SirTommy2005 Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 All I can think of is get you own cowhides and yea you get my point =P~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OhMyLord4 Posted August 18, 2008 Author Share Posted August 18, 2008 I've tried tiaras, but it's kinda slow... Cowhides are fast, but expensive =/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ouchy Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 I've tried tiaras, but it's kinda slow... Cowhides are fast, but expensive =/ I think that he means that you should kill cows, and then craft them. It is the same with the tiaras. If you mined the silver ore, which should not be a problem for you, you can make them without losing profit. My relaxation method involves a bottle of lotion, beautiful women, and partial nudity. Yes I get massages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BiJay Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 Crafting sapphire necklaces is a very efficient way to train crafting. Buy gold bars and sapphires. Get a necklace mould and then craft the ingredients into necklaces at a furnace. You may alch them for additional mage exp. You will lose some money but it's worth it (like 2 gp per exp - depends on current prices). btw Killing cows at your combat level would be stupid. :lol: [404] Signature not found.

Sinkhan Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Make bowls at the crafting guild. Best way in F2P. I'm making a super comprehensive mini-guide soon. Think about it. Clay mines ridiculous fast and there's almost no competition. No bank runs. Since you mine it, add water, spin, and fire all at the guild, there's a very very small amount of walking time. (Like 10 tiles between each station...) 33 XP per bowl. And it's entirely free. Hard leather bodies require you to buy thread and tan the hides. If you buy the hides, you make no profit at all. If you kill the cows yourself, it takes a really long time. Something to fill my sig with until I find a replacement.Also check out my blug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you kill the cows yourself, it takes a really long time. Well you have to mine 14 clay, add water, spin them and then fire them (some breaking) and then you will get 462 xp. I really can't see this being anything more than 15k xp an hour. I would recomend saphire necklaces (no cow killing required). It's about 40k xp per hour and if you alch the necklaces it's about 60 gp loss per, so about 1 gp per 1 crafting and 1 mage xp. Tiaras really are one of the best ways though, they're just more expensive. Does it really matter whether I was right? #-oThis is Tipit. There is nothing more important than being right. Common sense is nothing more than a deposit of prejudices laid down in the mind before you reach eighteen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinkhan Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 No...you would mine 27 clay, fill up a jug and add water to clay 27 times, spin, and then fire... I don't see why people always miss that you can refill a jug more than once and it can be used again and again per trip :roll: I raised my crafting quite a bit this way and I averaged about 3-4 mins per load, each yielding about 890 XP. That's about 13-17.5K XP per hour. Completely free No loss of money whatsoever. Beyond level 15-20 crafting, bowls never crack. As for sapphire necklaces, let's look at the cheapest possible way of doing it. Mine up each sapphire (I don't need to tell anyone how long this would take) Mine up all gold (Medium amount of time) Cut each sapphire (Fairly quick) Smelt 14 gold into bars (Fairly Quick) Make necklaces (Fairly Quick) Alch (Fairly Quick) So yes, aside from actually acquiring the materials, this would be rather quick. However, if you decided to buy the sapphires, cut or uncut, buy the gold, bars or ore, along with the natures to actually alch the necklace, you would be in deficit. Realistically speaking, you would probably buy the sapphires. Currently, cut ones are about 300. Gold bars are 225ish. Add in a nat and you're at about 750, 110 over the high alch of a necklace. Mining a full load of inventory of gold with no competition at the guild or any other F2P site would take at least 4 mins, not including the bank run. And that's if your mining level is relatively decent (70+) and of course, no competition. Making bowls is undoubtedly the best way for crafting XP if you don't want to spend any money.
