Money making guide/Charging water orbs

Getting there and returning.

Navigate the obstacle pipe with 70 Agility, or jump over the strange floor with 80 Agility.

Water orbs are worth 732 coins, and they are created by casting Charge Water Orb on unpowered orbs at the Water Obelisk. With a mist battlestaff equipped, this requires three cosmic runes per cast (or 318 coins). Using Falador Teleport for banking, players can charge 26 orbs per trip (the other two inventory slots being used for law and cosmic runes), resulting in a profit of 8,453 coins per trip. Using a rune pouch to hold both cosmic and law runes in a single inventory slot will let you charge an extra orb each trip, slightly increasing this method's profitability.

It is possible to speed up the trips by charging the orbs manually instead of automatically. To do this, hold the spacebar, click the Charge Water Orb spell as soon as it becomes available and on the second sound cue of the previous cast, click the Water Obelisk. Repeat until you have completed your inventory.

The Water Obelisk is located in the Taverley Dungeon. Using the map on the right as a guide through the dungeon, the round trip to the obelisk, counting banking, takes approximately 185 seconds using the 80 Agility shortcut, 205 seconds using the 70 Agility shortcut, or 325 seconds without any shortcuts.

Bear in mind that running through the Taverley Dungeon places you in combat range of aggressive black demons, hellhounds, poison spiders, and black dragons. A good Defence level is recommended. Also, having some antipoison in your bank lets you quickly cure any poison in between trips.

Assuming the unpowered orbs and cosmic runes are purchased, you can make around 505 water orbs an hour using the level 80 Agility shortcut (164,110 coins), 450 water orbs using the level 70 Agility shortcut (146,214 coins), and 280 water orbs using no shortcuts (91,003 coins).
