OSRS High Level AFK Money Making Methods

This guide contains AFK money making methods in Old School Runescape. The easiest and quickest way to get gold is by buying gold at an online store, but if you want to farm yourself, here are your opportunities:

AFK Methods

1. Mining Amethyst

If you have an account with 92+ mining, you can start doing this method. Mining amethyst is fairly afk due to the fact that the ore deposit doesn’t deplete immediately and you will be swinging your pickaxe for a longer period of time. The mining spot is in the mining guild. To increase your profit per hour you should be using these items:

• Varrock armour 4, 10% chance to receive double ore.
• Expert mining gloves, provides a 25% chance of the amethyst not depleting.
• Celestial or Elven signet (if using crystal pickaxe) , provides a mining boost and a 1/10 chance at an additional ore. (optional)

GP/H: 300K - 400K

EXP/H: 19K

2. Smithing Mithril Darts

This is a pretty good way to afk train your smithing and make a little bit of gp on the side. It only requires level 54 smithing and completion of the quest “The Tourist Trap” to do. On average you will be gaining 47K smithing exp every hour and creating 9.5K darts.

GP/H: 80K - 130K 

EXP/H: 47K

3. Fishing Anglerfish

Anglerfish is the best food in Old School Runescape. Due to this reason it is constantly on demand on grand exchange alongside this, due to its high requirements, its price is always stable. For this method you will be needing the following:

• 82+ Fishing (95+ recommended)
• 100% Piscarilius favour
• Sandworms
• Fishing rod
• Rada’s blessing (it increases yield)
• Fish Barrel (recommended for longer trips)
• Spirit flakes (recommended, it increases the yield by %50)

GP/H: 150K - 200K

EXP/H: 18K

4. Cooking Anglerfish

Strangely enough, cooking anglerfish yields more gold per hour than catching it. This is very easy to do, although anglerfish requires level 84 cooking it is recommended to have 99 cooking to not burn anglerfish. If you have lower cooking levels, it is recommended to use cooking gauntlets and the Hosidius kitchen to reduce the chances of the food getting burned. To start this method you will need around 2M gp. Buy your raw anglerfish from the grand exchange and head to your desired range and start cooking.

GP/H: 270K - 300K

EXP/H: 299K

5. Chopping Magic Trees

Chopping magic trees is another really old and afk money making method. Magic logs always have a stable value since the bows made from those logs can be alched. Here are the requirements for this method:

• 75+ Woodcutting (90+ recommended)
• 60 Attack to wield dragon axe (optional)
• 70 Attack and 50 agility to wield a crystal axe (optional)
• Elven Signet (for crystal axe)

6. Daily Activities

• Kingdom of Miscellania: This is a great way to constantly make passive income in Old School Runescape. This method requires the completion of the quests “Throne of Miscellania” and “Royal Trouble”.
