Talk:Money making guide/Crafting (F2P)

I think that crafting battle staves should have a higher rating.

I am in the midst of getting my crafting level up to 66 and have been making and high alching earth battle staves almost on a daily basis. Per day, I am netting nearly 75K!

Here's how I'm doing it:

First, you need to complete the Hand in the Sand and Swan Song quests AND have completed at least the Medium tasks of the Varrock Achievement Diary.

You must also have 55 crafting and 60 magic.

At the Piscatoris Fishing Colony I pick up seaweed (there are two close respawns and they are very close to a bank and a range). With a full load I run down to the range and turn them into soda ash.

Each day I use a Ring of Dueling to teleport to Castle Wars and then I walk to Yanille (one could also teleport to the Watchtower). At Yanille I talk to Bert who puts 84 buckets of sand in my bank.

I then use the soda and sand to make molten glass (I like to do this at Piscatoris). Then I craft the glass into unpowered orbs.

I use a glory amulet to teleport to Edgeville where I grab a earth staff and a bunch of cosmic runes and go into the dungeon and turn the orbs into earth orbs.

Personally, I like to keep a couple hundred earth orbs in my bank so that I can go a couple of days without repeating the above tasks.

Then, each day I put on my Varrock Armour 2, run over to Zaff and buy 32 (27 and then 5) battle staffs @ 7000 gp (total cost 224K).

I then craft 32 earth battle staffs and then high alch them for 9300 each.

That means if I've gathered all the materials myself I am making 2300 profit on each staff (or 73,600 per load).

If I had Varrock armour 3 I could craft and alch 64 at a time, putting my daily profit at 145,200!!

Of course, if I buy the materials then my profit goes down.

Cosmic runes are actually the cheapest at around 150 each, but that is still a pretty good profit.

Now, I'm not saying this is the best or fastest way to make money.

But if you want to work on your Crafting skill anyway, it's a pretty good way to make money.

Certainly worthy of 3 stars in this guide.
