Easy OSRS Gold from Bosses: Low-Level Obor Farming Guide for 2025

Hey there fellow scapers, if you’re looking to make some easy gold in Old School RuneScape without grinding too hard or risking your high-level gear then Obor might just be the boss for you. As someone who’s farmed this giant hill giant countless times since back in the day I can tell you it’s one of the simplest ways to stack up that GP especially if you’re a low-level player or even a mid-level one wanting quick profits. Why choose Obor in 2025? Well because the meta hasn’t shifted much and with the game’s economy still favoring consistent drops like big bones and runes this guide will help you get started or optimize your runs. Let’s dive right in shall we?

Who Is Obor and Why Farm Him?

Obor is basically the free-to-play boss version of a hill giant but way bigger and meaner. He’s located in the Edgeville Dungeon and you need a key to access his lair. Is he tough? Not really if you know what you’re doing. For low-level players around combat level 50 to 70 this is perfect because his attacks are straightforward and his drops can net you anywhere from 100k to 500k per kill if you’re lucky with the uniques.

In 2025 with OSRS updates focusing more on high-end content Obor remains untouched making him a reliable gold farm. I’ve seen new players turn their first mil from him alone. What makes him stand out? His drop table includes stuff like the Hill Giant Club which sells for a pretty penny and tons of alchables. Short answer: easy access low risk high reward.

Requirements to Fight Obor

Before you rush in let’s talk basics. You don’t need insane stats but here’s what I recommend based on my runs.

Combat Level: At least 50 but ideally 60+ to make kills faster.
Attack/Strength/Defence: 40+ in each will do but push for 50 if you can.
Prayer: 43 for Protect from Melee is a game-changer saves you food.
Magic: Not necessary but if you’re maging 40+ helps.
Quests: None required he’s F2P friendly.
Items: A Giant Key which drops from hill giants.

How do you get the key? Simple kill regular hill giants in the Edgeville Dungeon or elsewhere. Drop rate is about 1/128 so expect to grind a bit but it’s worth it. In 2025 the key price on GE is around 50k if you buy but farming your own saves gold.

Gear and Inventory Setup

Gear wise keep it budget since Obor isn’t Zulrah. I always go for melee because it’s efficient but ranged or magic works too. Here’s my setups.

Melee Gear

Slot	Item	Alternative
Head	Rune full helm	Adamant full helm
Neck	Amulet of strength	Amulet of power
Body	Rune platebody	Adamant platebody
Legs	Rune platelegs	Adamant platelegs
Feet	Fighting boots	Rune boots
Hands	Rune gauntlets	Combat bracelet
Weapon	Rune scimitar	Dragon scimitar if you have it
Shield	Rune kiteshield	Anti-dragon shield (not needed)
Ring	Ring of recoil	Warrior ring

For inventory bring 10-15 lobsters or better food prayer potions if you have 43 prayer and a strength potion to boost hits. Don’t forget your Giant Key and maybe a teleport tab for quick escapes.

Ranged Setup

If melee isn’t your thing ranged is safer but slower.

Head: Coif or Robin hood hat.
Body: Green d’hide body.
Legs: Green d’hide chaps.
Weapon: Magic shortbow with rune arrows.
Amulet: Amulet of accuracy.

Inventory similar but add more arrows. Why ranged? Because you can safe-spot him somewhat but it’s not perfect.

Magic Setup

Magic is viable for low defence players.

Slot	Item
Head	Wizard hat
Body	Wizard robe
Weapon	Staff of fire
Spells	Fire Bolt or higher

Bring runes for 50-100 casts and food. Short answer: melee is best for speed.

How to Get to Obor

Obor’s lair is in Edgeville Dungeon. Start from Edgeville bank head south to the dungeon entrance near the yews. Go down the ladder navigate past skeletons and hill giants to the locked gate in the south. Use your Giant Key there and boom you’re in.

Is the dungeon dangerous? For low levels yeah watch out for PKers in wilderness but the lair itself is safe. In 2025 with mobile updates it’s easier to bank and return quickly.

Fighting Strategy: Step by Step

Alright time for the action. Obor hits with melee and has a special attack where he slams the ground stunning you. Protect from Melee blocks most damage.

Enter the lair: Pot up if using strength pots and pray Protect from Melee.
Attack: Get in close for melee or stay back for ranged/magic.
Watch specials: When he jumps switch prayers or eat if needed.
Eat smart: Keep HP above 30 to avoid big hits.
Kill and loot: He dies in 1-2 minutes with decent gear.

Common mistake? Forgetting to pray leading to quick deaths. I’ve died a few times early on but now it’s routine. For 2025 nothing’s changed in his mechanics so this holds.

Drops and Profit Analysis

Now the fun part: loot. Obor‘s drop table is solid for low levels.

Common Drops

Big bones (always 50 noted) – good for prayer or sell.
Runes: laws deaths chaos in stacks.
Coins: up to 20k.
Gems and ores.

Rare Drops

Item	Drop Rate	GE Price (2025 est.)
Hill giant club	1/118	700k-1m
Ensouled giant head	1/25	2k each
Clue scroll (hard)	1/128	Varies
Long bone	1/400	Useful for cons

Average kill? Around 50k-100k but with a club drop it’s jackpot. Farming 10 keys a day can net 500k+ easy. Why low-level friendly? No big investments needed.

Tips and Tricks for Efficient Farming

To maximize profits here’s what I’ve learned over years.

Key farming: Kill hill giants while waiting for worlds to hop less crowded.
World hopping: After kill hop to new world for faster keys.
Alts: Use an alt to farm keys while main kills Obor.
Bank runs: Edgeville bank is close use glory or tabs.
Avoid peak hours: Less competition in off-times.

Is it boring? Sometimes but the gold adds up. In 2025 with inflation runes sell higher so profits are better than ever.

One trick: If you’re ironman Obor is great for early runes and bones. I’ve built accounts solely on this.

Potential Risks and How to Mitigate

Obor isn’t risk-free. Dungeon has PKers nearby so don’t bring valuables. If you die in lair you lose items but graves last long.

Mitigate by: Banking often using cheap gear and watching minimap. Simple right?
