Finding it hard to farm gold on Runescape? Grinding can be such a pain on Runescape but it is something that one cannot run away from if you are keen to advance through the game. Hence we are here to help you find the best way to get RuneScape gold to bring your game to the next level. Join us as we walk through the best 10 options.
1. Harvest Yew Logs
While we know that cutting any kind of tree will yield either experience or a resource, you will soon realise that many gold farming guides tend to focus on yew logs. The reason? This resource is highly valued for Fletching and Firemaking hence you are always able to earn a consistent price for them at the auction house. To optimise your yield within the shortest time possible, you should carry a Rune or Dragon Axe and command at least 75 woodcutting skill.
2. Repeat Farm And Bird House
They may be irritating but these repeatable activities can allow you to substantially farm what your needs. Depending on your desired skills and the product in season, you can easily switch out to include Hunting, Herblore, or Farming. Integrating bird house into your activities can be rewarding but you need to go through the initial trouble of setting it up. Do note that you will need to be Hunters of at least level 5 with at least level 5 Crafting skill to build and bait birdhouses.
3. Slay Blue Dragons
Just up your Slaying skill? Time to go dragon hunting. Your combat skills should be at 70 for ranged damage, 80 for melee fighters, 37 for magic users, and a 70 Agility level for everyone. These blue dragons drop hide and bones at a high rate and you get to also yielding other loot with plenty of experience points.
4. Collect Unicorn Horns
Although unicorn horns do not offer quality experience points, you can make some money by selling their horns on the grand exchange. Unicorn dust is used in both low and high-level anti poisons, which are important items in Herblore, so you can make a tidy profit selling it. The activity has a low entry barrier as it requires no skill or special equipment, only a regular mortar and pestle.
5. Fish For Sharks
Time to go fishing and make some decent gold with your membership. Sharks are priced for a number of uses in the game. They are used as an ingredient for potions that restore health and are a high-level food, both of which are essential to players exploring dangerous parts of the game. You will require a harpoon and a fishing skill of 76, a Cooking skill level of 80 and stand to earn XP for both.
6. Tanning Cowhide
Leather is highly demanded yet available early in the game, making it a popular gold-farming choice for beginners. Cows are an easy target and offer a high drop rate for cowhide. The best part? They also respawn fast so repeating the process is easy and efficient.
Grinding your Magic level up to 83 and learning the Make Leather spell to save a few coins. Either hard or soft leather can be made as both are lucrative, although soft leather tends to be worth more.
7. Run Rune
You can provide a service to players who are too busy or far too wealthy to do menial tasks such as collecting runes. The main reason for the high price is that farming rune or pure essence often requires you to travel far to a high level and often dangerous zone. Visit the “Runes and Ammo” section of the RuneScape forums to seek players that are willing to pay for your time and trouble.
8. Mine Gold
Gold ore is in demand at Gielinor for making jewellery and for training in the Smithing skill. Hence you can sell to aspiring players looking to grind their level up or use it yourself to generate bobbles for profit. To leverage on this, you will require level 40 Mining and Crafting and the best place to find ore are in either dangerous areas or locations limited to Membership accounts. Completing optional quests will grant you access to mines.
9. Farm Herbs
Herbs are connected to the Herblore skill. This skill is critical for higher-level characters and related quests and activities. Herbs need to be cleaned before they can be used to make potions. This makes it a handy way to grind up your own skill level up and at the same time produce a good material to generate gold.
Herbs farming is considered a form of high art and there are several easy options you can explore using crop rotation, super composting, and herb tables. That is of course provided you have a Farming skill high enough to buy OSRS gold and plant seeds.
10. Kill Gargoyles
If you have invested a substantial amount of time grinding your Slaying skill, you should go straight for gargoyles because you can count on them to drop good stuff like Granite Maul. However, they are only found in areas accessible to Members hence it may not be that accessible for free-to-play accounts. If you have what it takes, pick up your special rock hammer and with your Slaying skill is at a minimum of 75, go get busy for gold!
