In this guide, we’re going to dive into three effective low to mid-level money-making methods in Old School RuneScape (OSRS). These methods not only provide decent OSRS gold per hour but also vary in terms of how active or AFK (Away From Keyboard) they are. One method, in particular, can earn you over 2 million gold per hour! If this guide helps you out, do me a favor and hit that like button. Now, let’s cut the intro and get right into it.
Method 1: Fletching Gems into Bolt Tips
The first money-making method we’re going to explore is fletching gems into bolt tips. The beauty of this method is its profitability across most types of gems. Let’s break it down:
Diamonds
Investment: 2,000 diamonds
Process: Cutting diamonds into bolt tips
Profit: 1.14 million gold in profit
Rate: You can cut approximately 1,150 diamonds per hour
Math:
Cost per diamond: 1,690 gold
Selling price per bolt tip: 175 gold
1,150 diamonds yield 475,000 gold per hour in profit
Requirement: 65 Fletching
Opals
Investment: 2,000 opals
Process: Cutting opals into bolt tips
Profit: 2,097,600 gold for a total profit of 545,000 gold per hour
Rate: Cutting 1,150 opals per hour yields 13,800 opal tips
Math:
Cost per opal: 1,350 gold
Selling price per opal tip: 152 gold
Requirement: 11 Fletching
This method is great for a second account due to its AFK nature. You can cut an inventory of gems and have plenty of time to focus on other tasks or accounts while waiting.
Method 2: Generating Impling Jars
This next method is more intensive but highly profitable: generating impling jars.
Requirements
Hunter Level: 17
Quest: Completion of Lost City
Process
Location: Puro-Puro
Steps:
Capture implings and exchange them for a jar generator.
The jar generator gives you 33 impling jars each time it’s filled.
One inventory can hold up to 1,023 jars before needing to bank.
Profit Breakdown
Cost: 578,243 gold for 1,023 jars
Revenue: 776,192 gold from selling the jars
Profit: 197,949 gold in 12 minutes
Hourly Rate: Adding 3 minutes for banking, this translates to 791,000 gold per hour
This method requires active participation and focus but can yield substantial profits depending on the prices and margins of the implings you capture.
Method 3: Buying and Selling Rock Thrown Hammers
One of the most lucrative methods with no skill or quest requirements is buying and selling Rock Thrown Hammers.
Process
Step 1: Check the margins for Rock Thrown Hammers on the Grand Exchange.
Step 2: Purchase the hammers from a Slayer master.
Step 3: Sell the hammers on the Grand Exchange.
Profit Breakdown
Investment: 2,637,505 gold for 11,750 hammers
Revenue: Selling hammers at 268 gold each
Profit: 488,000 gold in 10 minutes
Hourly Rate: 2,928,000 gold per hour if margins hold
While this method requires initial capital, it can yield massive profits quickly.
Bonus Method: Decanting Potions
This bonus method involves buying lower-dosed potions and decanting them into four-dose potions.
Process
Step 1: Monitor potion prices and trends.
Step 2: Buy lower-dosed potions from the Grand Exchange.
Step 3: Decant them into four-dose potions using the decanter at the Grand Exchange.
Example
Super Restore 1-dose potions: Profit of 28,700 gold
Bastion 2-dose potions: Profit of 1,506,000 gold
This method requires patience and initial investment but can yield significant profits over time.
Conclusion
These money-making methods are all solid options for low to mid-level players in OSRS. Whether you prefer AFK methods like fletching gems or more active ones like generating impling jars, there’s something here for everyone. Remember to always check the current market margins before committing to any method to ensure profitability.
