OSRS F2P Money Making Guide 2023 | Quick Guide

[@LensOSRS]

Edit: For the jewelry section specifically I had messed up some of the levels. Instead of stating which levels to start making a tier of jewelry (ruby, sapphire, emerald) I said to start making specifically unstrung amulets, but this is not actually available until level 50. What you want to do is start with the tier at the level I provided (24) making other items such as rings, and then work your way up to amulets at 50. If you go to the wiki for any given jewelry, it will provide a useful graph of the current profits between each jewelry piece. Hope this helps, and my mistake!

[@atavatav8141]

As a returning player that just started again on a new account, here is how I got a bond. Step 1: get the 10,000 GP from Strong hold. (Bank after every level to not die with the GP). Step 2: Do Witch’s potion and Imp Catcher for the Magic Exp (Kill Imps for the beads, sell extra beads for cash). Step 3: Collect 540 Cow Hides from Lumbridge, Tan them to Hard Leather in Alkarid (Costs 1,820 GP in total for gate and tanning), and sell Hard leather on GE for 160+ each (Hard not new account Restricted). Step 4: Buy 1 of each Elemental Staff. Buy Cosmic Runes for 80-100gp and Sapphire amulets for 600gp. Cast Level-1 Enchanting on them. Sell Amulets of Magic on GE for 750gp or more. Repeat this till Level 2 Enchanting and swap to Emerald Amulets for 800gp and Amulets of Defense for 950gp or more. You’ll make Around 150k a hour well training Magic. Step 5: Start High Alchemy once you get it and enjoy the second best GP per Hour for a F2P. Because of Davons Amulet Shop for Members, enchanted Amulets sell well to those buying from GE to Sell to Davon’s store. Sapphire and Emerald Amulets are Plentiful on GE (Ruby are to rare to do sadly, they better exp then emeralds). Got my bond with 3 days of play time total.

[@crazy_teacup]

I was thinking about grinding for a bond and even though I'm not close at all a thought crossed my mind. Since the bond only lasts 14 days what's the best time to buy a bond so you are in a position where you can grind more efficiently for the next one before the first runs out ?

[@atavatav8141]

@@crazy_teacupwhen I bought the bond as a F2P they were going for 7 million, they around 11 million now. I’ve been maintaining my bonds by afk smithing cannon balls with double ammo mould well at work. Cannon Balls are 280k per hour and I can do 4-6 hours afk at work. If you are active player, gnome restaurant is a good 1 to 1.5 million a hour once you get good at it.

[@rhydianbanner3590]

If you're looking for starting capital may I recommend buying thread and needles from the crafting shops in al karid or rimmington. Buy 100 thread for about 140gp total, sell for 1100-1400. It's not fun, and it can be crowded, but if you need that first 100k it's easy and no requirements except tiny starting capital

A couple weeks ago i had been grinding flesh crawlers in the stronghold of security. Kept a chisel on me, feathers, and fly fishing rod. Afk in a room and pick up scepters, break them into fragments(500 each, 3 pieces = 1500) which makes them stackable. When i lost agro just ran to the next room opposite of the map and repeat. And then go to the river outside to fish and cook and back to afk grind

[@Meninx87]

dude that's a precious tip! I'm currently exping for range with flesh crawlers and that's gonna help a lot with earning the money for the arrows! thank you!

[@slips4990]

got lucky last night i guess, was messing around with balls of wool trying to get my crafting up to do jewellry, when i noticed that balls of wool were selling for around 1,500 lol. crafted over 500 balls after that and sold it all for my first million gp

[@LensOSRS]

Awesome to hear bro!

[@flowflips3172]

That's some wild luck bro 1500 for wool some baller out there wasting money

[@yellowflash5555]

Heres an okay tip, I started off by taking the 4 free logs in lumbridge bank, world hop and continue the process. I jumped to 4/5 of the same worlds by the time i got the 4th one the 1st world has logs alresdy spawned back in. I also wanted my fire making up so once i had 500 logs i make fires and id sell the ash from the logs. Just to get a chunk of money real quick to buy some basic things

[@lukeloxley8788]

Logs are basically same price as ashes

[@deviouschimp4663]

How I made 5M as a new player: 1. Stronghold of Security for starting capital. 2. Buying and selling thread & needles from Rimmington. Very boring, but do this for a few days and can make 1M easily. Do as long as your mental can handle... 3. Farm hill giants. This will allow you to fight Obor for drops and hopefully club for 500k. I got lucky. 4. Farm moss giants. Same as hill giants, but better returns especially if you get boss drop. I have yet to get boss drop. 5. Last and most important... play on 301. Here you can meet generous friends, encounter random items, and participate in very profitable sales. I'm not saying you will get rich, but I notice random blessings can happen haha. But for the love of god don't beg... just play the game and socialize. I have the most fun on 301 cracking jokes and meeting interesting people.

The 50 is for the diamond variant

[@azzukargrobanni3187]

Def is not go look at crafting

[@LensOSRS]

I see now, 34 crafting is to start with Ruby jewelry, I should have explained this better. Do the same process but instead of using an amulet mould bring a ring mould. Each ring you make will only be about 8gp less than the amulets so you are still making a good profit

[@spicerishere2585]

Why have they made bonds so dear i remember when they was 3.5mil

[@brunoobeear]

Simple supply and demand. The demand is high and the supply is low. Or atleast it seems low, it could be players are just drip feeding the bonds to the market to inflate the price.

[@Zain_Passing_By]

Gold farmers made inflation?

[@brunoobeear]

@@Zain_Passing_By if there is less of something and people want it, the price will go up. And so no, unless it’s gold farms buying bonds in mass I don’t think it’s them. online it’s like 16p per million gp that doesn’t seem like inflation to me. Thats depreciation since, before it used to be 21p to 25p per million gp.

[@kbd2065]

bro. you need 24 crafting for sapphire amulet u, I literally bought like 500k worth of supplies and i cant even use them. please get your information right next time :p

[@LensOSRS]

Your supplies aren’t wasted. Buy a ring mould off the G.E and make sapphire rings. It’s the same profit and requires level 20. I mistakenly stated it’s 20 for the amulets when it’s actually 20 for the lowest sapphire tier you can make. Apologies for the Inconvenience hope this helps

[@Decepticant]

I'm doing a f2p Ironman after not playing at all in over 10 years. The goal of the account is to earn enough to buy a bond.

[@LensOSRS]

How are you going to buy it with gp if you’re an iron man

[@Decepticant]

@@LensOSRS The goal is to earn enough to afford a bond and convert to a regular account. If that's not possible I'll just buy the bond myself and use the gp to kit myself out. I have another account I just started as a pure Hardcore Ironman. I haven't played since OSRS first came out so I'm unfamiliar with how some of the new systems and mobs work.

[@SaveTheSunF1R3x]

be careful with the crafting one. i recently had one of my freinds start playing again after a 10 year hiatus. he created a new character on his old account and wasn't able to do a whole lot else besides crafting due to the trade restriction. dude grinded out like 4 mil over the course of a week and got permabanned for macro major. tried to appeal and jagex said they were confident in his ban because he was using 3rd party tools. he's literally only playing on mobile lmao. so this is just a PSA to anyone that tries money making on a new account in those areas you will be swept up in ban waves regardless if your'e a bot and jagex wont give a crap.

[@andrzejwysocki609]

my account that beat all the f2p content got a ban for 'macroing' either someone hacked my account to bot or i just got randomly banned, AFTER i stopped playing, wtf is this?

[@thedealer799]

My f2p account that I had just grinded and bought a bond on was also banned for Macroing. All my clicks lol.

[@flowflips3172]

​@andrzejwysocki609 you can appeal it and not loose anything a guy appeal it two times from 2 different bans and got it. It resulted that indeed somebody hijacked it while he was taking a break and was using it to macro and wire money. He found money he never made in the account and like lvl 70 magic he never had. Jagex helps around you should give it a shot.

Most profitable while earning exp are cooking lobsters and making ruby/diamond necklaces. Extra proffit if u high alch them. You can also get 900gp per alch with rune items. Without earning exp but requires alots of cash is flipping. i flip high volume items over night. Often sell them for 3x more cash. Last time sold raw chickens for 6x the buy price. Already have a bond sitting in bank because i dont want to become a member yet and extra 15m.

alg bro. its pretty easy to get the levels. no hard feeling's@@LensOSRS

[@Discomfort3d]

All of these methods are weird and eliminates skilling feeling rewarding and the potential drop table that could be rewarding by killing any monster making those dropped valuables worth something when training and grinding increasing the value by worth of gp. The sad part is many skills aren't rewarding and even achieving 60 woodcutting for yews is the most profitable but it's still worth close to nothing so the GE community driven economy doesn't make sense because the way cash flows should be up to the company because making money is so hard you have to scrape for these methods.

[@flowflips3172]

Nah it makes total sense this game mimicks and live economy. I wouldn't say mimicking sorry it is an economy. The only reason this works is because of demand and supply. Skilling does make profit just that these methods are less skill intensive. If you know the basic of economics, flipping ect you could take advantage of it with skilling. This video isn't much about skilling but getting the cash fast to get the first bond ppl usually wants to get a bond the earliest they can.
