OSRS Runecrafting Money Making Guide: Best GP For F2P & P2P

Most runecrafting methods only require essence, which are quite cheap. These can be used to craft high-level runes, worth a good amount of GP, making runecrafting quite profitable even with very little capital and without having a high level.


Abyss

The Abyss is an area located in the Abyssal Space, it contains rifts that directly access the runic altars without a talisman, except for the astral and wrath altars. Several runecrafting money-making methods involve using the Abyss to access the respective altars. Players can enter the Abyss by teleporting with the mage of zamorak in the wilderness. The inner ring of the Abyss contains rifts that lead to the altars below

Abyss

  • Cosmic rift: Requires completion of the Lost City quest.
  • Law rift: Requires completion of the Troll Stronghold quest. Additionally, players cannot bring prohibited equipment when entering, similar to Entrana.
  • Death rift: Requires completion of the Mourning's End Part II quest.
  • Blood rift: Requires completion of the Sins of the Father quest.
  • Soul rift: Requires using a dark essence block or fragments on the rift after crafting soul runes at Kourend's Soul Altar.

For all methods that require you to enter the Abyss, follow the instructions below;

Note that, you will enter into the wilderness to teleport through the Mage of Zamorak to the Abyss, so ensure not to risk expensive items. Ensure you equip a pickaxe and amulet of glory. Run to the location from Edgeville, mine through the rocks in the Abyss to enter the correct rift in the inner circle, and teleport to Edgeville after crafting the runes. You should recharge your pouches after every nine trips at the dark mage to prevent the giant pouch from degrading.
