Introduction
Crafting is a very valuable skill in Runescape, it can help you in a variety of ways such as making clay pots, valuable jewellery, sewing together awesome looking leather armour and even crafting your own magical staff.
Pottery
Pottery is a very quick and easy process, it gives you a quick boost of experience and it also helps you for some cooking needs.
