Good AFKable money making?

[Shangdi]

Well with the recent decline in price of a certain item that I want, I've decided to try and buy it before it rises again. However, I have an inability to concentrate for long periods of time; therefore I am looking for a decent AFKable method of making money. (As in, I don't need to check RS more than once ever 30-45 seconds.)

 

My stats are accessible by clicking the user info bar to the left, on my RS name.

 

I am currently considering WCing yews/mages, metal drags, and house teletabs.

 

Aside from AFKable methods, I'll also consider methods that will give me summoning, prayer, or herblore XP.

 

I have ~7.5M startup cash, and I am trying to get about 60-70M. I already do MTK and a few herb runs (planting wegali and snaps), and I try to fletch 3k broads each day as well.

 

I think that's enough info. :P

Merchanting ...

 

Most of the AFK money making ways aren't going to be creme de la creme because its easy. Most of them range around the 200-400k a hour region.

few truer words have been said on an RS forum :P

 

camping nightshades is ~500k gp/hour at this moment

don't expect to get much better than that.

tbh if you're going to afk something, AFK fishing or woodcutting, skills that are suited towards what you're looking for.

[K4ylan]

cutting gems into bolt tips work(not sure if this still works).

At 90 Fishing, you can make 250k+/hr by fishing Rocktails. And it's very AFKable

Uhhhh...how does this "camping nightshades" thing work?

Fishing. You'll get 250k/hr at 90+ with very decent XP and a nice AFK factor.

go to the nightshade spawn in gutannoth

pick up the nightshade, wait 60 seconds, pick up another nightshade

bank as needed (cwars is the closest teleport)

 

you will need to make these nightshades into weapon poison++ before you can sell them

this requires that you have 82 herblore OR that you request assist from a friend with 82 herblore (they're easy to find, just tell them they'll get free herblore xp)

they have medicine for that now. try farming

[Nomrombom]

Farming runs in between smithing steel bars into cannonballs. You make like 900 gp profit per bar, plus the runs you do for farming, can net over 200k an hour. Forgot to say, smithing the bars is slowish, and therefore very AFKable.

OK I decided to do fishing/wc/house teletabs with plenty of herb runs.

 

Thanks to everyone! :thumbsup:
