General Method Description

Swamp tar is a valuable item used in Herblore, and cave slime drop 1-6 of them for each kill, making this a reliable money-maker.

At lower levels the Lumbridge Swamp Caves are a good spot; at higher levels you are better off in the Dorgesh-Kaan South Dungeon, because your faster kill speed means the three in Lumbridge aren't enough to keep you busy.

At higher levels, the magpie is an excellent forager that works well in the dungeon, gathering rings and uncut gems -- I've included an approximate value of its foraged items in the gold proceeds for the method.
