Runescape 99 Construction Guide

This section will show the time and number of materials needed to reach level 99 Construction training using the most efficient methods possible.

In your inventory, you should have:

Considering a player will not run enough to fully deplete their run energy, any equipment is reasonable. However, players must have the Lava Battlestaff (or Mystic lava staff) to save an inventory space and accommodate for Varrock and House teleports.

Alternatively, you could simply equip an air staff and carry Law Runes and Earth Runes to teleport back and forth from Home to Camelot. Quick tip: If you play on a PVP World, equip an Earth Staff, with Air + Law Runes in your inventory, then use the bank at the Camelot teleport for faster exp.

Quick tips

It is recommended to keep all planks in your bank when training to save inventory space. Your butler will retrieve a full inventory when asked.

Once a player reaches level 30, they may begin to turn Long and Curved bones in at Barlak for construction experience and gold. He can be found inside the city of Dorgesh-Kaan, which isn't accessible until the player has completed Death to the Dorgeshuun.

Players can press 1 to quickly select the option to remove furniture when prompted with the confirmation window.

Other Tips:

Level advised: 31+ (Carved Oak Table)

Alternatively a player can choose to build & remove their Dining room table. To begin with Carved Oak tables you would be looking at 6 Oak planks each build. Once high enough you can choose to build Mahogany Tables which require 6 Mahogany planks and level 52 Construction.

Once available, it is almost always recommended to use a normal butler over a demon butler when training, as it is impossible to use up all 26 planks before the demon butler returns from a bank trip. The normal butler is half the cost of the demon butler. The only exception to this rule is when training using larders.

Maximizing Efficiency:

• Send your butler to fetch planks every chance you get. It is possible to fully use up an entire inventory of planks before your butler returns from a bank trip.
• Utilise hotkeys and skip dialogue when you can.

Crude wooden chairs, requires 2 wooden planks and 2 nails each, costs around 210, 000 coins if materials are bought from other players. (It is recommended you buy bronze nails from the sawmill and not from other players as they are significantly cheaper.) Cutting the logs yourself and making them into planks at the sawmill will cost about 63, 000 coins. Building a crude wooden chair grants 58 Construction experience. Don't forget to build a workbench at level 17, which will increase your experience per hour.

• Experience needed: 18, 247
• Chairs to goal: 315
• Planks needed: 630
• Nails needed: 630 minimum (Depending on the type of nails used, more will be needed to compensate for bending. Recommend getting 2-3k nails if using bronze or iron as you will bend a lot in first several levels.)
• Time: 1-2 Hours.
• (It should be noted that you can start building wooden bookcases at level 4 at the cost of 4 wooden planks and 4 nails which will allow you to use a full inventory of planks faster for a loss of only 1 xp per bookcase compared to chairs.)

Oak larders, requires 8 oak planks each, costs around 8, 300, 000 coins if materials are bought from other players. If you cut the logs by yourself and turn them into planks, it will cost around 4, 000, 000 coins. However, you will have to cut around 17, 968 logs, which takes approximately 30 hours at level 99 woodcutting, and cut them into planks at the Sawmill. Building an oak larder grants 480 Construction experience. A demon butler is recommended when training with larders.

• Experience needed: 1, 078, 031
• Larders to goal: 2, 246
• Oak planks needed: 17, 968
• Experience per hour: ~250k
• Time: 6-7 Hours.

Another option is to train using Oak dungeon doors, which require 10 oak planks each, costing around 80, 000, 000 coins if materials are bought from other players. If you cut the logs by yourself and turn them into planks, it will cost around 50, 000, 000 coins however it's recommended to purchase the planks from other players. Building an oak door grants 600 Construction experience. A normal butler is recommended when training with dungeon doors

• Experience needed: 11, 938, 153
• Doors to goal: 19, 897
• Oak planks needed: 198, 970
• Experience per hour: 200k-275k
• Time: from 43.4 hours up to 59.7 hours

Another feature players may want to utilise when training construction is Phials, in Rimmington. He is an NPC that will unnote items for 5gp per note. By using this method, you'll also avoid having to teleport, saving money on runes. He is located in the general store in Rimmington, making it very close to the house portal. A good technique players can use is note all their planks and then use him to unnote them. It is quicker than running to the bank. This does require your house to be in Rimmington, which some players may not enjoy.
