Anyone who has played Old School RuneScape (OSRS) for a while knows a crucial fact: the faster you gain experience in a skill, the more it tends to cost you. Conversely, if you want to make OSRS Gold while training a skill, the experience rates are usually abysmal. But what if you could combine money-making methods with some of the best skilling techniques or even combine two skills? Imagine profitable, fast experience or double experience by training two skills at once—all without relying on tech manipulation.
Every week, I’ll be combining either two skills or a skill and a money-maker to make high experience skilling profitable again or to speed up the skilling process. In this episode, we will train three skills at once while making money at the same time, all without tech manipulation.
The Method Overview
This method requires access to Prifddinas, a high-level area in OSRS that becomes available after completing the Song of the Elves quest. While the quest has high requirements and a lengthy quest chain, the rewards are worth it. Prifddinas offers access to numerous training methods, including the Zalcano, the Gauntlet, and a unique method that trains three skills simultaneously while also generating profit.
Requirements
Before diving into the method, you need to ensure you meet the following requirements:
- Magic: Level 55
- Hunter: Level 77 (or 80 if not using a Hunter potion)
- Crafting: Level 54
- Initial Investment: At least 200,000 GP
- Tools: A butterfly net and at least 10 Impling jars
- Magic Gear: A staff that provides unlimited fire runes (e.g., Staff of Fire)
- Supplies: A large number of the highest-level orbs you can attach to a battle staff, and an equal number of Nature runes
- Optional: Weight-reducing clothing (not mandatory but helpful)
Preparing for the Method
To execute this method effectively, you’ll need around 500 orbs and an equal number of Nature runes for every hour you plan to train. Start by equipping your staff and wearing any weight-reducing clothing you have. In your inventory, keep your Nature runes, GP, butterfly net, at least one Impling jar, and fill the remaining spaces with orbs.
How the Method Works
This method combines three skills—Magic, Crafting, and Hunter—while generating profit. Here’s how you do it:
- Start in Prifddinas: Begin your training at Eluned’s shop on the west side of Prifddinas. Here, you can purchase battlestaves for 7k GP each, which is over 600 GP cheaper than their Grand Exchange price. Each world offers a stock of 5 battlestaves, so you’ll need to world-hop to maximize your profit.
- Attaching Orbs to Battlestaves: Attach the orbs to the battlestaves, gaining Crafting experience. This step is crucial as it provides consistent Crafting XP and sets you up for the next part of the method.
- High Alchemy: Use High Alchemy on the enchanted battlestaves to earn Magic experience and profit. Since you’re buying the battlestaves at a lower cost, you’ll make a profit from alching them, which adds up over time.
- Catching Crystal Implings: While you’re hopping worlds or running between the shop and the bank, keep an eye out for Crystal Implings. These implings are worth around 76k GP each, including the Crystal shards they drop. Catching them will give you additional profit and a Hunter experience. If you’re between levels 77-79 Hunter, use a Hunter potion to boost your level to 80, which is the required level to catch Crystal Implings.
The Process in Detail
Step 1: Purchasing Battlestaves
- Start by purchasing five battlestaves from Eluned’s shop.
- After buying, attach the orbs to the battlestaves to gain Crafting XP.
- World-hop and repeat until your inventory is full.
Step 2: High Alchemy
- Once your inventory is full, use High Alchemy on the enchanted battlestaves to gain Magic XP and make a profit.
- Keep an eye out for Crystal Implings as you world-hop. When you spot one, switch to your butterfly net and catch it to add to your profit.
Step 3: Banking
- When you’ve used up all your orbs, don’t immediately return to the bank. Instead, fill your inventory with more battlestaves from Eluned’s shop before heading to the bank. This way, you minimize the number of bank trips, effectively doubling the number of battlestaves you can process in one trip.
Step 4: Rinse and Repeat
- Bank your Crystal Implings and battlestaves, withdraw more orbs and Nature runes, and repeat the process for as long as you wish.
Profit and Experience Rates
I tested this method using 100 orbs, which took about 30 minutes and 40 seconds. During this time, I managed to catch two Crystal Implings, which I expect to be an average rate. However, keep in mind that impling spawns can vary—you may go through periods where you catch several in quick succession or none at all for a while.
Here’s a breakdown of my results:
- Crystal Implings: 152k GP
- Battlestaves Profit: 32k GP
This equates to 808k GP profit per hour.
In terms of experience:
- Crafting XP: 61,000 XP
- Magic XP: 31,000 XP
- Hunter XP: 3,000 XP
That’s over 1 million XP and 10 million GP profit each day if you consistently use this method.
Why This Method is Effective
This method is unique because it combines three skilling methods into one, making it incredibly efficient for players looking to maximize both experience and profit. Not only are you training three different skills at once, but you’re also making a solid profit without relying on complex game mechanics or tech manipulation. The combination of high Crafting XP, decent Magic XP, and passive Hunter XP, alongside the potential for significant profits, makes this method highly effective for players at all levels.
Final Thoughts
If you’re looking for a skilling method in OSRS that doesn’t just focus on one skill or one way of making money, this method is perfect for you. By combining multiple skills and a money-maker, you can maximize your experience gains while still earning a profit. Plus, this method is flexible—you can adapt it based on your current levels, available resources, and goals.
