Is the tea you can make in your kitchen and the crystal saw boosting stackable? Meaning both +3 would make it only lvl 69 construction for me to make a guilded alter?

I think yes, you just can't build new rooms if it possible only with boosted construct..

Yes, but it only works for stuff with would normally require a saw.

 

And evil stew can raise construction by 5 which could be used instead of tea. But then again +5 is very rare, so I'd go with tea too :D

Tea is +2

Tea's +1, +2, and +3 theres various versions using different shelf sets, etc from your kitchen.

 

 

 

And yeah I saw the stew, but I'm not much of a quester, and doubt I have the requirements for the recipe for disaster. I mean, I mean how far into the quest is the stew?

25 Cooking and a kitten or cat required (Not overgrown)...

 

All you need is do the list of things the cook needs and then go do Evil Dave (...who is SO TOTALLY EVIL!).

For the stew? thats it like its in the beginning of the quest? Guess I can manage that. Might try the stew then.

Couple things about the stew.

 

1) Write down the color mix for the real Spicy Stew that works in the quest. This is one of those things that are potentially different for everyone, like the Underground pass mosaic floor 'trap'. If you ever need to perform the step again you'll be much better off with a notepad file on your desktop with this info.

 

2) You should collect as many color spice jars as possible with your cat in the basement where all the hellrats are. Like potions the maximum dose size per jar is four, so partials can be combined.

 

3) The stat boosting spicy stew requires 1, 2 or 3 doses of the same color, depending on which color you want (which broad skill type you are shooting for) and how many dice you want to roll, so to speak.

 

4) Get yourself a bunch of regular stews beforehand. Nothing like just missing the right bonus value with your last stew and having to stop there. I buy mine from the bar in Seer's Village. Tedious dialogue steps for each stew, but it works.

 

5) The bonus is very temporary.

 

6) The bonus is extremely variable, and cumulative with more stews. If you find yourself 'in the hole' with negatives, try a stat restore potion to reset to your base stat value. Expect +1 or +2 at the best. Yes something like +5 is technically possible with a 3-dose stew, but the odds are very, very poor.

 

7) I rely exclusively on the Crystal Saw and +2 tea. This gives me a reliable +5 on most construction items. When I hit CON 62, then I can use that +5 to build Teak Shelves 2 with the gold trim, giving me a +6 on building things from then on.

You never need the recipe again after the quest. I guess it's always good to be prepared but I doubt it'll ever be used again.

When I did it, stat restores never worked and I had to wait for my stats to go back up.

Too true. I'm a little paranoid that way. I was so happy to have written down my 'unique' Underground Pass safe path when I had to do the Mourning's End quest that I assumed any unique solution generated during a quest needed to be recorded just in case.

Ick. Maybe I was just lucky while binging on stews for the Varrock achievement diary that I never had to test this theory. There's always Super Stat Restore to test as well.

yes it is, you can boost your construction with the tea/evil stew and have crystal saw in inv, boosting doesn't work for building rooms though, only furniture
