Construction training

This article gives tips about training the Construction skill.

Construction is an expensive skill to master. All players should first gain 40 Magic for Teleport to House, but real investment in the skill should only be started when a player has a reasonable amount of spare capital.

Level 1-99
This section will show the time and number of materials needed to reach level 99 Construction training using the most efficient methods possible.

In your inventory, you should have: Considering a player will not run enough to fully deplete their run energy, any equipment is reasonable. However, players must have the Lava Battlestaff (or Mystic lava staff) to save an inventory space and accommodate for Varrock and House teleports.
 * Air Runes
 * Law Runes
 * Nails
 * Saw
 * Hammer

Alternatively, you could simply equip an air staff and carry Law Runes and Earth Runes and teleport to Camelot. Quick tip: If you play on a PVP World, equip an Earth Staff, with Air + Law Runes in your inventory, then use the bank at the Camelot teleport for faster exp.

Quick tip:
Once a player reaches level 30, they may begin to turn Long and  Curved bones in at Barlak for construction experience and gold. He can be found inside the city of Dorgesh-Kaan, which isn't accessible until the player has completed Death to the Dorgeshuun.

Utilizing Phials -
Another feature players may want to utilize when training construction is Phials, in Rimmington. He is an NPC that will unnote items for 5gp per note. He is located in the general store in Rimmington, making it very close to the house portal. A good technique players can use is note all their planks and then use him to unnote them. It is quicker than running to the bank or than using a butler. This does require your house to be in Rimmington, which some players (especially those who host Gilded Altar parties), may not enjoy.
