OSRS F2P Money Making Guide 2025 (Updated: April 12)
Old School RuneScape (OSRS) offers many ways to make gold even if you’re a Free-to-Play (F2P) player. Whether you’re new or playing on an F2P ironman, there are solid options to earn millions over time without spending a single dollar. In this guide, we’ll show the best F2P money making methods for 2025, with current prices and low requirements.
Why F2P Money Making Is Still Worth It in 2025
Free-to-play worlds are often crowded, and updates are rare compared to P2P but they still offer great profit opportunities. F2P is ideal for:
- Testing new methods before membership
- Building starter gold for bond flipping
- Creating mules for gold farms
- Ironman challenge playstyles
Let’s get straight into the top money makers.
1. Mining Iron Ore (Varrock East)
Requirements: 15+ Mining
GP per hour: 50k – 80k
AFK?: Yes
Location: Varrock East Mine
Use a Rune or Iron Pickaxe and mine the 3 iron rocks close together. World hop for max efficiency. Bank at Varrock East Bank.
Tip: Combine with Superheat Item spell (members) if you upgrade later.
2. Making Pizza (Cooking)
Requirements: 35 Cooking
GP per hour: 100k+
AFK?: Semi
Items Needed: Plain pizza + Tuna/Anchovies
Buy plain pizzas and add tuna or anchovies. Cooked Tuna pizza sells higher due to PvP and bossing demand.
Tip: GE flipping works well with this method too.
3. Killing Hill Giants (Edgeville Dungeon)
Requirements: 40+ Combat, Brass key
GP per hour: 120k – 180k
AFK?: No
Main Drops: Big bones, Limpwurt roots
Big bones sell well, and Limpwurt root prices are stable. Use safe spots or melee them with decent food.
Warning: PvP worlds are risky but profitable.
4. Teleporting Items (Laws + Airs)
Requirements: 25+ Magic
GP per hour: 150k
AFK?: Yes
Method: Cast Teleport to Varrock/Lumbridge/Falador
Craft or buy Law runes and Airs, and cast teleports repeatedly. You gain Magic XP and can profit from selling teleport tabs (if using a house in P2P later).
5. Crafting Gold Amulets
Requirements: 8 Crafting
GP per hour: 90k
Items Needed: Gold bars, amulet mould
Buy gold bars, use furnace in Al Kharid. Gold amulets are high in demand due to enchantment uses.
Pro Tip: Good for early crafting XP + GP.
6. Collecting Wine of Zamorak (with Telekinetic Grab)
Requirements: 33 Magic
GP per hour: 150k – 200k
AFK?: No
Location: Chaos Temple (Wilderness)
Use Telekinetic Grab to safely collect the Wine of Zamorak, which sells for high profit due to its use in Herblore (P2P).
Important: Watch for PKers if you’re in PvP worlds.
7. Buying Feathers & Reselling
Requirements: None
GP per hour: 80k
Method: Buy feathers from Fishing Shops (Port Sarim) and sell on GE.
This is a beginner-friendly method and can be used with multiple accounts.
8. F2P Ironman Money Making Tips
Ironmen can’t use GE, so you’ll need to:
- Sell cooked food (like trout/salmon) to general stores
- Mine and smelt your own ores
- Kill monsters for item drops and bones
Start with cow hides and transition into mining, smithing, or PvM.
9. What to Do With Your F2P Gold?
Once you hit 1M–2M GP in F2P, here’s what you can do:
- Flip items on GE
- Save for a Bond (for membership)
- Invest in skilling supplies
- Upgrade gear for PvM
If you plan to farm gold, consider turning your F2P account into a dedicated mule or bot-ready mule (if allowed).
FAQs
Q: Can I make 1M GP in F2P OSRS?
