RuneScape - It's not the most cost-effective deal

 

Words of caution though, cutting wood even with RuneScape gold membership is not that profitable in comparison to other low-effort methods . Oak logs earn about 21k gold an hour, while best in slot wood for non-members is yew, which is about twice as profitable. Although members have access to magic wood, it's barely 130k gold each hour. This is only marginally profitable when compared with another method for making money, which is restricted for members.

This is what we've included here as well as other suggestions, to provide a complete picture of OSRS making money. We also warn that even though some activities may yield gold, they aren't necessarily worth the time (unless you are RPing as woodcutter and that's very fine).

Old as the world's largest food festival and money-making activity is not the most cost-effective method of earning gold-plated pieces in OSRS but it's also the most relaxing, without a doubt. For non-membership users, the only option is to fishing for lobsters at Musa Point near Port Sarim that can bring in around 20k gold every hour.

It's not the most cost-effective deal however, if you've joined and are looking for ways to increase your angling skills Catching infernal eels will yield approximately 280k gold/hour while being almost AFK. It's not even necessary to use feathers lures. If you're not scared of PKers and are looking for something a tad more intensive dark crabs are to be found, earning 380k gold every hour.

For those who prefer to stay in the comforts of cities, this method is a good fit for most. It doesn't require a membership account, has minimal entry requirements (just up your craft skills to 6 and you're ready to go) It also helps you master crafting, and generates about 100k gold pieces per hour simply by grabbing several gold bars and necklace molds before putting them in the furnace. Considering that's non-membership method and taking into account that the requirements are essentially nonexistent it should be your option if you're looking to buy rs3 gold in a hurry.
