  • This article gives tips about training the Construction skill. Construction is arguably the most expensive skill in RuneScape, since the supplies needed to train Construction can be very expensive. You can train Construction whenever you want, but to make training quick and efficient, it is best to have a lot of spare money to buy a large number of planks.
  • Construction is an expensive skill to train. At low Construction levels, players typically make their own planks, use clay or limestone, and explore different rooms and furniture. To advance, most players use oak, teak, or mahogany planks to build and remove oak larders, driftwood prawnbrokers, or mahogany tables. All constructed objects will always result in a loss of money, regardless if you make the planks or buy it off the Grand Exchange.

Info
  • At 1 to 33 Construction, one cannot have a butler. Train by using ring of kinship or Rings of duelling or Amulets of glory to teleport to a bank to get more planks, and using a House teleport spell or tablet to get back to your house. The Mobilising Armies teleport works too for teleporting to a bank. The Ring of Kinship is also an option, but is considerably slower than all of the aforementioned methods of banking, and is not recommended due to the ability to save Rings of Duelling with 1 charge and make them free to use. A slower way, albeit much cheaper, is by moving your house to Taverley and using the bank that located a short distance south of the house portal. To help with the running, take off heavy armour and wear weight-reducing clothing. For the first levels of Construction you need to buy or make planks and iron nails. Start by making crude wooden chairs in your parlour and removing them, using 2 planks and 2 iron nails for each. Repeat this process until you are out of planks or reach level 17 Construction. It take 96 planks and nails to get to 17 Construction. If you are going from 1 to 33, it will require you to make 277 crude wooden chairs, which is 554 planks, and 554 iron nails plus extras to compensate for them bending. An economic way is to wear Seer's headband and cut the logs, with the band only 14 cuts are enough for a full inventory, and they can be immediately be exchanged for planks at sawmill for 100 coins each. These planks can be banked at Varrock east bank, repeating the process would be a short trip. There is another way to train at low construction levels that is cheaper than using planks, although it is slower. Have your house at Rimmington and mine some clay in the mining area north-east of the portal. Use the clay with a well to create soft clay. Alternatively a bracelet of clay can be used. Repeat the softening of the clay until all the clay has been softened. Next, you should go into your house and build a Parlour for 1000 coins and build a clay fireplace in it. Afterwards, remove the fireplace and repeat until you are at your desired level. The clay fireplace is a good choice because it gives 30 construction experience, however it requires level three to build, so follow the above process to reach level 3. This way, you can level up more quickly, and you do not have to travel as far. This is also very useful due to the expenses of gathering the materials can be kept very low. This is a highly recommended strategy for low-level and poor players to use. You may also keep on building Oak dining tables or Crafting table 1 by taking them down over and over until you reach level 33. This is the fastest and cheapest way to train construction. Training from level 1 to 33 with this method would cost coins.
  • Make oak chairs in your parlour at the same hotspot and continue to remove them. This uses 2 oak planks each, and nails are no longer necessary. At level 26, switch to oak armchairs in the same hotspot. This uses 3 oak planks each. Training from level 19 to 33 with this method would cost . A servant may be hired at this stage to save a small amount of time.
  • By far the most efficient way to train Construction, yielding experience rates between 650,000 and 900,000 experience per hour, is making Flotsam prawnbrokers. The method consists of building 2 flotsam prawnbrokers, then fetching 24 mahogany planks with a monkey or demon butler, and while the butler is away at the bank, destroying the currently built prawnbroker, rebuilding another one, and destroying it again, by which time the monkey or demon butler will have returned to give you 24 more mahogany planks. Then, 2 more are built, and the process is repeated. Make sure to use 3D world editing and make the world as small as possible and drag it to the bottom of the screen. This will make the "build" and "remove" options line up with a right click. Training from level 73 to 99 with this method would cost coins.
  • The second-fastest method in the game is making Mahogany tables in the Dining room, using a Demon Butler to bring you planks, building 4 tables per round, and 5 every third round. Players who are somewhat slow at building and removing tables may wish to save a bit of money by using a normal butler and building 3 tables per round and 4 every third round. Experience per hour rates for building mahogany tables vary widely among players. Some players get around 350k experience per hour , while some get over 450k . Some players are even able to get over 500k experience per hour. The theoretical maximum experience per hour with mahogany tables is somewhere around 650k experience per hour, and some players can get over 600k experience per hour. All these experience rates are given WITHOUT bonus experience. It is also worth noting that mahogany planks are the best planks to make using the Plank make spell, which is a very fast way to train magic, and therefore a player may find it convenient to combine this spell with building Mahogany tables to avoid a trading step. Training from level 52 to 73 with this method would cost coins. Training beyond level 73 using this method is not recommended, as there is a faster method unlocked at level 73, which costs the same as this method.
  • After level 33, you can make oak larders in your Kitchen. Creating these costs 8 oak plank. It will take 1760 oak planks to go from 33 to 52 construction building oak larders and another 16,211 oak planks to get to 74 Construction. To build these at the fastest speed, a butler or demon butler should be used. At level 40, you should go to the Servants' Guild to hire a Butler, and at level 50, you should hire a Demon Butler though this is quite an expensive way considering demon butlers cost 10k per 8 uses. Servants can be used to bring you planks, thus speeding up your construction training. The fastest way to do this is right click the servant and select the option to fetch items from the bank. If using the Butler, you can make an average of 2.5 oak larders per round; if using the Demon Butler, you can make an average of 3.25 oak larders per round. When making oak larders with a butler or demon butler, repeatedly request planks, then build and remove larders. With the regular butler, you can alternate 2 and 3 larders per round, whereas with the demon butler, you can build 3 larders on 2 / 3 of the rounds and 4 larders on 1 / 3 of the rounds. It is possible to save money by not using a butler and / or by making the planks yourself. A possible method is to woodcut oak logs outside your house, then enter your house and send your butler to the sawmill to make planks. Then, make oak larders and leave to cut more oaks. Alternatively, do not use a butler and instead bank after every 3 larders to get more planks. However, it will be much slower experience if you use either of these methods and the money saved may not be worth the extra time spent . Teak Larders may be made at level 43, but they take 2 bolts of cloth in addition to 8 teak planks, and this extra material required raises the cost significantly and slows down experience due to the need to request 2 types of materials. The fastest way to get experience from oak larders would to first come with a full inventory of oak planks and having the Butler servant. Once in your house, build the first oak larder, then remove it. Next use the 'Fetch-from-bank' right-click option on your butler and choose 20 oak planks. Now since you are able to make 3 oak larders from a single full inventory, build another oak larder, remove, build a third one and remove. This will have taken up the time it takes for the butler to get to the bank and back, thus not wasting any time. With this second inventory you will be able to make 3 oak larders if you have all tools in toolbelt and money in pouch / bank. Build the first then use the right-click option 'Fetch-from-bank' again on the butler to receive 20 more oak planks. Then quickly remove the last oak larder built and replace it with a new one, and build another and remove it. Once the butler returns you should have 20 planks, so you can only make 2 this time. Repeat this short process until you reach the level or experience you are going for, or your planks run out or you get bored. A quick player is often able to send the servant away as soon as the servant returns, and use all their planks within the time it takes for the servant to fetch the planks, but this can be hard work. Try out sending the servant off at different points and find which one works best for you, to maximize efficiency. Also, for the same xp, you can make carved oak tables until the desired level. The tables use 6 oak planks per table / flatpack and you can use the two extra planks per inventory to make an oak chair. Players should stop making oak larders at level 52 if they wish to train using mahogany planks. Mahogany tables are the fastest construction experience in the game, but are not very commonly made because they cost more per construction experience than oak. As teak planks are cheaper per experience than oak planks, it is recommended to switch to Carved teak magic wardrobes at level 69. Training from level 33 to 52 with this method would cost coins. Training from level 33 to 74 with this method would cost coins.
  • Below level 20 Construction, one cannot have a butler, so you will have to carry the items yourself. In order to do this, you could use a ring of dueling and a house teleport tablet or simply run to the bank and back. For the first levels of Construction you need to buy or make planks and iron nails. Start by making crude wooden chairs in your parlour and removing them, using 2 planks and 2 iron nails for each
  • After level 33, you can make oak larders in your Kitchen. First create the kitchen by clicking to build on a Door hotspot. Creating oak larders these costs 8 oak plank. It will take 1760 oak planks to go from 33 to 52 construction building oak larders and another 16,211 oak planks to get to 74 Construction. At level 40, you should go to the Servants' Guild to hire a Butler, and at level 50, upgrade to a Demon Butler or Mind-controlled monkey butler. Servants can be used to bring you planks, thus speeding up your construction training. The fastest way to do this is right click the servant and select the option to fetch items from the bank. If using the Butler, you can make an average of 2.5 oak larders per round; if using the demon butler, you can make an average of 3.25 oak larders per round. When making oak larders with a butler, demon butler or monkey butler, repeatedly request planks, then build and remove larders. With the regular butler, you can alternate 2 and 3 larders per round, whereas with the demon butler or monkey butler, you can build 3 larders on 2 / 3 of the rounds and 4 larders on 1 / 3 of the rounds. It is possible to save money by not using a butler, however this greatly lowers your experience per hour. Monkey butler should be hired, if you have the required invention level, as there are no charges. Players should stop making oak larders at level 52 if they wish to train using mahogany planks. Mahogany tables are the second fastest construction experience in the game, but are not very commonly made because of cost. As teak planks are sometimes cheaper per experience than oak planks, you can switch to driftwood prawnbrokers at level 63. Training from level 33 to 52 with this method would cost coins. Training from level 33 to 63 with this method would cost coins.
  • The most teak planks that can be used on a single item is a driftwood prawnbroker. A monkey butler is recommended to fetch 24 teak planks in one trip from the bank . Then, three prawnbrokers can be made at 720 experience points each.This method is able to earn approximately 500,000 experience per hour. Make sure to use 3D world editing and make the world as small as possible and drag it to the bottom of the screen. This will make the "build" and "remove" options line up with a right click. Training from level 63 to 99 with this method would cost coins.
  • The most teak planks that can be used on a single item is a carved teak magic wardrobe. These can either be built and destroyed in a costume room, or flatpacked in a workshop. Due to the much lower intensity of flatpacking, this is strongly recommended over building in a costume room. A demon butler is recommended to fetch 24 or 26 teak planks in one trip from the bank. Then, four wardrobes can be flatpacked at 540 experience points each. These can then be dropped using the Action bar. This method is able to earn approximately 300,000 experience per hour. Training from level 69 to 99 with this method would cost coins.
  • By far the most efficient way to train Construction, yielding experience rates between 650k and 900k xp / hour , making Flotsam prawnbrokers costs the same as making mahogany tables, but this method yields 280 more xp in the same amount of time, therefore making it more efficient. The method consists of building 2 flotsam prawnbrokers, then un-certing 24 mahogany planks with a demon butler, and while the latter is away at the bank, destroying the currently built prawnbroker, rebuilding another one, and destroying it again, by which time the demon butler will have returned to give you 24 more mahogany planks. Then, 2 more are built, and the process is repeated. Note that only the first time, the noted mahogany planks in the player's inventory need to be used on the demon butler and have him directed to un-cert 24 of them. All subsequent times only require the player to select the right-click option of "Fetch-from-bank" on the demon butler, and selecting Option 1. Training from level 73 to 99 with this method would cost coins.
  • The second-fastest method in the game is making Mahogany tables in the Dining room, using a demon or monkey butler to bring you planks, building 4 tables per round, and 5 every third round. Players who are somewhat slow at building and removing tables may wish to save a bit of money by using a normal butler and building 3 tables per round and 4 every third round. Experience per hour rates for building mahogany tables vary widely among players depending on attention and which butler is being used. A basic range of 350,000 experience to 500,000 experience an hour can be expected, with some players even exceeding 600,000 experience an hour. Training from level 52 to 73 with this method would cost coins.
  • The easiest long-term training method, requiring significantly less attention than building and destroying. 4 mahogany tables can be made per round, with the butler fetching 24 from the bank each round. The flatpacks can be disassembled or dropped. Dropping is slightly faster as disassmbly resets the workbench interface. Flatpacking is slightly slower than build and destroy, with experience rates maxing at about 500,000 per hour. Training from level 52 to 99 with this method would cost coins.

You can train Construction whenever you want, but to make training quick and efficient, it is best to have a lot of spare money to buy a large number of planks. As ironmen cannot use the Grand Exchange, they will need to chop down a large number of trees. Teak and mahogany logs can be obtained from Managing Miscellania, though it is somewhat slow and you may want to chop down teak/mahogany trees at the same time.
