Whether you're saving up for a Bond or grinding toward a Twisted Bow, knowing the best money-making methods in OSRS can save you hundreds of hours. In this comprehensive guide, we rank the top 10 methods by profit per hour, skill requirements, and risk level.
## 1. Vorkath (3M-4M gp/hr)
Vorkath remains one of the most consistent money-makers. With elite void, a Dragon Hunter Crossbow, and decent mechanics, you can expect 3-4M gp per hour. The unique drops including the skeletal visage add RNG-based jackpots.
## 2. Phosani's Nightmare (4M-6M gp/hr)
The solo version of Nightmare offers incredible profit. Requires 90+ combat stats and practice. The Inquisitor's armour pieces and Orbs are worth hundreds of millions.
## 3. Nex (3M-8M gp/hr split)
Nex is the hardest God Wars Dungeon boss but drops Torva armour pieces worth 500M+. Teams of 4-8 players can achieve massive splits.
## 4. Tombs of Amascut Expert Mode (3M-5M gp/hr)
With invocation levels 300+, TOA provides consistent purple loot. The LightBearer token and Fang are common high-value drops.
## 5. Herb Runs (600K-1M gp/hr)
Passive money at its finest. Ranarr, Snapdragon, and Toadflax runs take 5 minutes and net 100K+ per run with Ultracompost and Magic Secateurs.
## 6. Zulrah (2.5M-3.5M gp/hr)
The serpentine queen remains a staple. Unique drops including the Toxic Blowpipe, Serpentine Helm, and Magic Fang keep profits high.
## 7. Chambers of Xeric (2M-5M gp/hr split)
Raid-exclusive items like the Twisted Bow, Kodai Wand, and Elder Maul make CoX a fan-favourite moneymaker. Solo raids offer the biggest potential splits.
## 8. Blast Furnace (Smithing) (600K-800K gp/hr)
With the coal bag and Ice Gloves, smithing rune bars at Blast Furnace is an excellent low-requirement method.
## 9. Runecrafting via Blood/Soul Runes (500K-700K gp/hr)
Level 77 Runecrafting unlocks blood runes. At level 90, soul runes. Both offer respectable profit with minimal attention.
## 10. Bird House Runs (200K-400K gp/hr passive)
Like herb runs but for Hunter. Bird houses on Fossil Island take 2 minutes every 50 minutes. Great for ironman accounts too.
