Old school Runescape is filled with a wide range of various different activities. Some of these activities and tasks can actually make you a decent amount of money. However many methods require the player to have high level requirements and skills. This guide will hopefully teach you how to make good money without needing these high skills.
Killing Chickens 70k GP/H
Requirements:
-None
Reccomended:
-A weapon
Killing chickens in Old school Runescape can be quite a good way to generate a flow of income in your early times in Old school Runescape. You are able to use your equipment given to you when you first land on the main land after tutorial island to kill chickens. It is good to note that you will not die from killing chickens no matter what level you are, so you do not have to bring any food with you in fear of dying. This can allow for more inventory space and less trips to the bank when you deposit your items.
Chickens drop many items. One of which being bones. Bones are always in demand due to the prayer experience they can offer to train your prayer skill. This means they will sell very fast. Raw chicken is also dropped upon killing a chicken which is worth a decent amount over time. They also drop feathers. Feathers are very easy to collect as they are a stackable item. This means they only take up one inventory slot meaning you do not have to make extra trips to the bank when picking these items up. Usually within the hour, you can expect to earn upwards to about 70k GP per hour using this method. Once your inventory is full, make your way to the local bank and deposit your items. Then return to the chickens to carry on. Repeat this process.
Killing chickens is also a good way to level up your combat skills. Attack, strength, defence and hitpoints are all available skills to train when killing chickens. A map of one area which is also F2P is going to be displayed below.
Flipping at the Grand Exchange
Requirements:
-None
Reccomended:
-Some starting cash
The term "flipping" is not unique to Old school Runescape. It is brought from the real world as a term to describe the act of buying something for a low price and selling it for higher than what you bought it for, resulting in a profit. In Old school Runescape, there is a place known as the 'Grand Exchange'. This is possibly the most popular place for players to go in the entire game. It is where you buy and sell items. Every world you hop to, there will always be many people here. To "flip" an item. You first want to begin with your cash stack in your inventory. You now want to search for an item that has a decent, high margin. (gap) The higher the margin, the higher the profit you will make.
To work out the margin of an item, you want to start off by buying one of a random item you believe can make you money. You want to over pay for this item on purpose. No guide can ever tell you the exact items to buy and sell because prices are constantly changing every single day.
Once you find your item, you want to sell it for a very low price on purpose. These process' should be instant as you are over/under paying. You now want to go on over to the grand exchange history and check how large of a gap there is between you buy price and sell price. If you feel as if though the gap is pretty decent, you buy in bulk of that item for the low price and then once they are all bought, you want to sell it for the high price.
It is good to note that flipping is risky. You will profit roughly 90% of the time however there will always be that 10% where there is no other alternative but to lose some money. However you can expect to profit in the long run as long as you invest sensiblely. If you need some starting gold, you can buy some here.
Tanning leathers 300k - 500k GP/H
Requirements:
-Some starting cash
Reccomended:
-Stamina potions
Tanning leather is one of the best money making methods in Old school Runescape for players with no skill levels. All you need is some starting cash. You can get some starting cash by following one of the other methods where no cash stack is required at the start. Perhaps killing chickens. To start off with this method, you want to purchase some dragon hide from the grand exchange. You want to check which dragon hide is the best for the most profit. You can do this by checking the value of the leather of the same dragon. The highest margin is the one you want to go for. If you are extremely poor and can not afford dragon hide, you can also buy cow hide to turn them into regular leather. Once you purchase as much dragon hide or cow hide as you can afford, you want to make your way to Al-kharid. A map is provided below of the Al-Kharid bank.
Once you are in the bank, you want to keep your cash stack in your inventory to pay the fee of the tan, and the rest of your inventory with the dragon hide. If you have a stamina potion then grab one of those too. Next, run to the north side and enter the building and trade with the man. Then click tan all and it should instantly convert your hide into leather. It should also take a very small fee out of your cash stack. After your hide is tanned, make your way back south to the bank and deposit the leather. Repeat this process until all your dragon hide is tanned. Next, go to the grand exchange and sell all your new dragon leather. You should notice that you have made a large profit.
Cutting chocolate bars into dust 100k GP/H
Requirements:
-A small cash stack
Chocolate dust is an item used for the herblore skill. It can be used to create energy potions. You can get chocolate dust from chocolate bars simply by using a knife on the bar.
To begin this method, you want to purchase a large amount of chocolate bars from the grand exchange. Then grab one knife and the rest of your inventory filled with chocolate bars. After, use your knife on the bar and click cut all. After a few seconds you will see all your chocolate bars have converted into chocolate dust. Deposit the dust and withdraw another inventory of chocolate bars and repeat this process. It is a good reccomendation to stand a tile away from a bank so you can easily access the bank. After all your chocolate bars are cut into chocolate dust, head over to the grand exchange and sell all the chocolate dust and you should see that you have made a decent profiit. You should expect to make roughly an average of 100k GP per hour.
Collecting white berries 600k GP/H
Requirements:
-Knife
Reccomended:
-Looting bag
-Anti dragon shield.
-Amulet of glory (charged)
White berries are an item in Old school Runescape required in the herblore skill to create defence potions and super defence potions. These potions are in very high demand and are used a lot in OSRS so this makes white berries a very highly demanded item. They are also quite a high price meaning higher money is to be made with this method. You want to start off at edgeville bank and have your knife in your inventory and anti dragon shield wilded. You can also bring along a weapon to wield to slice the web instead of the knife. This means you can have one extra inventory slot to pick an extra white berry. You can also bring your looting bag at this point if you have one. Run towards the south and pull the lever. Be warned that pulling the lever will lead you to deep wilderness. Next, you want to make your way to the lava dragons area. A map will be provided below.
Once you are in this area, locate yourself to a white berry spot and start picking them up. They respawn very fast, every 5 seconds. So it will not take very long to fill your whole inventory and your looting bag if you have one. Once your inventory is full, return to the same lever that you came from. Then use a teleportation method back to edgeville and bank your berries. Repeat this process. You should be averaging roughly around 600k GP per hour using this money making method.
These are just a couple of money making methods where no requirements are needed. There are hundreds, possibly thousands of methods out there for you to find out. One of the final money making methods with absolutely no requirements in the game is to simply buy gold.You can also sell gold that you make in the game for real money right RS3gold.
