How ScapePath approaches money-making
The best method is the one you can run. A high gp/hr number means nothing if the requirements, gear or attention it needs are out of reach. Filter to what your account actually supports, then compare — the ranking is a starting point, not an instruction.
Effort and risk are part of the price. An AFK method at half the rate can out-earn a click-intensive one you won't sustain, and Wilderness gp comes with the risk of losing it. Weigh the real cost, not just the headline figure.
Money funds the loop. Gp is a means, not the goal — it buys the gear that unlocks a boss, the supplies for a raid, or the levels you'd rather buy than grind.
Combat and skilling both pay. Many methods are just bosses or skills you already train — each method links straight to the guide that teaches it, so earning gp doubles as progress.
gp/hr and startup figures are illustrative and depend on gear, efficiency and live Grand Exchange prices — use them to compare methods, not as exact quotes.
