Money making is a task which RuneScape Classic players will most likely partake in if they wish to progress through the game. However, with many different methods of making money and many place in Gielinor to see, making money can become another fun part of the game. There are three broad categories of money making methods pertaining to the activity involved, they are: combat, skilling, and miscellaneous.

See coins for a list of monsters who drop coins.

Combat[]

Perhaps the simplest and most basic method of obtaining money is through use of the combat system. Monsters can be killed for loot, and players may duel one another for loot or fight each other for drops in the Wilderness. Technically, nothing is required to make money with combat skills, but depending on both the player's level and the target's level it is advised to bring various combinations of weapons, armour, food, and potions.
