This page contains a list of ways to make money using the Crafting skill.

Effectiveness (Coins per hour)	Crafting level requirement	Details	Initial investment
***** 73,000	Level 1	Buy cowhides from the Grand Exchange (for 181 coins each) and tan them into leather at the tanner in Al-Kharid, using the bank just south of the tanner to swap completed hides for soft or hard leather. Although the official price for selling leather is 223 coins, there are so many players selling it that it's difficult to get much more than the minimum price of 190 coins. Killing the cows and gathering the hides yourself (instead of buying them) gives more profit but much less experience per hour.	181 coins per cowhide
***** 56,000 to 140,000	Level 1	Buy black robes and blue dye from the Grand Exchange, use the dye on the robes and sell the resulting wizard robes. You only make 104 coins profit per robe, but you can do this so quickly that the resulting profit can be good. Sometimes blue dye is scarce on the Grand Exchange and you can wait a long time to purchase the desired quantities of it. The best method for this is to first purchase equal numbers of black robes and blue dyes, empty your inventory, then withdraw 13 black robes, 13 blue dyes, and then 1 more of each - this sets your inventory so that there is one dye and one robe in the bottom-right corner. To dye the robes, click on the blue dye and then the black robe in the bottom-right corner; the actual dying will be performed on the first available dye and robe in your inventory, leaving the two in the bottom-right corner unmoved. Only dye 13 of them, leaving the two in the bottom right, deposit the 13 wizard robes then repeat the process (withdrawing 13 of each this time) - this lets you limit your mouse motion to one small area as you switch between clicking on the blue dye and clicking on the black robe. A loop of 13 wizard robes takes as little as 27 seconds. There isn't a "dye all" option so you must click for each robe you want to dye. The range of profit is dependant on the size of your initial investment; you can only reach the maximum effectiveness if you have a full 1,483,200 coins available initially - this allow you to purchase 1,600 black robes and blue dyes at one time, and as a result can spend most of your time dying robes. If instead you have a smaller investment, you will spend most of your time buying & selling (which does not generate profit).	927 coins per robe and dye
***** 36,000 to 87,000	Level 1	Hard clay can be mass-bought and wetted with water, making soft clay and be sold, for profit of 121 coins with each clay processed currently. The newest place of bank being closest to a water source is Falador west bank. Below the demostration of transforming the clay efficiently will be shown. Firstly, Make sure 14 jugs or buckets are at inventory, along with 14 pieces of clay. Water can be obtained at water pump just north of the bank. By carrying the dry items (empty jug or bucket, and dry clay) to the pump, obtain water, pour the clay and AGAIN obtain water, then return to bank. At bank, deposit the soft clay, withdraw 14 clay, wet them, deposit the new soft clay and again withdraw dry clay. Then the inventory would carry all dry items again. Repeat the process until all the clay have become soft, and then they can be sold. It is worth noting that this doesnt actually increase your crafting skill.	135 coins per piece of clay
*** Expression error: Unexpected < operator to Expression error: Unexpected < operator**	Level 40	Once level 40 crafting is acheived, and with your brown apron, you have access to the Crafting Guild. Take with you a pickaxe and some buckets. The more buckets you take, the quicker you can work, but less inventory space for the finished items. Mine clay and use buckets to make into soft clay. Use soft clay on potters wheel to make either Pie Dish for Non-Mems, or Plant pot for Members, then fire in the pottery oven. Then bank it, either run to Falador or Cabbage teleport and use Draynor. Additionally for members, when you get to the cabbage patch, use a rake to weed any plot then use a trowel to fill your plant pots (an unfilled plant pot is relatively worthless at 2 coins each).	}}
