== Smithing Dragon Platebodies (Max 2117k/hr) ==

{{OldStrategy|0.14}}

=== Requirements ===

* Making [[Diamond|diamonds]] into [[Herblore#Combat Potions|Diamond Luck Potions]] with the [[Herblore Skillcape]] more than doubles their value. This requires:

* [[Aorpheats Signet Ring]] for a 10% chance to double ore, bar, platebody, and potion gains

* [[Herblore#Skill Potions|Perfect Swing Potions]] to increase the idle rate that ore can be mined at.

* Increasing [[Mastery]] Level of items provide additional resource-saving and doubling benefits.

# Gather [[Dragonite Ore]], [[Runite Ore]] and [[Coal Ore]] in a 1:2:6 ratio. This should be done wearing the [[Mining Skillcape]]. Depending on [[Mastery]] Levels and whether or not [[Herblore#Combat Potions|Diamond Luck Potions]] are being made, either [[Gem Gloves]] or [[Mining Gloves]] should be worn.

# Make [[Dragonite Bar|Dragonite Bars]] while wearing the [[Smithing Skillcape]].

# Make [[Dragon Platebody|Dragon Platebodies]]

# Make the [[Diamond|diamonds]] into [[Herblore#Combat Potions|Diamond Luck Potions]] with the [[Herblore Skillcape]] if possible.

# Sell the [[Mining#Gems|Gems]], [[Herblore#Combat Potions|Diamond Luck Potions]] and [[Dragon Platebody|Dragon Platebodies]] for profit

=== GP Rates with different Equipment and Mastery ===

The mastery in the tables below assume that every item has that mastery level. Note that the time to gather the ingredients for and make [[Herblore#Skill Potions|Perfect Swing Potions]] has not been included in the calculation due to it being negligible. It is also assumed that the [[Barrentoe Herb|Barrentoe Herbs]] for creating [[Herblore#Combat Potions|Diamond Luck Potions]] is grown concurrently during the money-making method, and do not add additional time.

=== Calculating the GP Rate ===

The GP rate can be calculated by finding the profit of completing a single platebody action and dividing by the time to complete the action and gather/craft all sub-components.

{{Main|Reference=Math:Dragon_Platebodies}}

 

== Fishing ==

=== Raw Whales (Max {{GP|1746}}k/hr) ===

==== Improves GP Rate ====

! Description

| {{UpgradeIcon|Dragon Fishing Rod}} || The strongest [[Fishing#Fishing Rods|Fishing Rod]], reduces fishing catch time by 40%.

| {{ItemIcon|Amulet of Fishing}} || Reduces fishing catch time by 20%. (Stacks multiplicatively with Fishing Rod bonus)

| {{ItemIcon|Fishing Skillcape}} || Doubles the number of fish caught.

| {{ItemIcon|Aorpheats Signet Ring}} || Increases the chance of doubling the number of fish caught by 10%.

| {{PetIcon|Pudding Duckie}} || Increases the chance of doubling the number of fish caught by 5%.

| {{MasteryReq|Raw Whale|99}} || Doubles the number of fish caught.

| [[Fishing#Mastery Pool Checkpoints|95% Fishing Mastery Pool Checkpoint]] || Provides a 25% chance to receive an additional random special item whenever special items are received.

NOTE: The Fishing Skillcape and Level 99 Mastery bonuses will stack, causing at least four fish to be caught each time. The Signet Ring and pet bonuses will provide a 15% chance of catching eight fish.

* {{ItemIcon|Raw Whale|qty=2328}}, worth ({{GP|750}} each.)

Equip [[Fishing]] gear and fish for [[Raw Whale|Whales]]. Each piece of equipment will give a substantial boost to profit per hour. 65 Whale Mastery or 25% Fishing Mastery Pool Checkpoint are the most important targets, either of which will remove the junk catch chance. [[Fishing]] is the most profitable single-skill money making method, though it gets outclassed by the multiplicative benefits of the combinations above. This method does not include extra gold gained from special chances which would boost profit per hour marginally. Maximum gp/hr rates assume all improvements to GP rate are obtained and in use.

Players who do not yet have level 95 fishing may also choose to consider the following options: (Note that the numbers below include the boost from the Fishing Skillcape, and as such the actual profit per hour will be substantially lower for players who do not have it)

== Fletching Magic Longbows (Max 975k/hr) ==

{{OldStrategy|0.14}}

* [[Multi-Tree]] Upgrade

* (Optional) [[Aorpheats Signet Ring]]

By utilizing the output doubling of the [[Fletching Skillcape]], the value of [[Magic Logs|magic logs]] can be more than quadrupled; it is doubled once making unstrung bows, and another time making strung bows. Profits can be further increased by using [[Skilled Fletching Potion IV]] and [[Aorpheats Signet Ring]]. To calculate the maximum [[GP]] per hour, 99 mastery level will be assumed. The entire process is as follows:

# Cut [[Yew Logs|yew logs]] and [[Magic Logs|magic logs]] simultaneously while wearing the [[Woodcutting Skillcape]]. The yew logs should be sold.

# Purchase [[Bowstring|bowstrings]] from the [[Shop]] and fletch the unstrung bows into [[Magic Longbow]].

Without using [[Aorpheats Signet Ring]] and [[Skilled Fletching Potion IV]] profits are around 624k/hr, however, using the ring and potion increases profits by 351k/hr.

* Mining and selling {{ItemIcon|Adamantite Ore}} provides the highest GP rate when using [[Perfect Swing Potion III]] and below. When using {{ItemIcon|Perfect Swing Potion IV}}, {{ItemIcon|Dragonite Ore}} provides the highest GP rate.

This method relies on {{ItemIcon|Gem Gloves}} increasing the gem chance to 100% when mining (excluding {{ItemIcon|Rune Essence}}). The average value of a [[Mining#Gems|Gem]] is {{GP|381.25}}, while a single charge of the Gem Gloves costs only {{GP|250}}. Thus {{GP|131.25}} of profit is earned per mining action from gems. It is recommended to use this method while gathering the large quantities of ore required to train the {{Skill|Smithing}} skill.

With the {{UpgradeIcon|Dragon Pickaxe}}, {{UpgradeIcon|Master of Nature}}, {{MasteryReq|Dragonite Ore|99}}, and {{ItemIcon|Perfect Swing Potion IV}}s, and the {{ItemIcon|Mining Skillcape}}, an average of 2,423 {{ItemIcon|Dragonite Ore}} mining actions can be done per hour. Between the ore, extra ore from the pickaxe and mastery double ore chance, the gems from the gloves, and the coal, {{GP|279}} profit is earned per action on average, for a total of {{GP|728960}} profit per hour.

With the {{UpgradeIcon|Dragon Pickaxe}} and {{MasteryReq|Adamantite Ore|50}}, an average of 2,117 {{ItemIcon|Adamantite Ore}} mining actions can be done per hour. Between the ore, extra ore from the pickaxe and mastery double ore chance, and the gems from the gloves, {{GP|219}} profit is earned per action on average, for a total of {{GP|486114}} profit per hour.

==Woodcutting==

{{OldStrategy|0.18.2}}

==== Improves Gp Rate ====

* Higher tier [[Shop#Axes|axes]] increase the rate that trees are chopped

* [[Herblore#Skill Potions|Bird Nest Potions]] increase the rate at which [[Bird Nest|bird nests]] are gained

* [[Clue Chasers Insignia]] can further increase the rate of [[Bird Nest|bird nests]]

* The [[Multi-Tree]] upgrade allows the player to also cut a second log for additional profit

=== Chopping Magic and Yew Logs (Max {{GP|1006}}k/hr) ===

==== Requirements ====

* {{SkillReq|Woodcutting|75}}

==== Expected Resources Per Hour ====

The maximum rates assume Dragon Axe, Multi-Tree, Signet, Clue Chaser's Insignia, Beavis, Master of Nature, Woodcutting Skillcape, 95% Woodcutting Mastery Pool Checkpoint and 99 log mastery.
