Master the art of OSRS construction with our comprehensive guide that turns complex building mechanics into profitable skilling adventures

Getting Started with OSRS Construction

Beginning your construction journey in Old School RuneScape requires careful preparation and understanding of fundamental mechanics. First, you’ll need to purchase a house from any estate agent in major cities like Varrock, Falador, or East Ardougne for a modest fee of 1,000 coins. Essential tools for construction include a hammer and saw, which should always be in your inventory. Additionally, you’ll need a steady supply of planks and nails, with oak planks being particularly crucial for mid-level training.

• Required tools: Hammer, saw (both available from any general store)
• Basic materials: Regular planks, oak planks, steel nails
• House portal locations: Rimmington, Taverley, Pollnivneach, Hosidius, and Prifddinas
• Initial house cost: 1,000 coins

Early Level Training (1-33)

The journey from levels 1 to 33 focuses on cost-effective methods that balance experience gains with resource consumption. Start by constructing crude wooden chairs from levels 1-4, which require regular planks and nails. From levels 4-9, transition to wooden bookcases for improved experience rates. Once you reach level 9, build a kitchen and begin crafting wooden larders. The key to efficient training at these levels is maintaining a steady supply of materials through Phials in Rimmington, who can unnote your planks for 5 coins each.

Mid-Level Progression (33-74)

At level 33, construction training becomes more streamlined with the introduction of oak larders. This method offers an excellent balance of cost and experience, providing approximately 480 experience per build. The oak larder method remains viable until level 74, though some players continue using it beyond this point. To maximise efficiency, position your house in Rimmington and utilise the following setup:

• House orientation: Portal facing north
• Inventory setup: Hammer, saw, oak planks
• Banking method: Phials for unnoting planks
• Experience rate: Up to 180k experience per hour

Advanced Construction Techniques (74-99)

Once you reach level 74, several high-level training options become available. Mahogany homes offers a more engaging alternative to traditional construction training, while dungeon building provides excellent experience rates for those with substantial wealth. Most players opt for mahogany tables or benches, which can yield upwards of 450k experience per hour with optimal clicks and inventory management.

Optimizing Your Training

To achieve maximum efficiency in construction training, several key optimisations are essential. Setting your client to resizable mode and utilising RuneLite plugins can significantly improve click accuracy and reduce banking time. Screen markers help maintain consistent clicking patterns, while the menu entry swapper plugin streamlines interactions with NPCs and objects.

• Enable mouseover text for faster object identification
• Use custom menu entry swapper configurations
• Set up screen markers for consistent clicking zones
• Maintain optimal camera angles for building hotspots

Cost-Effective Training Methods

Managing construction costs requires strategic planning and understanding of market dynamics. Oak larders remain one of the most cost-effective methods, averaging around 7 coins per experience point. For players seeking to minimise expenses, consider these approaches:

• Purchase materials during off-peak hours
• Utilise mahogany homes for reduced plank consumption
• Consider teak furniture as a mid-cost alternative
• Take advantage of plank-making activities when profitable

Alternative Training Methods

For ironman accounts and players seeking different approaches, several alternative training methods exist. Quest rewards provide substantial early-level experience, while gathering your own materials through the Woodcutting skill and Plank Make spell offers a self-sufficient path to higher levels. The Mahogany Homes activity provides a more varied training experience with reduced resource consumption.

Making Money Through Construction

Despite being traditionally viewed as a money sink, construction skills can be leveraged for profit. Hosting gilded altar services for prayer training remains popular, while crafting furniture for other players can generate steady income. Additionally, completing mahogany homes contracts offers modest but consistent profits, especially at higher tiers.

Final Tips and Recommendations

Success in OSRS construction relies on maintaining motivation and efficiency throughout the grind. Set realistic daily goals, take regular breaks to prevent burnout, and consider breaking up training sessions with alternative activities. Remember that the journey to 99 construction is a marathon, not a sprint. Focus on consistent progress rather than exhausting yourself with extended training sessions.

• Track your expenses and experience gains
• Join a construction-focused clan for support and advice
• Consider mixing training methods to maintain interest
• Invest in efficient teleportation methods for banking
• Keep materials organised for smooth training sessions
