A Quick Introduction
This guide will help guide you through a quick way to make money every single day. There is a few requirements for some of these but I will make sure to highlight what those requirements are and how much you'll be missing out on without those requirements.
Buying Runes
There are a few shops around the map that sell runes. Runes are always in high demand for training, Vis Wax, and for high level players looking to boss. The runes we are looking to buy as well as how many you can obtain are:
  • Air Runes (7500)
  • Fire Runes (7500)
  • Soul Runes (300)
  • Water Runes (7500)

By buying all of these you are expected to make around 2m. If you do that each day then that alone will fund a bond.

Vis Wax
Vis Wax can only be done once per day at the Runecrafting Guild. The Runecrafting Guild is through a portal at the top of the Wizard's Tower South of Draynor. You can use your Wick Hood (talk to Tim in North East Burthorpe) to teleport directly to the Wizard's Tower.

Access to the Runecrafting Guild requires Level 50 Runecrafting. You can generally expect to make around 90-100 Vis Wax every day. You can get the combination each day by accessing the Friend's Chat "vis wax fc" and they'll have it posted at the top of the member list.

Doing Vis Wax every day is an easy 1.2m per day.
Buying Vials of Water
Buying Vial of Water Packs is a very quick way to make some extra money. You can make around 500k by visiting the shops. There are more shops than what I'm posting but they don't sell very many so it's really not worth going to. Make sure to open the packs to get the Vials.

Shop Locations
Jatix's Herblore Shop
Location: Taverly (next to the bank)
Requirements: None
Amount Sold: 40

The Lighthouse Store*

Obli's General Store

Making Empty Flasks
Making Empty Flasks each day can earn you around 900k per day.
There are 2 types of Flasks; Crystal Flasks and Potion Flasks. Both require you to have 89 Crafting and As a First Resort completed. In order to make Crystal Flasks you must have Prifddinas unlocked.

In order to make the Potion Flasks you must first mine the Sandstone. The Red Sandstone is location right outside of Oo'glog and will give you 50 Red Sandstone which must be taken to the Robust Glass Machine located in the middle of Oo'glog or the machine located in Prifddinas in the Ithell District. You can mine an additional 25 just outside of Sophanem if you've completed the Elite Desert Achievements.

In order to make the Crystal Flask you must first mine the Crystal-flecked Sandstone which is located in the Ithell District inside Prifddinas. Once you obtain the sandstone you must convert it by using it on the Robust Glass Machine next to the Sandstone or in the middle of Oo'glog. You can earn 50 per day. If you have 115 Dungeoneering you can visit the Edimmu Resource Dungeon to mine an additional 25.

here try this one:
lvl 20 wc & construction, willow logs 800ish each, 12 make 1 frame, 60k on the ge.
25k logs = bond {approx) takes me about 16 hours of play but it is the best min req bond spinner i can think of.
good luck :)

Honestly if you can't afford membership or premier using the pay by 4 methods then you shouldn't be gaming and worry about working more hours.

Cool historic guide! Because of inflation from the GE tax plus the gp cap limit being removed I did some math on how this reflects today.

Profits from all above methods:
Air runes: 150000
Fire runes: 382500
Water runes: 262500
Soul runes: 108000
Vis: 1135000 (average per wiki money making guide)
Flasks: 647000-970000
Vials (plus newer Fort Forinthry shop): 1200000
= almost exactly 4m gp

Bonds are just under 150m as of this post, so this now earns a bond every 37.5 days. That equates to at least 260% inflation if previously a bond was able to be earned in exactly 2 weeks.

This was written in 2020 when Runescape first launched on Steam. It was possible to maintain a bond and even profit by doing daily shop runs. Since then Bond prices have gone through the roof due to MTX promos bombarding the game. As a high-end PVMer it doesn't impact me as much but it impacts the low levels and less skilled players. Jagex's lack of assisting new players find an interest in the game has kind of driven me from RS3 to OSRS where there's a bit more attention shown to new players.

Should RS3 get updated to be more new player friendly and reduce their insistence on MTX promos I will definitely update the guide to help all of you with your money making without intense requirements. I'll also start releasing guides on how to kill some bosses with low gear requirements and low stats as I find it a bit annoying how every guide recommends new players to walk in with near BIS to learn a boss that you can kill with a Royal Crossbow and full Royal Dhide without issues.

with how high bonds are getting this guide is pretty out of date now.
AussieGamer47 25 Mar, 2024 @ 6:31am 
Kind out useless now considering bonds sell for almost 100m now lol

OK, nice list of the shops that give out free runes, but I have one question. "What's a Bond?"
