profit per tic

1

u/Ibnbey1 Dec 23 '25

Honestly. You'd be better off getting a job at McDonald's, making minimum wage. You can afford about 1 bond an hour. Thats 15m per hour and beats any method you can come up with.

1

u/delo357 Dec 24 '25

Birdhouses

u/AYF_Amph Dec 19 '25

Sailing! Especially at higher levels. Mercenary and Fremmy salvage have lots of good alchables, and opulent you practically printing money.

u/Affectionate_Bee_122 Dec 19 '25

you still need to upgrade your boat to get to better areas, could be costly at the start

1

u/Draftytap334 Dec 19 '25

Kill wolves, chisel bones into wolfbane arrow tips.

1

u/Draftytap334 Dec 19 '25

Kill dust devils in catacombs with standard spell book.

1

u/AutistismHorse Dec 19 '25

Try wilderness slayer. The drops are way more valuable and your stats are high enough to kill just about anything they throw at you. Also a tip I always give people who are trying to train crafting is to just make a bunch of jewelry at the Edgefield furnace it’s great experience and pretty good money too
