Tan hides and sew armour, cut gems and set them in gold, and build battlestaves. Dragonhide bodies and gem cutting carry you to 99, and zenyte jewellery tops it off.
Crafting makes armour, jewellery, battlestaves, pottery and glass from raw materials. Most of it uses a needle and thread for leather, a chisel for gems, or a furnace and mould for jewellery. XP on this page is base XP, before your game mode's rate is applied (see Game Modes).
Use a spinning wheel to turn wool into balls of wool (level 1) and flax into bowstrings (level 10). Bowstrings are what Fletching uses to string bows.
Take hides to a tanner and pay per hide.
| Leather | Cost per hide |
|---|---|
| Soft leather (cowhide) | 1 coin |
| Hard leather (cowhide) | 3 coins |
| Snakeskin | 15 or 20 coins |
| Green, blue, red, black or white dragon leather | 20 coins |
Use a needle on leather with thread in your inventory and choose what to make.

|---|---|---|---|
| Leather gloves | 1 | 13.8 | 1 leather |
| Leather boots | 7 | 16.25 | 1 leather |
| Leather cowl | 9 | 18.5 | 1 leather |

Vambraces take 1 dragon leather, chaps 2 and a body 3. Dragonhide is the main ranged armour, so it also sells well on the Trading Post.

|---|---|---|---|

| White | 82 / 86 | 84 / 172 | 87 / 258 |
Use a chisel on an uncut gem. Uncut gems come from mining gem rocks, from mining any rock now and then, from monster drops and from the stardust shop (see Gathering Skills).

Zulrah's scales charge the serpentine helm and toxic staff. Charges are stored on your character, not the item, so a charged item you trade arrives empty.
