Crafting calculations and help

Ok so if I were to go for 99 crafting through green d'hides...

1,739 ea for hide

20gp ea to tan

= 1,759 each green leather

Each body will cost

1,759x3=5,277 giving 186xp

Selling back-

4,585 current GE value

Cost-GE= 692 gp lost each body

From 69 crafting-

66,196 dragonhide bodies to 99.

Loss (approx., prices will change)

66,196x692= 45,807,632

ALCHING:

Alch value of bodies:4,680gp

5,277+222=5,499

5,499-4,680=819 loss each

Loss:

66,196x819= 54,214,524

Since alching loses even more per body, I guess I would go with selling on the GE. This will probably be my primary way to go for 99, however, does anyone know of any other ways to supplement my money supply/crafting xp (of course I'll do the daily battle staves and buy air orbs and pop em on real quick for some profit) but are there any other suggestions?

Also, I am aware of stealing creation and the wonderfully magic 2x xp needles but I don't particularly enjoy the game...I will probably use some but I don't know.

Or maybe throw this idea out entirely? Does anyone know a cheaper way to efficiently get 99 crafting? (No smart [wagon] answers like gathering my own resources, I want some efficiency too :thumbsup: I'm leaving for 2 years in a little under 2 months so I wanna hit one last goal before I go)

No one has any other ideas? What about xp rates? And how many bodies you can tan per hour? :-\

Stealing Creation needle, gives double xp.

When your level allows, it make higher lever armour.

Other than that I don't really have any other than making money making suggestions..

Why are you leaving for 2 years?

Ok thanks. And to be honest I may do stealing creation. 20 minutes per needle (and thats slacking) effectively halves the cost. And more importantly the time :-X I'm wanting to die just tanning the hides. Oh well. :) I may 26k, and I know I have enough money I'll probably sell my bandos and ss, as they only direction they'll go is down, rather invest it in a skill ;)

I'm going on a two year mission for my church. I'd be glad to elaborate but I'm not sure the Mods hold with a deeply religious discussion : So if you're interested to more feel free to pm me

Actually, if you join a noncombat SC clan (plenty on RSOF, and some advertise in busy worlds) games last only 13-15 minutes. It's also much more fun because you won't lose all your invested time to a random barrage-spamming noob.
