Crafting guide
Introduction
In this guide i will tell you how to train crafting, what the fastest and most efficient ways are to lvl up to 99 and eventually prestige the skill. Crafting is a wide variety skill that ranges from creating armor from leather, to making jewelry. While there are a lot of ways to train crafting on OSRS, as of currently we only offer limited, but possibly the best training methods. I will take you through each of these methods and will show you a possible route of what is the most efficient way to lvl up crafting.
Leathercrafting
Crafting leather armor is the way to start training crafting at lvl 1. There are different types of leathers, black dragonleather being the highest, which can be utilised to train to 99 crafting. You can start out training crafting by obtaining cowhide. Cowhide is dropped by cows. You can bring cowhides to a tanner who can make it into soft leather. At a later stage, you can get your cowhides turned into hardleather, for training at a higher lvl. At even a higher lvl you can get dragonhides from coloured dragons, ranging respectively from lowest to highest requirement, green, blue, red or black dragonhides. The tanner can turn these into dragonleather, which can be used to make dragonhide armour. To craft any leather armor you need a needle and thread, which can be bought from the skilling shop at home. Crafting a leather item always uses 1 thread.
Soft leather
Soft leather can be used to make basic leather ranging equipment. You can start training crafting at lvl 1 by creating leather cowls. Higher lvl items yield higher xp, but possibly use more leather. The tendency of using more leather to craft an item almost always results in a higher XP/h. Creating any item with soft leather requires 1 piece of leather.
Note: In game, soft leather is named leather, but since the next tier is called hard leather, normal leather is usually mentioned as soft leather, although you will never see an item named soft leather, only the tanner mentions it as soft leather.

Hard leather
Hard leather can be used to craft hard leather ranged equipment. You can start making hard leather items at lvl 28 crafting. Higher lvl items yield higher XP. Creating a Hard leather shield uses 2 pieces of hard leather, the other items only use 1 piece of leather.
