Crafting - Extra Features

September 11th, 2006 by Eva

Crafting Guild

The Crafting Guild can be entered once you have a Crafting level of at least 40, but only if you are wearing a brown apron. It is located west of Port Sarim and north of Rimmington.

Inside the Guild you will find a number of things to help with your Crafting, including a pottery oven, pottery wheels, spinning wheels, a sink, gold, silver and clay rocks, a tanner and a number of other useful items.

Training Hints and Tips

  • Leather is a quick and cheap method to raise your Crafting level.
  • Crafting bowstrings (members only) is not only cost effective but will give you the opportunity to make a profit selling to fletchers.
  • Visit Entrana when making glass objects as everything you will need is there apart from a bucket!
  • Miners may wish to use the rocks in Shilo Village to gain both Mining and Crafting experience (don’t forget to take a chisel!).

Quests Providing Crafting Experience

For quests that specifically give Crafting experience as a reward, please refer to the Crafting Rewards page.

Rabbit-foot necklace
(Members Only)

[image]

These items will increase your chance of receiving a bird’s nest when Woodcutting. To make one, you will first need a rabbit foot, obtained by successfully catching a rabbit (see the Hunter - Rabbit Snaring page for information on how to do this). This can then be strung with a ball of wool at level 37 Crafting to make the rabbit-foot necklace.

Fritz, the Entrana Glassblower

[image] The island of Entrana is a peaceful place well suited to the determined glassblowing enthusiast. While it may seem obvious to those in the know, Entrana’s position in the seas results in fairly large quantities of seaweed washing up on the north-west shore, there is a sandpit in the township and Fritz is more than willing to offer visitors his spare glassblowing pipe (located in his house to the west of the furnace). On top of this, because Fritz is a busy man, he will offer to buy your molten glass from you for the princely sum of 20 coins. [image]

Cape Dyeing

It is possible to change the colour of certain capes you possess by applying various dyes to them. First, you will need to visit the witch Aggie in Draynor Village, who will be able to supply you with some basic dyes for the small fee of 5 coins when you bring the ingredients for the dyes to her.

Desired Dye Colour Ingredients Required

It is most likely you will need to mix them together to get the results you want. Below is a list of all the possible colours you can make your capes.

[image] During The Golem you will learn how to make black ink, which can be used to dye some items of clothing black.

Silver Bolts

[image] Though not in common usage in RuneScape, occasionally adventurers carry silver bolts with them for use with their crossbows. The silver bolt is a curious creation: unlike other metals silver is too soft to reliably smith into such a delicate object, and so it must be crafted using a mould. [image]

You must have a Crafting level of at least 21 to make silver bolts. To make ten silver bolts, you will simply need a bolt mould (available from the Crafting stores in Al Kharid and Rimmington), some feathers and a silver bar. Use the silver bar on a furnace while the bolt mould is in your inventory, then click on ‘Make Silver Crossbow Bolts’. Obviously, if you have more than one silver bar in your inventory, you can right-click the option to use more of your bars. Each bolt you craft will garner you 5 experience points.

Once you have these bolts in your inventory, you can fletch feathers onto them in the same way as you might for any other crossbow bolt. Note that silver bolts cannot be tipped, nor can they be enchanted.

Snail Helmets
(Members Only)

Those who have dared enter the darkness of Mort Myre to complete Priest in Peril will be able to fashion helmets out of snail shells.

All you need to do is ensure your Crafting level is at least 15, then take your chisel and use it on a snail shell (obtained by killing snails in Mort Myre Swamp). You will then make a snail helmet and gain 32.5 Crafting experience points.

Limestone
(Members Only)

For those brave souls who have completed Shades of Mort’ton, there is the option of fashioning limestone bricks from limestone.
[image]
To do this, simply obtain some limestone by Mining it from either the quarry near the Temple of Mort’ton (follow the western path towards Varrock from the Temple, but take the first northern turning instead of going to Varrock and you should find it), or from Tirannwn’s mine (located south-east of the south gate to Prifddinas). You can then use a chisel on a piece of limestone to make a limestone brick, which will earn you 6 Crafting experience points.

It is then possible to use the limestone bricks in order to help rebuild the Temple of Mort’ton, which will earn you another 5 Crafting experience points for every brick you lay.
