Has your Crafting skill ever felt as though it were moving slower than a snail in molasses? Many players have to endure the relatively slower early levels, looking for more experience. The USA textile crafting right might just be the one for you, promising a better experience and profit in some cases. It is also not difficult to get into!
Textile Crafting Basics
Textile crafting covers pretty much all that goes into gaining levels in Crafting. In other words, there are raw materials that get transformed into useful items. And just what does that cover? Continue reading!
Textile Crafting Defined
In OSRS, textile crafting encompasses the spinning of flax into bowstrings, weaving cloth, and assembling armor made from different materials. It’s how the players forge goods for wearing and using in their endless Roaming Adventures. Plus it is how you sheepishly forge things to sell for some amount of coin.
Necessary Skills and Stats
The main skill needed is Crafting. You might fancy having levels in some other skills like Fletching if using the stuff you craft. In any textile crafting, 10 Crafting or beyond is recommended. Higher levels yield better items to create.
The Required Items and Equipment
You will need just the basic few items to start with. They are as follows:
- Flax (roughly 3 GP each)
- One kind of spinning wheel (lots of locations)
- Needle (1 GP)
- Thread (1 GP)
- Crafting armor pieces (these vary widely in price)
Having these items in place guarantees an uninterrupted crafting experience.
USA Textile Crafting Technique: A Stepwise Approach
The USA method is meant to be fast and effective. So, how do you get the most out of your time? Allow us to explain.
Preparation and Inventory Configuration
Get your inventory in order; otherwise, you’ll waste vital seconds! Use bank placeholders for the items you’ll need. Bank preset it with flax and whatever other materials may be required so that you may quickly withdraw and deposit items at will.
The Crafting Process
Here is a very simple run-through:
- Withdraw flax from the bank.
- Use the flax on a spinning wheel.
- Spin the flax into bowstrings.
- Bank the bowstrings.
- Repeat and repeat!
Very simple indeed; however, it takes a lot of concentration and key-clicking skills.
Minimizing Downtime and Maximizing Output
Stand as close to the bank booth as possible to cut down the banking time. Obviously, this requires good concentration so that misclicks can be avoided. Stay focused, keeping the process flowing to ensure good experience rates.
How Worthy Is the USA Method? Profitability and Experience Rates
Expected Profits Considering Item Prices
Profit margins depend on the crafted item. For the most part, bowstrings either make a slight profit or break even. Keep watch for G.E. prices to know the most profitable items to go for. Another very profitable avenue is crafting armor if sold in a good market.
Average Experience Per Hour
Expect anywhere from 10K to 20K experience per hour at the lower levels. This can shoot up as one levels and becomes a fast crafter. Higher levels might even see experience rates above 30K.
