eastking Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 This was the weirdest thing. I log onto runescape and there's anew skill ...construction!! it says u can now build ur own houses, but there's one catch. To build a house it cost money. Which means to raise ur skill level in construnction, IT Cost Money. has there ever been a skill that cost money to raise? this is ridiculous, skills are something that u should be able to train no matter how poor u are. every other skill except this one is potentially free to train. so my question, could there have beed some other way to let ppl build their own houses without making a new so-called skill?

aussy4321 Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 I can't get the exact qoute but Jagex said something about they made Getting a House and Normal Planks cheap so even the lowest of levels can do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyco Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 It only cost like 1.5mil to get to 60. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smapla Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 It actually doesn't cost anything to raise, if you were to mine your own clay / limestone and such. However i must admit i put 2 mil into it already lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sy_Accursed Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 the construction skill in itself can be total free planks nails clay and limestone can all be gotten free, while friends workshops provide a palce to make furniture for free The only cost tht is vitally invovled is buying ur first house And thought they do not cost money all skills cost in someway cooking, smithing, fletching, firemaking, runecrafting to be 'free' all cost fishing, mining, wc xp herblore costs combat or farm xp for herbs combat costs getting food slayer costs combat magic costs runes range costs arrows etc i could go on, point of the matter is yes it may cost some money, but every single skill in game costs you something Unless it is a producer skill (mine, wc, fish) as they produce the raw resources all other skills cost you time and xp in another skill or money to lvl up efficiently Operation Gold Sparkles :: Chompy Kills :: Full Profound :: Champions :: Barbarian Notes :: Champions Tackle Box :: MA RewardsDragonkin Journals :: Ports Stories :: Elder Chronicles :: Boss Slayer :: Penance King :: Kal'gerion Titles :: Gold Statue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n64jive Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 all skills cost money, construction is just one of those that indoubtably may have no way to make much money off the PURE skill itself(not gathering materials for the skill) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr_emflum Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 I agree you can do every other skill in runescape and get some levels (maybe not best way and maybe not fastest) but the point is you can doo all skill sexcept construction with 0 gp ... it is impossible to level con with 0gp impossible i tell yeah (don't even post you can do it free with clay you need to buy your house) ok ok ... you can use lamps ... but lets be serious lamps can't get you anywhere.

assassin_696 Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 (don't even post you can do it free with clay you need to buy your house) So you're so cheap that you can't fork out 1k to buy your own house? Poor show old boy. So what if Jagex has made a skill that to train effectively needs lots of cash? Just consider getting that cash like gathering a material that you would need for any other skill.

bobby1167 Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 The title to this topic is kind of misleading You always spend some money to raise a skill..Construction spends...more..

This skill can be free, all you need to do is just aquire everythign on your own. Well except the cost of buying rooms and such...but its better than other skills.

Shazarabbit Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 This skill was brought in to take money from all those who are incredibly lazy and have used high alching as a source of income. It was also made to allow those with vast riches to show their wealth. Why should a level 30 that has no money be allowed to show wealth?

I_Politik_I Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 To be honest, I have no idea why it's called Construction. You don't build any part of your house... You just buy it for outrageous amounts. Why does a parlour cost 1k, yet an Alter costs 50k even though they're basically the same layout AND size? :x All that's different is what they can be furnished with. :oops: RSN: Scotay444 ~ 90+ Attack ~ 107+ CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Umega Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 combat costs getting food I can catch and cook my own fish, so that's free anyway. slayer costs combat Slayer is totally free with combat, I hardly spend gp on slaying monsters.......except of couse the equipment you need, which can be bought only once if need be.

With this you NEED to have money... I'm not gonna explain for a third time that you DO NOT NEED money it is perfectly simple to train without money besides it is logic step the econmy is way overload as every part of the lets millions of gp into the game with no effective way of taking it out of the game This is merely the come bk, the econmy can find a natural balance now rather than continuing to swell Ever since rs first began to econmy has grown like 2 or 3 times faster than money has been taken from game via shops this is merely a step tht will balance income to the game with outcome But anyway it is possible to do construvction without money use a friend worksshop, make nails, collect planks from spawns an ta-da flat pack furniture giving full construction xp without spend a single gp Operation Gold Sparkles :: Chompy Kills :: Full Profound :: Champions :: Barbarian Notes :: Champions Tackle Box :: MA RewardsDragonkin Journals :: Ports Stories :: Elder Chronicles :: Boss Slayer :: Penance King :: Kal'gerion Titles :: Gold Statue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
