OSRS UIM Money Making Guide (2025)
Written by Andrew Hammel
Ultimate Ironman accounts make money differently since they can't use the Grand Exchange OR banks. Every method needs to be inventory-safe, repeatable, and sometimes worth pairing with training. Here are the best UIM money makers for 2025, sorted by level and usefulness.
Early Game Methods
Agility Pyramid
Earn up to 200k per hour with 70+ Agility while also training run energy and pairing with High Alchemy or Fletching.
H.A.M. Store Rooms
Pickpocket guards for keys, loot chests for jewelry, and alch or sell the extras while saving useful pieces like sapphire necklaces.
Guardians of the Rift
After Temple of the Eye, craft runes and sell chaos, blood, and law runes to Ali Morrisane for about 60k per hour while leveling Runecraft.
Stealing Silk
Grab silk from Ardougne stalls and sell it back after 20 minutes for about 25k per hour, useful during early Thieving levels.
Willow Shortbow Fletching
Cut willows, fletch shortbows, and sell them to general stores for a slow but clean way to make coins while training Woodcutting and Fletching.
Giants' Foundry
Buy bronze and iron (or steel) gear from shops, make swords without a bank, and profit 80k to 90k per hour with added Smithing XP.
LMS Rune Arrow Alching
Use LMS points to buy rune arrows, then alch them using self-made nature runes for up to 140k per hour while training Magic passively.
Mid-Level Options
Selling Cats
Raise cats after Gertrude’s Cat and trade them for death runes every few hours for a passive 13k per hour while skilling.
Cutting and Selling Gems
Buy uncut gems from shops, cut them, and sell them back while hopping worlds for more stock, making about 90k per hour.
Steel Platelegs in Wilderness
Loot steel platelegs at level 25 Wilderness and sell to Louie’s shop in Al Kharid for around 100k per hour with low risk.
Eclipse Red Gathering
After Children of the Sun, collect wine bottles upstairs in the Hunter Guild and sell them for up to 280k per hour by hopping worlds.
High-Level Money Makers
Blood Rune Crafting
At 77 Runecraft and 73 Agility, craft blood runes using dense essence and sell them to Ali Morrisane for around 330k per hour.
Pickpocketing Knights of Ardougne
At 95+ Thieving with full Rogue gear and Ardougne Diary done, pickpocket knights for up to 270k per hour with no banking needed.
Amethyst Javelin Heads
Mine amethyst at 92 Mining, chisel into javelin heads, and high alch them for 300k to 400k per hour using very little inventory space.
Rune Dragons
After Dragon Slayer II, kill rune dragons for alchables and bars worth over 1m per hour if you have high combat and don't mind the supply costs. Just be careful.
Final Blurb
You won’t get rich fast as a UIM, but the good methods are clean and efficient if you plan ahead. Pick one that fits your stats, doesn’t clog your bag, and lets you multitask when possible.
Stack training with profit and always leave space for loot that matters.
