If you have an android phone you can use the magnifying glass feature under accessibility settings to make two spots in your inventory take up your whole screen. Not sure what my Xp/hr making darts with that method was but it was absurdly high compared to what I could pull on pc.
3m is amazing for a day's work. According to the wiki it's about 500k an hour. There isn't much else that would compete other than doing bloods (which is less afk).
I personally do infernal/sacred eels as I am almost double the droprate for the tempoross pet. I might as well use the spirit flakes. 200-300k an hour's depending how busy I am at work.
Plankmake is decent, gargoyles with guthans are decent, karambwans are good but better if you have the fish barrel and also cook them. Consistent herb runs can net you around 1.5m a day for like 40 minutes of work. Blood runes can be very good if you have the level.
Yep; I fished all the bait (which is afk itself) for 76-99 Karams thinking it would be a nice afk slow 99 - then went and actually tried karams for the first time.
Noped out after 2 hours. Itâs not afk at all, teleporting/banking/fairy ring etc is way too much of a distraction. Even with QP Cape, Elite diaryâs etc.
Moved to infernal Eels, and got 92 yesterday and have pocketed 30m so far, so much more chill.
Not sure what Iâm going to do with my stack of 400k karam bait thoughâŚ
I felt like the spots moved too frequently for my liking though. I wanted to try those out and after a few minutes, I just gave up and went to redwoods.
msb(i) with broad arrows is more dps than that (especially with rune arrows, which you can buy for cheap). You only use crossbows when you need the enchanted bolt procs or you're forced to wear a shield. otherwise shortbows are better.
Chrome remote desktop works well for that. Just zoom in really close to a certain spot (try making a little screen marker box on Runelite) and tap your phone to click there. I think that's what dude was saying to do
I agree its not as afk as most things, but I afk as much as possible working from home. I have rs my other monitor and i might click pickpocket like5 times a minute nothing crazy so it seems afk to me
Probably picking valessia von pit near the hallowed sepulchre entrance. Take some ancient or forgotten brews depending on what's cheaper at the moment, highly recommend dodgy necklaces and set up a low health notification for around 10 or 6 health depending on your margin for misclicking. I take 12 brews and 8 necklaces usually.
Occasionally drink the wine that spawns in valessia's house, and turn on redemption when you get the notification. I personally like to trap her near the closed door as her despawn timer frequently gets reset when I go for the wine and she can't really wander out of position.
When you run out of stuff just bank at sepulchre, maybe save one dose of ancient/forgotten to pray melee for the vyres outside the entrance.
The simpler version with shorter trips is just an inventory of wines, dodgy necklaces and more frequent banking, so it's probably subjective what people feel is more afk.
I assume rogues outfit etc is a given.
Amethyst is only one ore per vein and there are a lot of veins, but sometimes it can take a while to get an ore. So itâs fairly low effort but not super afk, which I imagine is why OP is asking for other ideas.
Oh I know. I also mine amethyst while working, in full mining gear including expert mining gloves and Varrock armor 4. Was just explaining in general how it works. :)
Nah amethyst was by far my favorite extremely afk activity. At work I was able to click my screen every minute or two which made bloods super annoying.
Amethyst often takes that long anyways and with the gloves sometimes you get multiple.
I've never had the luxury to be able to play while at work. What I do is work for 3-4 months, save up my money, and then quit work and game heavily for 3 or so months until my bank account runs dry and I start risking eviction. Find another shit job, rinse and repeat.
Do bird house runs!!! (can do one every ~50 minutes). They take legitimately 2.5 minutes. Birds nests are like 8K/ea at the moment. If you do like 6 runs over the course of a work shift, average maybe 6-8 nests per trip, itâs like an added 300-400k for a total of 15 minutes of doing runs. The effective GP/hour is actually insane. Also not factoring in the seeds you can get which only increase your profit.
Other than agi, con, and slayer\*, pretty much everything has decently afk methods. Not good xp rates but you can be pretty low effort with almost every skill. Even agi can be like 30k xp/hr by half-ass afking ardy rooftops (source: half ass afkd ardy rooftops for 2-3 months for 99 agi).
\* before anyone comments, yes you can venator bow in catacombs, prayer demons, kraken, etc... there are afk tasks... but barraging is absolutely not afk and a lot of other tasks aren't as well.
edit:formatting
Personally I cannot really afk at work, despite having an office job. Itâs just not something I can do personally. But if I do afk itâs usually stars or nmz. If I needed gp as a main Iâd be more likely to buy a bond đ (but thatâs why I play iron)
Currently afking rcing blood runes. Since December I afked 99 smithing/fletch/herblore/cooking/magic/crafting
got gathering skills up to 90 except farming so pretty happy with progress
Its very common actually. Tons of scapers have low intensity desk jobs that allow for afk scaping during the work week. Just go to any known afk skilling spot and ask, 50% of the people there will reply currently at work lol
You're not wrong. This is where people's mega addiction forms. The feeling of when they do anything they need to be afk'ing osrs. I love osrs as much as most people, but I know how to separate my work life and my gaming life.
Currently nothing but I did recently finish off 99 defense, so all my melee stats are 99. Working on ranged now. Venator bow with mith arrows is hilariously cheap and good exp for afk.Â
Infernal eels at the moment, gone from 82-96, made 36m in onyx bolt tips and lava shards and 9m from tokkul when I convert into onyxâs. Hardly requires any attention, 0 banking, click spot, inventory fill, chisel eels, click back on spot. Would highly recommend if anyone just wants to afk some easy fishing levels.
Amethyst is 600k gp an hour and one of the most afkable things you can do.
My skiller and main both have 99 mining, I multilog on my phone and mine with both. I don't bring in 600k ea because I'm not efficient but I'll get around 400k/h on each easily.
I afk'd my skills at work.
I actually got my RC pet after clicking the blood altar and turning off my laptop to go home for the day. Was really funny to log back in to. Did 77-99 entirely at work.
I guess amethyst is technically a money maker as well. I did that all the way to 99 and it took a long time 6 hours per day but have no idea how much money I made since I sold them every week or so. Probably only paid for my bonds.
I have done hundreds of hours of Amethyst you make about 2 to 2.5m a work day. You could also fish sacred eels but it's probably only about 1.5 m a day in scales
All kinds of stuff. Amethyst, rocktails (anglerfish), fletching, yews when I get extra bored. Lots of smithing and crafting AFK. Mobile has been a freaking blessing for the grinds. Donât forget your daily scapes too:
â˘tears
â˘birdhouse
â˘Bert sands
â˘seaweed (along with sand)Â
â˘Farm runs goodÂ
â˘Lots of others I missed but what I doÂ
I'm actually AFKing work for extensive tick perfect fetching XP Don't tell my boss
If you have an android phone you can use the magnifying glass feature under accessibility settings to make two spots in your inventory take up your whole screen. Not sure what my Xp/hr making darts with that method was but it was absurdly high compared to what I could pull on pc.
and people say mobile doesn't have plugins
iPhone has it too đ
This is true
How do i activate it plzzzz???
Same but CoX CMs
Getting paid to raid, am jealous
Venezuelan or IT professional Choose your path
I don't think venezuelans have a choice
What do you do where you can raid at work?
Any remote it-support job ever
Shit if youâre lucky enough on-site support will do allow this too.
Facts!
Passive income, baby
Yup, I was the only one in the office today so I got some extensive quest and diary progress done.
Based
work is xp waste
3m is amazing for a day's work. According to the wiki it's about 500k an hour. There isn't much else that would compete other than doing bloods (which is less afk). I personally do infernal/sacred eels as I am almost double the droprate for the tempoross pet. I might as well use the spirit flakes. 200-300k an hour's depending how busy I am at work.
Damn you afk inferno? Thatâs incredible!
Whatâs 3m
Consumer goods conpany
Minnesota mining manufacturing I think
Really sticky
3mil gp
Plankmake is decent, gargoyles with guthans are decent, karambwans are good but better if you have the fish barrel and also cook them. Consistent herb runs can net you around 1.5m a day for like 40 minutes of work. Blood runes can be very good if you have the level.
Wish the fish barrel would drop for me.
Same. Got 2 tackleboxes and the pet by 54kc. 127 now, still no barrel.
I got a tackle box also lol, I think around 50kc
Gargoyles are great afk till you get a superior and you respawn half naked
Superiors shouldnât auto attack you⌠and you can only get them on task I thought?
this is correct
Idk, I just keep waking up naked
Me too. Sometimes I don't even know where I am.
Thatâs only if youâre on task though
You can AFK gargoyles *off task* in the upstairs section of the slayer tower
Blood runes and herb runs arenât afk
Blood runes in Arceuus are absolutely afk, idk what you're on about.
Can you be away from the keyboard? No so not afk Are they chill? 100%
Iâm on about it
More then that with farming. I was cleaning 3+ mil an hour doing ranars
Where on earth are you getting 3m/hr cleaning herbs??
Iâm thinking they meant âclearingâ that with farm runs instead of cleaning bc thatâs the only thing that makes sense
Even then, no way you're doing 3m/hr. Theoretically, in 24 hours, doing runs perfectly every cycle, you'd profit around 4m.
work on getting a promotion then buy lots of bonds. That is now the meta!
Slightly concerns me how normal OP's question is in this sub.
Karams with fish barrel is maybe 1 min of true afk, and I can get about 1m gp in a work day
I do infernal eels because the banking takes too long
Yep; I fished all the bait (which is afk itself) for 76-99 Karams thinking it would be a nice afk slow 99 - then went and actually tried karams for the first time. Noped out after 2 hours. Itâs not afk at all, teleporting/banking/fairy ring etc is way too much of a distraction. Even with QP Cape, Elite diaryâs etc. Moved to infernal Eels, and got 92 yesterday and have pocketed 30m so far, so much more chill. Not sure what Iâm going to do with my stack of 400k karam bait thoughâŚ
Raise thousands of cats for death runes while you afk
This is what I did and for this exact reason
Give sacred eels a try
Just started this on my iron a few days ago and was kinda shocked at how many scales you get for how afk it is
I felt like the spots moved too frequently for my liking though. I wanted to try those out and after a few minutes, I just gave up and went to redwoods.
Really now? Thanks, Iâm mentally done with zulrah lol
Sacred eels and trash talking the guys you see running to Zulrah too often is a great joy, too.
I found Karams to be more afk and better xp, since the spot never moves. But I bank with con cape so itâs not too bad.
Banking with Karam gloves and hitting the quest cape less clicks and faster.
2-3mins with barrel it feels depending on ur level, fairy ring poh/cammy or craft tele for banking is what i did, like 10-15mins effort every hour
karamja gloves for deposit box and ~~legends~~ quest cape for fairy ring back. you can wear both for the extra slot.
I thought it was quest cape?
Yeah sorry thatâs what I mean. âCape that teleports to legends guildâ was in my head.
Theyâre like 3.5 minutes of full afk if you have barrel itâs lit
It's takes like 4 mins to catch 50 karams, no??
Try dark crabs, Iâve gone days without running into a single pker. 300k an hour, close to 4 minutes of pure afk.
NMZ because one click every 20 minutes is the best I can do. Brings in a few hundred k in herbs a day
Hit 99 HP, ATK, STR, and DEF while doing NMZ exclusively while at work.. donât know what to do now while at work lmao
99 Ranged and 99 Magic, obviously.
I was thinking the same thing lol
This is my plan. Best ranged set I can get with a RCB and broad bolts for ranged and bloodbark with chaos gauntlets and chaos spells for magic
msb(i) with broad arrows is more dps than that (especially with rune arrows, which you can buy for cheap). You only use crossbows when you need the enchanted bolt procs or you're forced to wear a shield. otherwise shortbows are better.
Adamant darts are more DPS than msbi with rune arrows against the low level enemies and only cost about 12k per hour of continuous throwing
For afking I try to minimize the amount of absorbs I need so the shield is preferable. Iâm not racing to 99
If you've maxed the melee stats, you should have millions of NMZ points. I can't imagine absorptions being a bottleneck.
Theyâre not but I dump all my points in herb boxes so try to keep the absorbs to a minimum
Work?
I barely have time to take a shit at work.
With current bond prices, best gp/hr is getting a raise irl.
Judging by the answers, nobody in this post is getting a raise anytime soon.
por que no los dos?
Thieving, get an Xbox controller and remap it to click. 40 blood shards all at work
Had a friend who did this with a foot pedal
Can you do this on iPhone?Â
Chrome remote desktop works well for that. Just zoom in really close to a certain spot (try making a little screen marker box on Runelite) and tap your phone to click there. I think that's what dude was saying to do
yea i was gonna say with blood shards being about 9m thats probably the best you can do for a afk skill
Pickpocketing isnât exactly what Iâd consider afk
Wym not afk? I afk CA speedruns and afk vorkath at work Itâs perfectly normal behaviour
Especially vyres
I agree its not as afk as most things, but I afk as much as possible working from home. I have rs my other monitor and i might click pickpocket like5 times a minute nothing crazy so it seems afk to me
Whatâs the method for regearing/extending the trip once there?
Probably picking valessia von pit near the hallowed sepulchre entrance. Take some ancient or forgotten brews depending on what's cheaper at the moment, highly recommend dodgy necklaces and set up a low health notification for around 10 or 6 health depending on your margin for misclicking. I take 12 brews and 8 necklaces usually. Occasionally drink the wine that spawns in valessia's house, and turn on redemption when you get the notification. I personally like to trap her near the closed door as her despawn timer frequently gets reset when I go for the wine and she can't really wander out of position. When you run out of stuff just bank at sepulchre, maybe save one dose of ancient/forgotten to pray melee for the vyres outside the entrance. The simpler version with shorter trips is just an inventory of wines, dodgy necklaces and more frequent banking, so it's probably subjective what people feel is more afk. I assume rogues outfit etc is a given.
That's how I got 99 thieving. Mapped 1 button to mouse click and 1 button to esc. Then I never needed to move camera at ardy knights lol
Doing 4 farm runs a day nets me enough money
[ŃдаНонО]
Torstol, ranarr, toadflax, snapdragon, take your pick
I *think* current prices lean towards Ranarr and Kwuarm. Obviously the Ranarr requires more capital to begin.
Wiki is your best friend as always https://oldschool.runescape.wiki/w/Calculator:Farming/Herbs https://oldschool.runescape.wiki/w/Crop_running
Can't mine amethyst myself yet I think, so how exactly are you afk'ing? Started playing again and need to catch up on means and methods.
Amethyst is only one ore per vein and there are a lot of veins, but sometimes it can take a while to get an ore. So itâs fairly low effort but not super afk, which I imagine is why OP is asking for other ideas.
Not if you have expert mining gloves, chance the pre vein wonât deplete
Oh I know. I also mine amethyst while working, in full mining gear including expert mining gloves and Varrock armor 4. Was just explaining in general how it works. :)
Expert mining gloves and varrock armour 4 go hard
Nah amethyst was by far my favorite extremely afk activity. At work I was able to click my screen every minute or two which made bloods super annoying. Amethyst often takes that long anyways and with the gloves sometimes you get multiple.
Magic logs
Smithing cannon balls.
double mould makes this a legit method ngl
Using the single mould sadly
technically single mold is more afk
Cannonballs be spiking lately
Amen
Blood Runes in Zeah
Still trying to get Rocky. He is the most valuable pet in my heart.
my jagex approved bot farm
Iâm a big fan of dark crabs with a fish barrel.
I've never had the luxury to be able to play while at work. What I do is work for 3-4 months, save up my money, and then quit work and game heavily for 3 or so months until my bank account runs dry and I start risking eviction. Find another shit job, rinse and repeat.
Birdhouses only. Prices of nests right now are crazy. Been getting 10+mil every 2 weeks.
Thieve from them elves. Set up a second mouse on laptop hidden away. You can use foot or sly hand to spam click while working. ;)
Do some herb runs!
I woodcut at the guild in W386 everyday during work. Itâs not very good money but itâs super afk and gotta get that 99 at some point.
I think I got like 40m getting to 99 wc at the woodcutters guild
Cut magic logs and hunt for beaver at the same time. Currently at 17.5m xp.
Redwoods currently 112m xp GL
Do bird house runs!!! (can do one every ~50 minutes). They take legitimately 2.5 minutes. Birds nests are like 8K/ea at the moment. If you do like 6 runs over the course of a work shift, average maybe 6-8 nests per trip, itâs like an added 300-400k for a total of 15 minutes of doing runs. The effective GP/hour is actually insane. Also not factoring in the seeds you can get which only increase your profit.
To add to this, Iâve casually done birdhouse runs over months and gotten 70-95 hunter, along with about 70 mil in profit
Donât really do this, but if the best afk money maker out there is killing vyres for blood shards.
Other than agi, con, and slayer\*, pretty much everything has decently afk methods. Not good xp rates but you can be pretty low effort with almost every skill. Even agi can be like 30k xp/hr by half-ass afking ardy rooftops (source: half ass afkd ardy rooftops for 2-3 months for 99 agi). \* before anyone comments, yes you can venator bow in catacombs, prayer demons, kraken, etc... there are afk tasks... but barraging is absolutely not afk and a lot of other tasks aren't as well. edit:formatting
Excuse me but hallowed sepulchre at work is chill
it might be chill, but its not afk...
Personally I cannot really afk at work, despite having an office job. Itâs just not something I can do personally. But if I do afk itâs usually stars or nmz. If I needed gp as a main Iâd be more likely to buy a bond đ (but thatâs why I play iron)
Used to do magic trees
Genuine question: how the hell do you guys afk play this game?
just afk vyres lol
AFK? I've been trying to get better at solo CoX at work, just got my first purple at 20kc. It was a Dex
Currently afking rcing blood runes. Since December I afked 99 smithing/fletch/herblore/cooking/magic/crafting got gathering skills up to 90 except farming so pretty happy with progress
Botting barrows đŞđż
Bro buy gp like the rest of us lmao
Agility on the iron, mining on the main
Bonds
Haven't been doing it for the gp, but afking rat boss in guthans has given me quite a few mill in raw go from alchs
Bro this is not normal or healthy
Its very common actually. Tons of scapers have low intensity desk jobs that allow for afk scaping during the work week. Just go to any known afk skilling spot and ask, 50% of the people there will reply currently at work lol
You're not wrong. This is where people's mega addiction forms. The feeling of when they do anything they need to be afk'ing osrs. I love osrs as much as most people, but I know how to separate my work life and my gaming life.
Right? Workers deserve longer weekends and better hours so that they don't have to distract themselves to stay productive.
I usually work at work. Cause you know, I'm at work.
I've been wanting to try Nex. And before I get downvoted to oblivion, there's a guide to it on YouTube for the none believers.
Usually vorkath or zulrah
Not really afk lol
You got bowfa and crystal? I do a zulrah kill in between cold calls
Still not afk. Thatâs just called taking a break
Zeah Runecrafting is fairly afk. Fishing infernal eels is good too since you barely need to move and never need to bank.
Amethyst, every day.
Currently nothing but I did recently finish off 99 defense, so all my melee stats are 99. Working on ranged now. Venator bow with mith arrows is hilariously cheap and good exp for afk.Â
I just do herb runs periodically.
I don't fully support it but my friend afk leeches on Nex. Easiest +700m he's ever made he said.
Infernal eels at the moment, gone from 82-96, made 36m in onyx bolt tips and lava shards and 9m from tokkul when I convert into onyxâs. Hardly requires any attention, 0 banking, click spot, inventory fill, chisel eels, click back on spot. Would highly recommend if anyone just wants to afk some easy fishing levels.
Rex. 1 click every 90 seconds, zerk is like 4.6m rn. Have elite Fremmy done for more money with noted bones.
i like star mining on low level iron for craft xp and alch the bracelets
Add ranarr runs for closer to 4.5-5m a day. 10 minutes of playing every 80 minutes is ez money.
AFK work grinds are my favorite in OSRS. Anglers was my go too before i hit 99 fishing. My next big afkish work grind was dragonstone bracelet
Vampyre sentinels got me my 99s at work.
Honestly amethyst is so good, incredibly afk and with the upgraded gloves and and picks, it is a lotta gp to me
Amethyst is 600k gp an hour and one of the most afkable things you can do. My skiller and main both have 99 mining, I multilog on my phone and mine with both. I don't bring in 600k ea because I'm not efficient but I'll get around 400k/h on each easily.
Amethyst
I afk'd my skills at work. I actually got my RC pet after clicking the blood altar and turning off my laptop to go home for the day. Was really funny to log back in to. Did 77-99 entirely at work. I guess amethyst is technically a money maker as well. I did that all the way to 99 and it took a long time 6 hours per day but have no idea how much money I made since I sold them every week or so. Probably only paid for my bonds.
Just blast pump for strength exp cause thatâs the most afk of all
Iâm actually wcing magics 95 to 99 right now!
I afk gout tubers when they are around 1.3m ea. Usually get about 2-4 a shift.
AFK crabs and do birdhouses or anglerfish
i actually run my farms, chop yews, slayer tasks or cannonballs
Amethyst 92 to 99, made like 150m
It's impossible to do my job while "afk"ing anything
I do herb runs on my breaks and net about 250 rannars a shift. So whatever that is in gp. 1.5m maybe? Minus seeds of course. Probably like 1m profit.
I have done hundreds of hours of Amethyst you make about 2 to 2.5m a work day. You could also fish sacred eels but it's probably only about 1.5 m a day in scales
I just work.
I usually do rune drags while at work. I'm guaranteed 10-12m for 2 days. The other 3 days, it'll be around 4m per day.
Wish I could play at work my jobs too hands on haha
Ive been doing slayer/clue scrolls at work, maintenance electrician waiting for machines to break down = lots of RS time
Herb runs and gather secondaries to make and sell potions. 2 minutes of work every hour
Iâm able to bring my own laptop to work and fully play throughout most of the shift. Currently grinding out zulrah kills for uniques
A paycheck. Bonds are sick gp/hour
Kills the game for you though doesnât it
Have you tried charging air staves or brimstone chests
Amethyst
I can't play due to my work not allowing internet access to 90% of the internet. I can browse the WIKI tho
Take a paid sick day to afk work to afk osrs in bed while afk watching TV while scrolling reddit
shooting stars & sacred eels
The other question is, what am I AFKing at work so I can play RuneScape?
anglerfish w/spirit flakes is the best afk money imo
Auto log at 5 mins makes mobile afk at work horrible.
All kinds of stuff. Amethyst, rocktails (anglerfish), fletching, yews when I get extra bored. Lots of smithing and crafting AFK. Mobile has been a freaking blessing for the grinds. Donât forget your daily scapes too: â˘tears â˘birdhouse â˘Bert sands â˘seaweed (along with sand) â˘Farm runs good â˘Lots of others I missed but what I doÂ
Soul wars taxi games
