Money Making

Revision as of 01:12, 31 May 2022 by Auron956 (talk | contribs) (→‎Woodcutting: Update method calculations)


For beginners, the method with the least amount of required skills for its maximum rate is the Fishing method. The Skill requirements listed in each method are the minimum required, and you will often struggle to reach the maximum rates without higher levels in the respective skills for things like Skillcapes, or the ability to make boosts from other Skills.

Thieving

  This strategy was calculated for v1.0.3 and may have changed in newer updates.

Thieving Princess and Fletching Jadebolts (24,740k/hr max)

Requirements

  •   Level 15
  •   Level 10
  •   Level 99
  •   Level 99

Improves GP Rate

These boosts are in addition to the ones above and are specifically for this method.

Name Effect
    Level 99 +100% GP from Princess
+174 Stealth vs Princess
  Fletching Skillcape Doubles items received from Fletching
  Leprechaun+  Devil +50 Flat GP from Thieving
50% Chance for 2x GP
35% Chance for 4x Items
15% Chance for nothing
  Crown of Rhaelyx and its   Charge Stones +25% Resource Preservation
  Agility Obstacles providing Resource Preservation

Method

  1.   Steal   Jadestones from the   Princess
  2.   Mine   Iron Ore
  3.   Smith   Iron Bars
  4.   Forge   Headless Bolts
  5.   Fletch   Jadestone Bolts
  6. Sell common drops. Use   Item Alchemy III along with any available GP boosts on drops worth more than 15,000 

Thieving is not better than the   Dragon Javelin method by default. Both methods heavily depend on the buffs from items, passives, and skills. The most important boosts for this method are all buffs to Stealth and   Thieving Interval Reductions. Once   Princess is survivable, the next most important boost is the   Leprechaun+  Devil synergy to increase the number of   Jadestones gathered.

High resource preservation and item doubling during   Fletching is very beneficial. Using   Crown of Rhaelyx and its   Charge Stones is strongly recommended here. Without most of the buffs, earnings can be as low as 4,000,000  per hour.

Thieving Knight with Leprechaun + Monkey Synergy (16,476k/hr max)

  This strategy was calculated for v1.0.3 and may have changed in newer updates.

This is in alternative method requiring fewer skills and boosts to get viable results.

Requirements

Improves GP Rate

These boosts are in addition to the ones above and are specifically for this method.

Name Effect
    Level 99 +100% GP from Knight
+174 Stealth vs Knight

Method

This method relies on the increased sell values of common drops from the   Leprechaun+  Monkey synergy: "Upon receiving a Common Drop from Thieving, automatically sell it for 1500% of its base sale price."

  1.   Craft   Leprechaun and   Monkey Tablets and equip them
  2.   Steal from the   Knight
  3. Sell all unsold drops. Use   Item Alchemy III along with any available GP boosts on drops worth more than 10,000 

Without most of the buffs, earnings can be as low as 8,000,000  per hour.

Rope Swing Monkey Bars Pit Jump Gap Jump Mountain Climb Tree Balance Heat Trap Tree Hang Ice Jump Dragon Fight Pillar of Generosity

Using the obstacles listed above and all available boosts results in a maximum of 59% Agility Interval Reduction and +195% GP. The total duration for this course is 79s, which is reduced by 59% to 32.39s. The total GP is 15,187 , which is increased by 195% to 44,802 , for a total of 4,979,498  per hour. Although Agility cannot achieve the higher GP rates of other methods, its main advantage is being extremely passive. Once set up, it can be left running and make GP with zero effort.

Fishing (Max 4,421GPk/hr)

- Main article: Fishing/Moneymaking


 
Only the minimum profit is guaranteed when following the requirements of this guide.
The maximum profit can only be obtained when following all requirements and recommendations.

Profit will increase the more closely the guide is followed. However, the increase in profit may not be in proportion to the amount of recommended items and boosts used.

Fish for   Raw Whales if using the   Octopus +   Pig Summoning synergy, or   Magic Fish if not. Each piece of equipment will give a substantial boost to profit per hour. Sell all the items listed above to the shop for profit.

With the   Throne of the Herald expansion, higher level fish may yield higher profit than base game fish.   Raw Static Jellyfish is the first fish with greater GP/h than whales. Alternately, prioritizing fish with higher XP rates will get you to the most profitable high-level fish such as   Raw Mystic Shark faster. Fish GP/h is listed in the   Fishing page.

With the   Atlas of Discovery expansion,   The Fisherman's Bounty point of interest in   Cartography provides several useful buffs to this method.

Mining with Gem Gloves (470k/hr usual, 1350k/hr max)

  This strategy was calculated for v1.0.3 and may have changed in newer updates.

Requirements

Improves GP Rate

Name Effect
  Dragon Pickaxe -50% Mining Time, +7% Chance of obtaining 2 ore
  Master of Nature -15% Base Mining Interval (additive with Dragon Pickaxe to a total of -65% Mining Time)
    Level 99/    Level 99 +15% Chance of obtaining 2 ore
  Aorpheat's Signet Ring +10% chance to gain double resources
  Ring of Wealth +7% chance to gain double resources
  Mining Skillcape +1 Coal Ore per Action
  Terra Up to +15% Chance to Double Items in Mining and +15% Chance to receive gems or +15% chance to do zero damage
  Perfect Swing Potion IV +80% Chance to deal no Damage to a Mining Node
  Miner's Helmet +3% Chance to deal no Damage to a Mining Node
  Merchant's Permit Gem Gloves only cost 450 instead of 500k
25% Mining Mastery Pool Checkpoint Reduced Ore respawn time by 10%
50% Mining Mastery Pool Checkpoint Reduce Mining interval by 0.2s
95% Mining Mastery Pool Checkpoint All Rocks gain +10 Maximum HP
  Cool Rock +5 Mining Node HP

Method

This method is recommended to use if you play   Adventure and there's no better money-making method at hand.

  1. Buy   Gem Gloves,
  2. Mine   Adamantite Ore or anything below it until you unlock it,
  3. Sell gems and ores that you got.

The method relies on the   Gem Gloves that increase the gems drop chance to 100% when mining anything but the   Rune Essence. The average value of a Gem is 381.25 , while a single charge of the Gem Gloves costs only 250 . Thus 131.25  of profit is earned per mining action from gems.

With the   Dragon Pickaxe and     Level 50, you will get around 470,000  per hour.

A fully juiced setup with the   Dragonite Ore will give around 1,350,000  per hour.
Please note that this setup already includes the   Master of Nature which is unlocked after beating the   Earth God Dungeon. This upgrade is quite essential to reach GP rates this high. Players at this point have probably already better money making methods at hand. Without the   Master of Nature upgrade and only   Perfect Swing Potion III the GP rate already drops to 787,000 .
The calculation does not include any   Astrology modifiers.

Details
The results were calculated with the Melvor Idle Rate and Resource Calculator created by Kidbiz20#2026.

To check your own setup, do the following:

  1. Copy the spreadsheet to your Google Drive.
  2. On the Equipment tab, specify for Mining that you wear Gem Gloves.
  3. On the Mining tab, set Current Experience to unlock the ores, Ores masteries, and other things that you have.
  4. Specify any additional things in the sheet if you want to, like pets and so on.
  5. You should see your gains in the kGP/h column of the Mining tab.

Method

The following setup will maximize total profits when all things are considered, note that a lot of the optional improvements marginally contribute to the final GP rate.

for every hour of fletching intended:

It is recommended to fletch for many hours at a time as to minimize the cost of switching between agility obstacles

Ratios

For each hour of Fletching you'll need to spend (on average):

and it'll generate 50,297 Dragon Javelins, selling for 32,693,142 GP and leave as byproducts:

and consume:

It is recommended to first combine   Circlet of Rhaelyx and   Jewel of Rhaelyx into   Crowns of Rhaelyx, then convert the crowns into GP by using   Item Alchemy III while utilizing GP boosts. This will add (per hour of fletching) 0.02 seconds to sell crowns and 0.04 seconds to sell the leftover   Jewels of Rhaelyx. Combined with the sale of other leftover elements, this will result in a maximum possible profit of approximately 18,265,154  per hour, all things considered.

Chopping Magic and Mahogany Logs (Max 2,933 k/hr)

Requirements

  •   Level 75

Method

Simply cut down   Magic Logs and   Mahogany Logs, selling the logs and   Bird Nests for profit.

Expected Resources Per Hour

The maximum rates assume:

Per hour, this yields the following:

Details
The results were determined by using this save followed by the execution of game.testForOffline(1000) from the browser console. To run offline progression for 1,000 hours, a script which extends the maximum offline time beyond its usual limits or a modification to the getOfflineTimeDiff function must be used.

Chopping Logs With Bird Nests Potions (Max 7,847 k/hr)

Requirements

  •   Level 10
  •   Level 1

Please note: Although the requirements seem low, using   Bird Nest Potion IV and minimum action time (  Dragon Axe,   Woodcutting Skillcape and   Master of Nature god upgrade) are advised or else the GP rate drops significantly.

Method

Cut down   Normal Logs, selling the logs and   Bird Nests for profit. A portion of the nests can be opened for   Potato Seeds to make more potions if required.

Expected Resources Per Hour

The maximum rates assume the same setup in terms of equipment, upgrades, and so on as the above method for Magic and Mahogany Logs.

Per hour, this yields the following:

Combat (~18,750k/hr)

  This strategy was calculated for v1.0.3 and may have changed in newer updates.

Combat can yield some of the highest GP rates in the game.   Magic is the most profitable, but it can differ based on the gear and skills in your possession. Assuming   Level 85 and   Cloudburst Staff, Magic is almost always superior to Melee and   Ranged.

Calculating the specific GP/hr depends heavily on your stats, gear, and buffs. The Combat Simulator can help you to calculate the gains for your build. The exact rates are difficult to determine, but the best targets, in rough descending order by profit and tier are:

The two most important items to make this method good are   Chapeau Noir and   Aorpheat's Signet Ring.

To stress again, calculating the specific GP/hr depends heavily on your stats, gear, and buffs. The Combat Simulator can help you to calculate the specific gains for your specific build.

The most profitable target is the   Infernal Stronghold because it drops a lot of raw GP that gets doubled with the   Aorpheat's Signet Ring. The raw GP gained with the ring is 250,000 per clear.

It also drops the   Infernal Cape and the   Infernal Core that will net you 402,400 additional GP per clear if sold with Item Alchemy III.

For one clear   Infernal Stronghold will yield a total of 250,000 + 402,400 = 652,400 GP per clear.

Do note that all God Dungeons should net around about 6-10,000k/h minimum while farming them with appropriate gear, so if you're working on or near these dungeons, you could be looking at a nice payday without needing to rely on other methods to earn GP.

Some of the setups are listed below, but it is (yes, again) advised that you use the Combat Simulator to check your build. By default, all of the listed setups are 99 in all skills, have optimized   Agility obstacles, and have only 30% accuracy from   Astrology

Each setup will have a second listed amount, this will be the gp/h with standardized rates applied to all consumables (excluding food) in combat sim.
