Complete High GP Tasks In-Game
Several in-game methods can help you earn enough GP to cover an Old School Runescape membership, whether you're just starting out or have been playing for years. The tasks below earn up to 150,000 GP per hour.
| GP Task | Requirements | GP/Hr |
|---|
| Fill Empty Jugs | None | 60k to 110k |
| Make Pie Shells | None | 80k to 120k |
| Collect Red Spider Eggs | 25 Magic recommended | 75k to 150k (run energy) |
| Collect Wines of Zamorak | 37 Magic | 40k to 80k |
| High Alch Armor/Weapons | 55 Magic | Depends on items |
| Killing Ogresses | 55 Magic | 60k to 120k |
| Pizza Bases/Cooking | 60 Cooking (35 for bases) | 30k to 150k |
Membership costs 8 million GP every two weeks, so these tasks represent real time investment. The breakdowns below cover each method so you can find what fits your playstyle.
Fill Empty Jugs
Filling empty jugs has no requirements. Jugs are cheap to buy, and filled water jugs sell at a consistent profit. Water Jugs also feed into cooking training, since they're used to make jugs of wine.
Head to Draynor Village to buy packs of empty jugs. Other stores stock them too, but Draynor is easy to reach. Hop worlds or wait for restocks to build up supply.
Once you have your packs, open them at Validor Bank and fill them at the water source next to the Hair Salon.
Make Pie Shells
Like water jugs, making pie shells has no skill requirements. Pick up pie dishes, bowls of water, and pots of flour from the Grand Exchange.
Take nine bowls and nine pots, combine them, and select the pastry dough option. Then grab 14 pieces of pastry dough and 14 pie dishes to produce pie shells, which sell for around 445 GP each.
Collect Red Spider Eggs
Level 25 Magic is recommended for this method, giving you access to a rock teleport spell. Bring a weapon that cuts through webs, such as a scimitar, longsword, or dagger.
- Go to the East Bank and run through the Varok Sewers to reach the red spider egg spawn.
- Pick up eggs and hop worlds until your inventory is full.
- Teleport back to Varok and deposit your loot at the starting bank.
Run energy drains faster on free worlds, which slows the pace. The GP rate still makes this a strong option for the time invested.

Collect Wines of Zamorak
This method requires at least level 37 Magic, with level 43 recommended. At peak hours, competition for available wine can be high, so earlier sessions tend to yield better results.
High Alch Armor and Weapons
High Alchemy requires level 55 Magic. Use Alchmate to browse free-to-play items and sort by the difference column, which shows profit per item after alching.
Items worth alching include Dragon Hide Bodies, Rune Longswords, Two-Handed Swords, and Rune Chain Bodies. Profit per item is modest, but volume adds up quickly.
Killing Ogresses
Ogresses are a solid combat option for players who have reached level 55 Magic. GP per hour scales with your melee or ranged levels, making this one of the more flexible high-earning methods later in the game.
Pizza Bases or Cooking
Cooking skills open up reliable GP opportunities. Four items work particularly well: pizza bases, tuna, lobster, and swordfish.
Pizza bases need bowls of water and pots of flour. For fish, level 60 Cooking is recommended to avoid burning and losing food, though you can start at a lower level and accept some waste.
Keep in Mind: If you are new, it would be much more beneficial to purchase a one-time membership so you can level up. Leveling up helps you earn more GP.

Is an OSRS Membership Worth It?
OSRS membership is a subscription that unlocks member-only worlds, features, skills, quests, and a larger game world. Free-to-play gives you a working introduction to the game, but most content sits behind the membership paywall.
For anyone who wants to experience the full game, membership is necessary. The methods covered in this guide let you earn it without spending your own money.
