3 tips to earn old school Runescape gold

Money makes the world go round, and for Gielinor, it’s OSRS gold. It’s true, you wouldn’t go far in Old School Runescape without much of the stuff. So to help you acquire your fair share of this crucial currency, here are a few tips you should follow.

Mine and Mine Alone

In real life, gold is mined in, well, gold mines. In Gielinor, while you can make gold through mining, you won’t be able to directly make one through the skill. Rather, you have to sell what you obtain from skilling mining in order to make gold.

To earn gold out of mining, have it reach level 15 by mining Copper and Tin. Afterwards,you can mine Iron Ore, which you can then sell for up to 100,000 gold—depending on how efficient you are. To obtain as much ore as possible within an hour, there’s the Monastery Minefor members, and the East and West Varrock mines for non-members. Also, use the best pickaxe available to your level. Doing so will allow you to mine even faster.

If you’re skilling at the Monastery Mine, get the Ardougne Cloak from the Ardougne Achievement Diariesso that you can teleport repeatedly to the Monastery. Once your inventory is full, just go to the nearby Ardougne bank. On the other hand, if you’re at theVarrock mines, it’s recommended that you first complete the Varrock easy tasks, as this will grant you a 10% chance of mining 2 Iron Ore at once. This, however, only works in Varrock.

Down the Line

On the other hand, if you’re not feeling like digging in mines all day, you might prefer fishing. Being by the water, waiting until some living thing bites your line is just oh, so relaxing. Do note, however, that out of all the catches you can have, you can only make gold out of lobsters and swordfish. It’s definitely not a quick way to earn gold, but if you don’t like the others because they’re too grind-y and dull, then stick to fishing. There’s really no way of making gold in as laid back a manner as this.

There are lots of fishing spots across Gielinor, but the best ones are those close to banks. Some of the best examples are those in Caterbyand the Fishing Guild. Once you’ve caught the number of fishes you want to sell, you can either sell them as they are or cook them first. Doing the latter will fetch you more Old School Runescape gold.

Art of the Deal

Last but definitely not least, if you have the wits and confidence for it, you can do some player-to-player buying and selling. There’s no Runescape skill that can aid you in this particular endeavor, but a personal ability that requires much thinking, planning, and math. Be it in real life, Runescape, and other games of the same genre, it’s all about buying or gathering cheap yet sought-after items and then either selling (or reselling) them at a profitable price or creating in-demand items that are worth more than the raw materials.

Because it’s not something that the in-game system will assist you with, it can be quite tricky, as a lot of factors come into play. If you’ve played other MMOs, you may already know this. If not, welcome to the world of online game trading. It can be quite tough. Nevertheless, it’s also one of the best ways to make OSRS gold. So be ready as it can stretch your patience. Put your thinking cap on as you’ll need thorough analysis, calculations, and research. Otherwise, it’s all trial-and-error. It will all be worth it; trust us.

Those are just a few ways to earn OSRS gold. As for the other methods to get rich, you’ll have to discover them by yourself. It’ll take much time and a ton of grinding, but you definitely will.
