If you’ve ever dreamed of hitting the coveted 99 Crafting and making a significant amount of GP in Old School RuneScape (OSRS) without needing high-level requirements or special equipment, this newly discovered crafting method is for you. The best part? You only need level 10 Crafting to get started. That’s right—you don’t need to grind for hours just to reach the level you need to access this method. Whether you’re a fresh account or a seasoned veteran, this guide will show you how to turn flax into profit and crafting experience in record time.
Let’s dive into the step-by-step process, and by the end, you’ll be on your way to crafting your way to 99 Crafting and 90 million RuneScape gold.
What You Need
·Crafting level 10: This is the only requirement to get started. If you don’t have this level yet, you can easily reach it by crafting items like jewelry or making necklaces from silver bars or gold bars.
·A good supply of flax: Flax can be gathered around the game world and is a central part of this method. You’ll need to make sure you have enough flax to turn into bowstrings, so be prepared to gather or purchase it in bulk.
·A teleport to Camelot: You’ll be using the Camelot teleport to quickly access a location with a flax patch, and having access to this teleport will save a significant amount of time.
·A bank nearby: The method relies on a quick loop of gathering flax, spinning it into bowstrings, and banking your goods, so ensure you’re familiar with the fastest way to bank and collect.
With these basics in mind, let’s get started.
Step 1: Teleport to Camelot
Start by teleporting to Camelot. If you haven’t already unlocked Camelot teleport, it’s a simple spell accessible at level 45 Magic. If you’re using a teleport tablet, you can easily access this location without the need for Magic.
Once you arrive, run south of the Camelot teleport point, toward the flax patch. You’ll find several flax plants ready for harvesting. If you’re new to flax harvesting, you might not know that flax can be gathered from these patches and used to make bowstrings (which are highly valuable).
Step 2: Harvesting Flax
To get started, simply spam-click the flax patches until your inventory is full. A full inventory is 28 flax, which will yield you a good amount of bowstrings after spinning. The reason this method works so well is that flax can be gathered quickly, and there’s little downtime between gathering. It’s not an AFK method, but it is highly efficient.
As you gather flax, remember that it may take a few minutes for the flax to respawn if the patch has been picked clean by another player. However, this is a low-traffic area, so you should have no problem harvesting the flax in peace.
Step 3: Spin the Flax into Bowstrings
Once your inventory is full, it’s time to head toward the nearby house, which is located northwest of the flax patch. In this house, you’ll find a ladder leading to a room with a spinning wheel. This is where the magic happens.
Climb the ladder to enter the spinning room, and interact with the spinning wheel. You’ll be presented with the option to spin your flax into bowstrings. Simply click the option to spin flax, and it will convert the flax into bowstrings one by one. You can speed up the process by using the “quick options” feature, so don’t waste time spinning the flax manually.
Bowstrings are valuable because they are a key ingredient for making longbows and other high-demand items in OSRS. Plus, they offer decent experience rewards, which help you level up your Crafting skills quickly.
Step 4: Bank the Bowstrings
After you’ve spun all the flax into bowstrings, it’s time to run to the nearby bank to deposit your haul. The bank is conveniently located to the west of the spinning wheel, which minimizes the time spent running back and forth.
By the time you’ve deposited your bowstrings, your flax patch should have respawned, allowing you to repeat the process. The loop is fast, so you can continuously repeat these steps to maximize your experience gain and profits.
Step 5: Rinse and Repeat
Now, it’s all about the grind. With each full inventory of flax that you spin into bowstrings and deposit, you’re earning both Crafting experience and GP. You can repeat this process as many times as you want, with little downtime between each cycle.
Pro Tip: Keep an eye on the price of bowstrings in the Grand Exchange. The price can fluctuate based on market demand, but on average, bowstrings sell for a solid amount of cheap OSRS gold. Be patient, and don’t sell them too quickly if the price is low—wait for it to rise and get the most out of your hard work.
The Benefits: 99 Crafting and 90 Million GP
Now, let’s talk about the most exciting part—why this method is so profitable and efficient.
·Fast Crafting Experience: You’re getting a steady stream of Crafting experience for each bowstring you make. The method is quick, with minimal downtime, which means you’ll be able to achieve 99 Crafting in record time. Depending on how much flax you gather and spin, you could reach level 99 Crafting in a matter of weeks or even sooner with consistent grinding.
·Profit and GP: Beyond the Crafting experience, you’re also making a significant profit. With each inventory of bowstrings, you’re accumulating valuable items that can be sold for a tidy sum. Selling the bowstrings can easily get you up to 90 million GP over time, depending on how much you gather and how quickly you spin. You could even consider selling the flax directly if you don’t want to deal with spinning, but converting it into bowstrings usually yields a higher profit.
·Minimal Requirements: With just a level 10 Crafting requirement and a simple process to follow, this method is accessible to nearly all players. Whether you’re a new player or someone looking to make a profitable grind, this method is easy to jump into.
Conclusion
The newly discovered flax-to-bowstring crafting method is a game-changer for both experience and profit in OSRS. With just a minimum Crafting level of 10, you can start working towards 99 Crafting while simultaneously earning 90 million GP or more. All you need to do is harvest flax, spin it into bowstrings, and bank your haul—then rinse and repeat.
This method is perfect for players who want to level up their Crafting skill and make a solid profit without needing to invest in expensive or high-level items. So, teleport to Camelot, get spinning, and before you know it, you’ll be holding that 99 Crafting cape with a hefty stack of GP in your OSRS Accounts bank.
Happy crafting, and see you at 99 Crafting!
