Pay-to-play Crafting training

This guide will help you train Crafting in various different ways, from level 1 to 99. This guide is intended for members, but free players can also do some of these actions.

Jewellery making
Jewellery making is a common way to train crafting. Making amulets with gems consists of several steps, considering:
 * 1) Buy or obtain gem,
 * 2) Buy or obtain gold bar
 * 3) Cut the gem
 * 4) Smelt the gem and gold bar in a furance.
 * 5) Use ball of wool on the amulet to string it,
 * 6) Sell it.

For jewellery other than amulets, step 5 is omitted, for pure gold jewellery, step 1 and 3 are omitted. You can make up to 1,100 gemmed pieces of jewellery per hour, depending on your level of concentration and speed during randoms with a few missclicks.

Buying or obtaining gems
Gems can only be obtained in a few ways for players: Random events; purchasing from Grand Exchange, shops or players, mining, stealing from safes, monster drops, the Gnome Restaurant activity or the sapphire spawn in deep wilderness. Uncut gems can be cut for crafting experience, but cut gems are much cheaper. Below is a list of cost of buying uncut and cut gems at GE: Be noticed though, the cost of buying cut gems will mostly be compensated but buying uncut gems will cause major loss.

Buying or obtaining gold bar
Gold bars can be obtained in two ways: smelting gold ore which needs 40 smithing or directly buying from GE. The current prices of gold ore and gold bars are coins and  coins respectively, which gives purchasers distinct advantage, since the difference in GE price is determined by so-called Goldsmithing for members. With goldsmithing gauntlets obtained from the quest Family crest, very large portion of smithing experience is gained, but this doesn't change the fact of major loss.

Smelting jewellery
A close furnace should be chosen to mass-produce jewellery. The best furnaces to use are Al-Kharid for F2p players, and Port Phasmatys for P2p. An amulet mould, necklace mould or ring mould is brought along with equal number of gold bars and cut gems. A detailed experience table can be seen in the Crafting article. Rings require the lowest level to craft, necklaces give the best reward of cash, and amulets bears maximum experience and highest requirement, while carrying some inconvenience as stringing is needed. Unstrung amulets can be sold on the Grand Exchange to players wishing to train magic via the String Jewellery spell under the Lunar Magicks.

A player can buy cut sapphires or emeralds, cosmic runes, and gold bars and smelt them into sapphire necklaces or emerald rings. Then they can enchant them and sell the finished games necklaces or rings of duelling for a profit, while gaining valuable crafting and magic experience.

Stringing amulets
Ball of wool can be bought at GE for coins each, or using spinning wheel to spin wool. Casual players can take advantage of Fred the farmer's farm, which sheep inhabit the area and spawn of shears is available. The closest spinning wheel from the farm is on the first floor of the castle.

At level 80 magic the String Jewelry spell can be cast to automatically string all amulets in a player's inventory. This is much more expensive than using a ball of wool, but is a good way to train Magic quickly.

Enchanting
With sufficient magic level, jewelry with gems installed can be enchanted, though enchanting gives magic xp rather than crafting xp. Depended on the item being enchanted, the amount of profit or loss can be different. Emerald Rings are currently one of the best items to enchant for money.

Yaks
Make Yak-hide legs. Making legs gives the same amount of experience as bodies, but uses only 1 hide rather than 2.
