Starting a new account in "Old School Runescape" can be daunting for a lot of reasons, such as a ton of content to play and having no money to buy anything useful.
This classic MMORPG has been around for a long time, and players have mostly found out the best ways to make nearly any aspect of the game fun and rewarding. This includes making money that you can use to purchase epic armor and weapons.
If you're just starting out, you may have difficulty figuring out where you should go first and what to do while you're still low-level. Making a ton of gold is arguably one of the simplest but most difficult parts of "Old School Runescape."
This money-making guide shows beginners some useful methods of getting gold in the early stages of the game. Look through the list to see which ones you prefer to do, depending on your playstyle.
Completing the Stronghold of Security
The Stronghold of Security was added to "Old School Runescape" as a way to teach players how to keep their accounts safe from hackers. The entrance of this dungeon is located in the middle of the Barbarian Village, according to Screen Rant.
While this dungeon offers a lot of useful advice, it also gives low-level players a good way to farm gold and items. Additionally, completing the Stronghold of Security rewards you with 10,000 gold coins, which makes for a good start.
Spinning Flax
Early in the game, if you are paying a subscription, you gain access to a money-making method that can push your income through the roof. This method, which requires at least level 10 in Crafting, allows you to turn Flax into Bowstrings.
The good thing about this method is that it is relatively easy and simple while also proving to be an effective money maker. Bowstrings are often in high demand among players, and you can sell the ones that you craft on the Grand Exchange.
Farming Cowhides
One of the creatures that players can encounter in "Old School Runescape" are cows, which drop bones, meat, and cowhide. The latter, in particular, is useful for a lot of people who are leveling up their Crafting skill.
This means that they are always in high demand, and farming them can be very profitable. An easy area for low-level players is in Lumbridge, just north of the gate to Al-Kharid.
A lot of weaker players usually train their combat here, and a lot of them don't pick up the drops, Screen Rant said.
Killing Monsters
While obvious, killing monsters, even at lower levels, can turn into a profit at some point throughout your adventures in "Old School Runescape." There are many different creatures in the game that can drop valuable resources that you can sell to shops or other players.
This is arguably the bread-and-butter money-making method for a lot of newcomers to the game who are not yet familiar with the various features and mechanics that are available.
It is also a fun way of earning gold, particularly if you have friends you can party up with, according to Pocket Gamer.
