How to Earn Incredible Money in Old School RuneScape: 15 Easy Bosses You Should Try in 2025
Old School RuneScape (OSRS) has been thriving for years, and in 2025, the best money-making methods still revolve around bossing. While the idea of killing bosses can sound intimidating—requiring complex mechanics, expensive gear, and hours of practice—the reality is, many bosses are actually beginner-friendly once you know the basics. Even better, they offer significantly higher profits compared to Skilling.
Today, we'll dive into 15 bosses that you can tackle for incredible profits, often making anywhere from 1 to 5+ million GP per hour or get rich by OSRS gold. We'll break it down by mechanical difficulty and requirements, starting from the easiest to the more challenging options.
1. Barrows
Difficulty: 1/10
Requirements: 2/10
Thanks to the magic rebalance, Barrows is easier than ever. With just 60 Magic and a Wind spell, you can farm all six Barrows Brothers. No gear switching required! A basic set of Ahrim's gear (5-10M GP) will easily suffice.
While the GP per hour is modest (around 750k), Barrows remains an iconic starting point for players looking to dip their toes into bossing.
2. Dagannoth Rex
Difficulty: 2/10
Requirements: 2/10
The Dagannoth Kings offer valuable ring drops, and Rex is the easiest of the trio. With 50 Magic and basic tanky gear like Targe armor and a granite shield, you can farm Rex with Iban's Blast.
The biggest hurdle is reaching the Waterbirth Dungeon and isolating Rex without aggroing the others. Once you master the route, you're looking at a comfortable 1M+ GP per hour.
3. Coliseum Wave 1 Farming
Difficulty: 2/10
Requirements: 3/10
A hidden gem in 2025 is farming Coliseum Wave 1. All you need are 75 combat stats and around 5-30M GP in gear, mostly for a Dinh's Bulwark.
Every 30-second run nets 80 splinters, and you can consistently make 1.5M-2.5M GP/hour. It's low-intensity, a little boring, but incredibly profitable for newer players.
4. Royal Titans
Difficulty: 3/10
Requirements: 3/10
Royal Titans, the latest addition to OSRS, are a fantastic mid-game boss. They introduce light gear switching (melee and ranged) but remain very accessible.
With 75+ combat stats and around 15-50M GP in gear, players can earn 2M GP/hour, especially if you snag the lucrative Twinflame Staff drop (~5M GP).
5. Perilous Moons
Difficulty: 3/10
Requirements: 3/10
The Perilous Moons are a new and improved version of Barrows. They offer significantly higher profits, with Blood Moons and Blue Moons drops worth 12M+.
Minimal gear switching and mainly movement-focused mechanics make them approachable. Expect up to 3M GP/hour with just 75+ melee stats and around 20-50M GP in gear.
6. Giant Mole
Difficulty: 1/10
Requirements: 4/10 (due to Falador Hard Diary)
The Giant Mole is hilariously simple. Using Dharok's and a Rock Cake, you can smash the mole quickly, chasing him around under Falador.
After unlocking the Falador Hard Diary, expect 1M GP/hour with very little effort. Just watch your HP!
7. Calvar'ion
Difficulty: 4/10 (due to Wilderness risk)
Requirements: 3/10
Calvar'ion is a Wilderness boss perfect for budget players. Best in slot weapons like the Ursine Chainmace cost only 7M GP!
With basic melee stats and cheap gear, you can farm consistent loot with minimal risk if you stay alert. Expect solid profits from Voidwaker Blades and Ring of the Gods drops.
8. Commander Zilyana
Difficulty: 2/10
Requirements: 4/10 (70 Agility)
Commander Zilyana is one of the easiest God Wars Dungeon bosses. The method involves simple corner running while attacking with a Bowfa or a Crossbow.
A Bowfa setup yields 4M GP/hour, while a budget crossbow build earns about half that. Gear starts getting pricier, but the fights remain simple.
9. Zalcano
Difficulty: 2/10
Requirements: 4/10 (Song of the Elves, 70 Mining)
Zalcano was reworked in 2025 to allow players to choose experience or loot. Choosing XP lets you still farm Crystal Shards and Crystal Tool Seeds while training Mining.
You can earn 2.5M GP/hour while barely needing 1M GP worth of gear. It's a low-risk, relaxed option for those tired of combat grinding.
10. Demonic Gorillas
Difficulty: 4/10
Requirements: 5/10 (Monkey Madness II)
Thanks to the skyrocketing prices of zenyte shards, Demonic Gorillas are printing money. A best-in-slot setup can earn you 4-5M GP/hour.
You'll need strong gear-switching skills (melee and ranged) and 85+ combat stats, but the payoff is absolutely worth the effort.
11. Vorkath
Difficulty: 3/10
Requirements: 5/10 (Dragon Slayer II)
Vorkath remains one of the best mid-level bossing methods. You don't even need a Twisted Bow—just a Dragon Hunter Lance and a Salve Amulet.
At 4-5M GP/hour, Vorkath is low-intensity and efficient once you learn the Wook's Walk mechanic.12. Zulrah
Difficulty: 5/10
Requirements: 4/10 (Regicide)
Zulrah offers massive profits but has a higher mechanical ceiling. Early kills can be slow (~20 kills/hour), but experts manage 40+ kills/hour.
With a Blowpipe and Trident, you can pull up to 3M GP/hour once you master the phases and gear switches.
13. Sarachnis
Difficulty: 2/10
Requirements: 2/10
Sarachnis is a great beginner boss with a low entry barrier. You can use budget melee gear to farm her quickly.
Common drops like Sinew and Red Spider's Eggs make the GP/hour very steady around 1-1.5M.
14. Kraken
Difficulty: 1/10
Requirements: 3/10
Kraken is a stationary, easy Slayer boss that's a dream for AFKers. Bring a Trident of the Seas and camp with Protect from Magic.
It's a slow but consistent moneymaker, netting 750k-1M GP/hour, perfect during downtime or while multitasking.
15. Saradomin Encampment: Solo Massing
Difficulty: 3/10
Requirements: 4/10
If you want to scale up your profits with friends, solo massing bosses like Commander Zilyana or General Graardor is a fantastic option.
While slightly higher effort, the profit scales well, and you'll split expensive drops like Saradomin Swords and Bandos pieces.Sometimes you can also buy some OSRS GP.
Final Thoughts
Bossing doesn't have to be scary or sweaty. In fact, with just a bit of practice, players in 2025 can enjoy incredible profits with surprisingly simple bosses.
From Barrows to Demonic Gorillas to Vorkath, the options are endless. Whether you're looking for relaxed farming or a challenging mechanical fight, there's a boss out there that matches your skill level and goals.
So gear up, practice those prayer flicks, and start stacking that GP—because in OSRS, fortune truly favors the brave.
