61 crafting

[tigershelby2]

Ok, I was looking to do lunar deplomacy and I have all the requirements except 61 crafting. Is 61 crafting even really required? And if it is, what is the cheapest way to do it? All the ways I have looked at are lose to 1m in cost, so what is a way to get it without spending so much?

You need the crafting level during the quest. As a matter of fact, you can't even begin the quest without it.

 

I have trained crafting through those levels mostly by making battlestaves, making the best level I could using a crafting potion if necessary. If you have the Varrock Armour from the achievement diary it helps greatly in the cost - the better the armour, the more staves you can buy at a reduced price from Zaff each day.

 

Edit: The only orbs I made and charged myself were earth and air because of the location of the other 2 obelisks. Also, I high-alched them to recoup the gp - though they sell well on the GE.

 

I'm sure there are quicker ways, though not necessarily inexpensive or without tedium (spinning flax, for example).

Even though it was pretty slow exp, I did the good 'ol method of making bowstrings. It took me about 10 hours total, if I remember correctly, and made about 2m getting to 61 :thumbup:

But what level did you start at?

I think i was like 50, I might be wrong though, this is going back 2 years :P

Try making battlestaves. Do your penguin points, and it will take you about 2 hours to get from 55 to 61 using them. It will cost somewheres around 200-400k, but it's worth it.

I'd do bowstrings until you can make Green D'hide items, do those(only vambs and bodies though) until 61.
