oreocookie987 Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 As a part of my skilling i want to raise my crafting from 53 to 70. I'd like some advice on the fastest and most cost effective way to do this. Time isn't really a problem, but i do only have 280k cash. Also please note that i am f2p. If any of you guys need to use the skill calculators, my exact crafting xp is 144,690 Expecting a good life because you're a good person is like expecting a bull not to charge because you're a vegetarian.

skeroh Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 the crafting guild ways is probably effective, but you could always buy tons of hides and craft them into leather bodies or hard leather bodies. it might be costly and take a longer time though :-k Retired from runescape. I will be on every now and then though. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mysticaznone Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 He's on a budget, so I wouldn't suggest cow hides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nul_Oblivion Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 Mining Silver ore at the Crafting Guild isn't a bad idea either. The only negative side to that is having to travel a ways to the nearest bank (Falador). Still, you can get 52 experience points per Silver bar if you make Tiaras.

Doomster Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 There is a lot to recommend "clay bowling" at the craft guild, as all the marerials are available and can be processed there without much competition. The making and firing of bowls has a "make X", but the mining and wetting of clay doesn't (use multiple water containers of the same type, even the bowls you just made, to use the implied "fill all"). Faster or slower XP than silver? - probably faster, since clay should be a 1-hit with little respawn wait and no travel required. Boring as hell and no profit though, but no loss either, though no gain to any other skill other than a small amount of mining. OTHER METHODS: Stock up on coins, needle and thread, and do cowhides from the pen by the guild, good if you want to train a little combat as well, but slower than bowls. Silver / Gold - while silver is better than un-gemmed gold, if the ores are available (and you can smelt it), take the gold as well for a faster load, tele back to Falador. Using a run of Falador -> Air altar -> Craft guild - > tele back, I then recouped the laws I used in a firestrike storm on the Ankou in the stronghold (level 44 runcrafting, 5x airs helped!). I wonder how much XP you can get in an hour of straight bowl making, and what the best lineup is - maybe keeping 14 bowls, to fill all and wet 14 clay, might work best of all, doing make 10 / make 5 - as holding a full load of clay and doing "make X", seems to skate close to the timeout limit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zyrm Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 2 best ways for f2p are cowhides and tiaras jewelry will get you way more xp, but i dobt you have that many gems so it would cost in the millions [omg] who cares if its nerfed or fixed.... you people will argue over the color of a green apple if it was a topic on this fourm god.
