Crafting guide     Introduction In this guide i will tell you how to train crafting, what the fastest and most efficient ways are to lvl up to 99 and eventually prestige the skill. Crafting is a wide variety skill that ranges from creating armor from leather, to making jewellery. While there are a lot of ways to train crafting on OSRS, as of currently we only offer limited, but possibly the best training methods. I will take you through each of these methods and will show you a possible route of what is the most efficient way to lvl up crafting. When this guide was written, the only ways to train crafting is leathercrafting, cutting gems and crafting gold jewellery. Silver jewellery crafting will be added at a later stage.    Leathercrafting Crafting leather armor is the way to start training crafting at lvl 1. There are different types of leathers, black dragon leather being the highest, which can be utilised to train to 99 crafting. You can start out training crafting by obtaining cowhide. Cowhide is dropped by cows. You can bring cowhides to a tanner who can make it into soft leather. At a later stage, you can get your cowhides turned into hard leather, for training at a higher lvl. At even a higher lvl you can get dragonhides from coloured dragons, ranging respectively from lowest to highest requirement, green, blue, red or black dragonhides. The tanner can turn these into dragon leather, which can be used to make dragonhide armour. To craft any leather armor you need a needle and thread, which can be bought from the skilling shop at home. Crafting a leather item always uses 1 thread.     Soft leather Soft leather can be used to make basic leather ranging equipment. You can start training crafting at lvl 1 by creating leather cowls. Higher lvl items yield higher xp, but possibly use more leather. The tendency of using more leather to craft an item almost always results in a higher XP/h. Creating any item with soft leather requires 1 piece of leather. Note: In game, soft leather is named leather, but since the next tier is called hard leather, normal leather is usually mentioned as soft leather, although you will never see an item named soft leather, only the tanner mentions it as soft leather.    Level Item XP 1 950 11 1100 14 1250 18 1350   Hard leather Hard leather can be used to craft hard leather ranged equipment.

You can make gold jewellery with gems and gold bars. Silver jewellery crafting will be added at a later stage. Jewellery crafting can be divided in two ways: cutting uncut jewels and crafting actual jewel. You can start training crafting through cutting uncut opals at lvl 1. Opals, Jades and Red topaz are used for silver jewellery and can currently not be crafted into jewellery. You can however cut their uncut variants to cut jewels for early crafting training. To cut a gem you need a chisel and an uncut gem. To make a piece of jewellery, you need a gold bar, a cut gem and a mould for that specific piece. You can buy ring, necklace, amulet and bracelet moulds at the skilling shop at home. To make gold jewellery, use a gold bar on an oven. Cutting gems  Level Item Materials Experience 1 750 13 1000 16 1250 20 2500 27 3400 34 4250 43 5400 55 6900 67 8400 89 10.000 Crafting jewellery  Level Item Experience 5 750 6 1000 7 1250 8 * 1500 20 2000 22 2750 23 3000 24 * 3250 27 2750 29 3000 30 3250 31 * 3500 34 3500 40 3750 42 4000 50 * 4250 43 4250 56 4500 58 4750 70 * 5000 55 5000 72 5250 74 5500 80 * 7500 90 ** 750 67 5750 82 6000 84 6250 90 * 8250 89 7500 92 8250 95 9000 98 * 10.000   *To string an amulet, use a ball of wool on an amulet (u) **To craft a lucky ring, you need a lucky gem and a 'perfect gold bar' Jewellery  can be enchanted through magic to get special stats or effects. Enchanting can be done in the normal spellbook with the enchant jewellery spells. You do not get crafting XP for enchanting jewellery.       Fastest route to 99 The fastest route to 99 is to craft d'hide bodies. I advice to train up to green d'hide bodies, then make those until you can make red d'hide bodies and so on, craft black d'hide bodies until 99. This is the fastest XP/h but is quite click intensive, as you can only make 8 bodies per inventory. Using bank pre-sets can be a very efficient way to quickly deposit and withdraw items. Cutting gems can be quite fast, but also very expensive. Regular players can buy uncut sapphires up to uncut diamonds from the skilling shop. Buying and cutting these is a fast and afk, but kind of expensive way to train crafting. This is often done by people who want to train more 'afk' as you only have to act after doing 27 actions, where you have to do something every 8 actions if you craft d'hide bodies. Crafting gold jewellery is not advised to train crafting with as it is quite slow training, despite the overall high xp drops.  Tips for prestiging - Use XP lamps to skip the first few lvls to go straight into high gem cutting, or d'hide bodies. - Always have the best skilling cape (or max/prestiger cape) equipped when skilling to profit of passive perks of these capes.
