In the ever-evolving world of Old School RuneScape (OSRS), finding new and efficient money-making methods is an ongoing quest for many players. Recently, I’ve been diving deep into various money-making strategies, testing numerous methods to uncover unique and profitable opportunities. In this article, I’ll share some of the most intriguing and lesser-known money makers I’ve discovered, including a lucrative cooking method, a new forestry OSRS Gold maker, and some rare item flips that could make you a fortune.
The Hidden Gem: Cooking with Foresters Rations
Forestry, the latest addition to OSRS, has introduced some interesting money-making opportunities. One such method revolves around the Foresters Ration, a new item created using leaves on a piece of cooked meat. While this item is currently useless until the second part of Forestry is released, its potential value has not gone unnoticed.
Foresters Ration Creation:
- Materials Needed:
- Willow Leaves (500, each costing approximately 300 GP)
- Cooked Meat (costing around 230 GP)
2. Process:
- Use the willow leaves on the cooked meat to create Foresters Rations.
- Be careful not to eat the meat, as this is not part of the money-making process.
- Profit Calculation:
- In just 18 minutes and 52 seconds, I was able to produce 1,500 rations.
- The cost of materials was approximately 265,000 GP.
- Selling the rations at an average price of 594,000 GP yielded a profit of 1.04 million GP per hour.
This method not only provides a significant profit but also offers a decent amount of cooking experience, around 83,000 XP per hour. If you’re looking to make a substantial amount of GP while training your cooking skills, this could be your go-to method.
Exploring Lesser-Known Item Flips
1. Druid Pouch Fillers:
Two items that are used to fill the Druid pouch, the More My Fungus and More My Stems, have recently caught my attention. While these items are not well-known, they offer a surprising amount of profit when collected and sold.
Collection Method:
- Location: A spot with two small bushes and three rotting branches.
- Process: Cast Bloom on this spot to collect More My Stems and Pairs.
- Profit:
- After collecting for 8.5 minutes, I gathered 45 Pairs and 73 branches.
- The total profit, after accounting for the cost of runes and prayer potions, was around 1.1 million GP per hour.
Testing Uncommon Quest Items for Profit
Uncommon quest items often follow a price trend where their value spikes occasionally. These spikes provide an opportunity to make a profit if you can catch the market at the right time.
1. Spike Boots:
- Materials Needed: Iron Bar and Clarin Boots.
- Cost to Create: 92,400 GP for 100 pairs.
- Selling Price: Initially sold for 3,500 GP each but tested at 5,000 GP.
- Profit: Selling at 5,000 GP yielded a profit of 1.9 million GP per hour.
2. Seasoned Sardines:
- Materials Needed: Raw Sardine and Google Leaves.
- Creation Time: 200 sardines took 5 minutes to prepare.
- Cost per Sardine: 264 GP.
- Selling Price: Tested at 10,000 GP each.
- Profit: Sold 21 sardines for a total of 207,000 GP.
3. Poison Chalices:
- Materials Needed: Collected for free from asking Stankers.
- Collection Time: 8 minutes for 79 chalices.
- Selling Price: Tested at 50,000 GP each.
- Profit: Sold 30 out of 79 chalices for a total of 1.48 million GP.
Although the poison chalice method proved to be time-consuming and required a GE slot, the potential profit of 29.6 million GP per hour (if sold efficiently) is notable. However, this method is not always feasible due to market saturation and the time required for sales.
Leveraging the GE Tracker for Uncommon Item Trends
One of the most powerful tools for identifying profitable item flips is the GE Tracker. This tool allows you to track price trends of various items, including uncommon quest items that might not be widely known. By keeping an eye on these trends, you can exploit price spikes and make a significant profit.
Conclusion
In the world of OSRS, discovering new money-making methods can be both exciting and rewarding. From utilizing the Foresters Ration for profitable cooking to flipping rare quest items and finding hidden money makers like the Druid pouch fillers, there are numerous opportunities to maximize your GP earnings. By staying vigilant and using tools like the GE Tracker, you can stay ahead of the curve and uncover even more hidden gems in the game.
