The skill of Construction is one of my personal favorites. It allows you to do quite a lot of things. Toys, Furniture, Decorations, these are just a glimpse of what Runescape Construction has to offer.
The first thing you should do is get 1000gp and buy your first house. You can buy your house from the Real Estate Agent in Varrok, Falador, Seers’ Village, or East Ardougne. After you buy your house, you will receive a Construction Book, and be able to enter your house. The very first house you get is located in Rimmington. (Rimmington is South of Falador, the place where the witch is in the Witches Potion quest.) You are able to move it, change its style, add rooms, but all at a price. When you arrive at Rimmington, you will notice a big purple portal. This is how you will get in.
Go to your house will bring you to your home, but you cannot build. Building mode will give you all kinds of options such as adding rooms, planting trees, and building furniture. As I was saying, the Real Estate Agent can do many things for your house, but at a price. So lets look at these prices.
He can change the style of your home; this will require a certain Construction level along with the correct amount of gold. Until level 10, you are stuck with the old Wooden House look. When you reach level 10 you can pay 5,000 gold to upgrade to Stone that looks a lot like Lumbridge. Then you can bump it to White Stone at level 20 for 7,500 gold, and so on up the list. The highest style you can get is called Fancy Stone and it looks like Falador, it requires level 50 construction and 25,000 gold.
The Real Estate Agent is also able to move your home to different locations. Just like the different styles, these also require levels and gold. The level/cost is in the same order as the styles, the starter being in Rimmington and the last at Yanille. With various places in between.
I have spent quite a lot of gold on my house. It is in Brimhaven, which costs 15,000 gold. (It is fun to live on Karamja, a lot to do there, I hardly leave the island.) In addition, my style is Tropical Wood, another 15,000 gold, so that is 30,000 right there and I spent a lot of money trying different styles. Remember; be sure you want to change your style before you do. I wasted a lot of money changing and then changing back a lot.
If you are planning to make a pretty garden, then I would suggest heading up to the Falador Park and talking with the Garden Supplier. She sells many different “bagged” plants. With prices ranging from 1000 gold each to 15,000 gold each.
Servants are a fun twist on Runescape Construction. You can head on over to East Ardougne and hire one. There are some requirements to have a Servant. First, you will have to pay a fee to get a servant, along with paying him or her whenever they request to be paid. You have to have at least two bedrooms each with beds before you can hire one, if you want your servant to make you food, you will need a Dining room, and a Kitchen with the things needed to make the food. The fee you pay to them at first will be the fee they will ask for again, so be sure you can afford it. Now lets talk about the different Servants you can get.
Rick will serve shrimp and can take up to 6 items to and from the bank if needed. The Maid can serve bowls of Stew and cups of Tea, she is faster than Rick when taking things to and from the bank, and she can take up to 10 items.
The Cook is able to take 16 items faster than The Maid, and she can take wood and get planks made. She serves Pineapple Pizza to the guests and you.
The Butler is faster than The Cook of course, and can take 20 items; he is also faster with the planks. Chocolate Cake is what The Butler will make.
The Demon Butler is able to take 26 items to and from the bank, and is even faster than The Butler. He will serve you bowls of Curry. The servant will only ask for payment if you make it do something. So if you are low on gold, do not talk to your servant! Otherwise you might loose him or her.
