Money making guide/Combat (F2P)

This guide is for making money from combat. Please note that unlike many other money makers, making money out of combat has higher risk.

As a general rule, pick a strategy that can easily be done without food or minimal food. Remember that food costs money and/or time, and that has to be accounted for whenever using combat to make money. Players with less money can fish or farm the food by themselves, while players with more money can buy food at the Grand Exchange. Tuna is good for buying as it has a low cost for the amount of Hitpoints it heals, although swordfish for free-to-play and sharks for members are better when fighting high-leveled monsters.

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 you can sell old equipment to help pay for the cost of new items, if need be.

The following list details monsters that do not require a Slayer level to fight or kill. For making money with Slayer see this article.

{| class="wikitable" !Effectiveness!!Recommended combat level!!Members only?!!Details!!Other requirement
 * None||No||Chickens can be killed in Lumbridge farms, or in the farm south of Falador. The raw chickens and bones sell for about and  coins each. They also drop feathers used for fly fishing.
 * None||No||Cows can be killed in the Lumbridge cow fields or Gnomecopter field. Cowhides sell for around coins each to crafters and you can bury or sell the bones. Raw meat from the cows sell for  coins each, but also can be used to gain Cooking experience. You can also tan cowhides into leather, which sell for around  coins each, or hardleather, which sell for  coins each.
 * Level 20||No||Wizards found in the Wizard's Tower drop wizard robes, which sell for around coins each in the Grand Exchange. The robes can be banked close by at the Draynor bank.
 * Level 20||No||In PvP worlds, you can fight other players and try to earn the best drops, which go for many millions of coins. Lower levels can also gather bones from PvP worlds and sell them for each. This is not recommended for higher levels as the higher your level, the greater chance of being attacked. If you are PvPing for drops, you must risk at least 25,000 coins worth of items (75,000 coins for members), not including protected items.
 * Level 35||No||Hill giants in the Edgeville Dungeon are a common training/money making monster, as they drop big bones, which sell for around coins each. They occasionally drop limpwurt roots, which sell for about  coins each. Hill giants also have low Defence so they are not difficult to kill. A down side of this method is that Hill Giants are normally very busy on F2P Worlds.
 * Level 40||No||Dark Wizards are a good source of money as they frequently drop runes. Look for them immediately south of Varrock in the stone circle, at the Dark Wizards' Tower and just north of Goblin village in the Wilderness.
 * Level 50||No||Kill moss giants in Varrock sewers. They have several good drops, including gems and big bones. This area may be less crowded on PvP worlds, but if you play on one of these worlds, watch out for player killers. If you've completed Dragon Slayer you can also fight the moss giants on Crandor Isle.
 * Level 70 (group) Level 85 (solo) (it is possible to be 65 members but you need dragon) ||No||Cockroach soldiers can be killed in the Stronghold of Player Safety for the valuable items they drop, including various rune items. These can be sold or converted into coins through High Level Alchemy. This is a very good profit for free-players but not recommended for members around this level, as better alternatives are available.
 * Level 75+ (food needed)||Yes||Killing Green Dragons in the Chaos Tunnels (or Level 20 Wilderness North of Lumber Yard, Varrok Teleport tabs speed up process), Take Dragon Bones, Dragon Hides, herbs and nature runes, each trip profits 50k each trip takes around 10-30 minutes (depending on combat level) Bring Tuna if your 80+ and Lobsters if your below that.
 * Level 85+ (food needed)||Yes||Killing Ogre statues in the Bandos throne room (the chosen commander quest must be completed) can be a very profitable means of income. They regularly drop cut gems (sapphire up to diamond) and also mystic earth staff and granite maces each of which can be sold for around 20,000 coins a piece. Level 85+ combat is recommended as to max put the amount of time you can stay (they can hit high), a full bag of lobsters is also recommended. To get there you can use the fairy rings using the code BLQ. You can easily make 100,000 coins a trip, each taking around 20-30 minutes each.
 * Level 90||No (yes for some drops)||Ankous, on the fourth level of the Stronghold of Security, drop many stackable items such as death runes, blood runes, noted pure essence and noted mithril ore, as well as dropping battlestaves worth coins each. It is also possible to safe-spot with Ranged, Magic or a halberd, which is highly recommended for lower-level players. Extremely recommended to bring a Salve amulet for more exp and faster killing.
 * Level 115+ (Maxed out combat skills strongly suggested)||Yes||Bosses in the God Wars Dungeon have great drops such as Godsword hilt, Saradomin Sword, and other expensive armor and weapons selling for over 10m. Being in a clan is strongly recommended as the monsters can hit 60+. The drops however are uncommon.
 * Level 50||No||Kill moss giants in Varrock sewers. They have several good drops, including gems and big bones. This area may be less crowded on PvP worlds, but if you play on one of these worlds, watch out for player killers.
