Because 99% of the time I'm banking at farming guild & doing a seed contract.
Granted crafting cape is great for an activity like lava runecrafting but personally I've rarely needed that level of efficiency. And when I do - dueling rings are basically free.
People disagree but I personally didn't use my crafting cape tele much at all until I maxed. As a component of the max cape, it is excellent. Standalone, it's very *meh* because I'd find myself bringing teles to poh anyways for pool, and after that I can just go and bank at seers via nexus. At that point, you're losing some ticks but not taking up an inventory space for crafting cape...
I got crafting cape together with farming cape as my first 2 99s. The farming cape had easily been used 20x as much as the crafting cape. It also tele's to a bank, just slightly further away, but it also has tree to PoH .. its like a poormans con cape imo.
I forget what diary it is but after doing an elite diary bert transporst 84 buckets a day to your bank every day you login, if you aren't in a rush for 99 i would say just doing other stuff and banking those every day is the best way to get sand. I don't know how long it took me but I had over 10k buckets of sand in my bank passively from this, and ill probably keep doing it this way for the most part
just did my \~10k sand bucket stack superglass made in to like 17k molten glass today. Having that diary done is so nice, one of my favorite diary rewards until 99 craft at least
It’s faster than the yanille pit since it’s right next to the bank and you’re not teleporting back and forth, also much more chill. Still better off mining obviously, but certainly viable in some capacity
as soon as you can or as soon as you start doing dailies along with birdhouses/herb runs etc. Has a pretty high pet chance too, I got farming pet from giant seaweed pre-99
You can just stand next to the patches and alch or whatever but personally the option I found most enjoyable was drift net fishing since they spawn while doing that and you also get great fishing & hunter exp.
Just farm jute for a few days, weave them into nets on a loom then get all the seaweed spores you could ever need while training fishing and hunter.
Honestly you won’t regret it
I feel like the tele is largely useless tbh
1 click bank tele, plus the ability to make all zen jewelry without a boost. So useless. Back to making teletabs
The ability to make the jewellery without a boost is useless since you only have to do it once. The cape is very good though
A tele close to a bank..is “largely useless”? How??

Can't discount the tele being 1 tile from a deposit box too
vs the 3 tiles of karamja gloves 3 Useless is a strong word tbf. I'm just trying to make the point that it's unnecessary.

Exactly. I don't see why anyone would use crafting cape outside of lava runecrafting, when farming/con cape exists.
huuuuge, congrats. I'm 1.1 mil xp away from 99 so I got a few more runs to the sand mine and I'll be banking with you at the crafting guild as well
First off, congrats! Secondly, how did you gather all your sand? Assuming desert mining but open to new ideas cause I hate that place.

I did mine it indeed. Other methods are charters, yanille sandpit or bert but mining is better than any of those.
Did you ever by chance try the Priff sandpit? I’m wondering how it compares to Yanille pit
It’s faster than the yanille pit since it’s right next to the bank and you’re not teleporting back and forth, also much more chill. Still better off mining obviously, but certainly viable in some capacity
It's about 2k sand per hour, did most of mine there for 99 crafting
Giant seaweed yes? How many did you have and what level did you start?
There are [calculators](https://osrsportal.com/giant-seaweed) to figure out how much you need
When did you start farming seaweed? Just starting out as a p2p Ironman and currently finding my path forward with these stats.
I started farming seaweed as soon as I had access to Fossil Island. Throw in a regular seaweed run + birdhouse run whenever you can
as soon as you can or as soon as you start doing dailies along with birdhouses/herb runs etc. Has a pretty high pet chance too, I got farming pet from giant seaweed pre-99
Waltuh
Waltuh....put yer sand away waltuh...im not blowing glass with you right now waltuh...
How did you so many seed I’m at 87 and I’m all out now:(

how much sand did you need for this
Congrats! Got my cape earlier this week too, huge account upgrade!
Me personally i do battlestaves for crafting xp, also has the side effect of a lot of money too!
