Alright, so you wanna get rich quick in Rune Slayer, but hold up, you don’t wanna fight? No boss grinding, no sweaty PvP duels, no chasing down 2% RNG drops from mobs that slap harder than your Wi-Fi bill? Yeah, I get it. Sometimes, you just wanna chill, make some money, and vibe. Well, you’re in luck. In this guide, I’m breaking down some of the chillest, zero-combat, no-stress gold farming methods in the game. Whether you’re a total noob or just tired of getting folded by Yetis, there’s something here that’ll boost your bank without breaking your back.
How To Get Gold Fast | Gold Farm Guide
Let’s be real: Gold is everything in Rune Slayer. It fuels your teleports, upgrades your gear, unlocks inventory space, and gives you that sweet dopamine hit when you finally afford that overpriced merchant cosmetic.
Most players go the sweaty route, grinding bosses, camping rare mobs, sweating in PvP for drops. But you don’t have to. I’m gonna show you the smart grind: efficient, peaceful, and, dare I say it, kinda therapeutic.
What You’ll Need First
Before you start stacking stacks, here’s what you should prep:
- Farmer Account: Doesn’t matter what level you are. These methods work even if you just logged in for the first time.
- Big Backpack Space: The bigger the bag, the fatter the profit. Stack your Backpack, Slime Bag, Lilyleaf Bag, or Faction Bags if you’re fancy.
- Merchant’s Ring: Non-negotiable. +10% extra gold on everything you sell. It pays for itself—and then some.
- Optional: For ore methods. You’ll want the Emberfrost Ring and Lantern crafted from Volcanic Ice Shards.
Method 1: The Coconut Route (Super Easy Early Gold)
Teleport to Beach – Set Spawn – Go Nuts. Literally.
This is the OG lazy gold strat. No combat. No effort. Just coconut collecting on repeat. It sounds dumb, because it kinda is, but it works.
How It Works:
- Walk around the beach
- Spam-pick every coconut you see
- Fill your bag
- Walk to Merchant
- Right-click, Sell All = Profit
In Numbers:
- 3-minute run = 116 coconuts
- With Merchant Ring = ~47 silver
- Do it twice = Nearly 1 Gold in just a few minutes
Even after they nerfed food weight (rip), this is still top-tier AFK-friendly gold farming. Just don’t forget to upgrade those bags, more space = more coconuts = more profit.
Method 2: Ore Farm (No Fighting)
Lava cave mining without the lava bath. If you’re looking to farm valuable ore and crafting mats without a single enemy touching you, this is your method.
This route is slightly more advanced but still completely combat-free, if you’re Elf race, which I highly recommend. Why Elf Race? +10% stealth = sneak past mobs like a ninja. Other races? Get aggro’d just for breathing. Elf lets you loop peacefully.
What You’ll Need:
- Platinum Pickaxe (Lvl 27+) – For Mythril
- Emberfrost Ring + Lantern (crafted from Volcanic Ice Shards + Platinum)
- Press H to activate the Lantern (don’t forget, I made that mistake… twice)
The Loop:
- Enter the Demon Caves (5 silver fee)
- Pick up Ice Shards while walking
- Reach the Frost Hollow (heat reset zone)
- Interact with ore node
- Server hop, build up heat again, and reset at Frost Hollow
Why It Works
- No mobs = zero risk
- Farm Ice Shards + Ore
- Heat reset lets you loop endlessly
Honestly? This is one of my go-to chill grinds. You can sell the ores directly, craft with them, or trade to other players. Low-key profitable, especially with Emberfrost gear equipped.
Post-Update Buff: Ores respawn WAY faster now. You no longer need to go deep into the mine. Just farm the top 3 nodes, loop, and profit. Might get nerfed soon, so take advantage while it lasts.
Bonus Tips for Max Profit
- Server Hop Smartly: If someone’s already looted the ores, hop.
- Use Movement Speed Buffs (if you’ve got them): Helps with faster loops.
- Stack Heat Resistance: Extra resistance = longer runs.
- Don’t Sell All Immediately: Consider crafting/selling to other players if the market’s hot. Speaking of selling…
Method 3: Trading Like a Greedy Goblin
Low risk, high IQ gold farming with a sprinkle of manipulation. If you’ve got decent social skills and can handle a little trash talk, trading is the ultimate gold scaling method.
Here’s How I Started:
- Join the Rune Slayer Trading Discord
- Lurk chats and market trends
- Find buyers and sellers with a price gap
- Buy low, sell high, repeat
- Example:
- Player A selling Gold Ore for 50g
- Player B buying it for 55g
- You buy → You sell → You profit
- Example:
Don’t be scared to get flamed. The same guy calling you a clown today will beg you for a trade tomorrow. Easy. Legal. Genius.
Tip: You’ll start to recognize who’s desperate, greedy, or just plain confused. Target the desperate, dodge the greedy, and always trust your gut. 11/10 — Best method long-term. Infinite scaling. Requires hustle though.
Method 4: Meta Item Flipping & Farming
Be smarter than the patch notes. Every update shifts the value of items. You either adapt, or fall behind.
What To Do:
- Watch the Community Value List.
- Watch for items getting buffed or nerfed
- Invest in what’s trending, avoid what’s crashing
Example:
- Ice Dragon armor got nerfed → dropped from 1k gold → 200g
- Blood Vials? Still high-value, used for top-tier weapons like Sanguinire
If you know what people need, you control the gold flow.
Method 5: P2W — Robux = Gold on Demand
No shame if you’ve got the wallet for it. Here’s how smart players do it legally (not black market):
- Buy Race Rerolls, Slot Expansions, Titles, etc.
- Trade in-game for gold
- Current rate: 10 Robux = 1 Gold (varies by item demand)
Best Deals: Race Reroll = 8–12 Gold, Slot Expansion = 10–15 Gold, or Exclusive Cosmetic = ??? (depends on flex value).
This isn’t black marketing, it’s Robux well spent. You’re still supporting the game and getting value back. If you’ve got Robux to spare, this is the fastest and safest way to cash out.
Wrap-Up
What are you still doing here? Seriously, go get that bag! Rune Slayer doesn’t always reward brute force. Sometimes, the most efficient players are the chillest ones. Whether you’re strolling along the beach with 200 coconuts, hopping through lava with your lantern on, or looping ore caves for that sweet Lucky Ring drop, you’re making easy money with no sweat.
Gold’s not hard to come by when you farm smart. You don’t need to swing a sword, you just need a bag, a ring, and a little patience. Up next, if you’re curious about how to absolutely cheese the Yeti Boss (yes, as in kill him without taking a single real hit), I’ve got a full guide breaking it down. Check it out!
