Crafting

Special Thanks to Social Sammy, Frankie, Joystick11, Cameron, Knil, Scandal, Bboyjyoung, Neo Avatars, Nazgand, Havesometea1, Wiseguy63000, Damaged500, Hawk, Dawesbr, Ambo100, Roy, Desireful, snypirette, giggsy664, Denboy, Roy, Hawk, Spirit HC Crafting is a valuable skill in RuneScape, giving you the ability to make pottery, leather, craft your own jewelry and Battle Staffs, make vials and orbs from hot sand, as well as other helpful uses.
Pottery making is a great way to begin crafting because it gives a nice amount of experience and it's fairly straightforward. Its main purpose is to help you with cooking, since the things you make with it are used to hold ingredients. Getting Started First, mine some Clay from the west Varrock mine, and buy a jug from any local General Store. Fill it with water from a sink or fountain, and use it with the clay to create some Soft Clay. Head to the Barbarian Village, and use the soft clay with a Pottery Wheel inside one of the houses. Now use the pottery with the Pottery Oven to bake it into a useable item.
Another good way to work on crafting is to make different kinds of armor from leather. If you have a few GP to spare, you can make a small profit from leather items. Getting Started Start by killing some Cows near Lumbridge, gathering their cow hides. You'll also need some money, including 10gp to cross the toll gate, if you haven't done the Prince Ali Rescue quest. Depending on your level (and what you want to make) Soft Leather costs 1gp, and Hard Leather costs 3gp each. You'll also need a Needle (1gp) and some Thread (1gp), which lasts 4 leather items.
  The Tanner can be found in the west part of Al Kharid, so speak to him and choose the type and number of leather you wish him to make from the graphical menu.  Now use your needle with the leather and choose the item you wish to craft.
Notes
If you're a Member, you'll have the ability to wear Snakeskin Armor, which is slightly stronger than regular leather. Crafting this type of armor is just like making regular leather, and you'll need some Thread and a Needle. Head to the village of Tai Bwo Wannai, located on the island of Karamja and kill some Bush Snakes to obtain their snakeskins. They must then be tanned by a Tanner for 15gp each, and then you can craft them into armor.
Dragonhide Leather is available only to Members, but it is much stronger than regular Leather items. It's made from the hide of Dragons, and there are 4 different kinds of Dragonhide:
Making Dragonhide Leather items is much like making regular Leather. You first need to kill some Dragons of the color you need and pick up their Dragonhide. Once you have all of the hides you need, bring them back to the Tanner in Al Kharid so that he can make them into Dragonhide Leather. Then just use a Needle and Thread as you normally would to make an item. Vambraces require 1 Dragonhide, Chaps require 2 pieces, and Bodies require 3.
After getting a bit more advanced at the art of crafting, it's about time to move onto jewelry. You can get a huge profit from crafting jewelry, and many of the things you can make give lots of experience.
For each kind of jewelry you make, you will need several things to get started with crafting it. Your local crafting shops in Al Kharid and Rimmington will have many of the tools you need to get going. Bars You'll need to smelt bars of
either Silver Moulds After making your metal bars, use the bar with the furnace to smelt it and fill the mould.
Other Tools
To start making jewelry, use a bar of either silver or gold (depending on what you wish to make) with the furnace. A graphical screen will come up with choices of what you can make. Objects that you can craft will be colored in, while things you can't make will be gray. After getting a little better at crafting you will have a chance to put gems in your jewelry, which enhances possible abilities and makes it more valuable, on top of giving more experience. You first need to cut the gem and have it in your inventory when you make jewelry. Then just select the kind of jewelry you want to craft. Gems can be sold to either the gem trader in Al Kharid or Falador.
Crafting Notes - Crushed Gems Opals, Jades, and Red Topaz can become a Crushed Gemstone if you fail to cut them. You will still receive a small amount of experience. You can also crush them using a Hammer. Rings can be enchanted by members to make them more powerful and add some interesting effects when used. Both regular and enchanted rings can be worn on your hand, and un-enchanted ones can be sold to the Jeweler in Port Sarim. Check the Magic guide for more info about Enchanting.
Necklaces generally have no purpose other than to look expensive, except for the Burthorpe Games Room Necklace and Necklace of Binding, explained in the Magic guide. They can also be sold to the Jeweller in Port Sarim.
Bracelets are similar to other jewelry in the way that they can be enchanted using a magic Enchant spell to give them special effects when worn. These can be equipped and are worn in the gloves spot. Please see the Enchantment section in the Magic guide for further information on the different effects of bracelets.
One of the most valuable items that you can craft are amulets. They give lots of experience, their value is greater, and they can be enchanted. Check the Magic guide for more info about Enchanting.
Silver items require a mould for the object, as well as a Silver Bar. Just use a Silver Bar with a Furnace while carrying the mould and you'll be able to choose what you wish to make from a list of items. Holy Symbols are powerful icons, crafted to honor the God Saradomin. You'll need a Holy Symbol Mould to craft 1. When it's blessed it will add 8 points to prayer, which slows the drain rate of your prayers. Unholy Symbols will give the same bonus to your prayer, but it's a Members-Only item. To make 1, you'll need an Unholy Mould which can be obtained from the Spirit of Scorpius in the graveyard north of the Observatory after completing the Observatory Quest. Silver Sickles are used in the Nature Spirit quest and are Members-Only. They require a Sickle Mould. For more info about blessing Holy and Unholy Symbols, check the Prayer Guide. Tiaras are used in Runecrafting and require a Tiara Mould. Just craft the Tiara as you would make any other Silver item, and then bring it to the Runecrafting Altar of your choice, along with the same type of Talisman. Then just use the Tiara on the Talisman to enchant it into that type of Talisman. You can now wear it and have access to that Temple! Check out the Runecrafting guide for more info.
Stringing Objects There are several things you'll need to string before you can use them, including Amulets, Holy & Unholy Symbols, as well as bows.
Stringing Amulets
Stringing Bows
Stringing Crossbows
Tree Roots
To help you carry your Farmed produce around, Members are able to weave their own produce containers. You just need to bring the required items to the Loom in Sarah's Farming Shop, which can be found south of Falador in the farmhouse (there is also a Loom in the Elf Camp). Just use the items on the loom to weave it into 1 of the available produce containers.
Vegetable Sacks hold 10 pieces of produce, while Fruit Baskets hold 5. Members have the ability to make glass items from sand. It's a great way to build your experience, since everything you need to get started can be found on the island and you don't need to travel from place to place to find the things you need. But first we should make a quick shopping list. Ingredients to Glass
Making Glass Firstly, just put all of your weapons and armor into the bank since you can't bring them to Entrana. Buy a bucket or 2 from the General store to hold your sand. If you don't want to wait for seaweed to wash up on the beach of Entrana, you can fish for some with a Big Net in Catherby. There is also a respawn on the northern side of the river that runs through Shilo Village.
Note: You can also buy up to 80 Seaweed per day from Arhein in Catherby for 2gp each. If you've completed Part 4 of Recipe for Disaster, you can also dive for Kelp in the area you discovered during the quest. This can be cooked on a range just like Seaweed to make Soda Ash.
Notes
Crafting & Enchanting Battle Staffs Battle Staffs are useful weapons in RuneScape because once equipped, it takes the place of an elemental Rune. If you enchant one, its power and attack will increase and it will become stronger. Ingredients to a Good Battle Staff
Once you've got everything together, you're about ready to start making a Battle Staff. Decide what kind you want, but remember that at level 56 you can only make a Battle Staff of Water. Take the staff and orb to the correct Obelisk and cast the charge spell on it, which will charge the orb. Obelisk Locations
Once you've charged the orb for your Battle Staff, it's time to craft it onto the staff itself by using the orb with the staff. You can have it enchanted by Thormac the Sorcerer, provided you have already done the Scorpion Catcher Quest. To have him enchant it, you need to pay a nominal fee of just 40,000gp.
For maps and other info specific to making and enchanting Battle Staffs, see the Battle Staff guide. Besides crafting jewelry and making Battle Staffs, there are several other things that you are able to make with your Crafting Skill. Colored Capes If you have a Cape of any color, you have the ability to dye it another color. Capes are occasionally dropped by Goblins and Highway Men. To dye a cape, you'll need to buy some Dye from Aggie in Draynor Village, and then use the Dye with the Cape to change the color. Prices for dyes include 5gp and:
You can also mix these basic color dyes into other colors, such as purple or green.
Snelms Snail Shell Helms, or Snelms, can be crafted by Members after they have finished the Priest in Peril Quest. Snails can be found in the Mort Myre Swamp, and once you kill one pick up its shell and use a Chisel with it. You need at least 15 Crafting to cut the shell, and you'll get 32.5xp for cutting each shell. For more info about Snelms, check out the Snail Shell Helm Guide. Mort'ton Temple During the Shades of Mort'ton Quest, Members need to rebuild the nearby temple using Limestone Bricks (among other materials). You can cut Limestone into Bricks by using a Chisel, and you'll receive 6xp. Limestone can be mined from the Limestone Mine northeast of Varrock, or bought in the Shop in Mort'ton. For repairing the temple, you'll get 5 Crafting experience each time you repair a part of it. Check out the Shades of Mort'ton Quest guide for more info. Lunar Ceremonial Outfit During the Lunar Diplomacy Quest, you'll be able to make the Lunar Ceremonial Outfit. Each piece requires one Suqah Hide, and you'll need level 61 crafting to make the full set.
