F2P Crafting (5-50)

[Fekambard]

Hi,

 

Soon I'm going to move on to crafting on my pure, and want to get it to 50; (5 at the moment).

 

I was wondering what is the most effective way to train it in non-members, considering I want it to be fairly decent xp/hour but not too pricey. (Willing to spend around 500k)

I'd make the best leather item you can, buying hides, until level 30 (loss). Then make plain gold amulets til your goal (gain).

Angat14, if you wish to have full self-sufficiency, avoid using anything more than a very small amount of gp, and avoid combat that could mess up your pure's stats, then I personally suggest the following methods of training your crafting levels:

 

1. 5 to 7 -- Clay Pots
   (Make sure you fire them as well!)
   
2. 7 to 8 -- Pie Dishes
   (Could do pots, but this will be faster...)
   
3. 8 to 16 -- Bowls
   (Fastest exp during this period... You'd have to lose a lot of time in mining if you did Gold Amulets...)
   
4. 16 to 23 -- Two options here:
   
   1. More Bowls
      (If you don't mind repeating this some more...)
      
   2. Holy Symbols
      (Great for prayer extension while in combat... Make sure you both string them and get them blessed!)

[*]23 to 40 -- Three options here:

1. More Bowls
   (If you don't mind repeating this some more...)
   
2. Holy Symbols
   (If you don't mind repeating this some more... Again, great for prayer extension while in combat... Make sure you both string them and get them blessed!)
   
3. Tiaras
   (Awesome if you're going to also RuneCraft them later...)

[*]40 to 50 -- So many options here that it literally isn't funny. However, you now have access to the Crafting Guild, so you can speed along with just about ANY crafting method all the way to level 50... DO SOMETHING YOU WILL ENJOY HERE OR YOU'LL GO NUTS...

(I personally had to spend time down from RuneScape because I did go nuts from it...)

Yes, mining gets severely involved here, but Leather must be avoided in order to not end up training combat or taking a severe hit to your gp available to you. But, only use these suggestions I've made if you can find enjoyment in them, as they can become quite tedious. Otherwise, they won't be worth the time spent being out of combat, even with the fact that they can be pure profit as long as you didn't spend gp in buying materials to train via these ways. I do hope, however, that this information and these methods will become of some use to you. :)

Self sufficiency goes hand in hand with inefficiency.

That's a lot of information all at once.

 

Thanks. :thumbup:

This is good if you want to achieve 2k crafting exp an hour.

I'll assume you're making a poor joke... I checked the numbers on the Official RuneScape Game Manual while writing my post... If someone uses my advice at the fastest possible rate they can, then they can expect more like 50k to 100k exp/hr... Possibly More... And that doesn't include all the mining exp they're racking up during this. B)

You're very welcome. Glad to be of help. :thumbsup:

I think making gold rings until 8 and gold amulets after that is the best. You profit and it's about 40k xp/h, if you keep focused when banking. I used this method to train crafting all the time. :)

Gold jewelry is pretty win. The difference between the end product and the jewelry is pretty high, so you'll pretty much never have to worry about losing money and will often make a little profit. Despite the recent rogue trader update, I'm pretty sure rings and such are still widely bought out, but I'd go test out a small sample first.

 

Hides are just horribly expensive and not much faster.

It is NOT a poor joke. Sure my post may have been a bastardization and an under estimate of the true hourly experience per hour, but as bladewing said self sufficiency goes right in hand with inefficiency. You get mining exp, but now you're severely hurting your exp rates by going out and mining silver, or clay (to save what, an odd 100k at level 50?). You're better off going out there and using your best money maker to afford the levels which although will cost more, you will gain more exp/hour albeit the cost it takes, which isn't even that much to begin with. Also about your figure of 50-100k crafting an hour... not possible on silver and bowls in F2P and you stating that ridiculous range to begin with that in itself is proof that you don't know the actual rates. The only feasible and possible way to achieve or surpass 100k an hour is cutting diamonds, which last time I checked was about 30 gp/xp.
