Pro Tips for Choosing the Right Construction Method

Don't Chase XP Alone

The fastest method isn't always the best. Consider your budget, available time, and account goals before choosing.

Calculate GP per XP Before Buying Materials

Always compare methods using GP/XP rather than total cost. A method with lower total cost might actually be less efficient.

Monitor Plank Prices Frequently

Plank prices fluctuate daily. A 10% price drop on 100K planks can save millions of GP.

Upgrade Methods as You Unlock New Levels

Don't stick with one method from 1–99. Switch to better methods as you unlock them for optimal efficiency.

Use Multiple Training Methods During One Grind

Use cheap methods for early levels and expensive methods only when XP rates matter most (levels 90+).

Common Mistakes Players Make

  • Choosing the fastest method without having enough GP to finish
  • Ignoring GP per XP as the primary efficiency metric
  • Training with the wrong servant (Demon Butler is almost always best)
  • Forgetting Carpenter's Outfit bonuses that reduce plank needs
  • Buying all planks before comparing methods with current prices
  • Not considering Mahogany Homes as a viable alternative
  • Using outdated Grand Exchange prices for cost calculations
