Training Construction Cheap

I've seen on the Jagex boards alot of people complaining about the cost of training Construction. I've found there are two really cheap ways of doing this... using lots of soft clay or lots of limestone bricks. I spent about 50k before finding this out myself (I was caught up in the plank hype for a while).

So to put it simply... soft clay and limestone bricks can be made absolutely free, unlike planks. I've used this method to get from lvl 20 to lvl 40 without spending a dime on resources... but because I was using servants, I did still end up spending money... just not tons of it on planks and the such. You just make and remove alot of ponds (100 xp=10 exp per clay), decorative rocks (100 xp = 20 xp per limestone brick) or imp statues (150 xp = 10 per clay, 20 per brick) in a second garden.

The cool thing... you can start doing this from as early as lvl 5 construction.

Now for the downside to this... it isn't as fast as spending all that money.... not nearly as fast, but it works for a good number of levels. Should be considered if you are just starting out the skill. Another downside to this is that the high demand for the stuff can leave the limestone and clay mines pretty crowded.

Side Note: You can use the Gold Necklace on the Crafting calculator and planner to calculate how many Limestones (Rounded up to the next multiple of 5) you'll need to get a target level (Preferable a lower level) or how many your current supply will take you.
