We're tackling an awesome AFK gold-making method that's been my go-to for daily earning. Designed around archaeology, this method requires only occasional clicks every 10-15 minutes, so it is ideal for running in the background. As you don't have to constantly loot, it's even more relaxed than most methods.

↖ Requirements

• Archaeology: Level 107 for access to the best spots.
• Divination: High level, ideally 99, for high-tier Porters.
• PRI Access: For free Porters, if you prefer the Thieving route.
• Thieving: Level 99, along with the Camouflage outfit.
• Archaeology Essentials: Autoc screener, Arc journal, and Pretorium access.

 

↖ Recommended Tools

• ALT1 Toolkit: Use this for its AFK timer set to 870 seconds, giving you a heads-up before needing to re-engage.
• Premier Artifact: Offers 350% Porters but has a daily cooldown.
• Silverhawk Boots: For some bonus Agility XP.
• Archaeology Gear: Including the auto screener I mentioned earlier.

 

↖ Method Overview

• Free Porters Collection: With PRI and Camo gear, pickpocket Amlodd for lower-level Porters, saving costs.
• Archaeology Spot: My favorite is a level 107 area in the Pretorium. It yields Blood of Orcus, valued between 9-10K each due to its use in binding contracts.
• Getting There: Activate your Arc journal and head to the Pretorium.
• VIP Porter Use: If available, use it for an hour of 50% free Porters.
• AFK Strategy: Just click on the artifact and relax.

 

↖ Earning Potential

Calculating exact profits can be tricky since loot goes straight to storage, but here's a breakdown:

• After several hours, the potential sales were around 25-26M GP.
• Adjusting for market prices, expect around 20-27M GP per day.
• This translates to earning a bond (valued at 82M GP) every three days with minimal effort.

 

↖ Conclusion

In conclusion, we have presented a low-effort, high-reward method for farming Runescape gold using AFK in RuneScape 3. Remember, consistent, relaxed play will optimize the effectiveness of this method.
