RuneScape Gold Guide – April 2025 Edition: Events, Updates & Opportunities

April 2025 has been a goldmine for RuneScape players, with a wealth of new content creating fresh opportunities to earn GP (gold pieces) through quests, events, and minigames. Whether you're a seasoned grinder or just starting out, here's how you can take advantage of the latest updates to boost your RuneScape bank.

1. Questing for Gold: Pharaoh’s Folly & Duck Quest
The month kicked off strong with the Pharaoh’s Folly quest on April 7. Set in the Kharidian Desert, this adventure is packed with puzzle-solving, combat, and lore. Beyond its engaging storyline, it rewards a generous cache of gold coins and the stylish Sandstorm Cloak, perfect for RuneScape gold fashionScapers and transmog fans.

For newer players or Ironmen looking for a simple gold start, Duck Quest, launched April 14, offers a light-hearted experience with modest gold rewards. Players help a quirky duck family reunite their ducklings while earning a flock ring (Farming XP bonus) and a small gold stipend. This quest is now available year-round, making it a reliable early-game income source.

2. Spring Events: Blooming Burrow & Token Trading
From April 14 to May 5, the seasonal Blooming Burrow Easter event transformed Rimmington with themed skilling games like beekeeping, rowing races, and spring clue scrolls. Each activity yields spring tokens, which can be exchanged for cosmetics like Bunny Ears and exclusive mounts. Smart players took advantage of the token-to-GE (Grand Exchange) trade, selling event items and resources for quick gold gains. Many of these drops retain high demand throughout the event window.

3. Player-Made Profits: Spring Gamejam Minigames
On April 22, Jagex unveiled the finalists from the Spring Gamejam, where players submitted original minigames. From tower defense to pet simulators, these activities offer gold jackpots and unique badges. Winning entries are now live in the “Player Creations” tab on the Grand Exchange, where completing them can yield quick gold bursts with minimal risk—perfect for casual grinders or anyone seeking variety in their money-making rotation.

4. Dragonwilds Patch 0.7.2: Balanced Gold Farming
The April 24 patch for the Dragonwilds expansion rebalanced high-end gold methods. Ghornfell Raids now spawn less frequently (every 4 in-game days), and Velgar Meteor Barrages were toned down to reduce burnout. These changes ensure a steady, sustainable gold flow from rare drops and resource farming, particularly for large groups. The patch also included bug fixes and UI updates to improve overall gold-farming efficiency.

5. The Economy: Gold Sinks & Inflation Control
To keep inflation in check, Jagex added new event-specific cosmetics and limited-time store items, creating effective gold sinks. These help counterbalance the large amounts of gold entering the economy via seasonal rewards, maintaining a stable market for players.
