Crafting questions

[SirIzenhime]

Ok, I was sorta looking into 99 crafting, just because it seems like a cool skill to max out.

Currently, I'm 70 crafting, I've looked at a few prices, and found that making Yellow Feather headdresses costs 2.26gp/xp, but I need 79 for this. Are feather headdresses fast to make? How much XP/Hr can you get on them? How many coifs can you buy in 4 hours? What should I do to get to 79?

I haven't looked into jewelry yet, do some of those profit or have low costs, while being decent xp?

I looked into Green D'hide bodies, but found that without SC needles, it would cost me around 100m to get to 99, I don;t like SC, and I don't want to spend 100m for crafting.

I haven't looked at Battle staff prices, are those good for XP? How much XP/hr are they?

Are there any other crafting items worth mentioning?

 

I want a method that isn't terribly slow (at the very least, 80K xp an hour, but that's stretching it) and also doesn't cost a ton of money.

plain gold amulets (u) are profit.

Slow, but profit, and sell instantly.

 

Buy daily battlestaves for 7k each. If you but the orbs, I think is costs only a little if you sell completes battle staves bach to the GE. Dunno how good orbs are to come by these days. I charged them myself because I needed magic xp.

bump.

Daily battlestaves + sand + seaweed and alching the resulting air battlestaves is about break-even, maybe profit. You only get 64 staves per day at the comfy price of 7k though. From the GE, it's like this:

 

Battlestaves are now 8542 gp, an air orb is 1286 gp, the GE price for an air battlestaff is 9082 gp and they alch for 9300 gp (nature runes are 237 gp each). Uncharged orbs are 450 gp, sand is 216 gp, seaweed is 506 gp. With superglass make, you can get around 25% more glass. Making an air battlestaff earns 137.5 crafting xp, making an orb earns 52.5 crafting xp, charging an orb earns 76 magic xp and uses three cosmic runes (69 gp each). Alching earns 65 magic xp per staff... I think that's all. Oh, superglass make earns 65 magic xp as well as 13*10 crafting xp.

 

Interpretation: battlestaves are decent enough xp, except that they do cost a bit, making them cheaper makes them very slow, and there is a 100/4 hrs buy limit, so bring some friends to buy more.

If you want to train your mousekey skills, look into superglassing. You need to bank after every cast, but you get 130 crafting and 78 magic xp per cast, plus 52.5 xp per orb made. Although you'd need to get 600 inventories per hour, that sounds a bit ambitious.

Err... I'm not the greatest help here... Maybe check Grimy's spreadsheets?
