If you are starting a fresh account and want quick, reliable gp, collecting Eclipse red wine in Varlamore makes over 150,000 gp per hour with no skill requirements at all. The only thing standing between a tutorial island account and this method is a five to ten minute quest. Here is exactly how it works.
Quick Summary
- Profit: ~150k–175k gp/hr
- Skill requirements: None
- Quest requirement: Children of the Sun (~10 minutes, no requirements)
- Starting cash needed: 20 gp
- Where: Hunter Guild (collect) → Aldarin (sell)
- Best for: New accounts, ironmen, low-level mains
- Members only: Yes
Requirements
- Children of the Sun — the Varlamore starter quest. No skill or quest requirements and it takes under ten minutes.
- 20 gp for the boat fare to Aldarin. If you are truly starting from nothing, pickpocket a few men or women on your way to Varrock and you will have it in under a minute.
- Nothing else. No stats, no gear, no items.
Why this method works: Eclipse red is a shop-sold item, not a Grand Exchange item. You sell it directly to an NPC for a flat 700 gp each, so there is no GE tax, no waiting on offers, and no price crash when you dump 250 of them at once.
What Is Eclipse Red Wine?
Eclipse red is the finest wine in Varlamore, brewed in Aldarin and described in-game as “a full-bodied Aldarin Red.” A single bottle spawns on the top floor of the Hunter Guild in Guildmaster Apatura’s quarters, and it respawns every 45 seconds (75 game ticks).
The important part: Antonius at Moonrise Wines in Aldarin buys it for 700 gp per bottle, and he accepts noted wines. That single fact is what turns a free floor spawn into one of the strongest zero-requirement money makers in the game.

How to Get to the Hunter Guild
- Complete Children of the Sun. This unlocks access to Varlamore.
- Take the quetzal beside Varrock east bank and fly to Civitas illa Fortis.
- Run south-west out of the city into the Avium Savannah until you reach the Hunter Guild.
- Enter the guild and climb to the top floor of the southern building — Guildmaster Apatura’s quarters.
Once you have visited the guild, the quetzal in Civitas illa Fortis will let you hop straight back, so return trips are quick.
Collecting the Wine
There is only one wine spawn per world, so the method is a simple loop: grab the bottle, hop, grab the bottle, hop.
- Pick up the Eclipse red on the table in Apatura’s quarters.
- Hop to the next world. You land in the same spot, so the next bottle is a single click away.
- Repeat until your inventory is full — 28 bottles is just under 20,000 gp.
If you are on RuneLite, install the World Hopper plugin and bind quick-hop to Shift + Left/Right arrow. It cuts the loop down to a couple of seconds per world and is the single biggest factor in your gp per hour.
You only need to cycle through roughly 15 worlds before looping back to the start. The spawn only takes 45 seconds to return, so by the time you have worked through a short rotation the first world has already refreshed.

Banking in the Hunter Guild
Head down the ladder to bank. The guild’s banker requires 46 Hunter, which a fresh account will not have — but the bank chest tucked away nearby has no requirement at all. Use that instead. Bank your wines and repeat the loop as many times as you like.
Do not miss the chest. A lot of players bounce off this method because they try to talk to the banker, get told they need 46 Hunter, and assume they are locked out. The chest is free to use for anyone.

Getting to Aldarin
Once you are happy with your stack, withdraw all of your wines as notes along with your 20 gp.
- Travel to the Sunset Coast, south of Civitas illa Fortis.
- Speak to Antonia at the western ship and pay 20 gp to sail to Aldarin.
- From the docks, head to Moonrise Brewery and Winery in town.
Selling to Antonius at Moonrise Wines
Trade Antonius at Moonrise Wines and sell your noted Eclipse red. He pays 700 gp each regardless of how much stock he is already holding, so you can offload an entire bank tab in one trade without watching the price fall.
There is a bank in Aldarin as well, so if you plan on doing multiple selling trips you can store your gp without leaving town.

Profit Rates
| Metric | Value | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Sell price per wine | 700 gp | Flat NPC price, no GE tax |
| Wines per hour | ~250 | Depends entirely on hop speed |
| Profit per hour | ~175,000 gp | Realistically 150k–175k |
| Full inventory (28) | 19,600 gp | Roughly 7 minutes of hopping |
| Two inventories | ~39,200 gp | Enough to kickstart a new account |
| Startup cost | 20 gp | Boat fare to Aldarin |
Rates assume roughly 250 wines collected per hour with quick-hop bound to a hotkey. Your actual rate is almost entirely a function of how fast you hop: players clicking through the world list manually land closer to 120k/hr, and players using quick-hop hotkeys sit at the top of the range.
Tips to Maximize GP Per Hour
- Bind quick-hop to a hotkey. Shift + arrow keys in the RuneLite World Hopper plugin turns a five second process into a one second one.
- Filter your world list to members worlds only, and skip PvP, high-risk and heavily populated worlds. Empty worlds load faster and nobody beats you to the spawn.
- Do not bank every inventory. Bank runs cost time. Fill up completely before taking the ladder.
- Batch your selling trips. The Aldarin trip is fixed overhead whether you sell 50 wines or 500, so stockpile before sailing.
- Watch for competition. If someone else is running the route on the same rotation, shift your world range by 20 or 30 and you will stop colliding.
Is It Worth It?
For a brand new account or an ironman, yes — comfortably. There is no other method in the game that pays 150k+ per hour with zero stat requirements and a ten minute unlock. It funds early gear, quest supplies, and starter training in a single session.
It is click-intensive rather than AFK, so it is not something most players will grind for hours on end. But even two inventories is a clean 40k gp, which is a genuinely strong start for a fresh account. Once you have a few hundred thousand banked, you will likely want to move on to something more passive — see our best AFK skilling money makers for where to go next.

What do I need to collect Eclipse red wine in OSRS?
Only the Children of the Sun quest, which has no requirements and takes under ten minutes, plus 20 gp for the boat to Aldarin. There are no skill requirements.
How much is Eclipse red wine worth?
Antonius at Moonrise Wines in Aldarin buys Eclipse red for 700 gp each. The item’s shop value is 1,000 gp and it high alchs for 600 gp, but selling to Antonius is by far the best option since he accepts noted wines and pays a flat rate.
How much gp per hour is the Eclipse red wine method?
Around 175,000 gp per hour at roughly 250 wines collected. Expect 120k–150k if you are hopping worlds manually rather than using a hotkey.
Where does Eclipse red wine spawn?
On the top floor of the Hunter Guild, in Guildmaster Apatura’s quarters, just south-west of Civitas illa Fortis. There is one spawn per world and it respawns every 45 seconds.
Can I bank in the Hunter Guild without 46 Hunter?
Yes. The guild’s banker requires 46 Hunter, but the bank chest downstairs has no requirement and can be used by any account.
Is the Eclipse red wine method good for ironmen?
It is one of the best early ironman money makers in the game. It needs no stats, no starting capital beyond 20 gp, and the gold comes from an NPC rather than the Grand Exchange, so ironman accounts get the full rate.
Does the shop price drop if I sell a lot of wines?
No. Antonius pays 700 gp per bottle no matter how many he already has in stock, so you can sell an entire stockpile in one trade.
