[Skilling] In-Depth Crafting Guide

[52xp 308]

 CRAFTING 

Crafting, provided you have the supplies, is one of the fastest 99s you can achieve here on Runex. All you will be doing is cutting gems, converting raw hides and creating shiny jewelry on your way to 99 Crafting - all of which can be done with very high experience rates per hour.

2.) General Information

There are several different ways you can train Crafting, all of which are "okay" paths to take.

Spoiler

No matter your method to 99, you should get a couple of levels first using a  Needle,  Thread and some  Leather. 

To maximize efficiency on Runex, you want to obtain 20 Crafting using this method.

 1-7 ~  Leather Gloves

 7-11 ~  Leather Boots

 11-18 ~  Leather Vambs

 18-20 ~  Leather Chaps

After achieving 20 Crafting, move on to the next step - Efficient Method - found below.

3.) Efficient Method

The fastest way to train Crafting from 1 to 99 by far:

Spoiler

If you have the money, the most efficient way to train Crafting is by cutting gems (easier to obtain than hides).

 20-27 ~  Uncut Sapphires

 27-34 ~  Uncut Emeralds

 34-43 ~  Uncut Rubies

 43-55 ~  Uncut Diamonds

 55-99 ~  Uncut Dragonstones

Alternatively, if you're extremely rich, you could instead use:

 55-72 ~  Uncut Dragonstones

 72-99 ~  Uncut Onyxes

4.) Alternative Method(s)

While cutting gems is the quickest way to 99, there are several other methods..

  Crafting Zenyte Jewelry  

A lot of players seem to have trouble crafting Zenyte jewelry - so I figured we'd touch on that.

First you need to create the Uncut Zenyte gem itself - here's how:

 Zenyte Shard +  Cut Onyx =  Uncut Zenyte

Once you have the Uncut Zenyte, cut it to obtain a  Zenyte gem.

With this, you need a  Gold Bar and the corresponding  Mould.

Find a Furnace (found at ::dzone or East of ::home's bank) and use the  Gold Bar on it.

Upon doing so, you should be greeted with an interface for crafting Zenyte jewelry, like normal. :^)

Pretty straight forward guide, could be beefed up by adding in methods of obtaining certain resources such as elf pickpocketting for uncut dragon stones, rogues chest for uncut diamonds, dragons dropping noted tanned hides etc.
It would also be nice to include the crafting cape and it's perk, exp per hour methods for the common resources such as high end uncut gems, and achievements and their rewards such as the regular crafting achievements and the 1500 leather items crafted.

You should also add mystic tokens to the useful information section and a little section guiding players how to make zenyte jewellery since that seems to be a common issue.

I like guides for their little tips and tricks rather than just 'here is how do you it, here is the exp'.

I plan to add everything you've suggested & more in the near future, just pumping out nearly complete skeletons for the time being to finish up in the coming days.

Appreciate the feedback as always, @Logical. <3

Great guide. One thing I believe I did not see was jewelry making. Explicitly furies, moulds, as well as some of the higher tier jewelry like crafting the amulet of torture and the ones requiring shards and additional items.

oh is glassblowing in game as well? If so that is crafting right? If not, ignore it haha

Nonetheless excellent guide! 😁

I have added how to Craft Zenyte Jewelry under the `Other Useful Info` section.

The only reason I didn't touch on other methods of training is because they are expensive or very inefficient. 

 

Thanks for the feedback. ♥

Makes sense. I was just not sure how to make them the other day, so it came to me, what if someone else wanted to know how as well.

you are welcome bud ❤️👊🏻
