I think I'll be the first to post an achievement with this new skill. If you know how to do it, you can train fast, and spend no cash at all. I started with 250k, and I still have that.



I also got 1400 Skill total yesterday, but I lost that picture.

BTW, if you want to know how to raise construction fast, without any cash being spent, then you should do the following: (no it's not some sort of bug)

You need to have a Workshop at which you can create oak furniture. If you don't have that, use normal wood, until you do.

Start with an initial amount of cash. 125k works ok. 250k is better. Go to the east part of Varrock, and chop Oaks, while having the money in your inventory. Transform them into Oak Planks at the sawmill dude. This costs 250 gp per Oak Plank, so that's why you need to have the cash. Bank the planks and return to chop more logs and keep doing this until all your cash is spent.

Now sell the 500 or 1k Oak Planks you got (depending on your start cash). They sell for about 800 each, which means 550k / 150k profit. Use that profit to create oak planks again. Only using the profit means that 250k will be left to repeat the entire process.

Having a Mud staff is very handy in this. Lava staff works too, but a little worse. If you don't have that either, bring a runes or a normal staff (earth, water or air). If you have 40 Magic, you can tele between your house, and Falador (Mud Staff), or Varrock (Lava Staff). Otherwise, walk between the portal and Fally Bank. The bank in Varrock is a little farther away from the tele spot, so that's why Mud Staff (Falador) is faster. Bring a saw, hammer, Air Runes and Laws. That leaves 24 spots left for Oak Planks. 24 Oak Planks creates exactly 4 (Carved) Oak Tables (from the Dining Room). That is the furniture that uses the most planks, so least clicking. All furniture gives the same amount of exp per plank used, so it doesn't matter which you use. If you brought less Oak Planks, you might have to make different furniture to use up all planks.

Craft the furniture on the workshop table, or make them in the correct hotspots if you don't have a workshop room.

Tele to bank, bank the furniture, get new planks, and tele back. Keep doing this until all planks are used.

This leaves you with 250k, and lots of Construction exp. You could sell/high alch the furniture but that's not necessary. I doubt they sell/high alch well, I haven't tried.

Reapet the entire thing with the 250k.

No money spent, and I did Lvl 1 - Lvl 50 (101K exp) in about 10 hours playing. It goes faster once you're 30+.

If you want this part in a different section/forum or in a guide, let me know

Gratz! Very nice. I don't even have level 2 construction.

But do you have to teleport between your houses and can you have more houses on different places, why not one?

You can move the portal (or actually the one you can access), but I think Rimmington works fine. Yanille would do if you like to have a bank close to the portal.

You can only have one house.

You can walk too, but tele is faster. It's not really expensive (runes), so I prefer tele'ing.

Max, Grats on the levels!

50 is the level I currently want.

I'd guess one could do sorta the same thing on teles with an air staff, earth runes, and laws. Just bank in the lumby basement. Well I got a couple lavas, so soon as I get on again, I'm switching off ancients, lol!

Interesting. People are ranting about how Construction is too expensive though. I suppose your method is still reliant on the economy, instead of the game mechanics itself. If the planks stabalizes at 1k each, then it would seem viable for training purposes. Until then, it's somewhat like an opportunity.

I alched an oak chair just to see what it alchs at.... 6gp

Not worth the time and trouble to bank and sell.

So what I ended up doing was hiring a cook as soon as I got the level and just making chairs, then oak kitchen tables and removing them.

You have to pay the cook, not just 3k one time, but every so often, so if you don't have money to burn, it's not for you. But that's the fastest xp. Plank all the oaks first and have cook run for 16 planks all the time.

Don't bother sending her to the mill, not worth it was the advice I got from a friend on that.

i read somewhere that when they ask for pay just give them more logs to take to the mill and then do it over and over and you dont have to pay them. I dont know if it works (1 constructoin) and it seems like you could get in trouble for doing it.
