Best Ways for Beginners to Earn OSRS Gold

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.
