Has Construction been left in the Sawdust?

Featured Replies

 

The fact is using planks is the only realistic way to level your construction, you can easily train ranged whilst getting hides and bones.

 

 

 

That's very interesting but I don't really care.

 

 

 

Personally, I'm going to keep my crystal thrones rather than upgrade to demonic, apart from a steel dragon and some hellhounds I have the most impressive parts of my house there's very little for me to carry on and the main incentive is the extra rooms, there's really nothing useful at the higher levels.

 

 

 

How about the demonic throne, steel dragon and hellhounds?

 

 

 

If Jagex made something in the 90's that was really useful or only useful for the owner of the house that could be a huge incentive, how about a potions lab with the utensils to allows you to make four dose potions from a single herb and ingredient.

 

 

 

There's so much potential in construction that I feel is wasted, now that I have to grind several thousand planks between levels I'm finding it hard to justify, and it's that that makes the skillcape so rare.

 

 

 

 

It's not the fact that the skill is "hard to justify" which makes the skillcape rare. It's that few people who have the money choose to spend it on construction. What kind of things were you expecting to get at level 90+? would you rather that there was nothing like many of the other skills?

 

 

 

PS: Don't be surprised if there's some sort of construction aid introduced with summoning.

 

 

 

I would actually be surprised but in a good way. I don't dislike of construction updates I simply think they aren't really really needed.

 

 

 

I wasn't saying you would care, I was simply saying your point about ranging chinchompas is merely an option, whereas with construction the only option is to spend resources and thus cash.

 

 

 

Demonic thrones etc arn't useful, the point is construction has a lot of potential but Jagex has just made it a skill to show off for the most part so the noobs don't complain that an inaccessable skill is useful.

 

 

 

Again, because the skill is *so* expensive it makes it hard to justify when for that amount of cash you can be getting instant gratification from the respect of players who see you with a godsword or rare etc.

 

 

 

Finally, I'm not trying to argue with you.

 

I think we'd both like to see new things for construction, if you don't think it's the skill for me then you should see my bank after I started training it.

 

Construction is one of the best things in Runescape, and it shows off what Jagex can do, that's why I feel it should have more, but I know Jagex wouldn't want to concentrate on it because it's not a skill for everybody.

Why can't I keep my ordinary armour and weapons in my house? They should definitely add new room for this purpose. Space for each full barrows set. Space for every weapon I would have and space for different metal armours, from bronze to dragon. Also space for bows and ordinary dragonhide armour sets. etc.

 

 

 

Why can't I put most of my quest-obtained items in Quest hall (or somewhere)? It would be great if they added a chest where you could put items like Barrelchest anchor, dwarven helm, neitiznot helm, Ava's accumulator, water tiara, ancient mace, holy wrench, anti-dragon shield, klank's gauntlets, Gadderhammer, Bonesack, 10th squad sigil, etc.

 

 

 

Whatabout slayer room? So that I could store different things bought from slayer masters there.

 

Are you willing to pay the extra money Jagex would have to charge all its paying members, just to pay for this increased use of memory?

 

 

 

Personally, I would be. It's not good enough to yell, "We want more space" when Jagex have already given plenty of concessions in the past couple of years (even to F2P players) without ever increasing the amount we have to pay for the game.

 

 

 

In fact, when I write it like that, the call sounds pretty audacious and cheeky.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I will answer in very simply way :)

 

 

 

I will pay for membership if and only if I want to be member and see it is worth it to be member. It doesn't matter so much for me if I have to pay, for example, 10-20 $ more per year or something like that.

Indeed, and I believe you.

 

 

 

Can you see my point though? Jagex can't really afford to waste that much more memory without either taking away other existing features, or putting our membership fees up. Both of which I doubt would be more popular amongst members than just remaining in Status Quo.

I see it. But still I can argue it. I don't believe that it would really take considerable amount more memore space to add these features. Although it is an issue I cannot know facts. And neither can you, I believe :)

 

 

 

But fact is that if I was able to put those items in my house saving my bank space in that way, it would greatly increase my gameplay experience.

 

 

 

I remember how disappointed I was when my bank became full first time and I realized that I can't keep everything I want to keep and cannot get all items I would want to get at the same time.

 

 

 

But I also have to add that this is nowadays the world's biggest thing for me. If they do those updates I will be happy. But if they don't I won't cry :P

That's why I only refered to a system and not the skill as a whole #-o . If you can't accept simple example then just use the firemaking one. That one has no return.

 

 

 

Demonic thrones etc arn't useful, the point is construction has a lot of potential but Jagex has just made it a skill to show off for the most part so the noobs don't complain that an inaccessable skill is useful.

 

 

 

Not at all, the skill is only partly used to show off and partly used to make actually useful items such as gilded alter. Define use anyways because I consider popularity and fame to be quite a useful asset.

 

 

 

Again, because the skill is *so* expensive it makes it hard to justify when for that amount of cash you can be getting instant gratification from the respect of players who see you with a godsword or rare etc.

 

 

 

When people see my construction cape I am the center of attention and I am placed on a pedestal way above the godsword wielders. Did you really think you were only going to get the respect equivalent to a godsword? It's one of the rarest skillcapes for god's sake! Seeing one of them is something special.

 

 

 

Finally, I'm not trying to argue with you.

If you have the money to spend then why do you complain about spending it? I didn't say it's not the right skill for you to train on account of you being poor, I meant that it doesn't really seem to please you since you can't find a reason to keep training it.

 

 

 

Yes, I would love to see construction updated but that's way farther down on my "wishlist up updates" that I try not to care. I am curious however, what do you want to add to construction to improve it? I can't think of anything better for the skill.
