I think Jagex has actually gone too far the other way already: NO method of making planks should come without a GP cost!

Construction was originally envisaged as a GP sink, and the game needs that right now more than ever.

That basically was over whenever the invention machines were introduced. At most some players will have used a portable sawmill then, since the spell basically was broken the very second those were introduced for non-ironmen, due to some weird, random 2006 design.

Why should a machine even require gp to operate. Likewise some spell. But honestly we currently have the following setup

- Bill: Fast and expensive, the portable sawmill is a replication of him, which is a bit cheaper, but otherwise works the same
- Sawmill: Slow and free, gives a bit of token xp - but yeah... have fun getting all your planks this way. There is literally a reason why bill's paid service was reintroduced shortly afterwards.
- Invention Machine: Free in gp, needs energy, only converts a fairly limited amount per day
- Lunar spell: Its only strength basically was the instant conversion at the cost of paying runes on top of the gold fee. But basically with bill being next to a bank - why does this spell even exist now? I guess if it was just runes instead of gold it could be an alternative... Improvements: Tooltip / (F2P) QoL v2

maybe its a convenience fee since u can bank stand and make planks rather than them just forgetting the spell exists
You already pay for it with the runes you use, just as you do with any other magic spell. It is not free. I never said anything about it being free now did I? Also that's not technically true u can craft ur own runes for the spell making it free

Yes, and you can also fight monsters and pick up the gold they drop, so the coins are also free, right?

Yes, and you can also fight monsters and pick up the gold they drop, so the coins are also free, right? Or even better: You can plant your own money tree, and pick bags of money from it. Then coins are definitely free.

So it doesn't matter what is used for a spell, because it is all free. Why not throw in a magical thread then and two uncut dragonstones to the "cost" of the spell, because they are free as well. I can't believe anyone would have a problem with that.
