Money making guide/Combat (P2P)
- This article is about the members guide. For the free-to-play guide, see Money making guide/Combat (F2P).
This guide is for members who wish to profit from combat. As a general rule, pick the strategy which requires the least consumables (food and potions). Remember that consumables cost money and time, and have to be accounted for when using combat to profit. Part of profiting through combat involves the speed at which players can kill the monsters.
The following list details monsters that do not require a Slayer level to fight or kill. For making money with Slayer, see the Slayer money making guide.
Effectiveness | Requirements | Details |
---|---|---|
Kill chaos druids in the Edgeville Dungeon. Chaos druids produce good money for almost all levels. Druids can drop rare herbs, along with many mid-level herbs, and are close to a bank. Level 10 Dungeoneering is required to enter the dungeons.

70+ Combat | The chaos dwarves found in the Taverley Dungeon can be killed for muddy keys (an uncommon drop), mithril bars, and bones. Usually uncrowded in most worlds, this spot provides good experience, although food will be required.
Muddy keys sell for Expression error: Unrecognized punctuation character "["., and are a semi-common drop from the chaos dwarves. Each bank trip with 28 muddy keys results in about Expression error: Unexpected < operator. coins. The mithril bars could also be sold for Expression error: Unrecognized punctuation character "[".. Players should be wary, as they are quite accurate even with high defence. Note that they can hit up to 66 hitpoints, and are located quite close to lesser demons.

Kill snails Found south of Canifis for their thin snails which are worth a very decent Expression error: Unexpected < operator. Expression error: Unexpected < operator.Expression error: Unexpected < operator.Expression error: Unexpected < operator.. Excellent Money making for lower levels. There is a Bank in Canifis. Kill the level 9-15 snails And beware of Ghasts. Bring your silver sickles and your druid pouch.
When you are out of stacks in your druid pouch, there is an altar to the west of Canifis, near the bridge. With your prayer you will be able to use bloom to stack up your pouch. Otherwise the ghasts will hit you or spoil your food.

50+ Combat | Killing flesh crawlers for herbs such as ranarr, dwarf weed, lantadyme, avantoe, kwuarm, and runes. Less desirable herbs like guam and tarromin should be left on the ground as they cut into profit. As well, players are advised to bring a Ring of Wealth, as Flesh Crawlers are on the list of Rare Drop Table monsters and can thus provide a load of money, provided the player gets lucky.

Requires Cabin Fever quest completed | The snakes located on Mos Le'Harmless have a 100% chance of dropping snake hide which is worth Expression error: Unexpected < operator. Expression error: Unexpected < operator.Expression error: Unexpected < operator.Expression error: Unexpected < operator. coins each. Antipoison is highly recommended.

Tortoises can drop up to three tortoise shells, which sell for Expression error: Unexpected < operator. Expression error: Unexpected < operator.Expression error: Unexpected < operator.Expression error: Unexpected < operator. coins each. They also drop some valuable grimy herbs(E.g.:Grimy ranarr. The level 76 tortoises have a max hit of 100, while the level 92 tortoise has a max hit of 120. All are inaccurate. It is also important to note that they are located directly north of a swamp which spawns swamp toads. These toads heal quite a bit, so bringing food is not necessary.

80+ combat | Killing green dragons is a very common and effective way to make money. These dragons always drop green dragonhides and dragon bones, which sell for Expression error: Unexpected < operator. Expression error: Unexpected < operator.Expression error: Unexpected < operator.Expression error: Unexpected < operator. coins and Expression error: Unexpected < operator. Expression error: Unexpected < operator.Expression error: Unexpected < operator.Expression error: Unexpected < operator. coins each respectively.

Expression error: Unexpected < operator.Expression error: Unexpected < operator.Expression error: Unexpected < operator. coins.
Green dragons are found mainly in the Wilderness, so beware of player killers when hunting them. A few can also be found in the Chaos Tunnels, although this is a multicombat area so proceed with caution.

See Green dragon/Strategies for more information.

Rewards from the Barrows activity include valuable runes, bolt racks and Barrows equipment. Pieces of Barrows equipment can sell for anywhere between Expression error: Unexpected < operator. Expression error: Unexpected < operator.Expression error: Unexpected < operator.Expression error: Unexpected < operator. coins to Expression error: Unexpected < operator. Expression error: Unexpected < operator.Expression error: Unexpected < operator.Expression error: Unexpected < operator. coins a piece. The Nature Spirit quest is helpful, as it grants access to a shortcut to Barrows. Completion of In Aid of the Myreque is helpful as it opens a bank in Burgh de Rott, which shortens time between trips. Also, The Branches of Darkmeyer will give an item that will allow quick teleport to the Barrows, as well as banks in Burgh de Rott and Darkmeyer. Completing the Hard task set of Morytania doubles the amount of runes received, allowing near-maxed players to pull over one million coins per hour before factoring any barrows items received.

Blue dragons can be killed in much the same manner as green dragons. They always drop blue dragonhide (worth Expression error: Unexpected < operator. Expression error: Unexpected < operator.Expression error: Unexpected < operator.Expression error: Unexpected < operator. coins) and dragon bones (worth Expression error: Unexpected < operator. Expression error: Unexpected < operator.Expression error: Unexpected < operator.Expression error: Unexpected < operator. coins). Ranged and melee are the most efficient ways to kill them quickly.
The Ogre Enclave (requires Watchtower quest) and Taverley Dungeon (70+ Agility recommended for shortcut) are two of the most popular places to kill blue dragons.
| ||
Killing Ankous are one of the most popular ways for collecting what they drop a lot. They drop blood and death runes more frequently than any other monster in-game, and are extremely weak for their level. They drop a large variety of noted items, and also can drop items from the rare drop table. However, they drop coins for the majority of the time.
| ||
At a combat level of 100 and higher, soloing the Giant Mole should be easy. Go to a non-Lootshare world and kill it alone. It is easy to make a few hundred thousand coins in 3-4 kills, and the Mole is a good source of Blue Charms as well, dropping 2 per drop with a rate of around 2 blue charms every 10 kills. You can either sell the hides and claws dropped by the Giant Mole or trade them in for nests that yield seeds, and can then be crushed with a pestle and mortar and sold. At a combat level of 130 or higher with extreme potions, turmoil, and a combat/BoB familiar or a very high ranged level, a cannon, and a combat/BoB familiar you'll be earning at least 500k an hour (possibly more if seeds from nests and other notable drops are taken into account). Please view the Giant Mole page for strategies.

Kill Waterfiends in the Ancient cavern. They often drop noted water orbs, water battlestaves, and rune helms. While they don't have exceptionally valuable drops, most drops are stackable and add up to a large value quickly. Armour with high magic defence and prayer potions strongly advised.
| ||
Killing mature grotworms in the Grotworm Lair is another excellent way to make money. However, their drops are very random. Some people report making 100k an hour, while others report 300k+ an hour, although the drops have been significantly worsened to a point where it is difficult to make 100k+ an hour. Their valuable drops, such as the rune Longsword, and blood runes are a steady source of income. They sell for high prices on the G.E or street price (more than their G.E price.) Depending on your combat stats, equipment, and the luck of drops, players can accumulate millions of coins quickly and efficiently at a reasonable rate. Their combat level is 167, and a level of 80+ with some prayer, melee, and food can easily make a decent amount of coins. ALWAYS WEAR a Ring of Wealth here, as they have access to the rare drop table. Your main drops are Rune items, rune ore, and Blood runes, making this a respectable way to make gold. The downside to this method is the extensive botting in the dungeon.
Don't forget to bring nature runes and a staff with an unlimited supply of fire runes or fire runes to high alch the rune equipment as this gains more profit than selling them on the Grand Exchange and reduces the need to bank. At higher levels, with turmoil and extremes, it's possible to make over 1 million coins per hour. Note: The 8/7/2012 update stopped the drop of certain rune items like the rune chainbody.

Killing the Tormented wraith may be a good way of profit. It can drop the Spirit shield and Holy elixir (albeit a rarer rate than the Corporeal Beast), and is quite easy to kill. It also drops noted iron ore and oak planks, which can be sold to other players at a decent price. It also drops Black equipment, which is quite rare to find outside apart from specific monsters (Black demons, Giant rock crabs). With high combat stats and the best BoB you can bring, profit per hour can increase by 200000 coins. Remember you must bring Jennica's Ring and complete Summer's End.

Going on the Burgh de Rott and Temple Trekking minigames can be very profitable. As red tickets provide very high level herbs (from Grimy candantines to Grimy torstols), which, if a player is lucky in one of the trips, may provide over 400k. Players may also make profit by killing the Nail beasts, which provide an ingredient for a Super restore, Fiyr shades for their remains, which are currently worth Expression error: Unrecognized punctuation character "[".. Snails may also provide Crafting XP and coins if their shells are taken to Barlak.
King Black Dragon making a profit of 400k per hour at level 115+ makes this monster very good for money and has the much soughted draconic visage and dragon rider equipement | ||
Troll Stronghold, 60 Strength/Agility | Killing Aviansies can provide a decent amount of coins. Their commonly noted drop of four adamant bars provides almost Expression error: Unrecognized punctuation character "[". (x4). They also drop a decent amount of alchable equipment, such as Runite limbs, and Rune dagger (p). To improve profits, a high magic level with decent maging equipment and 70 Ranged would improve the money made by 100000 coins per hour. As they are crowded with bots, it may be best to use a foreign server instead.

Killing Revenants in the Forinthry Dungeon is another excellent way to create money. Their valuable drops, such as the Vesta's longsword, Ancient statuette, and Statius's warhammer are worth millions of coins. They sell for extremely high prices on the G.E or street price (more than their G.E price.) Depending on your combat stats, equipment and the luck of drops, players can accumulate millions of coins quickly and efficiently at a reasonable rate. Be wary of PKers, however, who frequently visit the area. For more information on this approach see the Pay-to-play Revenant hunting guide.

While Guthix Sleeps quest | Killing Tormented Demons is one of the best money-making strategies; they drop Dragon Claws which are worth Expression error: Unexpected < operator. Expression error: Unexpected < operator.Expression error: Unexpected < operator.Expression error: Unexpected < operator. coins and Ruined dragon armour slices, lumps and shards, all worth around Expression error: Unexpected < operator.
