Introduction
This ranging guide will show you where and how to train crafting level. There are two main sections of the guide; the one for Free Players and the one for Members. If you're a member, simply go to directly the Members section.FREE PLAYERS
This main section is only for the free players; those who are not members (paying to play). If you are a member, go to the members section.Levels 1-18
You are going to need to get 256 cowhides for this. You just make 256 gloves. You make them by tanning cowhides (dropped by cows) into soft leather. It's real easy to get up 18 levels. You just use the needle on the soft leather bodies. You need thread though. If you get about 100 thread you should be fine. It takes 5 things per one thread. Threads can be bought in the Al-Kharid crafting shop. There is also a tanner in Al-Kharid.
Levels 18-28
You're going to need 271 leather for this. You will make 271 leather chaps. You make the chaps by tanning the hides into soft leather. These 10 levels go by quick. You just use the needle on the soft leather bodies. If you get about 100 thread you should be fine.Levels 28-50
Option 1
You're going to need tons of leather for this. Around 2568 actually. I highly recommend you buy these leathers, it shouldn’t cost too much actually, because of how cheap you can get cowhides for. You will just have to tan all the cowhides and then make them into hard leather. Then, once you get hard leather, use your needle with the hard leather to get Hard Leather Body and keep doing that until your done with cowhides.I recommend having the needle at the bottom of your inventory and use the needle over and over with the bottom hard leather until your whole inventory is full of hard leather bodies. I recommend the Al Kharid tanner because he is close to the bank. Also if you need a needle and thread you can buy one at the crafting store in Al Kharid.
Option 2
You are going to make silver tiaras for this option. To get level 50, you need around 1741 silver tiaras. This is the harder and more expensive option. I don’t recommend this because of the money involved. But if you want some good smithing xp you can buy silver ores and do this. But I wouldn’t waste your money on silver now because you will be doing silver later.I recommend buying the silver if you want to do the silver.
Overall though, I recommend cowhides because it costs less to do cowhides and hard leather bodies.
Levels 50-99
Unfortunately for you free players, you have only two options.Option 1
You are going to make silver tiaras. Eventually it takes so many cowhides to level up that silver eventually becomes much better for gaining crafting levels. You need so many silver just to get to level 70 (around 12120) that it’s a tedious task. I recommend that you do 1k silvers at a time so the task doesn’t seem so daunting.I recommend buying silver if you'er going to do silver.
Option 2
You're going to make hard leather bodies. Hard leather is probably the best option for leveling even though it takes loads of cowhides. It's much cheaper (100-150 each tops) and you can buy these in bulk so easily, it works. It's a great way to get your level up.Overall I recommend Cowhides because its a little less xp but the price is so huge for a not so big xp difference.
MEMBERS
The rest of the guides is only for members; players paying for the game. There are of course more and easier ways to get levels if you are member.Levels 1-10
You need to get 84 cowhides for this. You just make 84 gloves. You make them by tanning cowhides into soft leather. You just use the needle on the soft leather bodies. You need thread though. If you get about 100 threads you should be fine.Levels 10-28
You are now going to make flax into bowstrings. This is a great option for gaining crafting levels because of the fact that its free xp/profitable xp depending on how much you buy the flax for and how much you sell the bowstrings for (buy for less then 100 each, sell bowstrings for 100 each or more). You will need around 645 flaxes to be spun into 645 bowstrings. You should buy the flax in the Seer’s village bank by fellow players. Or if you want to, you can pick flax south of Seer’s, however this can take a while. There is a spinning wheel in the 2nd floor of a house in between the bank of Seer’s and the flax picking spot south of Seer’s.Levels 28-38
Option 1
You are still going to make flax into bowstrings. This is a great option for gaining crafting levels because of the fact that its free xp/profitable xp depending on how much you buy the flax for and how much you sell the bowstrings for (buy for less then 100 each, sell bowstrings for 100 each or more). You will need around 1300 flax to be spun into 1300 bowstrings. You should buy the flax in Seer’s village. Or if you want to, you can pick flax south of Seers' village. There is a spinning wheel in the 2nd floor of a house in between the bank of Seers' Village and the flax picking spot south of Seers'.Option 2
Your need leathers for this. Around 560 actually. I highly recommend you buy these leathers, it shouldn’t cost too much actually, because of how cheap you can get cowhides for. You will just have to tan all the cowhides and then make them into hard leather. Then once you get hard leather, use your needle with the hard leather body and keep doing that until your done with cowhides.I recommend having the needle at the bottom of your inventory and use the needle over and over with the bottom hard leather until your whole inventory is full of hard leather bodies. I recommend the Al-Kharid tanner because he is close to the bank. Also, if you need a needle and thread you can buy one at the crafting store in Al-Kharid.
I recommend the fastest way to level up, which is hard leather bodies. It’s the quickest way, but it costs more. The more economical way is bowstrings because it's free xp or sometimes its profitable xp depending on how much you buy the flax for and how much you sell the bowstrings for (buy for less then 100 each, sell bowstrings for 100 each or more).
Levels 38-50

You need cowhides for this to make into soft leather which will be made into coifs. You need around 1900 cowhides made into 1900 soft leathers which will be made into 1900 coifs. This xp is better than hard leather bodies so you will make these instead of hard leather bodies.I recommend having the needle at the bottom of your inventory and use the needle over and over with the bottom soft leather until your whole inventory is full of coifs. I recommend the Al-Kharid tanner because he is close to the bank. Also, if you need a needle and thread you can buy one at the crafting store in Al-Kharid.
Option 3
You're going to make silver tiaras for this option. To get to level 50, you need around 1351 silver tiaras. This is the harder and more expensive option. I don’t recommend this because of the money involved. But if you want some good smithing xp you can buy silver ores and do this. But I wouldn’t waste your money on silver now because you will be doing silver later.I recommend buying silver if your gonna do silver.
Overall I like coifs the best because it levels you up the quickest. Flax is the second best because its economical xp, and silver is the third best because it may be quick, but it costs way too much for the level you are at.
Levels 50-57
The best and most efficient way to get your levels up is to get cowhides, just keep getting them until level 57.You can also get silver bars and make them into tiaras, but cowhides are the cheapest and most efficient option.
Levels 57-66
Now, what you want to do is get cowhides, and also start getting green dragonhides. Combine your forces by getting both.Get 100 green dragonhides, make them into green dragon vambraces, get 150k off of that, and then buy at least 1k cowhides and tan those and make those into coifs, and repeat. Keep doin this until level 66, which is blue dragon vambraces.
Levels 66-84
Now you are going to kill blue dragons and get their hides while still getting cowhides.It takes loads of persistence to get to the real high levels, but if you work on it, you can get there. It takes over 60k cowhides, but coupled with patience, persistence, and some blue drag vams alched, you can do it.
Levels 84-99
You will now make black dragon hides and couple them with getting cowhides. Just keep at it, eventually you will reach your goal. You wont get loads of levels quick, but trust me, if you keep at it, it wont be such a far goal.Guide credits
