OSRS High-Level Money Making Guide: Endgame GP Engines

Overview

High-level money making means methods gated by endgame quests, 90+ combat stats or 85+ skills: raids, the Desert Treasure II bosses, Vorkath, Zulrah, the Corrupted Gauntlet, and skilling like wrath runes and elf pickpocketing. On the OSRS Wiki money making guide the ones below run from about 2.3M to about 10.4M GP an hour, and a few specialist methods go higher.

If your account is still working toward 90s and Dragon Slayer II, start with the mid-level money guide. For a boss-by-boss view, the bosses for money article is the PvM map. This page is for choosing between the top methods once you have the unlocks.

The wiki's numbers assume a fast player in strong gear. The sections below give the figures first, then what each one assumes, so you can tell which you would actually hit.

Pick Your Method: High-Level Money Makers

Thirteen high-level methods from the OSRS Wiki money making guide, sorted by the wiki's hourly profit. Requirements are the wiki's recommended stats and the quest that gates each method. Risk here means how much a bad week or a death costs you.

GP/hr figures are the wiki's at 14 October 2026 and move with Grand Exchange prices.

Read the table in two halves. Above about 5M, every method leans on rare drops, a twisted bow or scythe-tier weapon, or a team. Below that, Vorkath, the Corrupted Gauntlet and the two skilling methods pay more evenly from hour to hour. Frost dragons are the only method here the wiki rates low intensity, and they still clear about 1.9M off task.

Vorkath vs Zulrah vs Corrupted Gauntlet

These three are the usual first big earners once an account reaches 90 combat, and the ones players argue about most. Here they are on the wiki's own numbers, from the Vorkath, Zulrah and Corrupted Gauntlet money making pages.

Verdict: pick Vorkath for the steadiest income on cheap supplies, pick the Corrupted Gauntlet if you want no gear risk and can live with seedless streaks near 2.0M an hour, and pick Zulrah only once Masori, Ancestral and a top ranged weapon get you near 40 kills an hour.

Phantom Muspah sits above all three at about 5.7M, but the wiki's only Muspah money making page is for a twisted bow, and about 3.0M of that hourly figure is the expected value of a quarter of a venator shard. Treat it as a twisted bow method, not a fourth option for the same account.

What the Top Figures Assume

The 6M+ methods are real, but each figure is built on a specific setup. Check that you match it before you plan a month around one.

1. 1

   Theatre of Blood, about 9.3M:

   trios at 3 raids an hour with no deaths, using a Scythe of Vitur, twisted bow, toxic blowpipe and Sanguinesti staff.

2. 2

   Duke Sucellus, about 8.8M:

   34 kills an hour with maxed combat, and it assumes you finish the Soulreaper axe, which needs a similar rare drop from three other bosses. Without the axe, the wiki expects much lower profit.

3. 3

   Chambers of Xeric, about 8.1M:

   3 raids an hour at 33,000 points each, and the wiki says nearly all of the profit comes from unique drops.

4. 4

   Doom of Mokhaiotl, about 10.4M:

   6 runs through levels 1–8 an hour with a twisted bow, which the wiki puts at about 12.5% more damage than a scorching bow.

5. 5

   Phantom Muspah, about 5.7M:

   25 kills an hour with a twisted bow, or 30 if you add magic during the melee phases.

6. 6

   Tombs of Amascut Expert, about 3.6M:

   solo at raid level 300, 1.75 raids an hour, a unique in roughly 1 of 22.5 raids, with Osmumten's fang, twisted bow, blowpipe and Sanguinesti staff.

Miss the gear or the team and the number drops fast. If you are choosing which raid to learn, the raids overview compares them on entry requirements.

Requirements

Most high-level money sits behind a handful of quests and one or two big skill levels. These are the gates for the methods in the table above.

Setup

Setup is a loadout you can rebuild half-asleep. If every trip needs a spreadsheet, you do not have a setup yet.

1. 1

   Freeze a bank preset for each method so a trip starts in under a minute.

2. 2

   Decide trip-end rules before you leave: supplies left, a unique drop or a time box.

   At Vorkath the wiki expects 4–6 kills per trip with 90+ stats.

3. 3

   Carry a rune pouch with thrall runes once you have A Kingdom Divided.

4. 4

   Pick food on price, not habit:

   the wiki notes that switching between manta rays, dark crabs and tuna potatoes at Vorkath can move profit by upwards of 250,000 an hour.

5. 5

   Keep passive stacks running.

   A ranarr herb run takes about 6 minutes for about 187K profit, every 90 minutes, on the wiki's figures.

Route and Process

A sensible order for most mains, based on what each method asks for:

1. 1

   Vorkath

   right after Dragon Slayer II. Cheap supplies, steady drops, and it teaches trip discipline.

2. 2

   Corrupted Gauntlet

   once Song of the Elves is done. No gear needed, and the enhanced crystal weapon seed can become a bow of Faerdhinen, which speeds up the ranged bosses after it.

3. 3

   Alchemical Hydra or Zulrah

   as your Slayer level and ranged gear catch up. Hydra is about 3.9M on task; Zulrah trails Vorkath even at 40 kills an hour (about 3.2M), so treat it as a change of pace.

4. 4

   Desert Treasure II bosses and raids

   once you have the stats and a team. These carry the 6–9M figures, with the assumptions listed above.

5. 5

   Frost dragons

   on nights you are tired. Tired PvM costs you supplies and death fees.

Costs to Subtract

The wiki's figures already take off supplies at its assumed kill rate. Your real costs differ when you are slower or you die.

• Supplies per hour at the wiki's rates: Vorkath with a lance about 435K, Phantom Muspah about 1.02M, Zulrah on max efficiency about 1.7M, of which about 455K is Zul-andra teleports.
• Death fees: 100,000 coins to Torfinn at Vorkath, and 100,000 coins at Zulrah once you pass 50 kills.
• Learning time: your first 50 kills at a new boss will not reach these rates.
• Grand Exchange tax: the wiki's outputs are already after tax, so do not take it off twice.

How to Calculate Realistic Profit

One purple or one visage is not a rate. Use the wiki figure as the top of your range and work down from your own numbers.

1. 1

   Time a sample big enough for the drop table:

   dozens of kills, or several hours of skilling.

2. 2

   Multiply your kills per hour by the wiki's average loot per kill, not by what you happened to get.

3. 3

   Subtract the supplies you actually used, counted from your bank tab.

4. 4

   Split out the expected value of rare drops so you know what a dry week pays.

Worked example: a Corrupted Gauntlet completion averages 716,391 coins on the wiki, but only 334,931 when no seed drops. At the wiki's 6 completions an hour that is about 4.3M on average before tax (the wiki's after-tax figure is about 4.2M) and about 2.0M on a dry streak. At 4 completions an hour, your dry-streak income is about 1.3M.

Ironman Relevance

Ironmen get much smaller numbers for the same content, because drops are only worth what they alch or save. The wiki's Ironman money making guide lists Vorkath at about 1.5M an hour with Osmumten's fang, rune dragons at about 1.0M and the Corrupted Gauntlet at about 900K.

For an iron, the Corrupted Gauntlet is really a bow of Faerdhinen grind, and the wiki says it stops being efficient once you have the bow and six armour seeds. The full iron picture is in our ironman money making guide.

Common Mistakes

Endgame players lose more GP to wrong assumptions than to bad drop tables.

• Planning around the Theatre of Blood's 9.3M without the wiki's setup: a scythe, a twisted bow, a trio and no deaths across 3 raids an hour.
• Counting rare-drop value as income. About 3.0M of Phantom Muspah's 5.7M is venator shard value, so a dry week pays far less.
• Comparing bosses on gross loot. Zulrah on max efficiency spends about 1.7M an hour on supplies, roughly four times what Vorkath with a lance uses.
• Dying while learning in your best gear. Every death at Vorkath costs 100,000 coins, and so does every death at Zulrah after 50 kills.
• Skipping the unlocks the rates assume: an ornate pool at 82 Construction, Rigour and Augury, and thralls. Without them you will not see the wiki's kills per hour.

When to Move On

Switch methods when one of these is true:

• Your measured rate is below the dry-streak rate of another method you have. If your Zulrah sits at 20 kills an hour (about 1.8M) and you have Song of the Elves, a seedless Corrupted Gauntlet at about 2.0M already beats it.
• A method's prices drop after an update. Re-open the wiki page instead of trusting last month's figure.
• You are ready to specialise in one raid or one boss and stop rotating.
