Training Construction w/Teaks

[SirHartlar]

Well I just saw something on a thread about building Capes of Legends (3 teak planks, 1 legends cape) and unless my calcs are off it seems better than oak doors. I'll be using SC hammers, so the materials needed for 99 are cut in half.

 

 

 

91036 oak planks -> 99

 

60691 teak planks -> 99

 

 

 

Cost of oak planks = 39,418,588

 

Cost of teak planks = 45,700,323

 

 

 

Cost of using teaks instead of oaks = 6,281,735

 

 

 

To me it seems worth it to pay the extra 6M, but maybe I've worked it out wrong?

Don't you lose the cape as well? So that's be another 750 gp each if so.

[Deathmath]

I think you are correct...

 

No you don't lose the cape.

[Eddo89]

Yes, these items give more XP per plank. But you should also know that Oak also have items similar. Armour stand also gives extra xp, with the smithing variation also giving smithing xp and also the higher "class/level" of the armour results in more xp. This is of course if you are going for a more cost effective way. Just for anyone interested.

 

 

 

You don't lose the armour, nor do you lose the cape (or glory for that matter).

 

 

 

But anyway, one thing you should consider is, you are using only 3 teak per construction. Whilst Oak Doors uses 10. So the question is, are you really leveling faster? As surely, the only reason to use teak is for the better xp rate.

Teaks are great value at the moment. Consider ranging pedestals in the combat room (8 Teaks per build same as oak larders)
