It’s 3:00 in the morning, and you’re still up at it. Back slouched on your creaking wooden chair, with your bloodshot eyes focused on the monitor.

The light from it illuminates the eye crust that’s tucked between both on the corners of your eyelids. Your body craves rest, but you obstinately resist as you continually grind for more OSRS gold.

That, by any means, is not a pretty picture but this can easily be what’s happening to thousands of Old School RuneScape players around the world. Trying to grind for in-game currency is no easy task.

Luckily, we’re here to help you out by giving the best AFK money making methods to use when farming OSRS gold! Say goodbye to tedious OSRS farming in the wee hours of the night, and hello to more relaxed ways of getting rich in OSRS!

1. Cooking

Cooking is one of the many skills that you can have, and take advantage of, in Old School RuneScape. If it moves, simply toss it in the fire and let it burn! By transforming these raw materials into culinary masterpieces, you can make anyone drool and cough up copious amounts of money.

Food is one of the most popular sellable items in the community. The best raw material to cook are sharks since is also nets you profit with the use of the Fishing skill. Raw sharks tend to have a price of 600GP for a thousand of them. Just throw them into the fire or grill and bam! You can easily sell these cooked sharks for 700GP.

This method can easily earn you 100k per hour for almost no effort at all! The Cooking skill is a great AFK method if you’re out and about but still need to make a few gold coins. All you need to do is choose the right ingredient to cook with!

2. Woodcutting

Woodcutting is another popular skill to have in Old School Runescape. It’s an easy, AFK-able method that anyone can get into. To start, you’ll need to travel to Lumbridge and talk to Bob in his axe shop. From there, you’ll receive a bronze hatchet for free.

Next, go to the Grand Exchange and chop down all the scattered trees around the area. Do this until your inventory is full of wood. And finally, talk to the Grand Exchange clerk to sell your logs. Logs typically sell for 76-80GP each, and farming a whole lot of these only takes about half an hour. There are different types of trees to cut as well, some being more expensive than others.

For example, Achey trees are known to be worth 200GP per log. If you cut down more than 5k of these trees, you can sell them at the Grand Exchange for a cool million. There are also Mahogany trees to look out for if you already have a high level in Woodcutting. All in all, this skill is a must-have for all players in OSRS.

3. Looting

If picking up items if more to your speed, then looting is a great way for you to make money. Looting can easily make you 250-500k worth of OSRS gold in just an hour.

What’s more, there are lots of areas that are great for looting such asSeers Village, Revenant Caves, and Edgeville for starters.

Best of all, there are no requirements needed if you want to get into Looting! As long as you have a Looting Bag to pick up items being dropped by monsters and players alike from PKing, then you’re good to go!

These three are what we think are the best ways of AFK farming for OSRS gold. Have you tried any of these OSRS money-making methods before? Or are there other alternatives besides the ones we’ve mentioned?
