Crafting methods and rates

Rates here are what an ordinary Crafting session produces, from Leather bodies up to Amethyst dart tips.

Method	Lvl	XP/hr	GP/XP	To goal	Hours
Leather bodies Day-one starter with just a needle and thread; gloves and vambraces bridge levels 1-14 before bodies take over. · 25 xp/body	14	35,000	-7	491,873	351 hrs
Cutting sapphires f2p Near-free chisel xp that works in F2P; slide up to emeralds at 27 and rubies at 34 as they unlock. · 50 xp/sapphire	20	125,000	-0.3	245,937	98 hrs
Drift nets profit Weave 2 jute fibres per net at a loom; Fossil Island divers buy every net, so slow xp actually pays you. · 55 xp/net	26	55,000	+4	223,579	224 hrs
Cutting diamonds Fast mid-game chisel work that also runs in F2P; you eat the gem margin as the price of speed. · 107.5 xp/diamond	43	265,000	-8.5	114,389	46 hrs
Glassblowing (unpowered orbs) afk Make-all blows a whole inventory hands-free for ~50 seconds; light orbs at 87 bump each blow to 70 xp. · 52.5 xp/orb	46	85,000	-0.9	234,225	145 hrs
Water battlestaves High-alch the finished staves and this lands near break-even; earth, fire and air versions follow at 58/62/66. · 100 xp/battlestaff	54	220,000	-4.7	122,969	56 hrs
Green d'hide bodies Where serious body-sewing begins; step up to blue (71) and red (77) hides as your bankroll allows. · 186 xp/body	63	290,000	-8.6	66,112	42 hrs
Black d'hide bodies fastest The 2026 meta: a costume needle from Death on the Isle needs no thread, fitting 9 bodies per bank trip. · 258 xp/body	84	400,000	-19	—	25 hrs (84+)
Amethyst dart tips cheapest Chisel each amethyst into 8 tips for 60 xp; dart fletchers soak up the supply, keeping it nearly free. · 60 xp/amethyst	89	150,000	-0.2	—	55 hrs (89+)

About training Crafting

Crafting is the textbook buyable skill: you pull materials from the bank, click them together, and convert gp straight into xp at whatever speed your budget allows. Cheap routes like gem cutting, glassblowing and amethyst tips cost almost nothing, while big spenders sew dragonhide bodies at 400k+ xp an hour. Since the costume needle arrived, high-level leatherwork no longer even needs thread, and Crafting remains one of the few 99s a free-to-play account can realistically finish.

Did you know: Rushing 1-99 on black d'hide bodies means stitching 50,522 bodies from 151,566 dragon leathers - about 30 hours of nonstop sewing that torches roughly 250M gp, over 8M gp per hour.

How this Crafting estimate is built

10,083,058 XP separates level 84 from Crafting 99, out of 13,034,431 total. 25 hrs is the gap over 400,000 XP/hr on Black d'hide bodies; 39,082 is the same gap over 258 XP per body. One action every 2.3 seconds: that is what 400,000 XP/hr at 258 XP per body actually requires. Every row carries an action count here - all 9 Crafting methods - so that column is never blank. 18 nights at 1.4 hrs a day covers 25 hrs of Crafting. 36 hrs from level 1, if you switch at 14/20/26/43/46/54/63/84/89.

Decision example

10,083,058 XP: Black d'hide bodies converts it in 25 hrs, Green d'hide bodies in 35 hrs - 38% more clock. The faster row costs more: 191.6M gp against 86.7M gp for the same 10,083,058 XP. Low attention instead: Glassblowing (unpowered orbs) at 85,000 XP/hr.

Limits of the number

400,000 XP/hr is Black d'hide bodies over a session, 540,000 on a perfect tick. An hour of Black d'hide bodies burns about 7.6M gp in supplies. 19 GP/XP is dated 16 October 2026 - the next supply update moves it, the rate usually does not.

Crafting, level 84 to 99

10,083,058 XP - 77% of a whole 99 - explained twice. The 10,083,058 XP is identical in both rows, which leaves the Crafting rate to explain the 9.6 hrs.

Method	Rate	Actions	Active hours	GP/XP estimate
Black d'hide bodies	400,000 XP/hr	39,082	25 hrs	-191.6M gp
Green d'hide bodies	290,000 XP/hr	54,210	35 hrs	-86.7M gp

Black d'hide bodies saves 9.6 hrs over Green d'hide bodies, which is 38% of the slower total.

A practical Crafting route

Each of these 3 stages answers one question about Crafting: what to train on, and when to leave it behind.

1-40

Leather and early jewellery
Use leather or basic jewellery to reach glassblowing and gem options without overbuying low-level stock.
40-70

Choose glass, gems or battlestaves
Glass is steady XP, gems are simple to bank and battlestaves can offset cost when buy limits and margins cooperate.
70+

High-value jewellery or hides
Dragonstone jewellery and black d'hide can be fast or profitable depending on prices; run a margin check before a large purchase.

Crafting by goal

What changes the choice

Fastest: Use the method with the shortest bank loop and highest sustained actions, not merely the largest XP/action number.
Profit: Jewellery and battlestaves can reverse from profit to loss quickly; use the live Prices page before choosing a batch.
Ironman: Glassblowing and gems are often limited by collected materials, so replace GP/XP with an item-supply estimate.

Requirements and caveats

Furnace, mould, jewellery spell and bank location requirements can be more important than the crafting level.
GE margins exclude buy-limit friction and the time required to gather sand, seaweed or hides yourself.

Common mistakes to avoid

Comparing XP/action while ignoring the number of bank trips per inventory.
Assuming a profitable high-level item will remain profitable for the whole 99 supply.
