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.

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

Very nice guide. Quick and easy... must try that some times =D>

great guide, i cant wait to actually try it out!

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.

Wow so simple... and it makes perfect sense.

 

 

 

Great find there, nice guide ^_^

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.

Edit: Thanks, wachtwoord. Credit given for this information.

ok, but this kind "guide" for air balloning logs have been posted many times b4

So after you make planks, do you drop the willow log and unequip your ring of duelling?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Just wondering.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Nice guide though.

the willow is used to take the baloon ride.

Yes, and you can now activate the dueling ring while wearing it.

Nice guide HMB!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Should use this to make mahogony logs...but I still have to do the quests. :x

How many logs do u get per hour with this method?

Between 1k-1.5k. Close to 1.5k if I dont get sidetracked

Nice guide, I'll have to try this some time. :D

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.

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

Thanks Psycho. I will add that bit of info.

FANTASTIC! Now i know a good way to make planks. A little advice tho:

 

 

 

In requirement post what quest you have to do, because many people odn't know.

 

 

 

Will take lots of rings of duelign but meh!

Excellent, didnt know about this yet, i'm gonna try it out for sure. Thanks

new gloves... and wasnt it that you could now take 40kg?

Penance gloves reduce wiegth too.

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

Hmm, ok i havent gotten the gloves yet (too busy smithing). Once I try it out, I'll update it. I already listed the Quest that is required whoever said to.

K i have gotten penance gloves. After I get smithing out of the way, it will be in there.
