Review of Construction Training

[TheAncient]

Training construction over XP weekend has given me the opportunity to research the best construction training options.

 

Here are a list of some observations:

 

If you are using pre-cut planks, keeping your planks in your bank saves you 1 inventory space and also lets you utilize the right-click bank option.

 

Servant-cut 8-Teaks (Ranging Pedestals) 7.2 gp/xp 720 xp per

-- Is faster and only 1gp/xp more expensive than the traditional 8-Oak Larders (480 xp) or 10-Oak Dungeon Doors (600 xp), which are around 6 gp/xp

 

Pre-cut 8-Teaks (Ranging Pedestals) is only slightly more expensive than servant-cut (9.5 gp/xp vs 7) but faster

 

Pre-cut Teaks are categorically better than any Oak method. They're faster, and at the time of this writing, they're cheaper.

 

You shouldn't servant-cut Mahogany Tables because the main point of mahog tables is speed.

 

On servant-cut planks:

-- Servants actually slow you down if you use them to cut planks because:

-- A) They are slower than you

-- B) They screw up your inventory

 

However, you will save a lot of money if you servant-cut planks.

 

You should never run your own planks. Always use your servant in some way.

 

On SC hammers:

-- You should use them in almost all cases; the slight reduction in overall xp rate is worth the money saved.

I tried those ranging pedestals and my house had to reload every time I removed it plus it's hard to click on them, I just stuck with 6 plank teak wardrobes. Those will at worst be 10% slower than oak doors, probably about the same speed since they use less planks.

Your house had to reload? :blink:

 

And teak wardrobes are almost definitely worse than oak doors if you use planks, but if youre servant-cutting them oak is a little bit better like you said.

Training Con over this weekend I dont understand... SC tools are effective enough on Construction, when I did mine it was Mahogany tables with sc tools 76-99 I did within one day.

 

I'd haved opted for something like Herblore ;)

[D Jay99]

Well teak wardrobes are 540xp each and oak doors are 600 so it's not that bad. And yeah every time I removed my range pedestal I got the same screen as you get when you enter your house, lasts 2 secs or something. Not much but enough to annoy me :P

I already got overloads :P The only other skill I was interested in was smithing, and I plan on just using gold ores and half-AFKing it

I did teak wardrobes from 67-75 over the weekend with a demon butler. He would get 24 planks, i would make 4 wardrobes. He would bring 24 more, hold 4, and i would make 3+1. And so on, 2+2, then 2+1+1. At that point i had 16 flatpacks, so i dropped them and repeated. It worked great, I think i'll to it to 80 when i have the cash.

 

And toad, people did cons over the weekend so they wouldn't have to use more sc hammers. They do take a while to get...

thank you so much for the nice methods and explantion

 

but in another subject

yeap, found that unpleasant surprise last bonus week lol.

 

PS don't forget zombie impling jars -> long bones

bladewing calculated xp rate for cashing in + opening of jar time to be about 700k xp/hour

at about 106 xp per jar

(damn bladewing opens jars fast now that I think about it)

bladewing's deleted his post about it, but that's what his data said.

However, you will save a lot of money if you servant-cut planks.

Stupid question, but how do you save money using a servant? It's log-plank cost plus servant salary right? I've never used a servant so I don't know.

 

SC tools I can't be bothered to get anymore. I got very tired of getting pk'ed.

There are SC Clans that focus on non-combat sc, where both teams just gather the clay that way you earn more tools per hour and once the clay is exhausted the game ends after 1 minute of the clay exhaustion ;)

Lately it's (fast sc) been getting crashed with pk'ers quite a lot. I'm not saying they aren't worth it, I just don't like dying.
