OSRS early game money making guide

Make GP and Keep Progressing Your Account

On a fresh or low-level account, the highest GP/hr on the Wiki is usually out of reach. You need a money maker your stats, quests and cash stack can support now. Some methods give XP. Others are worth doing long enough to pay for runes, teleports or quest items before you get back to training.

IIIAccount stage

What Counts as Early Game?

There is no official early-game cutoff. We start with the method’s highest skill req, then move it later when a quest, area, tool or risky setup makes it harder to start. The ranges below describe the method, not your combat level or total level.

1–20

Fresh

The highest skill req is usually 1–20, with little setup.

21–40

Starter

Usually needs a 21–40 skill or an early quest, area or tool.

41–60

Progressing

Usually needs a 41–60 skill, a longer trip or more setup.

✦

Check the reqs

A method with no skill req can still need a quest, specific account state or gear.

Check the Reqs Before Chasing GP/hr

A high GP/hr number is useless if you are missing the quest, item or area that makes the method work. The finder separates methods you can start from methods that still need an in-game check or a few more levels.

Loading a username checks public Hiscores. It cannot see your quests, bank, inventory, diaries, gear or new-account trade restrictions.

VYour first stack

Start With GP You Can Actually Spend

Enter 0 on a fresh account with an empty cash stack. Gathering methods with no GE input can still appear. Processing methods stay out of Ready now until you can afford the first batch.

Your cash stack≥First batch cost=Enough GP to start

Banked items are not valued, and a profitable estimate does not guarantee an instant fill. Test a small batch before committing the cash you need for teleports, runes or training.

VIIQuestions

OSRS Early Game Money Making FAQ

What is the best early-game money maker in OSRS?

There is no single best method for every early-game account. Your best option depends on your stats, cash stack, F2P or Members and how much clicking you want. Ready now shows the highest live GP/hr options that fit.

Can a fresh account make money with zero GP?

Yes. Enter 0 as your cash stack. Gathering or collection methods with no GE input can still appear when they fit your other settings.

Why does a method say Check before you start?

Hiscores can confirm stats, but not quests, banked items, gear or area access. Check the req shown on the card before buying supplies.

Is Early Game defined by combat level?

No. A combat 3 account can have high non-combat stats, and a higher-combat account can still be missing key quests. We use the method’s skill reqs and setup instead of one combat-level cutoff.

Does this page work for Ironman accounts?

No. This page assumes a main account can buy inputs and sell outputs on the GE. Ironman money making needs a separate supply and value model.

Use your current stats and cash stack to find a method you can start.
