Make 100M Gold in Old School RuneScape Step-by-Step Guide

Making 100 million gold (GP) in Old School RuneScape (OSRS) is a dream for many players. It’s that sweet spot where you can afford high-tier gear, level up skills without sweating, and maybe even flex a bit in the Grand Exchange. As someone who’s been grinding Gielinor for years, I’ve hit that 100M mark multiple times, and let me tell you, it’s not as daunting as it seems. Whether you’re a skiller, a slayer, or a bossing enthusiast, there’s a path for you. In this guide, I’ll share proven methods, personal tips, and strategies to stack that cash while keeping the grind fun. Ready to become an OSRS millionaire? Let’s dive in!

So, why 100M? It’s not just a number—it’s freedom. With 100M GP, you can buy a Twisted Bow, max out your Construction, or stock up on supplies for raids. When I first hit 100M, I remember the thrill of buying my first Armadyl Crossbow—it felt like I’d unlocked a new tier of the game. But how do you get there? Is it all about grinding bosses, or can casual players make it too? Spoiler: Anyone can do it with the right approach. Let’s break it down.

Best Money-Making Methods for Beginners

If you’re just starting or have mid-level stats, don’t worry—you don’t need 99s to make bank. Here are some beginner-friendly methods I’ve used to build my wealth early on.

Flipping Items in the Grand Exchange

Flipping is like playing the stock market, but with runes and dragon bones. You buy low, sell high, and pocket the difference. I started flipping when I had just 1M GP, and it snowballed from there.

• How it works: Find items with high trade volume (like runes, ores, or potions). Check their price trends on the Grand Exchange, buy when prices dip, and sell when they spike.

• Why it’s great: Low effort, works with any account level, and you can do it while doing other tasks.

• My tip: Start with items like Feathers or Pure Essence. I once made 500k in a day flipping feathers because they’re dirt cheap and move fast.

Pro tip: Use the OSRS Wiki’s Grand Exchange Market Watch to track price trends. It’s a lifesaver.

Mining and Smithing

Mining might sound boring, but it’s steady money. When I was a low-level player, I spent hours mining Iron Ore in Al Kharid. It’s simple, and the profits add up.

• What to mine: Iron Ore (level 15 Mining) or Coal (level 30 Mining).

• Where to go: Al Kharid Mine or Mining Guild.

• Profit: Around 100-200k GP per hour, depending on market prices.

Here’s a quick table to show potential earnings:

Ore Type	Mining Level	GP per Hour	Location
Iron Ore	15	100-150k	Al Kharid
Coal	30	150-200k	Mining Guild

Ever tried mining while watching a show? It’s my go-to for chilling while earning.

Tanning Hides

Tanning hides is another low-skill gem. I used to tan Cowhides into Hard Leather in Al Kharid. It’s repetitive, but the profits are consistent.

• How to do it: Buy cowhides from the Grand Exchange, tan them at the tanner, and sell the leather back.

• Profit: Around 100-150k GP per hour.

• Why I love it: You can start with as little as 10k GP, and it’s brain-dead easy.

Mid-Level Money Makers

Got some decent stats? Time to step it up. These methods helped me push past 50M when my account was around level 70-80.

Slayer Tasks

Slayer is my favorite skill in OSRS—not just for the XP but for the loot. Early on, I used Konar quo Maten for tasks because her drop table includes rare items like Mystic Robes or Dragon Boots. One time, I got a Brimstone Ring drop from a Hydra task, and it sold for 8M instantly. Talk about a rush!

• Best tasks: Gargoyles, Kurasks, or Nechryaels (if you have 80+ Slayer).

• Profit: 300-500k GP per hour, plus XP.

• Gear tip: Bring a Slayer Helmet and decent combat gear to speed things up.

Question: What’s your favorite Slayer monster to farm? For me, it’s Gargoyles—those granite mauls add up!

Killing Green Dragons

Green Dragons in the Wilderness were my go-to when I needed quick cash. They drop Dragon Bones and Green Dragonhide, which sell like hotcakes.

• Location: West of the Dark Warriors’ Fortress (level 13-18 Wilderness).

• Requirements: 60+ Combat, anti-dragon shield, and some food.

• Profit: 300-400k GP per hour.

Safety tip: Watch out for PKers! I got jumped once and barely escaped with my loot. Always bank frequently and stick to low-risk worlds.

High-Level Money Makers for Big Profits

If you’ve got high stats (80+ in combat or skills), these methods can get you to 100M faster than you’d think. These are the ones I rely on now.

Bossing: Zulrah and Vorkath

Bossing is where the real money is. I learned Zulrah after watching countless YouTube guides, and it was a game-changer. My first Tanzanite Fang drop sold for 15M, and I was hooked. Vorkath is even better—more consistent and less complex.

• Zulrah:

  • Requirements: 80+ Ranged/Magic, 70+ Defence.

  • Profit: 1-2M GP per hour.

  • My experience: It took me a week to master Zulrah’s rotations, but once I did, I was pulling in 20M a weekend.

• Vorkath:

  • Requirements: 85+ Ranged, Dragon Slayer II quest.

  • Profit: 1.5-2.5M GP per hour.

  • My tip: Use a Dragon Hunter Crossbow for faster kills. I upgraded mine after saving 50M, and it paid for itself in a week.

Here’s a comparison table:

Boss	Combat Requirement	Profit per Hour	Difficulty
Zulrah	80+ Ranged/Magic	1-2M	High
Vorkath	85+ Ranged	1.5-2.5M	Medium

Ever tried bossing? If not, start with Vorkath—it’s easier to learn than Zulrah.

Runecrafting

Runecrafting is a grind, but it’s INSANELY profitable at high levels. I hit 77 Runecrafting for Blood Runes, and it’s been a goldmine.

• How it works: Craft Blood Runes at the Blood Altar using the Abyss or Ourania Altar.

• Profit: 800k-1.2M GP per hour at 77+ Runecrafting.

• Why it’s worth it: Blood Runes are always in demand for high-level Magic spells.

Fun fact: I once crafted 10k Blood Runes in a weekend and made 15M. My fingers were numb, but my bank was happy.

Passive Money-Making Methods

Want to make money without grinding? These methods let you earn while you’re AFK or doing other tasks.

Managing Miscellania

Managing Miscellania is like having a personal money printer. After completing the Throne of Miscellania quest, I set up my kingdom to collect herbs and made 500k a week for almost no effort.

• How to do it: Invest 750k-1M GP in your kingdom, assign workers to herbs or teak logs, and check back weekly.

• Profit: 400-600k GP per week.

• Tip: Keep your approval rating at 100% for max profits.

Herb Runs

Herb runs are my go-to for passive income. I do them every 80 minutes while working on other skills. Ranarr and Toadflax seeds are my favorites.

• Requirements: 32+ Farming, access to herb patches (use teleports like Ardougne Cloak).

• Profit: 100-300k GP per run (5-10 minutes).

• My story: I started with just 10 Ranarr seeds and turned 200k into 2M in a month.

How often do you do herb runs? Even one a day adds up fast.

Tips to Maximize Your Profits

No matter which method you choose, these tips will help you hit 100M faster. I learned these the hard way.

1. Track Your Progress: Use a spreadsheet to log your daily GP. It kept me motivated when I saw my bank grow from 10M to 50M in a month.

2. Use Alts: I run two accounts—one for skilling, one for combat. My skilling alt mines while my main bosses, doubling my profits.

3. Check Prices Daily: Grand Exchange prices fluctuate. I once bought 10k Yew Logs cheap and sold them for a 2M profit when prices spiked.

4. Join a Clan: Clans share bossing tips and group events. My clan taught me how to trio Chambers of Xeric, and I made 10M in a single run.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

I’ve made plenty of mistakes on my road to 100M. Here’s what to watch out for:

• Don’t Scam or Gamble: I lost 5M to a flower game scam early on. Stick to legit methods.

• Avoid Overinvesting: Don’t dump all your GP into flipping one item. I once lost 3M when Adamant Plates crashed.

• Don’t Ignore Quests: Quests like Dragon Slayer II unlock money-makers like Vorkath. I delayed it and missed out on millions.

How Long Will It Take to Make 100M?

The time depends on your method and playtime. Here’s a rough estimate based on my experience:

Method	GP per Hour	Hours to 100M	Playtime (3h/day)
Flipping	200-500k	200-500 hours	2-4 months
Green Dragons	300-400k	250-333 hours	2-3 months
Vorkath	1.5-2.5M	40-67 hours	2-3 weeks
Runecrafting	800k-1.2M	83-125 hours	1-2 months

With a mix of methods (like Vorkath + herb runs), I hit 100M in about a month of casual play. What’s your daily playtime? Let me know in the comments!

My Personal Journey to 100M

When I started OSRS, I was broke, chopping oaks in Varrock to afford a Mithril Scimitar. Flipping feathers got me my first 10M, then Slayer pushed me to 50M. The final stretch was all Vorkath—those dragon bones and hides stacked up fast. The day I hit 100M, I bought a Bandos Chestplate and felt like a king. It wasn’t just about the gold; it was about proving I could do it. You can too.

Final Thoughts

Making 100M in OSRS isn’t a sprint—it’s a marathon. Whether you’re mining, slaying, or bossing, every GP counts. Mix and match methods that fit your playstyle, stay patient, and avoid scams.
