the skill was meant to be a money drain/fun/give something for people to use high amounts of money on instead of rares. 54m isn't too bad compared to other skills.

 

 

 

 

I got to 62 cons this way (high enough to make home teletabs [my ultimate aim] with crystal saw - another quest - and tea from porcelain cups) and it hasn't cost me a penny.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It has cost you a penny, just out of kingdom profits. That's cooking the books to make it look better. :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ah, you got me....its a tax dodge!

Limestone and clay. Nuff said.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The hell is the point of this thread anyway?

My house is the shape of an 0 and it cost me ALOT of money

Why bother making planks when you could rc to cover the costs AND gain xp while you do so.

I find Con as a luxury skill, not as one i'm obligated to raise. I got mine to 48 for a portal room for barrows, thats all i'm really interested in atm.

dude...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

they're called genies :roll:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

heh, jk :P

Ouch! Count me out for a longggg time!

 

I read this, and thought "Why does everyone think you HAVE to use wood to raise levels?"

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Then I saw the replies, and realized how smart tipiters are. Hehe.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As mentioned on the replies, this cost is how much it would cost if you BUY the skill. Getting Con levels with wood is extremely fast exp.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Getting the con levels the hard, free way, with limestone and clay, would be hard levels, but you don't HAVE to buy the exp. You don't have to buy Dragon bones to raise to 99 prayer. You can get them yourself for free. (And I'll come to your 99 party in 2010. Hehe)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I was actually hoping this post would be adding up how much it would cost to FURNISH your house with all the best stuff.... but alas....Someone shoudl add up all the best furniture... eh?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Every room except a rocking chair room. Give me a price for a 20 room house! 2 bedrooms, study, 1 teleport room, dungeon, throne room, etc...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

How much is it to deck out a full house at 99 con?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Well I went to fredmcgarry's 99 con party and he said that he had spent over 300M on his house which had the best of everything, and this was along with training con to 99 in an extremely fast manner.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Furnishing is expensive I have near enough completed my workshop and have 2 of the best beds in.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

However I ran through totaling up all other materials I need to build my house (after 99 con) and I need 30 magic stones - whihc alone are in the region of 30mil

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Its gonna cost me about 60mil to train it up, then I figured its atleast another 60mil to furnish it

i was just looking at my bank, and realized, i have no room. So, my question is, can u flatpack costume room items? if so, ill trade 10k per piece and the items for it. thanks, and could u pm me on tip.it or on rs-rsn killer 265...thanks a bunch :D

there is one skill: woodcutting get your smithing high enough and make better nad better axes nad woodcut alot. :wink:

oops ment and woodcut alot :oops:

Seriosuly People lets be realistic if you really believe there are people in the game who are going to gather 218k planks your an idiot. everyone will spend Atleats 10m theres no way anyone would get 99 con with getting there own materials.. Find someone who gets 99con without spending a penny i give them the 54m it should have taken to get there.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

also 54m? good lord thanks for the math

LOL!!!!

 

 

 

I have 30k and 30 canstruction and have only used.... 100k so far!

ya im sure lime stone blocks cost like 20 gp ea maybe less and takes less time then planking logs

I hate how most people just take one look at the cost for 99 construction and shy away. As if they expect everything in Runescape to be easy, cheap, and almost handed to them. I have 99 construction myself and spent about 120m gp on it. At first glance, I never so much as imagined that I'd ever have level 99, because it costed "so much" to get to level 99. But I got there with ease in about 2 short months of off and on leveling, and got 90 runecrafting with it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sure, it does take a little more extra work, but that doesn't mean it should be tossed to the side or viewed as "too hard." Don't just give up because it's one of the (or the only) only skills that cost gp to raise it, no matter how you do it.
