Let me guess, you're out there in Runescape and all of a sudden you want to start crafting? Nothing wrong with that! It is a great skill to have. Nevertheless, to have it worthwhile, you have to have a high level. So, let me give you some quick ways to up that level of yours. I raised mine so that I could do the Lost City quest. I thought for a little while of a quick way to raise it from a low level. Then it hit me, Varrok! All you need is a couple buckets, a chef's hat to get into the cooking guild, and a pick axe. First go to the cooking guild, then go south. Mine a bunch of clay and go inside the cooking guild. Fill the buckets with water and make soft clay. Now head to Barbarian Village and make them into Pots, Pie Dishes, Bowls, and so on to get those levels up.

Although I have not worked on my crafting since then, I have heard dozens of techniques on how to get crafting levels up. Actually, there are quite a few ways. Crafting offers many different things to make, and as such many different ways to get that experience. A few different things include, Leather, Snakeskin Leather, Dragonhide, Jewelry, and even some weapons! So lets look at the many different things that you can make.

Let's start with Glass. There are eight different things you can make in the glass category. These include; the Bullseye Lantern Lens, an Orb, the Fish Bowl, a Vial, an Oil Lantern, the Oil Lamp, a Candle Lantern, and a Beer Glass. Beer Glasses can be made at level 1 crafting. You can also make Battle Staffs, which when you charge them also gives magic experience.

You can also make weapons and armor. You can make Lunar Armor with crafting, everything from the Torso to the Boots, to the Legs, and all the way back to the gloves. The experience for these ranges anywhere from 25-35 experience points according to what part you are crafting. Or you could use silver and craft a Silver Sickle which can be used as a weapon.

Ok, lets move on to Jewelry, which is one of my favorite crafting skills. You're going to need a good smithing level, a friend with a good smithing level, or a lot of cash for this one. I prefer to mine and smith my own gold bars, and then make my own jewelry, so that I know it was all made by my hands. (Or my character's hands that is, Ha-ha.)

Let's talk about all the different gems. You have Onyx, Dragonstone, Red Topaz, Rubies, Sapphires, Emeralds, Diamonds, Jade, and Opals! It can be very confusing if you're out there trying to make an Opal ring. (This can't be done.) So now, let's see what CAN be made. There are about seven different types of each jewelry that can be made - Gold, Sapphire, Emerald, Ruby, Diamond, Dragonstone, and Onyx. These apply to Rings, Bracelets, Necklaces, and of course Amulets. Amulets can be strung into other sorts of Necklaces. Almost every jewelry can be enchanted to do something special. Like the Sapphire amulet can be stung and made into an Amulet of Magic, or a Emerald Ring into a Ring of Dueling. The possibilities are Limitless! (Well, they ARE limited.. but there are a lot of different things you can do with crafting.)

Crafting is a big skill. There are all kinds of stuff you can do with it, and Jagex is always thinking of new ones. So if you are ever bored one day, go out and craft! Runescape-Blog.com Happy Playing!
