hmgbking Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 Welcome to the World of Plank Making! Table of Contents 1.0. Introduction 2.0. Requirements 3.0. Procedure 4.0. FAQs 5.0. Credits and Last Words 1.0. Intro into Plank Making Are you sick of paying those high prices for planks, or taking that extremely long walk to the sawmill? Well, I was and came up with this guide. If you are new to the construction skill, I advise you to check out the skill guide on Tip.It. It took me a few days to get to 66 Hunter to try this full balloon concept out. 2.0. Requirements For Teak/Mahogany Logs: An Enlightened Journey Rings of Dueling For Oak Logs: An Enlightened Journey Spottier Cape (Level 66 Hunter Required to wear) Boots of Lightness Rings of Dueling The less you weigh, the more oaks you can carry. You can still do this without spotted/spottier cape. 3.0. Procedure The main rule is that you can only be 40 kg when travelling on the balloons. So the cape and boots make you -9 kg together. You can do teaks regardless of the boots or cape because they weigh less. This just in! Penance Gloves adds -4 kg to weight count. After my smithing goal I will update with new pics. So Spottier Cape + Boots of Lightness + Penance Gloves = -13 kg. I have tried and found out that Bomber Jacket and Hat do NOT reduce weight - Start at castle wars. You should be wearing the Spottier cape, dueling ring, and boots of lightness. - For Teaks/Mahogany your inventory should be: Coins, Willow Log, 26 Teak Logs - For oaks, your inventory should be: Coins, Willow Log, 2 Empty Vials (or something else weighing 0 kg), 24 Oak Logs - Go to the Hot Air Balloon just outside and north of the castle wars front door and fly to Varrok. You will be right by the Sawmill guy. Plank your logs and teleport back to Castle Wars. Repeat this until you are done planking all of your logs. 4.0. FAQs This spot is reserved for important Frequently Asked Questions if they arise. 5.0. Credits and Last Words I wrote this guide to inform and help you ease the pain and suffering of planking logs. - I would like to thank you guys for reading this and giving me feedback -JageX for making the game and quests, and Tip.It for giving information to the RuneScape public. - wachtwoord, for more info about inventory and about teaks Harvest Moon Gameboy King Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amorous101 Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 Oooo...nice guide...very helpful. Now that I see the benefits from hot air baloons, I think I will do the quest required. Nice guide, very helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redsnorlax Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 Wow so simple... and it makes perfect sense. Great find there, nice guide ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wachtwoord Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 You may need to add that the log you use for traveling, does not count for the 40 kg max weight. And you don't need a tinderbox either. Another thing is; this is most usefull for making teak planks, they are lighter and you can easily take a full inv with you without even the boots or cape. Only one point of critisism, IMO this is already well known.

Owned_Nex Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 ok, but this kind "guide" for air balloning logs have been posted many times b4 Dungeoneering isn't a skill. I'm faster than bots at Sorceress Garden. PM me if you want to chat. My PM is always off. My keyboard is on fire. Want some? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
totalpwnage Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 So after you make planks, do you drop the willow log and unequip your ring of duelling? Just wondering. Nice guide though. Started free trade with 1.5m cash. 2 weeks later, have hit max cash 2x. PvP drops: 359 Brawling Gloves, 11 Vesta's Longswords, 41+ Zaros/Ancient Statues9 Dragon Full Helms, 3 Dragonfire Shields on the old PvP loot system Brawler guide is being finished!

hmgbking Posted December 7, 2006 Author Share Posted December 7, 2006 Yes, and you can now activate the dueling ring while wearing it. Harvest Moon Gameboy King Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nitemare100 Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 Nice guide, I'll have to try this some time. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psycho44 Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 just to add to your insightful guide. I found wearing the bomber jacket and hat given after the quest also lowers your weight. And since I hate walking I've incorporated the oak plankings to my construction power lvling. Whenever my energy drains to 0 and my patience wears thin, I'll go make oak larders with those planks until my energy returns to 0 or I used up all those oak planks. rs name is da sameSkill Total: 2053+Combat Lvl: 125 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mindthrower Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 nice guide, I've planked many mahogany logs using this method. also kudos to whoever pointed out that the bomber hat and jacket lowers your weight! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hasib Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 an alternative is this 1. start of in CW 2. use balloon to saw mill (willow log) 3. at the saw mill cut both a yew *AND* a normal log 4. Once u got ur planks go to tavely using ur normal log... in tavely cut a willow log 5. use the yew to cw 6. use the willow from Tavely to start over again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
