In this quick guide we will be covering both F2P and P2P fishing money making methods in OSRS. Most of the P2P methods will require higher fishing levels, be sure to check out our fishing guide for the fastest leveling methods.
Best P2P osrs fishing money making methods
Catching dark crabs: 350K Profit per hour
Fishing level required: 85+
Other requirements:
- High defence gear (against pkers)
- slash weapon to slash the web near the wilderness lever
- lockpick to escape pkers
- Wilderness elite diary (100% recommended. Without it, your profits are decreased significantly)
Location: Wilderness Resource Room
Notes:
You can note your items by paying the NPC. Don’t bring any items you can’t afford losing. Bank frequently to avoid losing your noted dark crabs to a pker.
Catching minnows: 320K Profit per hour
Fishing level required: 82
Other requirements:
- Angler’s outfit (to gain access to the platform)
- Rada’s blessing (optional but recommended, this item gives 8% chance of catching double minnows)
Notes:
This method is not as AFK as other methods listed here. The fishing spot for minnows changes every 15 seconds. Since minnows stack, you never have to bank. Once you’re finished you can exchange your minnows with Kylie Minnow for sharks which you can, in turn, sell for profit. The exchange rate is 1 raw shark per 40 minnows.
Catching sacred eels: 350K Profit per hour
Fishing level required: 87
Other requirements:
- 72 cooking (higher recommended)
- Regicide quest
Equipment:
- Fishing rod
- bait
- knife
Notes:
You can use your knife on the eels to extract Zulrah’s Scales out of them. The amount of Zulrah’s scales you get per sacred eel, depends on your cooking level which is why a higher cooking level is advised.
Catching infernal eels: Profit per hour
Fishing level required: 80
Other requirements:
- 25 herblore (oily fishing rod)
- Fire cape (to access the Mol Ul Rek city)
Equipment:
- fishing rod
- bait
Notes:
You make money from this method by using a hammer on the infernal eels. This will extract tokkul and sometimes onyx bolt tips and lava shards. You should save up your tokkul until you have 300K so you can buy an uncut onyx which is the most valuable item you can purchase with tokkul.
