OSRS Gold vs RS3 Gold: Key Differences for Buyers and Sellers

4 min read · By the OSRSGoldNow team · Updated

Old School RuneScape and RuneScape 3 are separate games with separate economies. Gold from one can't be used in the other, and the prices are very different.

RS3 has far more gold in circulation, so each million buys less. A billion RS3 coins is an ordinary amount, while a billion OSRS coins is a large bank.

How trades work

Both games use the same basic method: a face-to-face trade at an agreed world and location. In OSRS we trade on free-to-play worlds. The biggest practical difference is the coin cap: a single stack of coins tops out at 2,147,483,647 in both games, so very large OSRS sales use platinum tokens. See selling large amounts of OSRS gold.

Minimums

Because RS3 gold is worth less per million, minimum sale amounts are much higher for RS3. Check the FAQ for current minimums.

Which should you sell?

If you play both, sell whichever gold you don't need. Just make sure you pick the right game on the form, as the rate is completely different.
