Money is essential in Old School RuneScape (OSRS) for everything from training skills to purchasing powerful combat gear. The game offers a variety of money-making methods catering to different skill levels. While early-game players focus on building their initial funds, mid-level players can leverage their improved skills and quest progress to earn significantly more gold. This guide will detail the best mid-level money-making methods in OSRS.

Non-Combat Methods

Making Sacred Oil

Requirements:

20+ Crafting (higher levels improve efficiency)

81+ Combat (shades will not be aggressive)

Process:

Use World 377 for the active Shades of Mort’ton minigame.

Bring Flamtaer items, Morytania legs 3, and olive oil.

Repair the temple to gain sanctity (minimum 10%) and convert olive oil into sacred oil at the fire altar.

Bank your oil using Morytania legs teleport and repeat.

This method can generate 943K gold per hour, but sacred oil trades slowly, so patience is necessary.

Casting Tan Leathe

Requirements:

Completion of "Lunar Diplomacy" and the Hard Fremennik Diary.

78 Magic.

Items Needed:

20M+ gold.

Astral and Nature runes with a fire staff (or alternatives).

Red dragonhides (most profitable; prices vary).

Process:

Use the “Tan Leather” spell to tan hides in bulk. This method yields 1.5M gold per hour alongside 129K Magic XP.

Making Dwarf Weed Potion

Requirements:

72 Herblore.

Process:

Acquire vials of water and clean dwarf weed.

Combine 14 of each in your inventory to make unfinished potions.

This simple method can earn 1M gold per hour due to the high demand for these potions among Herblore trainers.

Making Raw Wild Pies

Requirements:

Access to the “Bake Pie” spell.

Items Needed:

Pie shells, raw bear meat, raw chompy, and raw rabbit

Process:

Assemble the pies step-by-step: combine ingredients in order—bear meat, chompy, then rabbit.

Use the “Bake Pie” spell to cook them.

This method can produce around 1M gold per hour, with the added benefit of Cooking and Magic experience.

Crafting Toy Cats

Requirements:

85 Crafting and 50 Construction.

Crafting Table 4 and Demon Butler in your house.

Items Needed:

Clockwork, planks, and 60K gold for butler services.

Process:

Craft toy cats using your crafting table, with your butler restocking supplies. This niche method can yield 1.2M gold per hour, but selling the items may take time.

Combat Methods

Lizardman Shamans

Requirements:

Full Shayzien 5 set.

74+ Prayer, 75+ Ranged, and the Dwarf Cannon quest completed.

Items Needed:

Toxic blowpipe, amethyst darts, divine ranging potions, antidote++, and prayer potions.

Process:

Kill Lizardman Shamans in the canyon with the help of a cannon. This method provides 1.1M gold per hour, factoring in the Dragon Warhammer drop. Without the hammer, profits are about half.

Killing Dagannoth Rex

Requirements:

50+ Magic for Iban blast or 78+ for the Trident of the Swamp.

43+ Prayer and 40+ Defence (70+ recommended).

Completion of “The Fremennik Trials.”

Items Needed:

Slayer helmet (i) if on task, antidote++, food, and high-level alchemy or blood barrage runes.

Process:

Safe-spot Rex using tank armor and magic-boosting jewelry.

Kill him with Magic while avoiding other Dagannoth Kings.

This method can yield 1M gold per hour, depending on your efficiency and the value of drops like the Berserker Ring.
