Crafting

Leather crafting
Leather crafting is by far the fastest and most useful part of crafting. You can craft leather by obtaining cowhides or dragonhides from cows and dragons or by thieving leather from the stall.

Thieving leather:




 * Trade the Tanner


 * The stuff you'll need is a needle, thread and cash.


 * Use the needle with the leather.


 * It pops up a screen what you can make. Make anything you want to.


 * You can also create dragonhide armor using a needle (obtained from the Al Kharid crafting store shown below) with tanned dragonhides (which will be tanned for a price at the same location).
 * Talk to the tanner.
 * Choose what you like to tan.


 * Use the needle with the kind of dragonhide.


 * Make bodies (most XP).

Jewellery crafting
You also have the option to create jewellery such as amulets and rings using crafting.

You can craft Jewellery by doing the following:
 * You can obtain gold bars by mining and smithing gold ore.
 * You then need to obtain gems which are mostly obtained by thieving, monster drops or the gem stalls.
 * Buy the appropriate mould from the shop in Al Kharid next to the furnace (see picture below).
 * If you are creating an amulet also buy a bowstring from this shop.
 * Use the gold bar with the furnace and you will see the interface shown below.





Gem stores
There are two gem stalls located north of the Al Kharid teleport and south of Falador west bank. These stores use the same stock with 10 of each basic gem in them.



Leveling advice

 * You should start out by creating leather items from tanned leather until you reach around level 20.
 * Cutting gems is good experience from level 20 onwards to about level 57.
 * Once you are level 57+ you are able to create dragonhide leather armour which is very useful, fast experience and can often be sold to the shop to make a nice profit!
