Requirements

Level 99 Mining
Level 99 Smithing
Mining Skillcape
Smithing Skillcape
Dragon Pickaxe
500k gp to purchase Gem Gloves

Improves GP Rate

Making diamonds into Diamond Luck Potions with the Herblore Skillcape more than doubles their value. This requires:
- Level 99 Herblore
- Level 80 Farming
Aorpheats Signet Ring for a 10% chance to double ore, bar, platebody, and potion gains
Perfect Swing Potions to increase the idle rate that ore can be mined at.
- Level 53 Herblore
- Level 50 Farming
Increasing Mastery Level of items provide additional resource-saving and doubling benefits.

Method

Gather Dragonite Ore, Runite Ore and Coal Ore in a 1:2:6 ratio. This should be done wearing the Mining Skillcape. Depending on Mastery Levels and whether or not Diamond Luck Potions are being made, either Gem Gloves or Mining Gloves should be worn.
Make Dragonite Bars while wearing the Smithing Skillcape.
Make Dragon Platebodies
Make the diamonds into Diamond Luck Potions with the Herblore Skillcape if possible.
Sell the Gems, Diamond Luck Potions and Dragon Platebodies for profit

GP Rates with different Equipment and Mastery

The mastery in the tables below assume that every item has that mastery level. Note that the time to gather the ingredients for and make Perfect Swing Potions has not been included in the calculation due to it being negligible. It is also assumed that the Barrentoe Herbs for creating Diamond Luck Potions is grown concurrently during the money-making method, and do not add additional time.

Calculating the GP Rate

The GP rate can be calculated by finding the profit of completing a single platebody action and dividing by the time to complete the action and gather/craft all sub-components.

Fishing

Raw Whales (Max 1,746k/hr)

Requirements

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Level 95

Improves GP Rate

Name	Description
Error creating thumbnail: File missing Dragon Fishing Rod	The strongest Fishing Rod, reduces fishing catch time by 40%.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing Amulet of Fishing	Reduces fishing catch time by 20%. (Stacks multiplicatively with Fishing Rod bonus)
Fishing Skillcape	Doubles the number of fish caught.
File:Aorpheats Signet Ring (item).png Aorpheats Signet Ring	Increases the chance of doubling the number of fish caught by 10%.
Pudding Duckie	Increases the chance of doubling the number of fish caught by 5%.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing Level 99	Doubles the number of fish caught.
95% Fishing Mastery Pool Checkpoint	Provides a 25% chance to receive an additional random special item whenever special items are received.

NOTE: The Fishing Skillcape and Level 99 Mastery bonuses will stack, causing at least four fish to be caught each time. The Signet Ring and pet bonuses will provide a 15% chance of catching eight fish.

Expected Outputs Per Hour

2,328 Raw Whale, worth (750 each.)

Method

Equip Fishing gear and fish for Whales. Each piece of equipment will give a substantial boost to profit per hour. 65 Whale Mastery or 25% Fishing Mastery Pool Checkpoint are the most important targets, either of which will remove the junk catch chance. Fishing is the most profitable single-skill money making method, though it gets outclassed by the multiplicative benefits of the combinations above. This method does not include extra gold gained from special chances which would boost profit per hour marginally. Maximum gp/hr rates assume all improvements to GP rate are obtained and in use.

Alternative Fish

Players who do not yet have level 95 fishing may also choose to consider the following options: (Note that the numbers below include the boost from the Fishing Skillcape, and as such the actual profit per hour will be substantially lower for players who do not have it)

Fish	Requirements	Expected Output/Hr	GP/Fish	Max GP/Hr
Raw Magic Fish	Error creating thumbnail: File missing Level 80 Message in a Bottle	1,655	960	1,589k
Raw Manta Ray	Error creating thumbnail: File missing Level 85	2,279	650	1,482k
Raw Shark	Error creating thumbnail: File missing Level 70	3,491	270	942k

Fletching Magic Longbows (Max 975k/hr)

Template:OldStrategy

Requirements

Method

By utilizing the output doubling of the Fletching Skillcape, the value of magic logs can be more than quadrupled; it is doubled once making unstrung bows, and another time making strung bows. Profits can be further increased by using Skilled Fletching Potion IV and Aorpheats Signet Ring. To calculate the maximum GP per hour, 99 mastery level will be assumed. The entire process is as follows:

Cut yew logs and magic logs simultaneously while wearing the Woodcutting Skillcape. The yew logs should be sold.
Fletch the magic logs into Magic Longbow (u) while wearing the Fletching Skillcape.
Purchase bowstrings from the Shop and fletch the unstrung bows into Magic Longbow.
Sell the longbows for profit.

Without using Aorpheats Signet Ring and Skilled Fletching Potion IV profits are around 624k/hr, however, using the ring and potion increases profits by 351k/hr.

Mining with Gem Gloves (Max 729k/hr Idle)

Requirements

500k gp to purchase Gem Gloves

Improves GP Rate

The Mining Skillcape provides additional coal to sell
Higher tier Pickaxes increase the rate that ore is mined
The
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Master of Nature god upgrade decreases the mining interval by 20%
Higher
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Mastery levels for an ore allow it to be mined more before it needs to respawn
Perfect Swing Potions (
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Level 53) can increase idle GP rates by decreasing the amount of time spent waiting for ores to respawn
Mining and selling Adamantite Ore provides the highest GP rate when using Perfect Swing Potion III and below. When using Perfect Swing Potion IV, Dragonite Ore provides the highest GP rate.
Actively switching to the highest tier ore yields higher GP rates

Method

This method relies on Gem Gloves increasing the gem chance to 100% when mining (excluding Rune Essence). The average value of a Gem is 381.25, while a single charge of the Gem Gloves costs only 250. Thus 131.25 of profit is earned per mining action from gems. It is recommended to use this method while gathering the large quantities of ore required to train the
