Make Gold in RuneScape by Crafting

When playing Runescape there are many ways to make money. In this article we'll detail the techniques to use in order to earn gold by raising your crafting skill in Runescape, either as a non-member or a member.

Steps

Non-Member Technique

  1. Complete the Sheep Shearer quest to get your crafting skill to level three.
  2. Kill cows and pick up their hides.
  3. Drop off the cowhides at the Lumbridge Bank, located at the top of the castle.
  4. When you have about 200 cowhides get 210 GP and go to Al-Kharid.
    • You must pay a 10 coins toll to enter the gate, unless you have completed the Prince Ali Rescue quest.
  5. Go to the tannery and tan your cowhides. Repeat until you have tanned all your cowhides.
  6. Locate the Crafting store near the general store in Al-Kharid.
    • If you have level 40 or higher in crafting you can also go to the Crafting Guild.
  7. Buy a 100 count of thread and a needle.
  8. Use your needle on the cowhides to make gloves. Repeat for all 200 cowhides.
  9. Sell your gloves at the general store. Gloves should sell for around 1-2 coins
    • If the price offered goes down that means the store may be maxed out on gloves. Switch worlds and use another general store to sell at your target price.
  10. It is better off to sell the gloves at the Grand Exchange (6-8 coins)
  11. After getting a higher crafting level, make leather bodies or other armour for higher experience points.

Member Technique

  1. Pick Flax from Seers Village or optionally buy it from the grand exchange
  2. Now find a Crafting wheel and Craft the flax into bow strings. 
  3. Sell them at the grand exchange after. They are really very good for making money and they give 15 crafting XP per bowstring

Tips

  • Making a great deal of money this way can be time consuming. Once you have a decent amount of money consider other money making methods like becoming a merchant.
  • Read the related wikiHow on other ways to make money in Runescape.
  • If you have a main account, just buy the cowhides already tanned or you can dig them up from the city.
  • If you continue with these techniques you will eventually raise your crafting level to 99 which earns you a Skillcape of Crafting.

Warnings

  • Don't resort to cheating to make money! It WILL get you banned.
