Ball of Wool - Used in stringing Jewellery. To get one, first go to the general store and buy some shears. They cost one gold coin. Then go find some sheep (there is a big field of them just West of Lumbridge) and use the shears with a sheep. After a few tries, or maybe on your first try, you will get some wool. Now find a spinning wheel and use the wool on the Spinning Wheel to recieve a Ball of Wool.

Glass (Members Only*):
Glass crafting is a members-only feature! You can craft three items with glass: Beer Glasses, Vials, and Orbs. Beer glasses have no use. Vials can be filled with water and used for Herblore. Orbs are used to make Battlestaffs. Below are the specific instructions on how to make molten glass, and then how to make glass items:
  1. Get a bucket
  2. Go to Entrana Island (go to Port Sarim and don't bring any weapons or armor and talk to the monks of Entrana) (everything else that you need for glass crafting is on Entrana (but bring your bucket).
  3. Get some seaweed, 8 spawn on the Northwestern part of the island.
  4. Go to the range found just North of the boat and use the seaweed with the range. The seaweed will turn to 'Soda Ash'.
  5. Use your bucket with the sandpit found just outside the room with the range in it. Your bucket should now be full with sand.
  6. Now go to the room next to the one with the range in it, there should be a furnace in it.
  7. Use either your bucket of sand or your soda ash on the furnace. This will combine the two items, and will turn them into 'Molten Glass'.
To craft molten glass into an item you will need a 'Glass Blowing Pipe'. You can find one of these in the house with the range. Use the glass blowing pipe and the molten glass together and then choose what you would like to make from the selection area.

Enchanting Battlestaffs

You can get your Battlestaff enhanced. To get your Battlestaff enhanced you must have done the Scorpion Catcher quest. If you have done it, go back to Thormac the Sorcerer with 40,000 gold coins and your Battlestaff. Talk to him and tell him that he said he would enhance your Battlestaff for you. Select the Battlestaff you want and it will become a great weapon. It will now have stats similiar to the Rune Long Sword!!

Pottery
Pottery is probably the worst part of crafting because it gives low experience, it's a tedious and boring part, and is not significantly profitable. Nonetheless... it is a part of crafting so it must be explained. Pottery is a lot like glass crafting (if you have seen that section yet you'd understand). Below are the instructions for making pottery:
  1. Mine a clay ore.
  2. Get a jug.
  3. Fill the jug with water.
  4. Use the clay ore with the water-filled jug to make soft clay.
  5. Go to a potters wheel (located in Barbarian Village or for members Ardougne).
  6. Use the soft clay with the Potter's Wheel.
  7. Choose what you would like to make from the selection screen.
  8. Use the unfired clay item on the Pottery Oven.

Leather:
Leather is an easy way of getting crafting experience. There is also Dragonhide leather.

Soft and Hard Leather

  1. Get a cow hide
  2. Go to a tanner (found in Al Kharid or in the Crafting Guild if you can get in)
  3. Make sure you have one gold coin for every cow hide that you have
  4. Talk to the tanner and say "Here are some cow hides, can I buy some leather?"
  5. A selection screen will come up and ask you if you want soft leather or hard leather.
  6. After you choode the tanner will take the cow hide and 1 coin and give you the leather.
  7. To make an item from the leather get a needle & thread. Use the needle in your inventory with the leather. Then select what you want to make on the selection screen. Your crafting level will determine what you can make.

Jewelery is a huge part of crafting. Your crafting level determines what gems you can cut, and what gems you can use and what you can craft. To craft gold Jewellery do the following:
  1. Get a gold bar (mine a gold nugget (you need level 40 mining) and then use it with a furnace (you need level 40 smithing to make it into a bar).
  2. Get a gem if you want the piece of Jewelry to have a gem in it.
  3. Cut the gem if it isn't already cut.
  4. Get the mold for the kind of Jewelry you want (ex. necklace mold if you want to make a necklace).
  5. Use the gold bar with the furnace and select what you want to make.
Note: You need the mold for what you want to make in your inventory

Silver Jewelry

Holy Symbol of Saradomin

You need level 16 crafting to make one. It gives 50 crafting experience per Holy Symbol. These are used to make your prayer last longer. To make a Holy Symbol of Saradomin you will need to get a bar of silver. Do the following things to get one (you will need lvl 20 mining and smithing):
  1. Find a silver rock (there is one located in the Southwest Varrock mine, and lots in the crafting guild if you can get in) and mine it
  2. Go to a furnace and use the silver nugget with the furnace to smelt it
  3. Now, get a Holy Symbol mould at a Crafting Shop for five gold coins. There are crafting stores in Rimmington and Al Kharid, and the items can be found inside the crafting guild.
  4. Go back to the furnace and use the silver bar with the furnace. It will ask you what you would like to make. Click the Holy Symbol of Saradomin picture.
  5. You will now notice that you cannot wear it yet. That's because it does not have a string. Get a ball of wool, and use the ball of wool with the Holy Symbol. Now you can wear the Holy Symbol but it does not give any prayer bonus.
  6. Go to Brother Jered in the Praryer Guild, and talk to him. If you have the strung Holy Symbol with you, he will ask you if you want him to 'Bless' your Holy Symbol. This is free, but you must be able to get into the Prayer Guild (level 31 prayer required). In case you don't know where the Prayer Guild is, it's in the Monastery. Go to the East wing of the Monastery and go up the ladder.

It gives +2 in all attack bonus and +8 Prayer when worn.

Follow the same procedure as with any other silver item, but this time use a Silver Sickle Mould, which can be bought at the crafting store in Al Kharid. It gives 50 experience.

Flax (Members Only*)

Flax is probably the fastest way of gaining crafting experience. It is used to spin bowstrings. But you must know, it is a member's-only feature! All you have to do is go up to a flax plant (there is a large field just West of Catherby, next to the beehives, there are also plants in the Tree Gnome Stronghold-Right next to the bank!) and right click on a flax plant and click 'pick flax'. Just like wheat, flax never runes out. Once you have enough flax, find a spinning wheel and use the flax with the spinning wheel. Flax gives 15 crafting experience for every one you spin.
