Seeing as you're reading this guide, I'm guessing that you've experienced most of what the game has to offer in its F2P state, and you probably have very little money in your bank, or maybe a couple hundred-thousand or so.

The first real money-maker you'll encounter is leather-tanning; this method of making money is quite reliable, all you have to do is buy a bunch of cowhide from the GE (in Varrock, the city north of Lumbridge) go to Al Kharid (the place east of Lumbridge, which you have to pay 10gp to enter if you haven't completed the 'Prince Ali Rescue' mission) and then withdraw some cowhide and coins from your bank (3 coins per cowhide), next, you will go to the tanner (icon of the shirt north of the furnace icon) and pay him to tan your cowhide.

Doing this, you can earn roughly 150,000 GP an hour.

Tanning leather is the only efficient no-requirement money-maker, which can consistently earn you big $$$$$$$, but if you're really looking to get money fast, you'll have to move into the territory of the dreaded, 'Wilderness'; the next method that I'm going to mention is telegrabing nature runes in the Wilderness.

For this you'll need 33 magic (you can cast bolt spells on Hill Giants in the Edgeville Dungeon to level up fast), and also level 57 woodcutting for the Waka canoe.

You should only bring items you are willing to lose!

You do not need to bring anything else than an air staff and law runes (for tele-grab), but bringing armour and having good prayers is recommended; but if you know what you are doing, you can go in fully naked.


When you hop worlds while doing this method, be sure to hop to worlds far from each other on the world list, or else PK'ers can easily follow your tracks!

There are two methods here which I'd like to mention: smithing rune items, and mining runite ore.

If you've been following the guide well, then, now you should have a really big cash stack, but if you're still stuck in F2P, then you can try these out (Warning: these will take a long time to do be able to do)

Smithing rune items:
You need to train up smithing until level 98-99 and smith rune items. You can get around 500k+ GP an hour!

Mining runite ore:

This method is not recommended; mining training take FOREVER to do, but if you're up to the task, you can do it! To train mining fast, you should mine iron ore, this will take an eternity and will probably lead to burn-out and stress, also, if you are trying to do this, do not bank iron ore!

If you somehow reach mining level 85 (congrats), and you want to attempt this, you will have to go into the wilderness again, and this time, it is highly recommended you bring good armour, since you'll be carrying around really expensive ore, and PK'ers will attempt to kill you!

Following any of these methods, you can earn a sizable chunk of money, after you earn about 5.5Mil, which is enough to buy a bond, it is recommended that you earn some more money so that you do not go broke right after buying the bond and can't afford to sustain it in the next fortnight.

If you got a bond from this guide, be sure to leave a comment!

Here's a tip:
DO NOT AUTO SELL OR BUY A BOND! BE PATIENT!
