Money making guide/Combat (F2P)

For the P2P guide click here.

This guide is for making money from Combat-involved skills as a Free Player.

As a general rule, pick a strategy that can easily be done without food or using minimal food. Remember that food costs money and/or time to cook, and this has to be accounted for when using Combat to earn money. Players with less money can fish the food by themselves, while players with more money can buy food at the Grand Exchange. Tuna is good for consuming when low on cash, as it has a low cost for the amount of life points it heals, although swordfish are better when fighting high-levelled monsters (for those who have more money to spare).

Part of making money through Combat involves the speed at which players can kill the monsters themselves. Wear the best equipment you can when doing this, and sell old equipment to help pay for the cost of new equipment. Obtaining a higher combat level will also increase the money-making rate.

The following list details monsters that do not require a Slayer (a skill which can only be accessed by members) level to fight or kill. For making money with Slayer please direct your attention to this article.
