Boosts

There are several items you can use to increase the rate at which you train the Crafting skill:

Name Description
  Ancient Ring of Skills The Ancient Ring of Skills is a rare drop that can be found while   Fishing. It increases the XP gained from non-combat skills by 8%.
  Pyro The Firemaking pet provides a +1% boost to XP gained in any skill.
  Firemaking Skillcape The Firemaking Skillcape provides a +5% boost to XP gained in any skill when worn.
  Perpetual Haste After beating the   Air God Dungeon players can purchase Perpetual Haste, which decreases the time per action for Crafting and Fletching by 20%
  Caaarrrlll Once acquired, the Crafting pet reduces the time per action while Crafting by 0.3s
  Crafting Skillcape The Crafting Skillcape reduces the time per action by 50%, making it very useful for players looking to keep gaining XP after reaching 99.
  Crafting Potion The Crafting Potion can be made at   Level 49 and provides a chance to double the xp gained on any given crafting action.

Acquiring Materials

Although it is possible to receive   Leather and   Dragonhides from fighting various Monsters, it is much faster to buy them from the Shop. Leather can be purchased directly from the shop for 100  per pieces, and Dragonhides can be purchased for an amount of GP and Leather depending on the tier. This guide will assume you are purchasing all materials from the store as gathering them via combat will take substantially longer than it would to make the money through other means.

Early Training

From level 1 to level 57, players should make the best leather item they can. Jewelry materials cannot be feasibly acquired in large enough quantities to offer a real alternative, although players who already have   Gold Bars and gems on hand may choose to mix them in to speed things up slightly.

Levels XP Needed Item XP/Item Profit/Item Count Total Profit Time
1-7 650   Leather Gloves 13 -25  50 -1,250  2 minutes, 30.00 seconds
7-9 319   Leather Boots 16 -25  20 -500  1 minute
9-11 389   Leather Cowl 18 -25  22 -550  1 minute, 6.00 seconds
11-14 749   Leather Vambraces 22 -25  35 -875  1 minute, 45.00 seconds
14-18 1,416   Leather Body 25 -25  57 -1,425  2 minutes, 51.00 seconds
18-57 199,731   Leather Chaps 27 -25  7398 -184,950  6 hours, 9 minutes, 54.00 seconds
Totals
1-57 203,254 7,582 -189,550  6 hours, 19 minutes, 6.00 seconds

Green Dragonhide

From levels 57 to 71, items made out of   Green Dragonhide are the most efficient XP/level. Since Green Dragonhide can effectively be purchased from the shop for 200  per piece and items made from Green Dragonhide sell for an amount equal to 200  per piece of dragonhide required, making Green Dragonhide items is cost neutral as a baseline and will actually turn a small profit thanks to materials saved by the   Mastery effect.

Levels XP Needed Item XP/Item Count Time
57-60 70,488   Green D-hide Vambraces 50 1,410 1 hour, 10 minutes, 30.00 seconds
60-63 94,857   Green D-hide Chaps 99 959 47 minutes, 57.00 seconds
63-71 445,846   Green D-hide Body 148 3,013 2 hours, 30 minutes, 39.00 seconds
Totals
57-71 611,191 5,382 4 hours, 29 minutes, 6.00 seconds

Final Levels

After reaching level 71, players have a choice: They can continue training using   Green D-hide Bodies all the way to 99 while turning a small profit or they can begin creating   Blue D-hide bodies and gain slightly faster XP in exchange for losing money. There are three routes from 71 to 99:

All Green Dragonhide

Levels XP Needed Item XP/Item Count Time
71-99 12,219,986   Green D-hide Body 148 82,568 2 days, 20 hours, 48 minutes, 24.00 seconds

All Blue Dragonhide

Levels XP Needed Item XP/Item Profit/Item Count Total Profit Time
71-99 12,219,986   Blue D-hide Body 168 -150  72,739 -10,910,850  2 days, 12 hours, 36 minutes, 57.00 seconds
