Money Making
For beginners, the method with the least amount of required skills for its maximum rate is the Fishing method. The Skill requirements listed in each method are the minimum required, and you will often struggle to reach the maximum rates without higher levels in the respective skills for things like Skillcapes, or the ability to make boosts from other Skills.

- Sell common drops. Use Item Alchemy III along with any available GP boosts on drops worth more than 15,000
Thieving is not better than the Dragon Javelin method by default. Both methods heavily depend on the buffs from items, passives, and skills. The most important boosts for this method are all buffs to Stealth and Thieving Interval Reductions. Although princess is unlocked at level 92, it likely will take until level 99 for the Thieving Skillcape and the 95% mastery pool bonus to have sufficient stealth bonuses for a high thieving success rate. Once Princess is survivable, the next most important boost is the Leprechaun+ Devil synergy to increase the number of Jadestones gathered.
High resource preservation and item doubling during Fletching is very beneficial. Using Crown of Rhaelyx and its Charge Stones is strongly recommended here. Without most of the buffs, earnings can be as low as 4,000,000 per hour.

With the Throne of the Herald expansion, the items Grappling Hook and Thieving Shorts are available at level 100 from the Explorer which provide substantial buffs for this method.
With the Atlas of Discovery expansion, Bandit Hideout point of interest in Cartography provides several useful buffs to this method.
Thieving Knight with Leprechaun + Monkey Synergy (16,476k/hr max)
This is in alternative method requiring fewer skills and boosts to get viable results.
Requirements
- Level 88
- Level 55
- Leprechaun Mark Level 4
- Monkey Mark Level 3
Improves GP Rate
These boosts are in addition to the ones above and are specifically for this method.
Name | Effect |
---|---|
Level 99 | +100% GP from Knight +174 Stealth vs Knight |
Method
This method relies on the increased sell values of common drops from the Leprechaun+ Monkey synergy: "Upon receiving a Common Drop from Thieving, automatically sell it for 1500% of its base sale price." Although knight is unlocked at level 88, it likely will take until level 99 for the Thieving Skillcape and the 95% mastery pool bonus to have sufficient stealth bonuses for a high thieving success rate.
- Craft Leprechaun and Monkey Tablets and equip them
- Steal from the Knight
- Sell all unsold drops. Use Item Alchemy III along with any available GP boosts on drops worth more than 10,000
Without most of the buffs, earnings can be lower than 5,000,000 per hour. If you are lacking in stealth for a high success rate on Knight, the Leprechaun+ Monkey synergy may be more effective on the Fisherman.
