OSRS UIM Money Making Guide (2025)

Ultimate Ironman (UIM) accounts require unique money-making strategies due to no access to banks or the Grand Exchange. Every method must be:

  • Inventory-friendly
  • Sustainable long-term
  • Ideally paired with skill training

🛠️ Early Game Methods

  • Agility Pyramid (70+ Agility)
    – Earn 200k/hour while training Run Energy. Pair with High Alchemy/Fletching.
  • H.A.M. Store Rooms
    – Pickpocket guards for keys, loot jewelry, and alch excess items. Save sapphire necklaces for later use.
  • Guardians of the Rift
    – Craft chaos/blood/law runes post-Temple of the Eye. Sell to Ali Morrisane for ~60k/hour.
  • Stealing Silk
    – Steal from Ardougne stalls and resell after 20 mins (~25k/hour with early Thieving levels).
  • Willow Shortbow Fletching
    – Slow but inventory-safe method. Cut willows, craft bows, and sell to shops for Woodcutting/Fletching XP.
  • Giants’ Foundry
    – Buy bronze/iron gear from shops, smith swords for ~80k-90k/hour + Smithing XP.
  • LMS Rune Arrow Alching
    – Use LMS points for rune arrows. Alch with self-made nature runes (~140k/hour + Magic XP).

⚡ Mid-Level Options

  • Selling Cats
    – After Gertrude’s Cat, trade fully grown cats for death runes (~13k/hour passively).
  • Cutting and Selling Gems
    – Buy uncut gems, craft into jewelry, and world-hop shops for ~90k/hour.
  • Steel Platelegs in Wilderness
    – Loot platelegs at Wilderness Level 25. Sell to Louie in Al Kharid (~100k/hour, low risk).
  • Eclipse Red Gathering
    – Post-Children of the Sun, collect Hunter Guild wine bottles (~280k/hour via world-hopping).

đź’Ž High-Level Money Makers

  • Blood Rune Crafting
    – At 77 Runecraft/73 Agility, craft blood runes with dense essence (~330k/hour via Ali Morrisane).
  • Pickpocketing Ardougne Knights
    – Requires 95+ Thieving and Rogue gear. Earn ~270k/hour with Ardougne Diary completion.
  • Amethyst Javelin Heads
    – Mine amethyst (92 Mining), chisel into heads, and high alch for ~300k-400k/hour.
  • Rune Dragons
    – Post-Dragon Slayer II. Kill for alchables/bars (~1m+/hour). High risk but rewarding with strong combat stats.
