Are you tired of being broke in Old School RuneScape, endlessly killing cows in Lumbridge for a few hides? It’s time to leave that life behind. In this guide, we’ll explore seven of the best AFK Slayer-based money-making methods in OSRS — from beginner-friendly creatures to high-level monsters that can net you millions of OSRS gold per hour. We’ll rank them by profit, experience gained, and just how AFK-friendly each method truly is.
Brutal Black Dragons
Requirements:
- 77 Slayer
- 37 Prayer (Protect from Magic)
- 45 Construction (recommended for quick restoration)
- 85 Ranged (recommended)
Setup:
Use your best ranged gear — a Twisted Bow with amethyst arrows or a crossbow with enchanted diamond bolts. Bring an Xeric’s Talisman (Inferno teleport) to reach the dragons and teleport to your Player-Owned House for banking. Keep an extended antifire potion,a divine ranging potion, and 3 prayer potions on hand.
Method:
Teleport to Xeric’s Inferno and head east, down the hole to the Brutal Black Dragon area. Keep Protect from Magic active and sip your antifire potion to avoid damage.
AFK Rating: (9/10)
Brutal Blacks have massive HP (315), so even with max gear, they take a while to kill. They’re aggressive and allow multiple kills before looting, making them one of the most AFK Slayer methods available.
Profits & XP:
- ~70 kills/hour
- 1.75M GP/hour
- 90K Ranged XP/hour
- 30K Hitpoints XP/hour
Pro tip: Only pick up dragonhides for maximum profit efficiency.
Gargoyles
Requirements:
- 75 Slayer
- Priest in Peril quest
- 80+ Combat stats (recommended)
- 55 Magic (for High Alchemy)
Setup:
Bring the Guthan’s set for passive healing and a rock hammer to finish them off. Use High Alchemy to turn loot into cash on the spot. A nose peg and restore potions help against Aberrant Spectres on the way.
Method:
Teleport to Canifis and head northwest to the Slayer Tower. Climb to the upper floors where Gargoyles reside and let them aggro onto you.
AFK Rating: (9/10)
Gargoyles stay aggressive for 10 minutes, so you can literally step away for a snack break.
Profits & XP:
- ~125 kills/hour
- 700K GP/hour
- 63K Combat XP/hour
- 21K Hitpoints XP/hour
Pro tip: Cast High Alchemy on rune and adamant drops to maximize AFK income.
Kurasks
Requirements:
- 70 Slayer
- Song of the Elves quest (for Iorwerth Dungeon access)
- 75+ Combat stats
- 55 Magic (High Alchemy)
- 93 Herblore (for Divine Super Combat Potions, optional for extra profit)
Setup:
Use melee with a Leaf-Bladed Battleaxe, or range them with Broad Bolts from safe spots. Bring High Alch runes, food, and combat potions.
Method:
Teleport to Prifddinas, enter the Iorwerth Dungeon, and head south.
AFK Rating: (8/10)
Aggressive monsters allow semi-AFK combat, but you’ll need to bank occasionally.
Profits & XP:
- ~180 kills/hour
- 1.2M GP/hour
- 69K Combat XP/hour
- 17K Hitpoints XP/hour
Bonus Tip: With 93 Herblore, you can use dropped crystal shards to make divine super combats, adding 500K GP/hour to your profit margin.
Skeletal Wyverns
Requirements:
- 72 Slayer
- Elemental Workshop I & II (if not using DFS)
- Fairy Tale II and Lost City (for Fairy Rings)
- 80 Ranged, 44 Prayer, 55 Magic (recommended)
Setup:
Bring your best ranged gear with a Dragonfire Shield, High Alch runes, and plenty of food and prayer potions.
Method:
Use fairy ring code AIQ, head north, and enter the dungeon. Safe spot them from six tiles away.
AFK Rating: (7/10)
Wyverns are aggressive, but since bones make up a large portion of profit, you’ll need to bank fairly often.
Profits & XP:
- ~95 kills/hour
- 1.4M GP/hour
- 79K Ranged XP/hour
- 26K Hitpoints XP/hour
Spiritual Mages
Requirements:

Setup:
Bring Proselyte armor, a Zamorak and Saradomin item, prayer potions, and a strong melee weapon.

Teleport to the God Wars Dungeon and head to the area requiring 70 Agility for the best AFK spot — mages are often already fighting other creatures here.
AFK Rating: (6/10)
You’ll need to click every 20 seconds or so, but they drop stackable runes and the prized Dragon Boots.
Profits & XP:

- 19K Hitpoints XP/hour
Brine Rats

Setup:
Bring melee gear, food, and a spade to dig into the cave.
Method:
Use fairy ring DKS, head northeast, dig, and follow the tunnel.
AFK Rating: (5/10)
Brine rats aren’t aggressive, so you’ll need to click often, but the ability to cook swordfish on-site minimizes banking.
Profits & XP:
- ~160 kills/hour
- 200K GP/hour
- 32K Combat XP/hour
- 11K Hitpoints XP/hour
Big Drop: Brine Sabre (1/512 chance).
