You're the perfect level to start training very quickly. :D The quickest way would be buying Green Dragonhides and making Green D'Hide bodies, then alching them. If that is wearing your wallet thin, try spinning flax. Making glass is a viable alternative, and is easier now with the addition of the Super Glass lunar spell. However, it eats your buckets. :( My biggest method for building crafting was cutting gems and crafting jewels. I cracked the safes for the gems. I wouldn't say it's a particularly fast method, but it's cheap and builds Thieving, Smithing and Magic as well. Have fun! Big thanks to both of you ... I support your goals choille :P
