Well i have just started crafting today so i will add more as i get higher
Step 1:
First of all you need to get to Crafting level 14 so you can then do cowhides
todo this goto seers village and get to the red dot and pick some flax
after you have picked a full invent of flax goto the blue dot and go upstairs then spin it all and bank it
You will have to do that round about 4 times to get 14 crafting
Step 2:
In this step you can keep doing flax until whatever level you like or you can move onto cowhides
you can rather buy the hides for 2k/ea or get them yourself by killing chickens
If your going to be getting your cowhides yourself goto the green dot and kill the chickens and obtain the cowhides
I would suggest getting as many as you can before you get bored
Now once you have all your cowhides goto the tanner in seers village and talk with him the (the purple dot)
Once you have talked with him your screen should look like this. Now you have tanned all your hides
Buy a needle and thread and start crafting them into anything, I suggest doing it 1 by 1 and not clicking x5 or x10 by doing this you will gain 2x as much exp for your cowhides.
Keep doing this process untill you have reached 57 crafting then you will be able to go onto green dragon hides
Too be continued...
