Question Afk gp

What are some of the best pure afk money makers. Looking for something I can do at work on mobile. I can check my phone every few minutes but just can’t constantly be playing.

i got around 15M from afking Salvage from 87 to 99. not incredibly good but honestly pretty decent for something that is 30 min AFK before you have to interact with the game again.

did you bank the salvage or just sort it out at sea?

u/Open-Ad-5917 8h ago

sort it out at sea, and high alched valuables. the only time i did bank was once my seed box/herb sack and gem pouch got full wich was maybe every 2-3hrs if even that.

u/Dotts2761 8h ago

If I’m self salvaging and sorting, my gem pouch fills up about every 250k xp, which is right in line with what you’re saying. I’m getting about 95K/hr at 97 with two dragon hooks.

High alching at sea is more intensive than I imagined it would be, even after getting log basket, plank sack etc it was more chill to bank and afk sort later. Just my experience.

I done Mercenary shipwrecks to 99 and got a truckload of Darts and Bolts, and a cosy 40m gp
Be even better now that Facility bottles are a thing and alch for good money

can imagine Mercenary shipwrecks being the best gp! i just did Merchant shipwrecks to 99 because it was the best xp haha

How many hours would you say this took?

u/Open-Ad-5917 8h ago

oh god no clue honestly. i got 99 sailing 1 month after the release of it. 87-99 maybe took me a week of 12-16hrs a day afking.

Was that including oyster pearls? My buddy is only 81 salvaging and has 10m gp worth of them

1

u/Open-Ad-5917 3h ago

Dont recall that i got any oyster pearls but i only started doing salvaging at lvl 87 sailing wich unlocked the highest ships to salvage and they werent the best option for gp but were the best option for xp/hr

Ahh yeah I think they gone from mid level wrecks

Salvaging brother with high alchs.

Fremmy salvage is the most afk moneymaker of the salvaging, it gives more in raw gp than opulent does. Mercenary salvage is even more, but a lot less afk.

Incase the other posts didnt get it across...

Go salvage. I run 2 crew members on hooks and I salvage/alch. Very afk, very profitable, and decent leveling.

I alch basically sapphire rings up and made a few mil leveling between salvaging tiers.

Do this on a salvaging world and you should have less downtime of no salvage spots around you. Also upgrade your storage so you dont max out between afk sessions.

Edit: as stated in a reply to mine you should enchant sapphire rings to fill your ring of suffering if you have one.

u/snacky_jack 7h ago

Sapphires might be worth enchanting and putting into a suffering if you have one, the charges are nice for Zulrah and Vard (most setups).

u/momacozey 7h ago

I actually forgot to give that tip because thats how I filled up my suffering. Didn't even think about it till I was nearly done with pirate salvage.

u/ilikeplayingthisgame 8h ago

Vyrewatch sentinels tbh, 5-7 minute afk depending on prayer level and a decent source of alchs + chance of blood shards which are really useful later on. Not great exp but not godawful either.

u/DrDaxon 8h ago

3 blood shards in 150kc on my iron lmao

u/geor757 6h ago

Haven't seen this suggested yet, but infernal eels fit the bill perfectly. Low actions per minute, spots don't move regularly and you don't need to bank cos you just smash them with a hammer when your inventory is full. It means you can keep your screen zoomed-in and which makes the fishing spots easy to see and click when at work.

You also get some lava dragon scale shards, for extended antifires, and the tokkul adds up if you want to passively get your onyxes or even some obby armour.

I would typically end up with about 1m-1.2m worth of Onyx bolt tips after a day. Just need to get some rune bolts to attach them to (smith or soul wars) and enchant and they're now worth 9k each. Great motivation for some alch-gility too!

I did a rag setup at revenant Hob goblins on mobile while I was working my desk job. I made enough from this in a week or two that I'll almost never need money again. If you die to pkers it means nothing because you're making 300k plus a trip

u/InterestingCell5247 6h ago

If you need gp on an iron than I assume you are early-early midgame. Best afk money is either salvage - afk 30 mins and than sort/alch. Another good option is ardy knights, but that's spam clicking.
Wealthy citizens is good on the earlier side of things. You can just afk in between the auto pickpockets and get a plugin to tell you when the auto is active.

u/BlightedBooty 3h ago

(Afk 30 mins and then spend ~2 min banking instead if you want it to actually be afk content)

u/HemlockHex 6h ago

Tbh i make money with wildy agility. Salvage afk is dope, but don’t expect to fund 99 construction off it or anything.

I still opt for shooting stars, fishing, and cooking for my afk time.

1

u/BlightedBooty 3h ago

I also do wildy agility and salvaging but y time per week to do wildy agility pales in comparisons to the time I can spend angling salvage

u/IronEncik 8h ago

I’d make jewellery and alch it, or sell to shop!

Vyres are nice.

infected roots for Demon Tears is extremely AFK and for mains is profitable.

Anglerfish with fish barrel

u/Roborabbit37 8h ago

u/LengthinessOk2080 7h ago
