Stronghold of Player Safety
Players over level 5 can easily do the Stronghold of Player Safety between Barbarian Village and Edgeville in the Misthalin Training Centre of Excellence, As almost all of the monsters on the route to the 10k are all non-aggressive. Upon the completion of the miniquest, players are rewarded with two skill lamps (each lamp is worth 500xp and can be applied to any skill regardless of level), 10,000 coins, Safety gloves and the Safety first emote.

It is tricky to navigate through the Stronghold of Player Safety, but the rewards are great. The high level monsters drop large numbers of runes for players who choose to train on them. (For members, they mainly drop charms, seeds, and herbs.) No food is needed, but a high enough % of run is recommended.

Stronghold of Security
If players are brave enough, they can attempt the Stronghold of Security in Barbarian Village. Food is recommended for players at all levels and even more for low-level players. (Note: For players with 10-15 hitpoints, trouts or higher are recommended). After players have had their account recovery questions set and proceed through all four levels in the Stronghold, they will be awarded 10,000 coins and either: the Fancy boots or the Fighting boots.

The monsters in this dungeon get stronger as players descend from level to level, and are aggressive beginning with the second level. There are some "safe" spots on all levels where players can wait to recover their run energy and eat to restore their hitpoints before they proceed further. NOTE: When player pass through a gate/door the monster attacking player can hit the second player pass through the gate/door.

Silk merchanting
Silk merchanting can be very slow: 4-5 pieces of silk is acquired per minute (3 if the player bargains) plus about 45 seconds each way running between Lumbridge and Al Kharid. The player will spend about 8 minutes to earn 126 coins (after the Al Kharid tolls and initial investment), far below the average income for other methods. (Even members taking advantage of the East Ardougne Silk Merchant will find that this method earns less than 300 coins per minute of work.) It is, therefore, only suitable for beginner players with no other options.

With 101 coins (74 if players are bargaining), they should travel on the road east from Lumbridge, cross the bridge, and go through the toll gate (paying a toll of 10 coins). The road should be followed as it turns south into Al Kharid. A Silk Trader is just east of the first building. Silk can be bought from him at 3 coins per piece (or 2 if a player bargains). The silk can then be sold at the Grand Exchange for 37 coins, at any general store, or to the Silk Merchant in East Ardougne (for members).

If the general store currently has no silk, a pack of 27 pieces of silk sold at once will fetch 227 coins. Al Kharid has a bank, so players can bank their purchases and return for more. However, it should be noted that it takes the general store about a half-hour to clear its stock, so it is advised to do some fishing or mining between trips to the store. Three to four trips will net a beginner enough coins for buying a full set of Iron armour.

Food collecting
Potatoes
Collecting food materials can be quite profitable for beginners. Potatoes, in particular, can be found in several places on both member and free-to-play worlds. The current price of potatoes are 76 coins each, and are in strong demand due to several member food items that can be prepared with them, as well as for stews in F2P cooking. The fastest location (in F2P worlds) is within the potato farm just to the east of Draynor Village. The potatoes can be brought to the bank in Draynor Village.

Cheese
With a little bit of cash, a player can also travel to Port Sarim and buy Cheese for 8 coins each at Wydin's Food Store and in turn sell them on the Grand Exchange for 20 coins each, making a modest profit from just a few coins. The player can buy large quantities quickly from the grocer, so the main drawback is having to run back and forth from Port Sarim to the bank in Draynor Village. The player can make about 5-8 trips per hour, assuming that the player leave all of the playerâ€™s equipment in the bank and only bring coins to purchase the cheese. If the player brings precisely 224 coins on each trip, the player can purchase a full 28 slices of cheese, maximizing the player profit.

Potatoes (members)
Members can earn money even faster by bringing empty sacks to the potato fields and harvesting the potatoes and filling them while in the field, then selling the sacks of potatoes. Sacks of potatoes are fixed at 10 times the price of individual potatoes (by Jagex), but are used as a payment option in farming and a few other areas in member areas.

It is possible to collect some potato seeds in this fashion if players want to start farming for the first time (for free), as about 1 in 10 potatoes that a player harvests on member servers will provide a seed. The seeds are "stackable", therefore it is unnecessary to keep running to the bank as often, if a player collects several potato seeds. Bringing 24 empty sacks (purchased on the Grand Exchange, or from Farming stores) while harvesting will allow a player to fill and sell the sacks for 18,240 coins with about an hour's worth of work and requires no skills of any kind, including farming.

Dyes
Harvesting onions and redberries can give some modest profit as well, but by far and way more profitable is to make dyes from these items. For only 5 coins (even on F2P worlds), the player can trade 2 onions for yellow dyes, or 3 redberries for red dyes. These can in turn be sold on the Grand Exchange for 106 coins each for yellow dye, or 106 coins for red dye. These would have sold for more, but Jagex has imposed a price ceiling on dyes of all colors, where demand has far outstripped supply.

Making money via skills

Agility (members)

Level requirement:
Level 30

Golden pyramid from the agility pyramid in the desert. The man at the entrance to the area will hand 1000 coins for each golden pyramid brought to him.

Level requirement
Level 50

Get 800 tickets in Brimhaven Agility Arena and Exchange for a Pirate's hook, which sells for about 1,215,000 coins. However, getting 800 tickets can take a very long time, which doesn't make this a very efficient strategy.

Level requirement
Level 67

Defeat Salarin the Twisted in the Yanille agility dungeon.

Crafting

Level requirement
Level 10(members)

Players can pick flax from places such as Seers' Village or Lletya, and spin the collected flax into bow strings, which sell for 179 coins each. Some good places to spin them would be in Lumbridge Castle or Neitiznot, as a bank isn't too far away there. There is also a spinning wheel on the second floor of a house in Seers' Village which some players use to spin their flax on the way to the bank. Players can also buy the flax from other players which is quicker, though a smaller profit is made.

Construction (members)

Level requirement
Level 40

Make Varrock teleport tablets. They are worth around 950 coins each, but can sell for more if people are desperate.

Level requirement
Level 47

Make Lumbridge Teleport teleport tablets. These are worth around 918 coins each, but can sell for slightly more to people who kill the Kalphite Queen

Level requirement
Level 47

Make Falador teleport tablets. They are worth around 888 coins each.

Level requirement
Level 57

Make Camelot teleport tablets. They are worth around 838 coins each, but can sell for up to 5000 coins each if people are desperate.

Level requirement
Level 57

Level requirement
Level 67

Make Watchtower teleport tablets. They are worth around 915 coins each.

Level requirement
Level 67

Make House teleport tablets. They are worth around 962 coins each. These are the most sought after teleport tablets due to the uses of a house, e.g. Safe Deaths, Other Portals & Barrows Repair.

Level requirement
Level 67

Make Bones to Peaches tablets. They are worth around 1,287 coins each. These are usually bought in bulk by players with a high combat level, so they can train without unlocking the spell themselves or using Guthan's armour.

Farming(members)'

Level requirement
Level 2

Plant and sell Marigolds, which sell for around 3,823 coins each.

Level requirement
Level 32

Buy ranarr seeds at about 23,696 coins each. Around 6-10 grimy ranarr herbs can be obtained per seed if they are planted with Supercompost and harvested with Magic secateurs, and the herbs sell for 6,676 coins each.

Level requirement
Level 36

Buy Spirit weed seeds for 152 coins each. Plant using super compost and sell the grimy/clean Spirit weeds for 1,745 coins each.

Level requirement
Level 62

Buy snapdragon seeds at about 31,300. Around 6-10 grimy snapdragon herbs can be obtained per seed if they are planted with Supercompost and harvested with Magic secateurs. The herbs can then be sold for 8,360 coins each.

Firemaking

Level requirement
Level 5

Players should try the Shades of Mort'ton minigame. While cremating shades a key may appear, which can be used to get access to many valuable items, including fine cloth, used in making splitbark armour, which sells for 700-1000 coins. Players with higher level firemaking can make better profit from this as the higher level shades and pyre logs yield better rewards. Fiyr shades yield rune armour and weapons as well as occasional Level 3 Clue scrolls.

Level requirement
Level 40

Kill Vyrewatch and cremate their corpses. They can only be cremated with Teak pyre logs or higher. Cremating Vyre corpses gives players a Columbarium key, which can be used to get access to many valuable items in the Columbarium, including rune armour, snapdragon seeds and more.

Fishing

Level requirement
Level 20

Players can sell trout. Trout sell for about 32 coins each if raw, and around 31 coins when cooked. The places closest to a bank are Barbarian Village, Shilo Village (members) and fishing from the river Lum near Lumbridge.

Level requirement
Level 30

Raw salmon can sell for about 72 coins each, whilst cooked salmon can sell for 40 coins each. The places closest to a bank from which to fish salmon are Barbarian Village and Shilo Village (members).

Level requirement
Level 40

Fishing lobsters is a very popular way to make money. The spots at Karamja and Catherby (members) are two of the most popular spots. Raw lobsters sell for around 339 coins each, and cooked lobsters sell for about 236 coins each.

Level requirement
Level 50

Raw swordfish can sell for about 484 coins each, and cooked swordfish sells for around 396 coins each. Swordfish are caught with a harpoon from the same spots as lobsters. However, players that fish for swordfish may also catch tuna, which are worth far less and caught more often than swordfish. One way to deal with this is simply endure it and store any caught tuna in the bank; players can also drop the tuna as they are caught, or sell the tuna to a nearby fishing shop or general store.

Level requirement
Level 62(members)

At the Piscatoris Fishing Colony, one can catch monkfish, which tend to be faster than sharks, even at high levels, and sell for around 445 coins each when raw, and about 346 coins when cooked. (Swan Song must be completed to catch monkfish.)

Level requirement
Level 76(members)

At this level, players can fish Sharks. Sharks are caught fairly slowly even at high levels, so it is advisable not to fish them with a fishing level lower than about 80. Raw sharks can be sold for around 987 coins each, and cooked sharks can be sold for about 846 coins each.

Level requirement
Level 81+(members)

Players can attempt the Fishing Trawler minigame. If the boat manages to last for 10 minutes without sinking, teammates can get very valuable fish such as manta rays and/or sea turtles. Unlike other fish, cooked sea turtles and manta rays fetch higher prices then their raw counterparts. Cooked manta rays can sell for about 1,841 coins each while cooked sea turtles sell for about 1,233 coins.

Fletching(Members)

Level requirement
Level 70

Yew longbows are in constant demand by players training magic through the high alchemy spell. Yew longbows can be sold for about 586 coins each, or High Alchemy can be cast on them to get 768 coins each. If the player has 60+ woodcutting, 55+ magic, 10+ crafting, and 70+ fletching, the player can wood cut yew logs, make bowstrings, make the yew longbows, and cast high alchemy on them and get basically free xp in many skills and still make money.

Level requirement
Level 85

Magic longbows are also in fairly high demand for casting high alchemy on in order to train magic. Magic longbows can be sold for about 1,314 coins each, or High Alchemy can be cast on them to get 1536 coins each. If the player has 75+ woodcutting, 55+ magic, 10+ crafting, and 85+ fletching, the player can wood cut magic logs, make bowstrings, make the magic longbows, and cast high alchemy on them and get basically free xp in many skills and still make money.

Hunter (members)

Level requirement
Level 1

Track Polar kebbits at the polar hunting area. The furs sell for about 1,737 coins each. Using the fairy ring system can greatly reduce banking time, as there is a nearby fairy ring in the area and a bank in Zanaris.

Level requirement
Level 53

Box trap chinchompas at the woodland hunting area. They sell for around 396 coins each, and are also stackable, so players don't need to bank every now and then.

Level requirement
Level 55

Players can trap Sabre-toothed kyatts at the Trollweiss Hunter area. Their fur sells for about 6,092 coins each.

Level requirement
Level 63

Box trap red chinchompas, also called Carnivorous chinchompas, at the Feldip hunting area. They sell for about 800 gold each. It will be slow, but the rate will be faster when level 80 is reached. They are also stackable, meaning a player doesn't have to bank every now and then.

Level requirement
Level 83

Catch Dragon implings, at the Impetuous Impulses minigame or throughout RuneScape. They are exceedingly rare, even in Puro-Puro, but are also extremely valuable, with each impling being worth more than 450,000 coins.

Magic

Level requirement
Level 25-58+(members)

Teletabs can be made and sold for both magic experience and profit, provided one has access to a lectern. The different teletabs a player can make depends on their Magic level and the type of lectern being used. Assuming all materials are purchased (including runes and soft clay), each teletab gives the following profit: Varrock Teleport (398 coins), Lumbridge Teleport (360 coins) Falador Teleport (329 coins), Camelot Teleport (265 coins), Ardougne Teleport (293 coins), Watchtower Teleport (57 coins), and House Teleport (434 coins).

Level requirement
Level 33

Telegrab the Wine of Zamorak in the Chaos Temple near Goblin Village, which sells for 796 coins each

Level requirement
Level 56-66(members)

Charge Orb can be used to enchant unpowered orbs. Water, fire and earth orbs are less in demand and may take longer to sell. Air orbs generally sell very quickly or instantly. Each round trip to the air obelisk should take about 4 minutes, use 27 orbs and 84 cosmic runes, gain the player 2052 Magic xp, and profit the player around 10,000 or more coins if they purchased the runes and orbs without making them themselves. This method of money making is highly underutilized, most likely in part due to so many players being unaware of the ease of the process or the demand for the finished product.

Mining

Level requirement
Level 1

Beginning miners can mine copper ore or tin ore in the mine pit southeast of Lumbridge, then sell the ores on the Grand Exchange for around 76 (copper) or 29 (tin) coins each. It is advised to bank in Lumbridge before going to Varrock, because the roads to Varrock are hazardous for beginners.

Level requirement
Level 1

Non-members can mine rune essence and sell them for around 38 coins each.

Level requirement
Level 15

Players can mine Iron ore. It sells for around 102 coins each, and is very quick to mine. The mines south-west and south-east of Varrock as well as the Dwarven mines are popular for free players, whilst members can mine iron ore in the mine north of Yanille or the mine east of Ardougne, which are both closer to banks than the F2P mines.

Level requirement
Level 20

Mine silver ore at the Crafting Guild or Al-Kharid Mine and sell the ores for about 199 coins each. The mine southwest of Varrock are usually crowded, but it is close to a bank and the Grand Exchange.

Level requirement
Level 30 (Members)

Members can mine pure essence, which sell for around 153 coins each. They can also use pouches from the Abyss to help collect more essence per trip.

Level requirement
Level 40

Gold can be mined at the Arzinian Mine (members), northwest Karamja, Tzhaar City (members), inside the Karamja volcano, Al Kharid mining area, the Crafting Guild, or the Dwarven Mines. Gold can sell for around 497 coins each

Level requirement
Level 40 (Members)

Gems can be mined at the Gem rocks in and below Shilo Village, where players can get gems ranging from opal to diamonds. However, the higher leveled gems are rare to get.

Level requirement
Level 45 (Members)

Granite can be mined from the Quarry at level 45 mining. Granite (500g) can be sold for 1,468 coins each. An enchanted water tiara is recommended as it practically negates the problem of desert heat. Players can also use the camulet to provide a quicker, more efficient method of teleportation than the magic carpets.

Level requirement
Level 55

Mithril ore can be mined and sold for 184 coins each. This is very limited for non-members. The Mining guild contains 5 mithril rocks, and mining from mithril rocks in the Wilderness or Lumbridge Swamp is also possible. There are 2 mithril rocks at the Al Kharid mining area too. There is also mithril on Crandor, although the distance and the presence of aggressive monsters does not make it a convenient place to mine.

Level requirement
Level 60

Coal (mined at the Mining Guild) sells for around 194 coins each, and mines very quickly because the Guild is right next to the Falador East Bank.

Level requirement
Level 70

Mining adamantite ore in the Hobgoblin Mine (Level 34-37 Wilderness), the west Lumbridge Swamp mines, Crandor, or the Grand Tree mine (members) can make a profit of around 908 coins each. For members mining in the Hobgoblin Mine a forinthry bracelet, ring of life, and charged amulet of glory are suggested; however, the ring and amulet do not function past level 30 Wilderness.

Level requirement
Level 85

Mining runite ore in deep Wilderness (beware of revenants) or at the Heroes' Guild makes a profit of about 11,951 coins per ore. This can make up to 1 million coins per hour. However, since runite takes a long time to spawn (about 10-30 minutes depending on world population), world switching is recommended.

Runecrafting

Level requirement
Level 1(F2P)

Air runes can be made by either by the player themself, or through rune running... usually on world 16 where you can get a high level rune crafter to "assist" you in crafting multiple runes. Ordinary rune essence can be mined or bought for 38 coins and you can easily find somebody who can craft at least 6x (or better) the number of air runes as you have rune essence. This gives you a profit of 1456 coins each time you make a trip to the air altar.

Level requirement
Level 44(members)

Nature runes can be made easily through the Abyss. They can be sold for around 253 coins each, which is a profit of 100 coins each if one buys the Pure Essence instead of mining it.

Level requirement
Level 54(members)

Law rune's runes sell for roughly 330 coins in places such as the Grand Exchange, which is a profit of around 177 coins each, players desperate for a teleport have been known to buy a law rune for high prices, around 1k each, but this is not a common occurrence.

Level requirement
Level 65(members)

Death runes can be crafted via The Abyss (requires completion of Mourning's Ends Part II). They can be sold for about 300 coins each, which is a profit of 147 coins each if the player buys the Pure Essence instead of mining it.

Level requirement
Level 77(members)

Players can craft blood runes via The Abyss (requires completion of the Legacy of Seergaze quest). They can be sold for about 280 coins each, which is a profit of 127 coins each if the player buys the Pure Essence instead of mining it.

Level requirement
Level 91(members)

Crafting double Nature runes via The Abyss is widely considered to be one of the best money makers in the game, as making double runes more than doubles the net Runecrafting profits (proceeds of selling the runes minus the cost of pure essences). This can make a profit of 353 coins per essence used if the essence was bought instead of mined. Using all 4 pouches allows one to carry up to 54 essence and thus make 108 Nature runes per trip, which is a total of 19062 coins profit per trip. Under the right conditions, a player can make a million gold in just more than an hour.

Slayer

Level requirement
level 17+

Kill Cave Slime in Lumbridge Slayer Dungeon; as they 100% drop 1-6 swamp tar each, which sells for usually about 222 to 1332 coins worth per cave slime.

Level requirement
Level 52

Killing Jellies in Fremennik Slayer Dungeon are very good to train, drops such as Rune Full Helmet and Treasure Trails (level 3) can be obtained.

Level requirement
Level 58

Cave horrors, which are found in the Mos Le'Harmless Caves, have a chance at dropping Black masks, which are worth 553,600 coins each.

Level requirement
Level 75

Gargoyles can drop granite mauls, adamant boots, and black/red Mystic robe tops.

Level requirement
Level 80

Killing Nechryael can drop Rune boots and other Rune items as well as Dragon items.

Level requirement
Level 83

Spiritual Mages are known to drop Dragon boots, which are worth 322,100 coins each. However, they are only found in the God Wars Dungeon and their magic attacks can hit very hard, so equipment to protect from all 4 gods' minions as well as prayer potions for Protect from Magic are recommended.

Level requirement
Level 85

Killing Abyssal Demons for the Abyssal whips they drop can prove very profitable, where they are worth 1,621,052 coins each. However, it is a rare drop.

Level requirement
Level 90

If one has started Mournings End Part 2, killing Dark beasts can be a fair profit, as they have valuable drops such as the dark bow, which is worth 1,550,000 coins. Although, like the Abyssal whip, it is a rare drop.
