RS3 Construction Guide, 1-99 and Beyond, Fast and Cheap Training Methods

This guide will assume that you have a pretty good understanding about Runescapes mechanics and items, so it will not extensively cover everything. Please let us know if you want more extensive guides or short format guides.

Most Important Items

In Runescape 3, there are a lot of Items that will actually boost your experience per hour or provide all kinds of benefit when you are training a skill,  here are the most important ones for Construction:

Constructor’s Outfit

To get this outfit you need at least level 44 construction. Obtaining it is a little time consuming as you must first complete up to the third quest in the Myreque quest series. Then you need to participate in both the Temple Trekking and Burgh de Rott Ramble minigames. This set gives a flat experience boost while training Construction.

• Constructor’s gloves - 1% Experience boost

• Constructor’s boots - 1% Experience boost

• Constructor’s hat - 1% Experience boost

• Constructor’s trousers - 1% Experience boost

• Constructor’s garb - 1% Experience boost

• Set bonus - 1% Experience boost

Wearing the full set provides a total of 6% experience boost to Construction.

Portable Workbench

This is useful if you want to follow the “flat packed” items route. It offers a chance to save planks while using it and also it gives 10% more Construction experience. Wearing the Brooch of the Gods will double the chance to save planks.

Monkey Butler

Unlike other butlers this butler does not ask money from the player. You will need at least 50 Construction and 60 Invention to create this butler. You will also need to unlock the ability from the cave goblin technology tree.

 1-99 and Beyond Construction Training

In total there are four routes you can take to gain experience in Construction. They all have their advantages and disadvantages, so pick and choose whichever one you like.

Portable Workbench Training

Training construction with flat packs is the least click intensive method of Construction training.

Training at Your Player-Owned House

This is the traditional way of training Construction. This has the fastest Construction experience rates in the game!

Training via Construction Contracts

You can start using this method after reaching level 40 Construction. This method involves taking contracts by talking to any estate agents. This method is both much less expensive then training at your player owned house and way less click intensive.

Training Methods

Levels 40-50

It will take 14 contracts using oak planks to reach level 60.

Levels 70-80/99

After reaching level 70 you can start using mahogany planks. They provide 140 experience per plank plus 1000 experience per hotspot. The hotspot build time decreases to 15 seconds, and award 1 credit per hotspot.(5 if you use mahogany planks for the entire contract.)

Fort Forinthry Training

To unlock this method of training your Construction, you will first need to complete the novice quest “New Foundations”. This quest alone will take you all the way up to level 39 Construction. This method of training is the only Construction training method that will make you money.
