OSRS Crafting Guide: 1-99 Training Method:

Introduction OSRS Crafting Guide:

Crafting is a highly valuable skill that involves creating various types of armor and jewelry. However, it can be a costly skill to develop due to the significant amount of resources required. In many cases, the value of the items you produce may be less than the resources invested.

In this guide to Crafting in OSRS, we will discuss effective methods for developing this skill. Whether you are a F2P or P2P player, we will cover all available options. With numerous training options available in the game, we will provide a thorough review to help you determine which approach suits you best.

1-99 Guide (Fast)

The following technique is the quickest way to attain 99 Crafting in OSRS. However, it requires a substantial amount of funds and is advisable only if you can earn more than approximately 5 million euros per hour. If this is not the case, it may be preferable to consider slower yet less expensive methods. Unless a specific crafting level is absolutely necessary for a task, it is often more efficient to focus on earning money and utilizing these fast-paced techniques.

Levels 1-20 – Cutting Opals

To cut gems, you will require a chisel. However, it is essential to note that some gems will be destroyed during the process, resulting in an inability to recoup your entire investment. As you progress in the skill, the likelihood of crushing gems diminishes. It’s worth noting that only a few lower-level gems are prone to crushing, and after reaching level 20, this should no longer be a concern.

• Experience per hour: ~25,000
• Opals needed: ~500

Levels 20-27 – Cutting Sapphires

After a certain point, there is no risk of crushing any more gems, making it easier to estimate the amount you will need to purchase. In the early levels, gems can be an effective and affordable method of advancing quickly.

• Experience per hour: 140,000
• Sapphires needed: 106

Levels 27-54 – Cutting Emeralds

Remember to sell your cut gems on the Grand Exchange to recoup some of your investment. Although the initial cost may be high, the eventual loss of funds is typically minimal.

• Experience per hour: 170,000
• Emeralds needed: 2.091

Levels 54-58 – Water Battlestaves

To produce battlestaves, combine a Battlestaff with a charged elemental orb (air, water, earth, fire). Purchasing battlestaves in bulk is crucial to make this method effective. Due to their limited purchasing limit, consider enlisting the assistance of friends or clanmates to ensure an adequate supply.

• Experience per hour: 250,000
• Water Battle Bars Needed: 736

Levels 58-63 – Earth Battlestaves

Earth Battlestaves are marginally quicker than Water Battlestaves, and their cost may be lower depending on the current market prices.

• Experience per hour: 275,000
• Earth battle rods needed: 972

Levels 63-66 – Green D’hide Bodies

The cost-effectiveness of using Earth Battlestaves may make them a viable option until level 66, depending on market prices. Nonetheless, transitioning to Green D’hide at this juncture may increase speed slightly.

• Experience per hour: 300,000
• Green D’hide Soils Needed: 687
• Green dragon leather needed: 2.061

Levels 66-71/99 – Air Combat Staffs

Air Battlestaves offer a highly efficient and relatively cost-effective training option all the way to level 99. The primary challenge is purchasing them in bulk, but if you can amass an adequate supply with the assistance of friends, this method can be highly effective.

• Experience per hour: 330,000
• Air Combat Staffs Needed: 2315 (up to 71)

Levels 71-77 – Blue D’hide Bodies

If you choose not to pursue battlestaves, D’hide bodies provide the best alternative. Begin with blue, progress to red, and ultimately to black. It’s worth noting that these can become increasingly expensive, so you may hold on to them throughout your journey to level 99.

• Experience per hour: 350,000
• Need Blue Dragon Leather: 9.447

Levels 77-84 – Red D’hide Bodies

• Experience per hour: 390,000
• Need Red Dragon Leather: 18,921

Levels 84-99 – Black D’hide Bodies

• Experience per hour: 430,000
• Need Black Dragon Leather: 117.246

Alternative Methods:

While some of the aforementioned methods can be quite costly, it’s important to recognize that Crafting training, in general, tends to be expensive. Although there are a few cost-cutting alternatives available, they will significantly reduce your experience gain per hour.

Depending on the type of account you have, it may be more advantageous to invest your time in money-making using the faster training methods. This approach can ultimately save you time that would have been spent on slower training options.

Levels 1-54 – Cutting Opals

Opals are an excellent and affordable option for training Crafting, even beyond level 20. Although you will end up with many crushed gems, they are so inexpensive that the cost is still lower than what you would typically spend on other materials.

• Experience per hour: ~25,000
• Drinks required: ~13,000

Levels 46-87/99 – Non-Powered Orbs

To use this method, you will require a glass blowing pipe and molten glass. Crafting training with glass blowing can be a profitable approach. Despite being overlooked by many, it is a fast and inexpensive method. Players typically utilize unpowered orbs and charge them as a means of earning money.

• Experience per hour: 80,000
• Molten glass needed: 74,368

Levels 58-87 – Diamond Bracelets

You can create diamond bracelets by having a cut diamond, a gold bar, and a bracelet mold in your inventory. This technique is a little quicker than using unpowered orbs, and much less expensive. However, it is not as AFK as creating orbs.

• Experience per hour: 90,000
• Gold bars and diamonds needed: 39,451

Levels 74-99 – Dragonstone Bracelets

The process for making dragonstone bracelets is the same as diamond bracelets, except you use dragonstones instead. The drawback of this method is that dragonstones have a low buying limit, which makes it hard to buy them in bulk unless you already have a decent amount in your bank. Nevertheless, if you can afford the initial investment, it’s a fast and cost-effective method.

• Experience per hour: 140,000
• Gold Bars & Dragon Stones Needed: 108.529

Levels 87-99 – Orbs

This glass-blowing product is faster than unpowered orbs, but it’s non-tradable. As a result, you lose all the money you invested in the required molten glass.

• Experience per hour: 120,000
• Molten glass needed: 129.460

Making Quests:

Remember that many quests offer Crafting experience as a reward upon completion. So, when you begin training the Crafting skill, keep this in mind! Crafting can be very costly, therefore, take advantage of these small boosts.

1-99 Guide (F2P)

Crafting is a skill available in F2P, but the options for gaining a significant amount of experience are limited. However, it is a cost-effective skill and some methods can even generate a small profit.

As an F2P player, it is strongly recommended to complete the three quests Sheep Shearer, Goblin Diplomacy, and Misthalin Mystery. These quests offer a total of 950 Crafting experience, which can boost your Crafting level to 8.

Levels 1-5 – Leather Gloves

To make leather chaps, you will need a needle and thread along with some leather. With just over an inventory of leather, you can reach level 5 in Crafting.

• Leather Needed: 29

Levels 5-22/99 – Gold Jewelery

To train Crafting in a slow but profitable way, use gold bars and specific jewelry shapes to create different types of gold jewelry such as amulets and bracelets. This method can yield a nice profit and is a good option for F2P players aiming to reach level 99.

• Gold bars needed: ~230

Levels 22-99 – Sapphire Necklaces

This method is profitable for reaching level 99, but it’s not very AFK as only 13 can be made per stock. You’ll need to purchase gold bars and cut sapphires. These can be transformed into Games Necklaces for P2P members and are often sold at a good price. This method is faster than making normal gold jewelry but requires more attention.

• Gold bars and sapphires needed: 236.888

Levels 70-99 – Diamond Amulets

Diamond amulets require the same process as sapphire necklaces, but with the amulet shape. Although this method does not yield any profit, it is relatively cheap and fast. If you plan on reselling the supplies, you may need to buy them in segments since it can be quite expensive.

• Gold bars and diamonds needed: 122,969
• Experience per hour: 120.00
