Construction

Construction in the bot has three distinct parts: Training, Mahogany Homes, and your Player-owned House. Mahogany Homes requires planks and steel bars, and building things in your PoH requires planks as well as various mob drops or buyables.

You can also /offer name:curved bone and /offer name:long bone you get from PvM for construction XP after level construction:3030. Fighting the Wintertodt also provides a small amount of construction XP.

Fastest Route to 99:

  1. /build name:Crude wooden chair quantity:5
  2. /build name:Wooden bookcase quantity:7
  3. /build name:Wooden larder quantity:7
  4. /build name:Repair bench quantity:3
  5. /build name:Crafting table 1 quantity:12

  9. /build name:Mahogany table

Materials Needed:
94 Plank
2,030 Oak plank
92,220 Mahogany plank

Mahogany Homes

A much cheaper alternative, especially for ironmen, is Mahogany Homes. This automatically chooses the highest tier contract you have the level for and gives much more XP per plank, at the cost of lower XP/hr.

Doing expert contracts (70+ Construction) provides roughly 180k XP/hr and gives ~390 XP per Mahogany plank used, meaning construction:9999 would take about 30–35k planks instead of 92k.

Commands:

  • /minigames mahogany_homes start
  • /minigames mahogany_homes buy

See the Mahogany Homes page for full details.

Making Planks

There are three methods for making planks: Sawmill, Demon butler, or Plank-make spell.

Training

Standard training offers the fastest Construction XP and uses the most planks. These builds do not appear in your PoH and currently serve no functional purpose beyond XP. Use /build name:[item] to train.
