OSRS Quick Money Making Guide for All Players

Fellow Gielinor adventurers! If you’re anything like me, you’ve spent hours in Old School RuneScape (OSRS) dreaming of that shiny stack of gold pieces to fund your next big purchase—maybe a Twisted Bow or just enough to finally upgrade your gear. I’ve been playing OSRS for years, and I’ve had my fair share of broke moments, like when I blew 5M on a bad clue scroll streak. But I’ve also learned some killer ways to make money fast, whether you’re a low-level newbie or a maxed-out pro. In this guide, I’ll share my favorite quick money-making methods in a conversational tone, sprinkled with personal stories and tips to help you stack gold like a pro. Let’s dive in!
Gold is the lifeblood of OSRS. Whether you’re buying supplies for Slayer, funding a new skill grind, or just flexing with a cool cosmetic, you need cash. I remember my first time trying to afford a Dragon Scimitar—I was skint and had to grind for days. Quick money-making methods saved me, and they can save you too, no matter your level.
So, why focus on quick methods?
-
Time-Saving: You get gold fast without weeks избавиться
System: weeks of grinding.
-
Flexible: Works for all levels, from fresh accounts to maxed players.
-
Fun: Some methods, like killing bosses, are exciting and profitable.
Ever been stuck with no gold in OSRS? It’s the worst, right? Let’s fix that.
Low-Level Money Making Methods
If you’re just starting out or have low stats, don’t worry—there are solid ways to make bank without needing crazy skills. Here are my go-to methods for low-level players.
Collecting Red Spider’s Eggs
One of my first money-making grinds was collecting Red Spider’s Eggs in the Edgeville Dungeon. They sell for about 500-600 gold each on the Grand Exchange (GE), and you can grab them pretty fast.
-
How to Do It: Head to the Edgeville Dungeon (Wilderness section) or Forthos Dungeon. Pick up eggs from the spawns or kill red spiders. I prefer Forthos for safety—no PKers!
-
Profit: Around 200-300k per hour.
-
Requirements: None, but a teleport tab helps in the Wilderness.
I once spent an afternoon in Forthos Dungeon and walked away with 200 eggs, netting me about 100k. Not bad for a level 30 account!
Tanning Dragonhides
Tanning Green Dragonhide into leather is a classic. I did this when I was a noob, and it’s so easy it’s almost boring.
-
How to Do It: Buy Green Dragonhides on the GE (about 1,500 gp each), tan them at the tanner in Al Kharid for 20 gp each, and sell the leather for around 1,800 gp.
-
Profit: About 200-300k per hour, depending on GE prices.
-
Requirements: Just some starting cash (50k to begin).
Pro tip: Buy in bulk to save trips to the GE. Ever tried tanning hides? It’s mindless but profitable!
Mid-Level Money Making Methods
Got some decent stats, like 50+ in combat or skills? These methods can ramp up your gold per hour. I started doing these when I hit mid-levels, and they made me feel like a pro.
Killing Green Dragons
Killing Green Dragons in the Wilderness was my first “big” money maker. Their bones and hides are worth a ton, but watch out for PKers!
-
How to Do It: Head to the Wilderness (level 12-15) with decent combat gear (I used a Rune Scimitar and Anti-Dragon Shield). Kill dragons, collect bones (1,500 gp) and hides (1,500 gp).
-
Profit: Around 400-600k per hour.
-
Requirements: 50+ Combat, Anti-Dragon Shield, and some guts for the Wilderness.
I once got PKed with a full inventory of dragon bones—ouch! Always bring a teleport tab. Have you ever braved the Wilderness for dragons?
Making Super Restore Potions
Herblore can be a goldmine. I grinded Super Restore Potions to fund my first Abyssal Whip, and it was worth every second.
-
How to Do It: At level 63 Herblore, combine a Clean Snapdragon (8-10k gp) with Red Spider’s Eggs (500-600 gp) in a Vial of Water. Sell the Super Restore (3) for 10-12k gp.
-
Profit: About 500-700k per hour if you buy ingredients.
-
Requirements: 63 Herblore (use a Botanical Pie for +4 boost if close).
It’s repetitive, but banking that gold feels so good. What’s your favorite Herblore money maker?
High-Level Money Making Methods
If you’ve got high stats (70+ in combat or skills), you can make serious cash. These methods are where I spend most of my time now, and they’re a blast.
Killing Zulrah
Zulrah is my favorite boss for quick cash. My first kill was a disaster—I died in 30 seconds—but once I got the hang of it, the loot was insane.
-
How to Do It: Learn Zulrah’s rotations (watch a guide first!). Use Magic or Ranged (I prefer Ranged with a Toxic Blowpipe). Loot scales (200 gp) and unique drops like Tanzanite Fangs (2-3M).
-
Profit: 1-2M per hour, depending on drops.
Ever fought Zulrah? It’s tough but so rewarding!
Flipping on the Grand Exchange
Flipping items on the GE is like playing the stock market in OSRS. I’ve made millions flipping stuff like Rune Platebodies and Dragon Bones.
-
How to Do It: Buy items at a low price, wait for the price to rise, and sell high. Use a GE tracker to spot trends. I flip 100-200 items at a time for steady profits.
-
Profit: 500k-2M per hour, depending on margins.
-
Requirements: Starting cash (1M+ recommended) and market knowledge.
Check out this table for some items I’ve flipped successfully:
Item |
Buy Price (gp) |
Sell Price (gp) |
Profit per Item (gp) |
---|---|---|---|
Rune Platebody |
38,000 |
40,000 |
2,000 |
Dragon Bones |
1,500 |
1,800 |
300 |
Super Restore (4) |
11,000 |
12,000 |

Tips for Maximizing Your Profits
No matter which method you choose, these tips will help you make more gold faster. I learned these the hard way after some costly mistakes.
Use Bank Presets
Bank presets are a lifesaver. I set up presets for Green Dragons with my combat gear, food, and teleports. It saves so much time. Have you tried presets yet? They’re game-changers.
Watch the Market
GE prices change all the time. I check a GE tracker every day to spot deals. For example, I bought Snapdragons at 8k during a dip and sold Super Restores for 12k—a nice profit!
Avoid Common Mistakes
Here’s what I’ve messed up before:
-
Not Banking Often: I lost 200k in dragon bones to a PKer once. Bank frequently in risky areas!
-
Overbuying: I bought 1,000 Dragonhides once, and the price crashed. Start small to test the market.
-
Ignoring Supplies: Don’t forget food, runes, or teleports. I’ve died because I forgot to restock!
What’s a money-making mistake you’ve made? We’ve all got one!
Combining Methods for Big Gains
Here’s a pro tip: mix methods for max efficiency. I often kill Green Dragons for hides and bones, then tan the hides and sell both. It’s like double-dipping profits. Another time, I flipped Super Restores while waiting for Zulrah kills to respawn. You can make 1M+ per hour this way!
Ever tried combining money makers? It’s like a gold-making buffet!
Final Thoughts
Making money fast in OSRS is all about finding methods that match your skills and playstyle.
