Your level:
Early on, skilling money is steady and safe. Combat money grows fast once you have a few key items. Buying supplies is often faster than gathering them yourself — your time is worth money.
Prices change. Check the Grand Exchange before you commit to a method.
🟢 Beginner
From zero
- Collecting: cowhides from cows, feathers from chickens
- Tanning hides in Al Kharid: buy cowhides, tan them, sell the leather
- Picking flax and spinning bowstrings (Crafting 10)
- Hill giants (combat around 40): big bones and limpwurt roots
🟡 Intermediate
A few levels in
- Wine of Zamorak with Telekinetic Grab (Magic 33)
- Blast Furnace once your Smithing allows — profitable XP
- Slayer from mid-levels: aberrant spectres, gargoyles and nechryael pay well
- Barrows: rune items, and a chance at armour pieces
🔴 Advanced
Bossing
- Vorkath after Dragon Slayer II: steady, predictable profit
- Zulrah and the Gauntlet once your gear and mechanics are there
- Raids (ToA, CoX) for the biggest items
- Put profit into items that raise your earning speed first
