 Modified Artisan's Bandana: 5% chance to save a piece of leather per item crafted.

 Tool Belt: Many items used for Crafting are stored on the tool belt:

• Most moulds

 Portable Crafter:

• 10% experience bonus
• 10% chance to save a hide or clay per item crafted
• 5% chance for gems barring onyx and hydrix
• The crafters also double as a tannery, so placing it next to a bank where applicable means that one can tan hides at the highest rate possible.

 Scroll of Dexterity: Between 1.6% and 8.3% chance to save a dragonhide when crafting an item that requires three or more hides.

 Crafting Cape: The Crafting cape's perk provides unlimited thread and removes the need for thread when crafting leathers, and provides a chance to cut all gems of the same type in the player's inventory at once.

• The chance to save a gem when cutting it (except onyx and hydrix) is increased from 5% to 10%.

 Pulse Cores: 10% core bonus experience for 10min (Stacks up to 60mins), 50% bonus is also applied when equipping the pulse core.

 Vote Books: 50% increased experience. 15 minutes per book.

Master Crafter Perk: 25% chance at saving your ingredients, no longer require thread to craft leather and increases the Crafting speed action by 50%. Price: 500 Velheim Coins

Don't forget about the Well of Goodwill, from players donating 100M GP for 2 hours, or on double experience weekends for even more experience gains!

 

 

SPINNING WHEELS

A spinning wheel is a piece of Crafting equipment used to spin fibres into strings. The following table shows what fibres can be spun into what strings using a spinning wheel:

 

1. A convenient spinning wheel is on the 1st floor (first floor) of Lumbridge Castle with a bank directly above it on the next floor.
2. Neitiznot houses a spinning wheel just south-east of the bank. That means at least level 46 Crafting is required for this spinning wheel (boosts cannot be used).
3. There's a spinning wheel in Seer's Village just south-west of the bank, which is also close to a flax field.
4. There are two spinning wheels located in Burthorpe south of the Gnome Banker, shopkeeper, and Mistress Fara. They can be found just outside of the cow pen.

 

 

POTTERY OVEN AND POTTER'S WHEEL

Both pottery ovens and wheels are used in the creation of urns and other clay products. Note that a portable crafter can function as both a wheel and an oven, which may save a lot of time as it can be placed immediately next to a bank. However among the full list, some notable fixed locations with both a potter's wheel and oven which are also close to banks include the following:

1. In Burthorpe they can both be found south of the bank; this is near the smithing furnace and west of the druid circle.
2. South-east of Varrock's East Bank inside the gated and fenced area.
3. On the ground floor (first floor) of the Crafting Guild, which is itself close to a bank chest outside in the clan camp, entering the guild a player must have a level of atleast 40 Crafting to come inside.
4. Very close to the bank chest in the Ithell district of Prifddinas. This is the fastest method.

 

 

TANNING

Tanneries can be used by players who wish to tan their own leather, which is needed when a player is Crafting Leather, Hard Leather or Dragon Leather. They can be found in a few locations:

1. Portable Crafter (the cost is same as regular tanner).
2. A tanner can be found just South of the Varrock West bank.
3. One resides on the ground floor (first floor) of the Crafting Guild.
4. Jack Oval can be found between North Taverley and South Burthorpe and will tan hides for the player.
5. A tanner lives in a house just a stone's throw North of the Al Kharid bank.
6. The closest tanner to a bank resides in the Ithell district of Prifddinas.

 

 

FURNACE

Furnaces are used in the production of jewellery. The most efficient way to create jewellery is to fill the metal bank with gold bars and have the inventory filled with the gems needed to create the jewellery. Several furnaces exist within a short range of a bank:

1. Shilo Village has a furnace only 10 squares from a bank.
2. Edgeville has a furnace 13 squares from a bank.
3. A furnace exists on Neitiznot that is 15 squares from a bank.
4. Artisans' Workshop has a furnace 15 squares from a bank. Note that the Burial Forges cannot be used for crafting.
5. Port Phasmatys houses a furnace that is only 17 squares away from a bank.
6. There is a furnace 17 squares away from the bank chest in the Lumbridge Market.
7. Furnace south of Burthorpe 24 squares from bank.

 

 

TRAINING CRAFTING

At low levels, both crafting urns and making jewellery offer good experience rates. While jewellery and urns offers moderate experience. Low-level players who seek faster experience rates should consider cutting gems, which can be started from level 1.

Starting at level 54, players often train Crafting with battlestaves. Players who seek faster experience rates can start making green dragonhide bodies at level 63.

For any game-mode you are playing on I would highly recommend cutting gems, as it is fast to get rock gems by either buying from Grand exchange, other players or to mine them yourself. Can also making dragonhide bodies or dragonhide shields from dragonhide leather is another good option for experience.

 

 

ADVICE FOR IRONMEN

Ironmen should begin the first few levels of training with picking flax in Taverley and turning those into bow strings on the provided spinning wheel there for their use in Fletching later.

After that try to focus on techniques such as crafting urns (especially after 40 when the Crafting guild becomes available; don't forget to use runes to stack urns to save time otherwise spent in banking trips) or perhaps tanning dragonhide or other leather-making techniques.

Although a mining rework has been done that has increased gem outputs, to purely focus on experience gained from making jewellery may not be as practical as it is for regular players, due to the absence of the ability to trade on the Grand Exchange.

However, mining from uncommon gem rocks is viable with high Mining levels and a gem bag. Jewellery may be crafted for enchanting, high alching, sign of the porter, or Invention after it's unlocked.

 

 

MOLTEN GLASS, 1-46+

•  Lantern Lens: 49 Crafting
•  Empty Light Orb: 87 Crafting

 

1. Molten glass can be made in a furnace using a bucket of sand and soda ash (obtained by cooking seaweed on a range or in a fire).
2. Molten glass can then be made into several useful items with a glassblowing pipe (tool belt will work).
3. Training this way is a good strategy for going from level 1-30 as glasswork offers decent experience rates.
