Construction

Construction is trained on Old School RuneScape. Planks on a workbench. Mahogany Homes if you want calmer XP. The live wiki keeps the rate.

Construction in Old School RuneScape

Words on this page

Plank: a board you buy, then build. Servant: a helper in your house who fetches more. Mahogany Homes: slower contracts in other people's houses.

Unlock

You can start at level 1. A servant (a helper in your house) comes later. The mythical cape rack wants Dragon Slayer II.

The route

  • Early

    Method
    Build with cheap planks, and do the construction quests.
    Place
    Stand in your own house.
    Click
    Click the build option on a chair or a larder.
    Leave
    Leave the cheap wood when oak larders open.
  • Mid

    Method
    Build oak larders, then mahogany tables, or do Mahogany Homes contracts.
    Place
    Stand at the workbench, or at the contract house.
    Click
    Click build, then send the servant for more planks.
    Leave
    Leave mahogany alone until you can afford the pile.
  • Late

    Method
    Build the bench the wiki ranks, or keep doing Homes.
    Place
    Stand in the house.
    Click
    Click build until the bench or the contract is done.
    Leave
    Leave when the rooms you wanted exist.

Inventory

Wear the carpenter's outfit if you have it. Bring a crystal saw. The servant is the real tool. Bring only what this method uses. Leave the spare gear in the bank.

Money fork

You buy this skill. Oak planks and mahogany planks are the bill. Mahogany Homes costs less and is slower. Check the wiki for this month's price.

Iron fork

If you cannot buy the supplies, gather them yourself. Stay on the earlier step until you have them.

Kit

Wear the carpenter's outfit if you have it. Bring a crystal saw. The servant is the real tool.

Mistakes

Do not build with no servant once you can hire one. Do not buy mahogany at level 40.

Stop

Stop when you have the level you came for. A quest, a prayer, or a weapon. Level 99 is a cape. You do not need it to use the skill.
