Why train Crafting?
Crafting is one of the most flexible production skills — you can train it cheaply, profitably, or fast depending on the method, and it feeds gear like d'hide and jewellery.
ScapePath highlights the profitable Crafting methods so you can pick a route that funds itself, and connects Crafting requirements to the content that asks for them (like Slayer helmet upgrades).
61 opens battlestave crafting (often profitable), 77 covers amethyst and high-tier d'hide, and 84 is black dragonhide bodies for the fastest XP. Choose the method that matches whether you want gp or levels.
