Gandorf61 Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 I was wanting to get my construction from 60-70 and Oak Planks have seemed to have dropped a lot. Is 434gp/plank the usual price or should I wait for it to drop more? I've looked at the GE graphs but I'm not sure if they used to be cheaper or not. Anyone know what the price was before they started to be merchanted? New Question: If I were to turn oak logs into planks approximately how many runs (or number of logs to planks) could I get an hour?

The Dark Lord Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 Over a year ago, I trained 50-73 construction and that's what I remember the prices of oak planks to be... 450-500 each.

Gandorf61 Posted April 18, 2009 Author Share Posted April 18, 2009 Ok then I should probably buy them now before they rise again. Pyramid Plunder Guide Tip.it Forum Rules Adventurer's LogThanks to Cowboy14 for the awesome sig! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dark Lord Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 Ok then I should probably buy them now before they rise again. I wouldn't be in a rush to get them, unless you want the level now. If that's the case, go for it. SWAG Mayn U wanna be like me but U can't be me cuz U ain't got ma swagga on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New Question: If I were to turn oak logs into planks approximately how many runs (or number of logs to planks) could I get an hour? You can have your butler run them for you. Have noted oak logs, money, saw and hammer in your inventory. Use the noted oak logs on your butler and have him unnote them. When he gets back, use them on him again to have him turn them into planks. When he gets back, use more logs on him, and have him unnote them, then build the larders, and he should arrive by the time you're done, and then use the logs he gave you on him to have him run them to the sawmill, and repeat. ~ Proud Father ~ Proud (Currently Deployed) Army National Guardsmen ~ Proud Lakota ~ Retired Tip.It Crew ~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnPax Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 If I were to turn oak logs into planks approximately how many runs (or number of logs to planks) could I get an hour? Time one run and divide that into 3600 and you're done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mister_moocky Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 DO NOT RUN LOGS. Get your butler to do it for you, the 10 second wait (unote + plank) is nothing especially since you'll be building while he unotes them. quit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bladewing Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 If you can make more than 250k an hour, don't bother making your own planks. My guess as to why they're lower priced is that the drops from Armoured Zombies increased supply. That or a merchanting clan stuck their fat noses in another market and dumped their stockpiles.

Gandorf61 Posted April 19, 2009 Author Share Posted April 19, 2009 I totally forgot about the butler's ability to turn logs into planks! Should I use a Demon butler or just a regular one? Also how many times can he unote the logs>turn into planks before I have to pay him? Pyramid Plunder Guide Tip.it Forum Rules Adventurer's LogThanks to Cowboy14 for the awesome sig!

The Dark Lord Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 You pay him the cash that it normally costs to do a log run yourself. He asks for the cash before he runs to the sawmill. The only thing is that he does it faster while you build. Every now and then, he'll charge a salary fee. SWAG Mayn U wanna be like me but U can't be me cuz U ain't got ma swagga on.

The only thing is that he does it faster while you build. Every now and then, he'll charge a salary fee. Do you know approximately how often that salary fee is? EDIT Ok according to runescape I get these calculations using Demon Butler: 8 trips/10k coins 4 trips to bank 24 oak logs unoted 4 trips to sawmill 24 oak logs to oak planks Time 5s/trip for total of 10s Oak logs= 27ea + 250 to turn into plank Each trip the butler will take 24 logs making the cost of using the butler 24x4 trips to bank and sawmill = 96 10,000/96 = 104.16gp/plank (round to 105gp/plank) Total cost of plank making: 382gp/plank Price Brought from GE: 434gp/plank 434-382=52gp less If I use a regular butler though I would only be able to convert 20 planks at a time and it would take 20s to bank and turn into planks. But the planks would only cost a total of 340gp/each So I'm guess that the extra cost is worth it by using the Demon Butler. Does this seem correct?
