Cutting sapphires f2p
Near-free chisel xp that works in F2P; slide up to emeralds at 27 and rubies at 34 as they unlock. ยท 50 xp/sapphire
20 125,000 -0.3 โ€” โ€”

Where serious body-sewing begins; step up to blue (71) and red (77) hides as your bankroll allows. ยท 186 xp/body

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. ยท 258 xp/body

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.
