With high archaeology it's decent money to gather the lowest level artifacts, venator daggers/crossbows, and restore them with mats bought in bulk off ge. Then you disassemble them with invention and sell the crated classical and historical components.

Selling pots on the GE, iirc they actually go for more than you would expect. I'm sure it's not a good way to make money of course, but it's a way.

An actual good one for low-levels is to leech fishing spots. Oftentimes players at some spots will just drop their inventory rather than banking it, so pick up everything that gets dropped.

Smelting is workable now in theory, but I've never made a serious go of it myself.
At the appropriate smithing levels you get a chance to smith an extra bar, so that should add up overtime and give you profit in the long run alongside free smithing xp.

There's a few lunar spells like "spin flax" and "humidify" that you can use to process materials while training magic.

Farming! I can't stress enough farming. it is litterally passive income! everyone I recruited into my clan I have taught about the importance of the humble potato and its value! it can really help get you kickstarted.

any allotments are a little too active for me, but I always keep every fruit tree and bush patch occupied so I can harvest every time I go past them without needing to replant something.

Really as far as passive income in general, almost every skill is profitable to train so long as you have the mind to bank whatever you get from it.
Like I said with people dropping inventories of fish; even if they're "worthless" individually the value adds up very quickly.
Slayer tasks too- it doesn't have to be a rare gear drop for it to be worthwhile. Virtually every slayer monster has a drop table that's worth picking up what you find. You shouldn't have a list of what to pick up, but rather a list of what not to pick up. Especially with signs of the porter.

HAHA i know, i just REALLY have a thing for farming. im not hardcore about it with setting timers, but i just think its an important skill to have, especially since it saves you money when you want to train herblore.

Really just when I'm in the mood for it I do a farming run where I try to hit every allotment and herb patch at once, otherwise I'm not a big fan of training it explicitly.

Well i guess something more realistic (compared to my farming addiction :P) would be something like fishing, especially now there is an item sink for alot of Raw fish with the animal farms thing. I would suggest divination as well so you can make those signs of porter that send items to the bank for you. A pain in the ass to train, i know, but I think it is worth the effort. plus you unlock invention!

Virtually all potions sell for less than the materials to make them cost. Most of them you should want to hold onto, anyway, as you'll need them for overloads in the future, at least until you're making powerbursts or bombs.

That's not true. Herblore, crafting, firemaking, fletching, construction, summoning, invention and archaeology are all skills where you'll put more money in to training them than you get out unless you want to train them at an incredibly slow speed.

no I mean clay pots, like you buy from the general store.

Basically everything clay sells for a lot more than NPC shops sell it, but that makes sense since as far as I'm aware there's no good way to mass-produce it.

Divination training is great for money too, just from selling energy. Makes sense considering how valuable it is for summoning to be able to transmute charms.

NPC shops have very limited supply, though. You'll barely make any money doing that.

Bug abusing ED3. Since Jagex seems to allow it. :)

That's beside the point of the thread.

Buy soul runes from Baba Yaga and sell on GE.
Buy bloodweed seeds at bandit camp and sell on GE.
Daily red sandstone and sell flasks on GE.

I guess those don't count as weird though.

A weird money maker to add to this thread is to buy mahogany furniture for dirt cheap(i.e mahogany tables 66gp as of writing this) and if you have the fremmennik hard achievement completed you can donate the mahogany tables for 1013gp thus making profit
