This article is about training the Crafting skill. For the skill itself, see Crafting.

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 15%
Caaarrrlll Once acquired, the Crafting pet reduces the time per action while Crafting by 0.2s
Crafting Skillcape The Crafting Skillcape reduces the time per action by 0.5s, making it very useful for players looking to keep gaining XP after reaching 99.

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 GP 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 GP 50 −1,250 GP 2 minutes, 30.00 seconds
7-9 319 Leather Boots 16 −25 GP 20 −500 GP 1 minute
9-11 389 Leather Cowl 18 −25 GP 22 −550 GP 1 minute, 6.00 seconds
11-14 749 Leather Vambraces 22 −25 GP 35 −875 GP 1 minute, 45.00 seconds
14-18 1,416 Leather Body 25 −25 GP 57 −1,425 GP 2 minutes, 51.00 seconds
18-57 199,731 Leather Chaps 27 −25 GP 7398 −184,950 GP 6 hours, 9 minutes, 54.00 seconds
Totals
1-57 203,254 7,582 −189,550 GP 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 GP per piece and items made from Green Dragonhide sell for an amount equal to 200 GP 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
