One of the key
features of Old School Runescape is how you can make OSRS Gold. To do this,
there are many methods for you to choose from. Whilst there are some higher-level ways of turning a hefty profit, today we will be looking at some of the
best ways to farm for gold for beginners.
The methods on this
list will vary in how much Old School RS gold they will net you, but what's
more important is that they are ways of farming gold with low-level
requirements. This effectively means that you can gain access to them rather
easily, though they can still pull in a decent profit. They may be more
straightforward ways of farming OSRS gold, yet they will be easy for you to use
from earlier stages than later methods.
1. Emerald Necklace
Enchants - Level 2
This is a pretty self-explanatory method, to be honest. You will be required to purchase Emerald
Necklaces form the Grand Exchange, before enchanting them and selling them on. However,
to do this you will need to have level 27 Magic, level 2 Enchant Spell, as well
as Air Runes and Cosmic Runes.
Once you are ready,
you will want to check what the difference is between an Emerald Necklace and a
Binging Necklace. After you have done this, you will get a better idea of just
how much profit you can make. Thankfully, the necklaces that are required don't
cost much to make, so you can make a large amount whilst gaining experience at
the same time.
The margin ranges
usually between 200 and 400, meaning that by making 1000 an hour you could net
yourself 200,000 - 400,000 OSRS Gold per hour. That depends on if you can
enchant this many within that time, and also what the margin is at the Grand
Exchange.
2. Ultracompost
Ultracompost is the
most valuable form of compost in OSRS, so naturally, it can turn a profit if
used correctly. To do so, you are going to want to have unlocked Fossil Island,
and have Level 22 Mining to get the best out of this method.
The requirements above
should take you to Fossil Island, where you can mine Volcanic Ash. Once you
have done so, you can then combine it with Supercompost, which can be bought
from the Grand Exchange. By combining the two, you will then get Ultracompost.
This can then be sold on the GE for profit, or you could simply purchase
Volcanic Ash without having to go to Fossil Island. This way however will cost
you more, though it will save you time from mining.
How much profit you
make is decided on which way of selling gold Ultracompost you choose. If you have
the Runescape gold to spend, then you could save a lot of time by simply buying
the items at the GE, which will earn you 132 OSRS Gold for each Ultracompost
sold. However, if you choose to farm the Volcanic Ash, you could earn double
this amount. This could bring in profits of anywhere to 250,000 - 500,000 RS Gold
per hour.
3. Elemental Staves
To take advantage of
Elemental Staves, you will want to look into price comparisons of the available
staff. Because there is a variety of prices, you can use this to make a
profit. Before doing so, it strongly recommended that you have a Teleportation
Ring to speed up the process. You will also be required to be at Construction
Level 42.
First off, you will
want to build a house. Then, head out and purchase the cheapest staves before
heading back to your home. In your house, you will then want to build a Crystal
Ball, and convert your stacked staves that you bought earlier. You can then
sell these at the GE, though there are a few variables in terms of how much
profit you will actually make.
This ultimately
depends on the price difference between the staves. Depending on your travel
situation, and the price differences at the Grand Exchange, you can earn
anywhere from 375,000 to 700,000 RS3 Gold per hour.
4. Javelins
The practice of using
Javelins to earn Runescape gold differs slightly from the other methods. Here,
you will want to find a certain NPC to give you a better price on them.
Firstly, you will want to head to the Grand Exchange. Here, you should purchase
plenty of Adamant and Rune Javelins. From here, head over to the Void Knight's
Outpost.
Once you have
arrived, go to the Void Knights Squire NPC, and sell up to 100 Javelins to
them. You are going to want to change worlds after this and repeat since the
buying OSRS price does eventually decrease. The profit is decided on how many
Javelins are for sale at the GE, and how fast you can sell them. Typically per
hour, you should be looking to make 400,000 - 1,000,000 Old School RS Gold.
5. Death Runes
Purchasing Death
Runes from the Mage of Zamorak is the highest profitable method of farming OSRS
gold with low-level requirements. You are going to need some gold upfront, however, though the more you have the more profit you are looking to make. The
Abyss OSRS quest will also need to have been finished before you try this. Heading to
the Mage isn't without its dangers either, so be sure to stack up on health
items before you do so.
Head over to the
Mage, who can be found at the Altar of Zamrok, and the Souther Wilderness
mining site. You should then purchase Death Runes from the Mage, then head back
to the GE to sell them. Like with the previous method, changing worlds and
repeating the process will bag you a lot more profit, though keep in mind you
will need to make sure that you have enough OldSchool Runescape gold to do so.
You can buy up to 250
of the Death Runes, which are priced at 195 gold. These then sell on the GE for
220 gold. If you purchase 250 Runes on 100 worlds, this will increase to 625
gold. This depends on the GE price of gold, which is sometimes all the way up
to 275 gold in a single world. If that's the case, then you could make up to
2,000,000 gold per hour, assuming that is where the price of Death Runes is at.
These five methods
are a great way for beginners to farm or buy OSRS Gold. There are more profitable
measures that have higher level requirements, but for the time being you can
use these five ways to net yourself a lot of profit from a relatively early
stage.
