OSRS Crafting training guide
Makes jewellery, leather, glass and battlestaves. Expensive but fast.
About Crafting
Crafting covers a wide range of production: gem cutting, jewellery, dragonhide armour, glassblowing and battlestaves. Most routes cost GP.
It is worth training past 70 for the dragonhide bodies and the ability to make your own teleport jewellery.
Fastest training
Rates assume an attentive player with the gear and unlocks that make each method work. Real sessions include banking, breaks and mistakes.
Battlestaves at the Crafting Guild
The standard high-level route. Fast, simple and predictable, at a cost of several hundred GP per staff.
Glassblowing
Cheaper than battlestaves but slower, and the products sell reasonably well.
Dragonhide bodies
Slower and more expensive but the products hold value, so the net cost is lower than it first looks.
Other approaches
- Cheapest
- Cutting gems you have gathered yourself, or spinning flax at the Lumbridge wheel in the very early levels.
- Profitable
- Cutting uncut gems and stringing amulets can both turn a small profit depending on live prices.
- Free-to-play
- Leather crafting, gold jewellery and gem cutting are all available. Free players commonly craft gold amulets.
