If you have {{Skill|Slayer|45}}, you can consider obtaining a set of {{ItemIcon|Gloves of Silence}} to help with fundraising. This item alone almost doubles the gp/hr of {{MonsterIcon|Cow|Cows}} and it turns {{MonsterIcon|Plant|Plants}} surprisingly into one of the best early money makers.

At {{Skill|Slayer|50}}, save up enough {{SC|slayer coins}} to purchase a {{ItemIcon|Desert Hat}}. You will also transition from {{UpgradeIcon|Basic Resupply}} to {{UpgradeIcon|Standard Resupply}} for the rest of the game at this point. This item gives you access to {{ItemIcon|Rune Gloves}}, {{ItemIcon|Desert Wrappings}}, {{ItemIcon|(G) Rune Boots}} and {{ItemIcon|Sand Treaders}}, as well as other goodies that you will farm in the following section. You will want to farm for at least {{ItemIcon|Rune Gloves}} and {{ItemIcon|(G) Rune Boots}} from the respective creatures in {{ZoneIcon|Arid Plains}}, as these have relatively common drop rates and won't take long. {{ItemIcon|Desert Wrappings}} offer a nice 2% DR which will help with {{ZoneIcon|Spider Forest}}, but can be skipped as they will soon be replaced with {{ItemIcon|Paladin Gloves}}.

This item gives you access to {{ItemIcon|Rune Gloves}}, {{ItemIcon|Desert Wrappings}}, {{ItemIcon|(G) Rune Boots}} and {{ItemIcon|Sand Treaders}}, as well {{ItemIcon|Desert Sabre}} that you may want to farm at one point.

It is possible to kill {{MonsterIcon|Turkul Giant|Turkul Giants}} at this point to obtain {{ItemIcon|Dragon Scimitar}} or {{ItemIcon|Desert Sabre}}, but these upgrades are relatively minor over the {{ItemIcon|Rune 2H Sword}} and will soon be replaced with items from {{ZoneIcon|Deep Sea Ship}} anyway.


Killing {{MonsterIcon|Paladin|Paladins}} for {{ItemIcon|Paladin Gloves}} at this stage is somewhat viable, but they have a low drop rate and the Auto Eat threshold is quite high. Over a long period, the chance of making a mistake and dying is quite high, so it would be better to wait until you can rely on auto eat to do its thing. Around 20% DR and 660 HP.

Alternatively, equipping {{ItemIcon|Gloves of Silence}} increases the base GP/kill of every monster by {{GP|150}}. This makes low HP enemies such as {{MonsterIcon|Plant|Plants}} and {{MonsterIcon|Cow|Cows}} a great source of income too, albeit with lower xp/hr compared to {{MonsterIcon|Master Farmer|Master Farmers}}.

Later on at {{Skill|Slayer|70}} you have access to {{MonsterIcon|Raging Horned Elite}}, which drop a reasonable amount of sellable items (worth about {{GP|2000}} each kill) as well as a huge supply of {{ItemIcon|Trout}}. You will likely kill tens of thousands of this monster, which can easily fund the more expensive upgrades remaining, so it is not important to over-focus on earning GP at this point.
