I'm looking for ways to get my crafting up to 60 in F2P, my current level is 55.

 

I used a calc to see that I need just over 3k hard leather bodies to get this, and according to the GE this should cost me over 800k, which is ridiculous for 5 low levels (IMO)

 

I'm willing to take a route that is a bit slower than this to save a little money, but I can't think of any.

 

Any ideas?

Using gold bars to make gold ammies. That way, you won't lose, and if you buy gold bars at med, you'll even profit a bit. Ammies sell for max on ge instantly, so.

You could always kill some of the cows yourself and bank the hides? I personally like making tiaras, mine the silver in the crafting guild. There really isn't many great crafting options out there for f2p...

So I just need an amulet mould and a ton of gold bars? I'll try this...thanks :thumbsup:

Sapphire Necklaces and emerald rings also work. Last time I tried sapphire necklaces they made profit (about a week and a half ago). You get 55xp per necklace, so at your level, it should be pretty quick (buy cut sapphires, not uncuts).

Where is the best place to go for banking/smelting? I am currently working in Al Kharid, it seems too far away to be the best.

I'm fairly sure that Al-Kharid is the closest furnace to a bank in f2p. Sorry.

Ahh dang :wall:

 

thanks for the quick response

Don't forget though, thats 800k to buy. You can then sell the bodies back after you're done making them.

I never thought of that...

 

Would people actually buy hard leather bodies though? I imagine over 3k of them would be tough to get rid of...

All those 1 def rangers need some kind of armor to wear on their bodies. So i would say you could sell them.

3060 pieces of hard leather... 771k

3060 hardleather bodies... 150k

me going nuts with the huge money loss from getting 5 small crafting levels....

 

PRICELESS!!!

 

But on a serious note, I think Im making jewlery :P

 

Thanks for the ideas though :thumbsup:

They require 10 defence, not 1. That's why they take forever to sell.

 

Instead of selling them, alch them with your ring. You get 68gp per body instead of 51gp.
