Market Strategy

Bow string price - Flax price = Crafting profit per spin
  • Classic low-level money maker; buy flax, spin into bow string at level 10 Crafting.
  • Best banks - Lumbridge Castle (agility shortcut), Seers' Village (close to free flax field), Crafting Guild (40 Crafting).
  • Lunar Spin Flax at 76 Magic processes 5 flax per cast.
  • High volume item with consistent margins; supplemented by free Seers' Village picking.
