1. Avianises in the Wilderness God Wars Dungeon
Requirements:
- Stats: 60 Agility, 70 Strength, 40 Prayer (for Protect from Missiles), and ideally 50 Ranged
- Gear: Zamorak robe top and bottom (for Prayer bonus), Ardougne Cloak or Amulet of Glory, Armadyl Pendant (optional), and a range weapon with ammo
- Items: 3 Prayer Potions, 1 Ranging Potion, 1 Glory or any level 30 teleport method, 1 Burning Amulet
Method:
- Teleport to the Bandit Camp using the Burning Amulet.
- Run west away from the Bandits and then north to the Wilderness God Wars Dungeon.
- Use the Agility entrance if you have the level; otherwise, use the Strength entrance and activate Protect from Melee.
- Run to the northwest corner of the dungeon where there are no Bando creatures.
- Turn on auto-retaliate and Protect from Missiles. Attack the aviansies.
- Loot every few minutes: noted Adibars, Runite limbs, Rune daggers, and Inquisitor heads (worth 5,000 GP each) are common drops.
In 25 minutes, I killed 71 aviansies and gathered loot worth about 242,000 GP. Considering the cost, this method yields just over 500,000 GP per hour.
2. Brutal Black Dragons
Requirements:
- Stats: 77 Slayer
- Gear: Basic range setup (I used one costing about 10 million GP), 3 Prayer Potions, 1 Super Anti-Fire Potion
- Items: Zerker Talisman, Ranging Potion
Method:
- Use the Zerker Talisman to teleport to The Inferno.
- Run east and go down the hole southeast of the altar.
- Keep your distance from the dragons and use Protect from Magic.
- Attack and kill the Brutal Black Dragons.
Brutal Black Dragons drop Dragon Bones and Black Dragonhide, making this method quite AFK. I did 7 kills in 9 minutes, with an average kill worth 27,000 GP. After accounting for banking and supply costs, this method earns about 1.7 million GP per hour.
3. Moss Giants in the Wilderness (F2P)
Requirements:
- Gear: Rune Scimitar, Rune Platebody, Amulet of Power, Mythril Boots, and any cape.
- Items: Some food
Method:
- Teleport to Faros Enclave using the Last Man Standing mini-game teleport.
- Run north to the area just above the hunter icon on the map.
- Kill Moss Giants for Mossy Keys.
Moss Giants drop Mossy Keys, which can be used to kill the Moss Giant boss. Each kill is worth an average of 880,000 GP due to the essence drop. With average drops depending on your levels, this method can make between 400,000 and 700,000 GP per hour.
4. Giant Mole
Requirements:
- Stats: Completed Fremennik Hard Diary
- Gear: Full Dharok’s set, best melee gear, and a Dwarven Rock Cake or similar method to lower health
- Items: Prayer Potions, Stamina Potions, Bones to Peaches tablets
Method:
- Dig on any Little Mounds in Falador to access the mole lair.
- Lower your health to 1 HP using the Rock Cake or similar methods.
- Use Protect from Melee and attack the Giant Mole.
In 10 minutes, I managed to get 8 kills, earning about 232,000 GP, which translates to just under 1.4 million GP per hour. This method is less AFK but can still be quite profitable.
5. Drakes
Requirements:
- Stats: 84 Slayer
- Gear: Best melee or range gear, Dragon Hunter Crossbow (or similar), Super Anti-Fire Potion
- Items: Super Combat or Ranging Potion, Prayer Potions, food
Method:
- Go into the mountain and head up to the floor with Drakes.
- Use Super Anti-Fire Potions and Protect from Melee if using Melee, or Protect from Range if using range.
- AFK kills Drakes for their drops.
Drakes are aggressive and can be killed AFK with minimal attention. On average, you’ll make about 500,000 GP per hour after costs.
6. Ancient Wyverns
Requirements:
- Stats: 66 Slayer
- Gear: Best melee or range setup, Dragon Hunter weapon, or similar
- Items: Super Combat or Ranging Potion, Prayer Potions, food
Method:
- Go to Fossil Island and enter the cave to find the Ancient Wyverns.
- Protect from Ranged attacks and kill the Wyverns.
Ancient Wyverns drop valuable loot, including high-value bones and items. They are very AFK-friendly. At level 82 Slayer, you can earn up to 1.3 million GP per hour.
7. Skeletal Wyverns
Requirements:
- Stats: 72 Slayer
- Gear: Best melee or range setup, Dragon Hunter weapon, or similar
- Items: Super Combat or Ranging Potion, Prayer Potions, food
Method:
- Teleport to the Ice Dungeon and run north to find the Skeletal Wyverns.
- AFK kills the Wyverns using the recommended gear.
Skeletal Wyverns offer around 750,000 GP per hour, though this method requires consistent banking due to the distance and drops.
8. Kree’arra
Requirements:
- Stats: High combat stats (90+ Defense and Range recommended)
- Gear: Best range setup, including Karil’s Crossbow or equivalent, Ruby and Diamond Bolts
- Items: Ecumenical Key, Super Restore Potions, Ranging Potions
Method:
- Use Ecumenical Keys to enter the God Wars Dungeon.
- Stand under Kree’arra and attack it while using a crossbow and bolts.
- Switch to Diamond Bolts when the boss is nearly dead.
Kree’arra is one of the most lucrative bosses and can yield up to 4.5 million GP per hour with max stats. It’s quite AFK and pairs well with other methods for efficient money-making.
